this gorgeous man takes a huge leap and moves away to new Orleans and eventually comes up with his masterpiece of a debut album. and what a album it is. every single song is fantastic and fantastically written. I've been a fan of Him since early 2000's and as a fan I am incredibly proud of him and the lovely person he is.. absolutely love the video ..and such a gorgeous song xxx
This song get more amazing everytime I listen to this. When I first listened to this song, it came out at the time I became HIV Poz. This song helped me through the hardest times. Jake Shears you are my gay beacon of light. Please keep putting out good music that guys like me can continue to feel motivated to live! Life is amazing you help me see it’s worth it everyday. Thanks Jake 🥰🥰
Okay, saw him 11/2/18. Didn't think it was possible, but I admire him even more than I did before. If you get the chance to see him live it will be a highlight of your life!!
I feel like this was written by someone with BPD, it makes sense to me anyway lol amazing lyrics, brought me to tears in the end with the line “nothing kills you softly like yourself” very powerful and the realisation afterwards and the freedom in knowing you have everything you need, even if you are a bit barmy hahaha love it!!
I love your solo work, you have become all you could be be, and in all your handsome glory, all since the lovely, seedy clubs in NY, back in the day man. Still must say, can't help but miss trying to get your attention in a crouded bar! You always were the front man, but it's what we love. Thanks again, and always xx Glad to see you back in proper, thanks for the music, thanks for the memories, xx
Love it! Honestly I felt like I was having a religious experience seeing you perform this in Boston last night; I've been going through some heart break and this song really spoke to me
When this video opened I got that 'dissipated decadence is doom' mood that featured strongly in all of LaChapelle's videos for Elton, I can totally imagine Elton's voice just one register lower for the entire song. Then the banjos started and it got back to the light campy Jake Shears I know and love.
He’s so good, he really needs nothing but the best songwriting backing him. If only there was a band of absolute musical geniuses somewhere already formed that you could just add Jake to...
This is my favorite song on the album and every time I listen I visualize you theatrically performing to it and dance around. Now comes this video and it includes images I visualized and exceeded them. Absolutely stunning, NOLA! Only Jake Shears can make a vintage polyester suit look hot :D
The lyrics Sometimes I feel like I’m a stranger to myself Walk past a mirror and to think I’m someone else Not sure just who I am without you anymore But that’s alright, still ain’t opened every door Stuck in your fishbowl where I swam so aimlessly One streamlined vision with a goldfish memory One day you threw me back and found another kind But that’s alright, there’s an ocean in my mind I got everything I’ll ever need (Ah) Couldn’t find the answer when I lost you to the breeze Why keep lookin' for your affection? Love’s inside of me I’ve got everything I’ll ever need I sleep with pillows piled around me like a cloud (me like a could) Pretending that they’re you has never made me proud Maybe it’s just a phase I fold my hands and pray for better days These things I see when I sit staring at the walls (staring at the walls) I’m watching epic costume drama scenes unfold Maybe I’ve lost my mind There’s no black or white, gradations undefined Why’s the light so bright when love is blind? I got everything I’ll ever need (Ah) Couldn’t find the answer when I lost you to the breeze Why keep waitin' for you endlessly? Love’s inside of me I’ve got everything I’ll ever need I pronounce the breaking of the spell 'Cause nothing gets you down Nothing kills you softly like yourself I got everything I’ll ever need (Ah) Couldn’t find the answer when I lost you to the breeze Why keep lookin' for you affection? Love’s inside of me I’ve got everything I’ll ever need I sleep with pillows piled around me like a cloud
Great song and the video, Jake is perfect performancer. Happy he is doing music, looking so good :-) and happy to have his solo album on vinyl and signed CD too. Thank you, Jake for your work !!
i listen and listen and listen all times your album who is amazing! beautiful and deep songs who is the reflect of my own spirit Thank you Jake for your work and i wait always a date for your tour in France (remember you how your shows in Paris with Scissor sisters were so cool) kisses sébastien
I have always been inspired by Jake Shears. He is so apologetically himself, so adorable, so amazingly talented and such a sexy devil. I just totally adore him and all that he inspires in me ! xx
Jake! Marry me! My Husband is okay with it! lol Actually, we met Jake twice here in San Francisco. Once at The Castro Theatre seeing Sandra Bernhard and again at the Gala Opening of Tales of the City: The Musical. REALLY nice guy. Had a good 5 minute chat with him at the Castro Theatre and he'd just been writing songs for the "Tales" Musical. He signed my Scissor Sisters T-shirt and gave us big, friendly hugs. Love this guy. Best of luck with the new CD. It's cool as hell! Cheers!
Truly a beautiful voice from an equally handsome man. If by the off chance that this comment is read by anyone, I'm having trouble coming out to my family. Not that I won't be accepted but because I feel afraid too say it out loud to them, could really do with some advise.
I'm not understanding why such a beautiful song is not getting more notice???
Cause people don’t appreciate good music anymore
Sign O' The Times!
Me too ....
exactly what i am thinking of too
The music he does is very 70s so that's why....however is very appreciated around the world
The most underrated songwriter of this century . A lot of elton bowie and pinkfloid in his art ...such a class man
Jake Shears is ageing like a damn fine wine....
This man gets better looking every day.
He ages like fine wine
this gorgeous man takes a huge leap and moves away to new Orleans and eventually comes up with his masterpiece of a debut album. and what a album it is. every single song is fantastic and fantastically written.

