Oh God, when I was in my late teens and early 20s I almost licked the TV screen whenever David appeared. Now aged 64 I almost want to do it again! He was SO gorgeous!!
Went to see him at Birmingham symphony hall many years ago now , first class performance,first class performer,just got so much talent,still listen to his music today and i am now 81 year old but his music makes me feel young again,thanks David for singing for us.🏅🏅🏅🎼🎶🎵
It's because of this song that I went to Tahiti, Bora Bora has the best beach in the world, Bora Bora is the most beautiful island in the world, thank you David Essex for bringing Tahiti to the world!
Hey Tony, I remember you!! Not sure if you remember me ;-) My name was Fiona Swinburn then. I loved Mutiny so much too. Saw it many, many times. I worked in the Regent Palace hotel over the road. I worked for the BBC for a while and am a novelist now and my first book 'Isabella' was inspired by 'Mutiny'! Strange but true!
I saw David Essex in "Mutiny" during my first trip to London in 1985. Boy, does this video bring back a lot of great memories! Thanks for posting this!
Tim Stein- I know you made the comment a very very long time ago, I also saw Mutiny but not in 85-I saw it in March of 86 was brilliant........My very first musical I saw when I was 4 was Starlight Express in summer of 85

Love it with the girl singing with him it was a portrayal of a drama scene from the musical Mutiny and this set me along the path of Davids wonderful acting as well as singing more than any video as its beautiful very beautiful for both David and the girl with the sea covering them in gushes and the pink flowers add that extra touch ...Davids wet clothes well that was before Mr Darcy's portrayal by Colin Firth. I never tire of the drama video of this song. 💕
The "girl" was 80s pop star Sinitta who's since appeared as Simon Cowells assistant on XFactor, but she also has a history in musical theatre before her pop fame. Just a wee MT fact there for you. :-)

This man is so beautiful. His smile is beyond endearing,especially when he bites his lower lip.
(Sorry,I got stuck there for a sec.)

The honour of receiving
These tokens of my love
Though we stand worlds apart
My dreams were battered and torn
But they brave the stormy seas
Tahiti, the goal of my life
Receive me home

We are worlds apart
But together
Now, in one dream
We cannot talk
But we feel love
Our hearts run wild and free
Together now in Tahiti
After sailing the stormy sea
Tahiti, the goal of my life
Please, love me
Mamiti the love of my life
Please, love me
The beauty of this emerald isle
Set in a sapphire sea
The flowers, the sky, the mountains high
Bow to your beauty
When I left England's shore
Bound for Tahiti
I believed in dreams
I believe that man should be free
But how those dreams were battered and torn
Like the storms that hit The Bounty's beams
Tahiti, the goal of my life
You've given me back my dreams
Pu ti iapa eri ta ne
I love you
Ma ru arey arey a mama
Love me too
Te arey hiti ma hana
The flowers, the sky, the sun

I like this version must better than the one with the girl in it-the girl just ruins the whole point.
