I sang this to my girlfriend in a cafe in Amsterdam in 2003. I'd taken her on a surprise holiday for her birthday. She thought we were simply going for a picnic on the coast an hour's drive from our home, but I had our suitcases in the car & we were heading to the ferry. The night before, in our hotel near the Rijksmuseum, I'd realised for the first time that she loved me like I loved her. That morning in the cafe, I sang to her then get down on one knee, at the same time she got down on one knee too. We both asked each other to spend the rest of our lives together, & everyone in the cafe clapped. I still sing it to her now, 20 years later, & I still mean every word of it. I love you, my darling Maria. You are my world now, then & always.🥰
Beautifully said Angela. True love stories never have endings. Congratulations to you both. May you and your girlfriend ( May be your wife now 😃) enjoy each and every second of your life together. Blessings and Light to you both. Krishna
@@stevencorsoe9575 In the northwest of England, we didn't care if the artist was straight, gay, old, young, black, white, blue or male/female, or whatever they went as. We just appreciated the great music in the 80s/90s that our ears were blessed with, and that we could dance too.
We listened to this in the 80's as young teenager. I was cool then. But listening back, So emotional. I just love the thought that this music is in my DNA. No wonder we raved after having this pumped into us. Thanks Mr Sommerville xx
This song means so much to me, me and my sister would listen to this on repeat as we ate fish and chips drinking pop, some people do not appreciate the power of beautiful music and its power! My sister passed away so every time I hear this song it means so much. Listen to the lyrics people and do not take anyone for granted !!
A fine song for such strong feelings. Mine are similarly strong and I understand.... beautiful isn't it. Just so much more than a song on lots of levels...
I am 54 yrs old, and I adored this music as a teen, I never even thought about contrast in sexuality, I just thought the music was a blast,. I didn't ever think that sexuality was an issue,... I was reared in
Such a happy and hopeful song to come out of that gloomy london new wave times. I was a teen, and the communards' music was so formative. As a mature woman in her 50s and still young at heart, of course, this song now reminds me of my dad, who's now passed on :) Also, Jimmy has the voice of an angel.
Yeah hed be my first example when explaining to someone how the voice of a singer is their instrument. Easy my first example. I really dearly hope I bump into him one day. That might well happen it has with quite a few people I have admired somehow...
Sends shivers. A work of beauty and brilliance. Noone is my world and I am noone's but it still makes me happy that such perfect love is achieved by some. That voice. That stunning keyboard playing.
Such a great underrated song...havent heard it in so many years...reminds me back to the time when i was young with my girl Susan.You will always be my world baby.Missing you.
Takes me back… damn the 80s where the best and the worst! Lol. Great music, bad music, nightclubs, drinking cider, pink shirts and shoulder pads…. Lol great times.
Incredible talent ! Wow! Can sing anything ! I was always totally impressed with Jimmies exceptional singing voice since my first discovery of his band Bronski Beat years ago! Sing anything do anything ,operas, plays and act etc...ya ! Love love!
Im just hearing this for the first time because the blonde lady playing the violin is mum to Pete who is a contestant on big brother 7 uk 👌 (im having a binge fest lol) He is really awesome! 😁👍
Richard Cole’s piano playing absolutely sublime
❤ just perfect
What a voice, thankyou jimmy ❤❤
Who’s listening in 2024 to this utter classic piece of beautiful brilliance?
Me - it is sublime❤
The rolling piano is timeless.
Moi, me !!!
I can remember it from the great era of pop, but am revisiting while reading Rev Richard Coles book ‘Fathomless Riches’
Yes and who thinks we need a 4K upgrade of this?

just come back from my local pub where we have been disusing the best songs. And this is one of the best!
What a classic Jimmy has a beautiful voice my mum loved his dancing!!!!!!
The Communards best song by far
Id say For A Friend. But this definitely comes very close. Especially the full length version.
I love Jimmy Somerville, he sings with so much passion.
The backing singers’ fabulous outfits alone show why the 80s rule.
The REv playing that beautiful intro !!!!!!!
Jimmy's voice is a musical instrument in itself!
What a Great song from the Communards you are my world the eighties are the best off all the decades Richard McGeechan ❤
This is simply a brilliant song perfectly sung by Jimmy ❤❤❤
That piano intro! Sends shivers...awesome.
Rev Richard Coles on the piano later to be on celebrity masterchef
Jimmy, I love your music since you began back in the early 80s. From an ardent fan in 🇮🇪 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊
A Classic over 30 years ,Jimmy Somerville rocks 🎹🎹🎹🎹
I was so lucky to have grown up in the 80s with great music like this, 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶
Me too 😁😁😁
Best decade ❤️
TOTALLY AGREE . . .!!
oh yesssssssssssss!!!!🤧👋
Same feeling here.
I'm wondering if, in 40 years from now, today's youngsters will get the same feeling when listening to today's music...
We listened to this in the 80's as young teenager. I was cool then. But listening back, So emotional.
I just love the thought that this music is in my DNA. No wonder we raved after having this pumped into us. Thanks Mr Sommerville xx
The Rev tinkling the ivories ❤
Two incredible musicians found each other and created this little bit of magic ❤
Fab! And great to dance to ❤️
What a voice
Still fresh after all these years.
I dedicate this to my darling boyfriend who really is my world 🥰
Absolute CLASS !!!

A fine song for such strong feelings. Mine are similarly strong and I understand.... beautiful isn't it. Just so much more than a song on lots of levels...
I lost my little brother last May. I know EXACTLY how you feel. Feel tightly hugged. Love and light from Germany.
O
I’m so sorry you miss your dearest sister but know she will be there to greet you when you go home. Sending love and light Albeit belatedly. X
I am 54 yrs old, and I adored this music as a teen, I never even thought about contrast in sexuality, I just thought the music was a blast,. I didn't ever think that sexuality was an issue,... I was reared in
I was reared in a house, that we were all loved, regardless of opinions, xx
And sexuality was never an issue, x
I am so proud that my parents brought me up to have an open mind, xx
I agree totally

Genuinely one of the best vocalists Britain has produced such a pure tone, superb
One word: Delightful!
La devo ascoltare spesso. Avevo 29 anni. E mi portava fortuna. E poi è meravigliosa.
Io non me la ricordavo, ho messo qualche pezzo dei Communards e risentendola mi è venuta la pelle d'oca. ❤️✌️😁
Drove up to Scotland with this on repeat with a guy I was smitten with. Fantastic song brings back good memories of the 80s x
Richard is a great musician and wit. All a perfect ensemble

That song is a booster
I love these guys
He looks like Kiefer Sutherland. Great and powerful voice too!
