Same boat. These bands have saved a lot of young lives. Back then being gay meant hate, sadness, and aids related deaths. I count mine among them. It also filled the dance floor for decades.
This came out in '86 the same time I met my husband Gareth. We had 34yrs together. I lost him to pancreatic cancer in 2020 at 58yrs old. This song takes me back there. Love you Gar. Miss you love. He didn't want to leave me this way.......❤❤
Im 46 and my sister was 49 she died nearly 4 years ago and growing up she loved bronski beat and Jimmy Somerville and listening to it in 2024 reminds me of my childhood some of the best music of the 80s ✌🏼💙.
It's only a young looking Rev Richard Coles tinkling the ivories. What a brilliant time to grow up. Didn't appreciate everything at the time, but now I'm a lot older and thankfully still not grown up...
YEah, they lied to us, didn't they? How's that "bright" future working out? At least the world hasn't cracked in half, yet, this year. Give us time. We'll foul it up.
@@888ssss Yes, even thumping gay beats were incredible. Why do u think 40 years later and Hollywood is still desperately trying to recreate 80s entertainment
Right now I'm 52, but I've just been dancin' around the livin' room like I'm 16 again. Great memories of teenage years, old friends (wishing you all well), and good times.
In the 80s My sister was the coolest person I knew. She listened to this song, and introduced me to Rage on ABC tv . We lived in a small town in western Queensland, Australia. This song reminds me of the cherished parts of our otherwise abusive childhood. Set me free!🙂 best song ever! Here we are in 2022
The same with me, Owen. I grew up with the worst excuse of a father who prefered his gambling and drinking over getting off his BIG lardarse backside to go out to work and provide for his wife and 3x son's. He was always a vile man that as i've become older, wiser and knowing that i've given my 4x son's all the love and respect that they deserve so much and my son's make me and my wife so proud, every single day. My father was violent, abusive and evil in mine and my 2x brothers lives as we grew up but once i turned 16 i was outta there as fast as i could. I took the decision to cut my father and mother right out of my life a long time ago and i'm so glad i did. They don't deserve to see how well my son's have become such amazing young men.
I’m 60 😱and the 80’s were obviously the peak music listening period for me, some fantastic new wave music then. Bronzki beat and the Communards among the finest ❤
Im 60yrs old and back in the 80s if this song came on we all hit the dancefloor and what a brilliant song this is and jimmy and Sarah's voices are cracking together and anyone who hasnt felt like dancing to this tune must be on another planet cause I know that I did everytime it came on in a pub or nightclub and I have a 40yr old son who now dances to it and he was born in the 80s great memories from back then love it
Worked with Jimmys brother John many years ago in Maryhill town hall in Glasgow and I admitted to him I was a massive Communards fan. The week before Christmas I got a Christmas card from Jimmy himself. Made my day......
@@prestwickpioneer3474 thank you! I just looked her up (was looking at Google search results when I noticed my Gmail notifications). Really fascinating and varied career.
80s all day long will never be beaten life was simple music at its best tv at its best wish I could be there again best time of my life 58 and still wearing the filas Sergio’s reliving my youth 😂
In this age, people lived human lives among people... It was a huge honor. It was an honor to live in this age. And these songs helped me become a better person! I'm proud! Ebben a korban emberek éltek emberi életet emberek között... Óriási megtiszteltetés volt. Megtiszteltetés volt ebben a korban élni. És ezek a zenék segítettek jobb embernek lenni! Büszke vagyok!
So many memories 1986, it was Summer and I just turned 20 when I worked in Bournemouth, sitting on Boscombe Bay beach hot like today, on my day off, this comes on a radio somewhere, all is well with the world, good times ❤❤
There are often small rivalries with our English neighbors, but we must recognize their undeniable superiority in the field of contemporary music. I'm 69 years old and Anglo-Saxon music has always helped me live better and it still does.
I listened to this song from a double audio cassette "Now We are 8," pinched from the glove compartment of a VW Passat driven by my father's coworker. Although I am technically a child of the 90s, now nearly 45, this song made such a big impression on me as a 12 year old growing up in Nigeria, without a mum (at that period in my life) nor a sibling, and zero access to music.
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere Compliment and love towards my music❤️❤️❤️may god bless you.

