It's easier if you just don't give a f***.

im not gay but his voice and music wow

@@vovac8915 That's hard to do if you are having your head stamped on for being gay.

I think we were more civilized in 70s, 80s, than afterwards, when the economic system started getting worse and worse.

Even as straight tears allways wells up i my eyes. This was my generations Exodus Song Jimmy you made a difference.

One of the most underrated Artists

Same and I agree underrated

Screeming and dancing and crying!!

50 old woman here, and definitly ok with you,sad to say but the horizon was more opened

I know this town very well, since I, quite literally, spent my childhood there. Some people called it "Black Hoexter" for some reason back in the day...

Speaking your mind, I really love the keyboards.

Hear u I'm not gay but went to gay they can dress and can dance luv this 😅

Same man, it's a very beautiful song

Ikr lyrics are about gay struggles, but being gay to enjoy the beat and atmosphere this track creates isn't one bit obligatory

Bronski forever

Never 😊

Somerville

I thought exactly the same - fabulous unique voice

How did you like my hometown?

he actually sing the song there :D

Lol! Bodyguarding for a gay band. Brilliant!

I thought it was the royal military police first off , I served as a ref cap in Germany . Brilliant footage

Amazing I thought the same bruvva! Who was that segeant? What a coincidence in thoughts 💭 cheers fella!

Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends.

agree

It was a game changer. Telling the brutal truth of the loneliness and fear of being LGBTQ+. We'd never heard anything like it.

It's not born it's acquired by choice according to experts.

It was inspired by the times, The 80's were horrible for gay people in UK (especially with Hiv virus spreading) The British press went in hard against gay people

Because it`s Germany.

This was in Germany? That would explain the void faces and lack of dancing.

american occupant in Germany? Great )) Please save God the Germany from you all

@@pokushai_bratok Up until 1994 US, French and British forces were in Germany. Up until 1989, in West Germany and Berlin. Look up recent history for why. The red caps in front of the stage look like British Royal Military Police. Russian forces were in East Germany.

I was just about one and a half years old at this time. Just fuck it, I still don't care if he's gay or not, nor do I care if anyone else is. It doesn't matter to me. But this song is hands down one of my all time favourites from the decade I was born in!

@@Geekolaus Here the fact that he's gay counts, because he's talking on a topic which regards (also) him

@@doci6139 yes, of course, to understand the message and the impact of this song it is important to know that he's gay and that this had a huge impact on his point of view.

Your comment is spot on. Yes the subject matter is important, yes his sexuality is relative and relevant to the lyrics. But we are also becoming far too focused on carving everything up for analysis and boxing everybody into categories. Some things - like a great beat, catchy melody and standout vocal - transcends everything else and can (and should) be enjoyed for what it is and not always what it means or represents. Ironically, if people stopped over analysing and incessantly differentiating themselves and each other, most of the issues that songs like this are about would simply disappear.

I was born 1974 too... i thougt the same!!! thx jimmy and bronskie beat !!never die!!! Greets from South Germany

Well, there are concerts and there are dance clubs - so where's the problem? It's for sure a good dance track but it also has a message to listen to.

I 'd there dancing with you. Looks so........ Dont know... Without a soul

Very sorry. You can get free counseling - you may have to go through some therapists to find one that clicks. I hope you do and I hope you live your beautiful life. Look outward not inward. Appreciate the things you see that are beautiful and meaningful, and look for things that make you smile. Choose that life.

....they're Germans! 😉

melanrz1 Take your pills and shut up...

+Michael User internet meanie!

Ahah, you made me laugh dude ! ^^

I wonder why mr. Usher is so interested in Bronski Beat...

Yes really, so strange

The song is beautiful & powerful, but it's the courage that gets me every time. It's not like he was singing about a time past when homophobia could get you killed--that violent homophobia was the actual environment he lived & sang in. He was singing about being gay at a time when being gay could get you killed. It took such courage, & he will forever be an icon because he put himself on the line like this.

@NuggetOfBlueGold I'm not talking about HIV. You do get that there's actually a whole wikipedia article entititled "History of violence against LGBT people in the United Kingdom", right? Homophobic attacks, including murders & actual bombing of a gay pub in London (I remember that too) are part of the history of the UK--the UK ranks far behind Canada, for example, in addressing this. But I can tell you don't actually care about facts, you're just a frightened uninformed dude spouting homophobic opinions, looking for attention from gay men. There's a phrase to describe people like you. Good luck with that.

Europa..

They're like the living dead...then again, Germans prefer to dance in straight lines 🔥

Ate some really

Maybe it's because there some military watching crowd ?!

Germany typical.Not easy for us to have fun.Other qualities.

Digital upscaling? But nevertheless it shure is great!

Yes - this was in Höxter at the river Weser, quite a rural conservative place even today

I'm pretty sure the vocals are the only live element... I have heard the album version of this song thousands of times.. Not a big deal, still a nice performance, but not 100% live..

the one Cool!

Excelente

lmaoo

yeah - and here comes Captain Haddock with his big.... (beard!) :-D

Jim Jim

I think that was the point....

😅

Música excelente com uma platéia apagada desgraçada!!!
