This was played at my sisters funeral the other day. I will play this song with it hitting a little different from now on. Rest in peace my beautiful angel, Elizabeth. Forever 39 💙💜💚💛🧡❤️
I'm 40, and sitting in my rainy garden, in England. This song means a million forgotten memories from a long time ago now, knowing people who I can't remember the names of. I am sure your sister was the same...just making her way, and taking it all in...just like we all do. I have a sister, too. She's 39. My little sister. Emma. You have my love, and wishes. Make her happy, and proud as she watches you...which she is. Do what she shoulda did. X
This was in the charts when I met my wife at 21, she was 19. Got married 6 years later, first daughter 3 yrs after that and still happily married with two very grown up daughters, happy times, sigh. I hope anybody reading this is as fortunate as me.
Ah, Deacon Blue. This was really a 90s song - the last decade before all the angst. High school of course was the best and worst of times. We were all just kids (real gone) and these songs were the soundtrack of our lives. I moved on after a difficult adolescence, and went from strength to strength. Model looks, money, opportunities and most importantly a loving family. I didn't (sadly) get to know many people at school, and lost contact with them all. That said, I hope they are somewhere in the world, and safe and happy - especially the girl who looked like the blonde at 0:26. Super cute. Peace.
@@thegeop5906omg!!!!! I nearly forgot about them! Coming up to mid 50’s miss those days 🤷♀️big LOVE TO WHO EVER YOU ARE AND HOPE YOU ARE LIVING YOURE BEST LIFE, even though I know times are tough. Be strong don’t give up🤗🥰🌻
Lead singer (Ricky) and backup singer (Lorraine) have been married since 1990, which just makes me happy. You can see the energy between them, whole band really. Awesome track.
4 kids too, this was my girlfriend/best friend favourite ban. She was killed in 1991. I like to think she's listening with me 32 yrs later. Still miss her deeply everyday.
I remember going to Blackpool. And meeting a bunch of guys from Stirling, Scotland. I put Deacon blue wages day on the jukebox. All the Scottish kids started dancing with us. One of the greatest evenings I ever had. That was over 30 years ago. I don't know where those bunch of lads are now. I hope that still alive, married with wonderful kids. And enjoying life. Deacon blue was my favorite band back in the day.
Its these kind of comments that make me read the comments for songs o you tube. The beauty of music is the memories it brings when you hear a random old tune
Are you sure they were well on our top list in Stoke on Trent and thats for sure but having said that we were always the city for dancing first disco The Place first all nighter The Torch the first ever to play northern soul
Very well said…I often come back watching videos from the 80s with a bittersweet feeling. What makes it painful is the fact that music nowadays is mostly crap
Love at the heart of Deacon BLUE IS A LOVING MARRIED COUPLE . RICKY AND HIS WIFE Lorraine McIntosh . still happily married after all these years well done James
I literally spent 6 years trying to find this song when I heard the beginning of it on the radio but I had no clue at all except for the first 20 seconds: didn't knew the band, name, lyrics, anything. Then one day I heard just 2 seconds of the first part of the song on the radio and I knew that was the song that I spent so many years looking for and this time I could listen to it completely and get to know all about it. You guys can't imagine how happy I was when I finally found it...
Similar story for me with 'Life in a Northern Town'. I never knew the bands name until I heard it years later on the car radio and I pulled over to hear the DJ say it was by 'The Dream Academy'. Sometimes a song just hits a nerve and this song did it for me.
I found it because a Spanish Italian song siempre siempre sounds similar and sent it to my dad asking what song it sounded like he answered straight away deacon blue was happy
Just started driving taxis, my first day yesterday, tuned into heart 80s, and me and my first passenger had a good sing along to this while driving her home 👌🏻
Wowie they're finally coming to our shores ..South Africa next month and Im so super excited , our sons bought my hubs and I tickets to the concert ..we're finally going to belt 0ut all the mistaken lyrics and celebrating 30 yrs of marriage, Im his forever " Chocolate girl and he's my Friend called Bogie...( our surname Seboa)
This was my cousins favorite song aswell as dignity,she sadly passed away 3 weeks ago,im sure 1 of these songs will get played at her funeral,this ones for you gill,miss you loads
Yes. Deacon Blue are an excellent band and they sound just as good live in concert as they do on record. Their 1989 UK hit single 'Real Gone Kid' (which was written about fellow Scottish singer Maria McKee) is an undisputed 80s classic. I saw the full original line-up of the band at Newcastle City Hall as part of their 'Walking Back Home Tour' in 1999 and had a terrific night out. I even got to meet and talk with each band member after the show (including their sorely missed guitarist Graeme Kelling) and I'm glad to say that they were all very approachable. It was a brilliant night that I'll never forget. R.I.P Graeme Kelling (1957-2004)
@@jeffclements2254 Thanks. Yeah. I had a fantastic time that night, as the band always put on a really great show. I've also went to see Ricky do a solo accoustic gig with guitarist (and one time Deacon Blue band member) Mick Slaven at The Customs House, South Shields in 1998. That was a brilliant show too and Ricky was very witty throughout and often had us all in hysterics. He could've easily had a second career as a stand up comedian.
@@ChrisEdington-e3m True, but there have also been lots of other great Scottish bands too, such as Simple Minds, Big Country, Primal Scream, Hue And Cry, Danny Wilson, Texas, Wet Wet Wet and solo artists like former Ultravox frontman Midge Ure.