This is the second time I have seen this comment left.
I think the other was on a Paul Young song.
They are all 80's songs that remind me of my husband Gareth who I met in 1986 . He passed in 2020 .

Love that drummer!! She looks like she is 100 percent into it!!!

J adore

It's 2023. Thank you Jimmy for your music, your voice and heart❤❤❤ My children listen to you more than they listen to me 😂❤🫶👍💪🤗
The heart of the UK vibes in the 80s. Treasure that USA will never know or fully understand.
Here in Dec 2024 while watching the UK I’m a Celebrity……..to see Reverend Richard. 💙
It was Rivals that brought me here
Me too ❤😊
SATANIC MUSIC !!
I’m 61 and still love this music
So happy to be young in the 80s ❤ the future was bright and music so excellent
YEah, they lied to us, didn't they? How's that "bright" future working out? At least the world hasn't cracked in half, yet, this year. Give us time. We'll foul it up.
I hope you're aware this is a cover
im 67 now still love jimmy and this song. he was born to sing this song hes fabulous .
For those that don’t know. The fella on the piano is the Reverend on I’m a celeb 2024.
Yeah this song was just mentioned too in a dingo dollar challenge!
Yeap what a change of career! We used to blast this , best times 😊
Hahah mad that though aint it
Only Jimmy Somerville could remake one of the 70s classic dance songs, less than a decade later, and make it an 80s anthem.
Jimmy’s version of this song is the best !!!!
This song was sung in tje jungle arms on I'm a celebrity
The beat, the voice, the whole rythm makes you wanna dance! This is one song that I never get tired of listening to ...so much talent in the 80's! 💖
Could not have said it better1
L âge de comprendre une blague, un bizutage et une notion de bien ?
❤
I think you should read the text can be different in different minds
The version by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes was better, but this is a very close second.
Another reason why the 80s are the best decade for music. Pure genius from such a pure voice.
1980s thumping gay beats.
@@888ssss Yes, even thumping gay beats were incredible. Why do u think 40 years later and Hollywood is still desperately trying to recreate 80s entertainment
this song is fuckin garbage compared to other 80s music.
The best decade in music was the 1960s which gave the impetus to bands of the 1970s and 1980s.
YES, spot on. The music of today is just a load of shit, thanks to UA-cam we can step back in time to 80s great Music.
I’m 71 and just rediscovered the Communards and Jimmy in particular. I love his voice .
He was part of Bronski Beat also
And her tits.
Right now I'm 52, but I've just been dancin' around the livin' room like I'm 16 again. Great memories of teenage years, old friends (wishing you all well), and good times.

Questa è adrenalina pura. Una cura contro lo stress!😊 Da il buonumore ascoltare queste super canzoni anni 80!
This piano player is amazing.
Richard Coles, pianist here became a vicar, ordained 2005!
im 52! what a brilliant feeling this music has on me after all of these years. I can still dance in my place like a complete lunatic !!!
Io ho 58 anni e questa musica mi riporta indietro nel tempo .gli anni 80 non ritorneranno più.
They don’t make songs like this today the beats the music takes me away to to a happy place of youth , jimmy is best of Britain in 1980s
Can we book the Dr. with his Tardis and go back please?

This version has never been bettered. Amazing. Perfect
Yep!
This song make you feel good and the only way is to dance the night a way
I think Thelma Houston's version is just as good.
My sister had an extra ticket and got me to go along to see the communards In Leeds in 1986, awesome concert.
54 and feeling nostalgic. I’m dancing in my heart. This song is like a Time Machine.
I'm also 54 & wish I could turn back time & go back to the greatest decade of music.
53 and me too!!!! Really!
I am 62 and still love this
I m 55 and loved that and still adore it. Now it's not music they do. We are lucky to grown in those years...
Brilliant I'm 62 thus takes me back to a a fun time no social media just people having fun 😅

One of the best songs of the 80's. I remember i even bought the 12" single. This song had the best sound quality back then.
12" single! Are you talking about those black discs that my grandfather had a lot of?
@@lekarzkto Absolutely. 😂
@@IkeMann100 😉
12" must be some kind of record
I think it was the best song of the 80's
Jimmy boy was having fun, showing who he really is, dancing like a kid, singing like a woman, it was a good time
During the 80's I was a depressed teenager, this was the only song that as soon as it played I was lifted from my dark place. Loved this song 🎵❤
