It really was this song and composition, that mesmerized me, totally. I've been a big fan of the sound of the clarinet and saxophone ever since. Its music that moves you, the most powerful of all. I used to cry as I believed the words and felt I knew the story too. The fact that I was 14 and knew myself to be gay, was another powerful driver into Soft Cell. Non Stop Erotic Cabaret was a masterpiece, with a song for everyone, at different times and parts of their life. A naughty secret for many but a stark reality for more. Youth and Seedy films, seemed to predict today's insular world, after the essences of youth has flown and perhaps your love too, they highlight what you have left, when your two thirds through, spending your lifes penny. It's an album you need to hear atleast once a year, to keep you grounded, and helps you count your blessings.

I mean, Lord, we both lived through Soft Cell…but so few of us paid much attention to this song. I’m home now (sober-ish) and I had to put it on. How utterly privileged I was to be an 80s kid.

@@SC-jh9qp Yep,i remember buying it!A while later i remember buying the Art of falling apart album,i was one of the first to buy it,first few copies came with a little flexi disc single of a Jimi Hendrix cover,of all things!!Ended up being worth a fair bit of money,even a few months after. 12 inch singles were great,the amount of times i heard a song and thought why in the hell wasn't that longer,and hey presto! ;-)

Hi Stephen,hope you’re okay ?

The backing drum loop and keyboard and that chorus is such an amazing 80s sound. Oddly this song is like a time machine, transporting you back in time. Warm and safe in a much simpler time 😊

Unreal. 80s best decade ever

Absolutely 😘👍

The chorus always gives me shivers.

His perfectly imperfect vocals make this even more of a masterpiece. So raw and powerful.

Immer und immer wieder... Und immer wieder Tränen in den Augen.... Mein Gott,was für ein Song

An 80's perfect pop tune.

Early 80's, me and my brother, driving our dads car, windows wound down, soft cell tape, singing our heads off, everyone looking, couldn't give a crap, just brilliant, thanks so much soft cell, brilliant x

People look because it's natural, and because I'm sure, also, you two were too cool. 😁

And that feeling comes right back to me after 40 years. I'm all teary now, it was so personal when I was 14

This song is just amazing

Simply: one of the decade's best songs.

I remember my 17 year old son buying this and endlessly playing it, use to irritate me, we played it at his funeral a few years later, I quite like this song, it took a long time to grow on me:)

Feb 1982 when this charted. I'm 55 now but my parents had just separated and it was a desperately sad time in our lives. The music of the time was the thing that kept you going. This is such a lovely song.

This has always been a great frigging song.

This is an utter classic . Listening Christmas day 2020 .