I'm back in the day, in the car listening to this on the cassette player with my husband, Gareth . happy times. We were together for 34 yrs until I lost him to cancer at 58 yrs old in 2020. You think you've got forever but you don't. This reminds me of you Gar. Miss you love......
There are a few bands that always pull me back and remind me im a working class kid who grew up in a working class family and thats why i always help and treat my collegues with dignity. Something a lot of people forget these days because of greed
*You're A Real Gone Kid.*.. That's what my friends used to call me . i was only 17 years old before i left toxteth , - on my lifes journey. Amazing Memories To Cherish. ❤️
He tenido la gran suerte de crecer escuchando a estos genios y demás grupos de la época, gracias a mis hermanos mayores.. Q por su puesto he seguido y lamentablemente no se ha vuelto a repetir con la música de hoy en dia...
@@nannerl6243 Ah yes....the Style Council. I was a big fan of the Jam back-in-the-day. Still am! Setting Sons was a stunning album.....with every song a winner. The Style Council were an interesting bunch. And 'Shout to the Top' was referencing the Miners strike in the mid 80's I think. It's a good tune. Thanks.
I went from 16 years to 26 years old in the 80s and thought I had heard every song from that decade. I mean I listened to EVERYTHING. Rock, Pop, New Wave, Alternative, Country, and R&B. I MEAN EVERYTHING, but somehow I had never heard this song. Then, about 5 or 6 years ago I was watching a movie and there was a scene where the characters went into the kitchen and there was a little clock radio on the counter playing this song. It caught my ear so I rewound the movie 3 or 4 times to listen and couldn't figure out what it was. So, I Shazam'd it and it has been one of my favorite songs ever since. I only wish I had heard it when it came out so I could have attached it to a memory.
@Lore Grimm Absolutely! Makin' a journey 2 the 80s is always worth a visit, even if u don't know what 2 Xpect. I'm sure most of those get pleased with it !!!
I love this Deacon Blue song Real gone Kid Scotland should be so proud of this Wonderful brilliant band Deacon Blue 💙 from a 61 years young Irishman fan from Dublin 🇮🇪☘️
When this came out, there was this girl I wanted more than anything. This track was played a lot in her house. We had a brief "thing" but it didnt last and nearly 40 years later I still think about her. Nowadays it's my guilty fav to play the drums along with.
What a great pop record from a talented group. Lorraine has the most gorgeous eyes and her energy comes across. Ricky has the writing talent. Modern pop hasn't got the same appeal. IMO. Hope they can carry on for many years. Their kids are grown up now I believe.
Ah yes. 106.3 NJ rock alternative. Thanks God for that radio station and that I'm a 80s child. This is lost gem , unbelievable, heard on U of O campus radio many years later... grateful the young 'ns are digging deeper for these old tracks for a old geezer (52!) Can time travel back ... brilliant, Pure Gold, kid
Its Jamie Davies I'm from the UK can you tell me again please that there's more than billions people all over the world that love living on their own and love having their own independence and love having their own space too just the same as me please reply back yes Deffo that's true please Devlin Tay mate.
A great (and very underrated) hit from my year of birth (1988). Music seemed so chill, deep and much greater back in the day. Wish I could go back in a time-machine and relive the decade of excess.
I just saw Ricky and Lorraine, on a show in January this year and they sing wonderfully the same as 32 years ago ... They are magnificent and it is one of my unforgettable songs from the 80's ... Thanks for the memories.
this was my best friend desy robinsons funeral song,been a year today my friend al never forget the precious memories bro you made a big impact on my life love u m8,Neil, Sarah and the kids xxxx
This is one of those tracks that gets better every time you hear it, i also think it resonates with people approaching retirement age who first heard it in their early 30's
I heard this song today on a Portuguese radio, I hadn't heard this song in over 20 years! OMG, another gem from the 80s, this is going straight to my playlist!
At 64 yrs old, I still sing this on karaoke, and still everyone dances 💃 🕺 to it, fabulous track, Ricky I'm going to say it, Lorraine is absolutely stunning, gorgeous eyes and fabulous voice, oh and you scrub up well lol 😆 😀 the most underrated band of the 80s, but for me love your music xx
CR I have learnt more about my Irish heritage ( The Rosses in the Donegal Gaeltacht) than from any other sources as I was born in Birmingham England in the few years before the Troubles really erupted hence the reason that I was told by my wonderful parents to lose my Irish accent and basically keep my head down to avoid the wrath of the English in Birmingham after the pub bombings where it was pretty dangerous to be known as Irish I don't think that I had any English friends in the whole of my school days as we were in the inner city of balsall heath and luckily it was an area of west Indians polish and Asians who were in the same boat with the days of No dogs no blacks and no Irish and my recollection is that we all stuck together Thanks for your posts