Beautiful song and video for sure. I love the ending.
Spectacular. That is all there is to say.
This song get more amazing everytime I listen to this. When I first listened to this song, it came out at the time I became HIV Poz. This song helped me through the hardest times. Jake Shears you are my gay beacon of light. Please keep putting out good music that guys like me can continue to feel motivated to live! Life is amazing you help me see it’s worth it everyday. Thanks Jake 🥰🥰
Не переживай. Это не приговор... Живи и не думай об этом.. Пей терапию и больше позитива💋🙏🤗
This is great, Jake. You moved me. I need the return of Scissor Sisters too!!!!
Words can't express how much I love this song. And the video is beautiful. And best of all in 48 hours I will be seeing Jake live!
Okay, saw him 11/2/18. Didn't think it was possible, but I admire him even more than I did before. If you get the chance to see him live it will be a highlight of your life!!
My wife went for a pizza with him and Mr Hudson after his gig in Liverpool last August... pure chance hanging outside the stage door lol
LOVE jake
That lush 70s pop arrangement is EVERYTHING!
Love Jakes songs . You are going to be a legend...
Two years in a row this is the first song I've ever listened in the start of the years!
Lots of love to Jake Shears and his brilliant, resilient self!
Absolutely fantastic video. Love the final part, with Jake running towards his freedom and tranquility. Probably his biggest solo song.
Love to dearest Jake forever!!!!
And here , with this song is confirmed his delightful greatness!!! 💞💞🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋
congratulations on another brilliant release. reminds me of land of a thousand words

One of the best tracks ive ever heard in my life .... wow aint enough
He's goddamn adorable and it's awesome seeing him do what he loves.
This is wonderful.
Edit: So long Kevin. RIP brother.
Blimey! Anna Matronix on the piano hasn't half aged!
This man totally does it for me 😍
He gets better looking with every public showing. So proud of you Jake.
I've always wanted to see him live. He's one of my favorite singers and performers.
I love your solo work, you have become all you could be be, and in all your handsome glory, all since the lovely, seedy clubs in NY, back in the day man. Still must say, can't help but miss trying to get your attention in a crouded bar! You always were the front man, but it's what we love. Thanks again, and always xx Glad to see you back in proper, thanks for the music, thanks for the memories, xx
Plus, just showed my age, not as discreet as I'd care to be, but then again, discretion never got anyone a fun time out|
I love everything about this song. One of my favourite songs of 2018. My favourite from the album , for damn sure ❤️
I love this song, but the whole album is so bloody brilliant I couldn't pick one to be a favorite!
This just changed my life.
I'm picking up some Beatles and ELO in there. Awesome!
Love it! Honestly I felt like I was having a religious experience seeing you perform this in Boston last night; I've been going through some heart break and this song really spoke to me
Waow! Epic instant classic! Almost makes me want to get heart broken again! Almost.
Beautiful, beautiful song and great video, thanks Jake and all the best for your album

