Amazing how he still sounds exactly the same as on the album 30+ years ago..... Deacon blue Raintown one of my favourite all time albums and bands .. so many memories....👏
So very lucky to have grown up with the fantastic 80s music!!! And they are still great!! Deacon Blue had quite a few great tunes that you can now call classics!! Luv em!!
Still as good as they ever where Love this band 2 fantastic voices coming together to sing some amazing songs ... Roll on October when I get to see them in Manchester
feeling very old now - I grew up with this song! Lorraine STILL looking like its great fun and boogying around. The pianist still plays that riff as excellent as when they first recorded it SUPERB!
Someone else mentions how 'old' they look ! Well yeah, we're all getting older ! I know it's a cliche, but age really is just a number. A passionate heart never ages, and I wish I could still do and experience the things I was passionate about in my teenage years the way this band still does in 2021 !!
Takes me back, Aston Villa leisure centre, few beers, waiting for a truly great evening. And they never disappointed. Great live band, no gimmicks, just great music / lyrics.
I take my dog walking on canal near me there are a few boats some looking neglected someone has written dignaty on one of them ...wish I had a sunblest bread bag to place on it great song fantastic lyrics 🎉🎉
Most working class areas, now likely to be considered underclass, are brimming with it. It seems we get taught different things are valuable compared to the upper class areas.
You both are amazing... I am from the Isle of Man but live in Singapore for 11 years now... first seen your song on youtube... amazing!!!!!!!!! Love you both!!!!
Wow how good was that. Scary that by now, if Boogie hadn’t been sailing Dignity and enjoying his retirement, it would be 53 years working for the council.
Strange story this but true. A dentist i went to regularly (late 80/90s), had a signed picture of the band on the ceiling of his surgery. So when you were lying back getting work done, you were staring at this signed photo of Deacon Blue! They had also written on photo thanks for all the hard work, so I'm assuming he had done dental work for them as well. There was a rumour going about that they (and the dentist), had all been at University together, but this was never substantiated. He was a top dentist , but a very serious individual. He never smiled and would shout at his dental nurses in front of you if they made a mistake. I think they were terrified of him! I remember one day , I had just come out of his surgery, and was booking a follow up appointment, and he suddenly came storming out of the surgery slamming the door behind him. I asked the nurse what that was all about, and she said he was furious because he was late for lunch!!! wtf. I heard he retired from his line of work in his early forties, probably just as well lol
I went to see Wet Wet Wet with my wife and about two weeks later we went to see Deacon Blue for her. I was a little disappointed with the Wet's but have now been a lifelong fan of Deacon Blue]ever since. would of been 30 years ago.
This sort of music takes me back to better, happier, much less complicated times. Times I would go back to in a heartbeat
100% agree with you
Me too,in a shot.
Il go to
The best years of our lives.
Said by a child of the time who had never suffered the bigotry of the time. Grow up hun.
this song will never age.. the perfect story in a song
I so love it when Lorraine lets off a few of her iconic dance moves…. She has so still got it going on 🥰
You can lose everything else, but you can have YOUR dignity.
Amazing how he still sounds exactly the same as on the album 30+ years ago..... Deacon blue Raintown one of my favourite all time albums and bands .. so many memories....👏
Classy version of a classic song. Ricky and Lorraine, dignified and so well matched, pitch for life.