What an iconic song, nothing beats the 80s...who agrees ?
Was born 83 so i think 90s
The first part of the 90s was brilliant and britpop was fantastic, a blur fan myself lol
The 70s
80s were the Best
ESPECIALLY THE MUSIC
70s and the first half of the 90s were good but i agree with you the 80s were the best.
Is it just my impression, or was the 80s by far the best decade for Scottish music? There just seemed to be tons of great bands back then.
Not to forget BIG COUNTRY 😁
The Shamen

the were always in the shadow of simple minds
Brilliant band indeed,saw them "live" in Bradford about 20 years ago. It was a FANTASTIC gig.

Deacon Blue are the quintessence of Scottish indy music ,just love the Celtic vibes off this song
One of the most underrated bands I'm 58 and listened to them for years
Love this era a time where talent and music sold itself not like todays shit all about how you market the person regardless if they can sing or not
Some of it is okay. Then there's the crap they go crazy about. Like K-Pop and Megan The Stallion (However she spells her name.)
Finding these kick arse bands that still rock 20 years later is like finding gold . Timeless and so positive
Great song - a REAL band who play instruments, have great voices and you can actually understand what they are singing! 80s FOREVER!!

Its Jamie Davies how are you doing Aron Segar1988 mate?
Agreed. I've always loved this song. Reminds me of Christmas 1988 and The Hits Album 9 (which contained "Real Gone Kid").
The woman's voice is amazing
Lorriane, Ricky wife (the singer) they are still married today with 4 kids
Ally Morton i agree !
Cant fault the 80’s i loved that decade x
Yip, Lorraine McIntosh had and still has a great voice
@@captainjack616 😂 wtf
So say them that the 80's was 'bland'? Feck my boots lol
A great (and very underrated) hit from my year of birth (1988). Music seemed so chill, deep and much greater back in the day. Wish I could go back in a time-machine and relive the decade of excess.
Definitely had a crush on Lorraine as a kid. Her smile ❤❤
I just saw Ricky and Lorraine, on a show in January this year and they sing wonderfully the same as 32 years ago ... They are magnificent and it is one of my unforgettable songs from the 80's ... Thanks for the memories.
this was my best friend desy robinsons funeral song,been a year today my friend al never forget the precious memories bro you made a big impact on my life love u m8,Neil, Sarah and the kids xxxx
I think I have every album they made, I don't think there's a bad song on any of them, a really underated band!
This is one of those tracks that gets better every time you hear it, i also think it resonates with people approaching retirement age who first heard it in their early 30's
The Troubles in the 80's in Northern Ireland were terrible. Songs like this kept our spirits up.
You are right my friend. Greetings from Spain.
I believe in absolute certainty this is best played LOUD tremendous tune.
If you're here in 2023.. you're a legend.. what a song.. classics for life 🤟

Listening to this fantastic song from east Belfast Northern Ireland
Back in the day we were happy with a pocket full of change & a photo booth......
Seeing how many mates you could get in one, so happy back then !! 😎❤️
Lorraine & Ricky's voices always played off well against each other, her timing was impeccable.
I've grown up with this band, and it's as good today as back then. Love them 💕

My God ! The voices are pure. What a great song 🎧
One of my favourite songs ever! Saw them live a few years ago & they were absolutely brilliant😊
CR I have learnt more about my Irish heritage ( The Rosses in the Donegal Gaeltacht) than from any other sources as I was born in Birmingham England in the few years before the Troubles really erupted hence the reason that I was told by my wonderful parents to lose my Irish accent and basically keep my head down to avoid the wrath of the English in Birmingham after the pub bombings where it was pretty dangerous to be known as Irish
I don't think that I had any English friends in the whole of my school days as we were in the inner city of balsall heath and luckily it was an area of west Indians polish and Asians who were in the same boat with the days of
No dogs no blacks and no Irish and my recollection is that we all stuck together
Thanks for your posts
So much energy, brilliant just brilliant group .put all there heart n energy into this lengardry track luv it ❤