Strong ELO vibes, which is great
Very true. I missed that until I read your comment.
Beautiful song❤
And he’s gosh darn done it again, words will never be able to express how amazing you are
This is my favorite song on the album and every time I listen I visualize you theatrically performing to it and dance around. Now comes this video and it includes images I visualized and exceeded them. Absolutely stunning, NOLA! Only Jake Shears can make a vintage polyester suit look hot :D
Won't lie, this song gets the tears welling up in my eyes every time...
Great music. One handsome dude !
Alan meyer from Louisville? Lol
@@aaronmorgan8275 Nope. Sorry Aaron. I live in Los Angeles.
The lyrics
Sometimes I feel like I’m a stranger to myself
Walk past a mirror and to think I’m someone else
Not sure just who I am without you anymore
But that’s alright, still ain’t opened every door
Stuck in your fishbowl where I swam so aimlessly
One streamlined vision with a goldfish memory
One day you threw me back and found another kind
But that’s alright, there’s an ocean in my mind
I got everything I’ll ever need (Ah)
Couldn’t find the answer when I lost you to the breeze
Why keep lookin' for your affection?
Love’s inside of me
I’ve got everything I’ll ever need
I sleep with pillows piled around me like a cloud (me like a could)
Pretending that they’re you has never made me proud
Maybe it’s just a phase
I fold my hands and pray for better days
These things I see when I sit staring at the walls (staring at the walls)
I’m watching epic costume drama scenes unfold
Maybe I’ve lost my mind
There’s no black or white, gradations undefined
Why’s the light so bright when love is blind?
I got everything I’ll ever need (Ah)
Couldn’t find the answer when I lost you to the breeze
Why keep waitin' for you endlessly?
Love’s inside of me
I’ve got everything I’ll ever need
I pronounce the breaking of the spell
'Cause nothing gets you down
Nothing kills you softly like yourself
I got everything I’ll ever need (Ah)
Couldn’t find the answer when I lost you to the breeze
Why keep lookin' for you affection?
Love’s inside of me
I’ve got everything I’ll ever need
I sleep with pillows piled around me like a cloud
Thanks!!
Love this song❤❤

You rock Dude!
Just awesome! Great music and, well, handsome too ^_^
Loved it! Thank you!
Keep doing you Jake, this is a fabulous song!
Mr Shears, you should move to Hollywood right away so that you can be a star on Broadway!
Brilliant. Love the 70s vibe and melody. Something music now is sadly lacking
beautiful as always ^^
Wooow such a wonderful video for one of my favorite songs from this album, just beautiful
This is so theatrical, sound's like an opera rock number
love your voice so much！
I am starting to think Jake Sheers might be this generations George Michael, he is that consistent.
Jake's albums are always high quality, can't wait for his 3rd when it happens!
I have always been inspired by Jake Shears. He is so apologetically himself, so adorable, so amazingly talented and such a sexy devil. I just totally adore him and all that he inspires in me ! xx
I love this song, cheers from indonesia
Jake! Marry me! My Husband is okay with it! lol

Looking forward to seeing Jake when he tours with Kylie in Australia.

How did I not know that the hottest man ever went solo?
🗣🗣💕🔥
😍😍😍😍
The song is to good to become a hit
He is so fucking dramatic, I love it.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Epic
0:00-1:37 absolutely stunning.
It's like Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody mixed with David Bowie's Life On Mars?
♥️
Good, we've got an Elton Mercury for the 21st century 🤗
Halloween gift 💔
Reminds me of Bob Ezrin produced ballads like Elton John, Alice Cooper and Kiss.
looks like music Hopelessly Devoted To You By singer olivia newtom jhon
Hi Unicorn 🦄
this could be a duet with John Grant
Still the best Scissors
Sounds better at 1.25 playback speed.
Getting some David Bowie from this
like queen? cool
coffee and muffin sometime ? :) x
Jacke Shears is Fredy Mercury
😍
But Iberia,Ohio would be hella lot cheaper with the same results!!!
Looks like Ricky Martin singing Lovin' You by Lovin Spoonful.
hamdsome...
Something like Elton...
