    This reminds me of the endless 1980s night clubs dancing. Especially as a student. The smell of the dry ice 'smoke', the green lasers, the feeling of fear going to chat up a girl, the alcohol, the cigarette smoke, the level of loud music, and the way the dancing crowd would move en masse. Such an amazing time, we just never realised it, we thought it would last for ever....

    Every ERA has an end. But remember the good times and compair them to today's teenagers life, the gap is huge & not saying that because im 50 but because quality and spontaneity was the feeling of 80's & 90's. You woke up every morning with the feeling that something great is going to happen....

    I grew up in the 1970's and 80's in a small town in the Canadian prairies. I knew gay people, but no one could ever reveal that aspect of their life. I had an older brother who was autistic and everyone was so cruel to him, bullying him constantly. The one person who stook up for him was the principal of the elementary school. My parents knew the principal was gay, and he was allowed to be himself in our home. He could empathize with my brother. Neither was considered normal. Both were hated. Neither did anything to deserve it. Neither understood the hatred they faced. They felt it every day. The principal's partner died suddenly one day, and that poor man had to grieve in silence and without showing emotion. Eventually he left our town, never to return, his heart broken in half. This song always reminds me of him.

    I remember that video! That's when I was growing up. A lot of the bands from the 80s were gay or had gay members. We all knew what some of the songs "meant... We actually challenged each other to REALLY listen to not just the beat, but the "message". back then, people knew who was gay and who was straight. We just didn't make a big deal out if it and all treated each other the same. I sure do miss those days.

    When this song came out there was no Internet or anything, I didnt know the video was a young guy on a train. But I remember listening to this song on my Sony Walkman, on the train to London, on my own for the first time to go and see if I coukd find any other gay people, go to a gay bar for the first time and discover myself. I was terrified but excited. Songs like this helped me believe, and cope. It was the beginning of my gay life and an amazing adventure. Hearing this song still takes me back to thst train journey to London, I even remember which seat I had. Now I feel my journey is coming to an end. And I'm so sad about it. I wish I could do it all again. Now living with hiv, fighting cancer, still afraid of being alone, I still love this song and the memories it evokes.

    The first time I heard this song on the radio I went to my local record store and I asked the staff at the shop who sung it and I was told Bronski Beat. I asked if they had the 7” record and I was told no it’s out of stock, but we have one special version of the vinyl record left. I asked a special version, the staff member gave me a special 12” pressed vinyl record that is in the shape of the band name Bronski Beat.. I don’t know if it’s rare or worth anything, but I’ve still got it in my vinyl record collection

    This song that saw me leaving my small town and heading for the big city in the 80s - It was probably the most important song in my life for it still makes me very emotional - It was a call to arms for so many as it inspired them to become whoever they needed to be in a world that could be very cruel. Jimmy is the only member of Bronski Beat still alive as the other two band members are longer with us as both their lives were cut short through illness.

    what a song... both lyrics and melody - sad and uplifting at the same time - they invoke an emotion but also tell a story. and the video totally fits and is also amazingly well done - down to earth visual language helps one to identify with characters, and it tells a whole (back)story in under 5 minutes. sometimes it all just comes together.
