Honestly have loved this particular video version of this song, since first hearing it, over a year ago I think, but anyhow, it inspired me in several ways, one of which to go see at Let’s Rock in Shrewsbury…..not next door for us, but myself and youngest son can’t wait to see 🥰

Dave Ball laughing at 2:36, just shows these talented musicians are really good friends, you can see the love and warmth between them. C'mon Dave & Marc, keep Soft Cell alive, your majestic songs are perfect. It shows a fantastically well written back catalog, that when, even re-recorded in a new version, they still sound masterful. What a band.

I'm a 68 year old man and this beautiful song is one of the most emotional tunes ever written. Dave's incredible keyboards and Marc Almond's beautiful and emotional vocals make this song so special. I cry everytime I hear it, for no particular reason except it is such a magnificent song, both lyrically and musically.

The greatest, most Haunting, Melancholic Tragic Love song of all time ❤......

Great vocals

I love this more than I have the words to say. I ache and burst with an uncontainable adoration for this song and performance. I am at the same time devastated into desolation, to learn that their last ever performance is days away and sold out.

Last performances and irrecoverable partings are always sad... at least today compared to the 1980s.,there are many more ways to access quality recordings of performances that can alleviate the "endings" time brings, and instead relive the moment!

If this doesn’t put a smile on your face you’ve no soul pure class Marc and Dave great song

mark & dave i had tears in my eyes at the end you did a great job

Outstanding bought a tears to my eyes.

Beautiful, almost brings a tear to my eye, grew up with this band, I'm so lucky to have been a teenager in the 80's

Love this. Can't beat it when the audience join in, and what makes it even better.....no bloody phones in the way.

A stray cat came to a neighbours house and we looked after it but months later it became ill and i took it to the vet for where it was put to sleep. The words "I never knew you, you never knew me , say hello goodbye" makes me remember him.

Blimey, that puts me straight back into my childhood bedroom in the early 80’s!

Take your hands of me always puts a chile down my spine but not sure why. Marc Almond has a beautifully haunting voice as we all know.

My favourite song of the 80s 💚

Absolutely Beautiful, my teens in a 7 inch piece of plastic xx

A classic love song........we've all been there...

What an amazing live performance.

Welcome back Soft Cell. Keychains and Snowstorms is one of the best band retrospectives ever. Dave Ball's new remixes are so beautiful.

A truly beautiful song. It’s so good to see these two reunite, even though it was for such a short time.

Fucking hell ,tears in my eyes,that was beautiful

Absolutely fucking amazing. Huge smile on my face - bought this when it came out back in nineteen eighty oatcake- a wonderful song.

Been ages since I've heard this. Absolutely beautiful.

Saw them in Tiffany’s in Glasgow in 1983 was one of the loudest gigs I have ever attended and I’m a rock chick loved them.

I love Soft Cell

Every now and then i just get the urge to listen to this song . Ime not a huge soft cell fan and I don’t really like the song tainted love probably due to it been overplayed but this song and the way it’s written and the lyrics .

This album andsong was a favourite of myself and my wife in 1981, 43 years later its still perfect. what a song,what a voice

There is just some kind of magic when they perform together, like all great acts, it just works.

Love love love this song. I sing it on karaoke 🎤 nites - theeee Best Thank you Marc Almond

So many years passed on these amazing artists but the GREAT MUSIC is here to stay!

Groups, bands, singers, whatever, could learn so much from these two musical giants. And the thing that really got me was the fact they must've played this tune a gazillion times yet they looked liked they were having a 'ball'! Sorry Dave, I had to say it. Pure unadulterated class, from start to finish. Thanks boys.

Still a class act, Marc’s voice is still amazing. I can’t wait to see them in Manchester on Friday ❤️

Takes me back , remember hearing the 12" version for the first time as if it was yesterday

Thanks boys - MUSIC enjoyment. BRILLIANT

Sometimes when your around in the eighties you miss absolute perfection because there was a lot of stunning stuff but this was the gold.

Love the t-shirt. With those boots he looks like a doll. Random observations.

Amazing! love it now as much as loved it in 1980s

Genuine Talent never diminishes - X .

Bloody hell these guys can still nail it!

Unfortunately, they didn't get much promotion here, and neither did Marc for his solo endeavors... He did get some traction with "The Stars We Are", but I think cancelling the subsequent tour date in Los Angeles ended any momentum...

I can't leave without saying, what a classic and what people not forgetting Dave Ball, without Dave what would have happened to the modern elctro keyboard synthesis? I'll let you in on a top secret, we'd still be grappling around in the 80's 😆
