2024 listening in New Zealand fond memories of working for the council in the 80’s in Salford UK with my work mate who loved this song , sadly passed away . Oh happy times
I'm a 52 year old ex sailing instructor. I was at university and bought every deacon blue album back in the day. I have two dignitys. A 1974 woody international fireball and a 25 ft yacht....this band was my early twenties life and wet wet wet. ...I'm English... Scottish music rocked back then.
having a really tough day, serious anxiety and the sun burning on my head, isolated working from home in this pandemic and turned this song on, it made me cry I dont know why but I feel better now. A song I always turn to when down. Thank you Deacon Blue and all the fantastic late 80s meaningful bands who produced such great music
I’m just rediscovering this band again. Just wow. Amazing. There was so much amazing music being made while I was growing up in the 80’s and 90’s we took much of it for granted. Quality
Loved them then, still love them. Im Aussie, saw them in London in 89. Theyre playing in Sydney this Friday. Can't wait. Their new albums are awesome too! Theyve still got it!
Dignity is about the treatment of working class people ( most of us). It is a wonderful song that has stood the test of time. I am and will remain a Deacon Blue fan always.However something doesn't sit right with the lyrics and Ricky Ross in person. Check out John Denny TV on You Tube with people asking for autographs. No eye contact, no engagement, very telling. Compare this on the same channel to Alison Moyet and Leo Sayer who are so kind to the fans, especially Leo Sayer who comes across so well. I thought Ricky Ross would be a nicer person than he appears to be. These clips of fans asking for autographs are quite illuminating.
I met Ricky last month in Hamburg and he came out to the foyer after the concert to meet each and every one of us who came to watch that night as well as sign autographs.
I did not know that the name of the group, devoted to it a lot of time searching. In the head sounded the soloist, melody for 30 years ... I found and am happy!
I actually have a guy who walks up my street, no idea about his circumstances or if his packed lunch is in a sunblest bag, but i chose to run after him and gave some money. He's a lovely guy. It costs anyone nothing to be nice :) xxx
You know, after ten or twenty years no one will even know who Taylor Swift is/was. Yet here we are reliving our youth to Deacon Blue. Thanks for the upload :D
Amen. I saw them live in the 80's and met them afterwards. Still have my signed album. This is possibly the greatest song nobody outside Scotland knows about.
56squadron ..here in Leeds we had Sunblessed bread (hence the bag)..... the lyrics, the songs, the band are world renowned and remembered. NOTE the monthly comments!
I once had the opportunity to see and hear them on Bremen, Germany, in a club called "Modernes". It was just great, the whole crowd was singing the songs, we all had a blast. And it is some 30 years ago and I still get gooesebumps when I remind meself of that concert. A hello mòr gu scotland!
After 30 years of dreaming and 20 of working, next year I will be buying my own twin engine plane. I'm going to call her 'Dignity'. Yes, I saved my money! :)

Best working class record ever!!!
Still sounds as fresh as the day it was released, hasn't dated one bit
It still amazes me that this band never got the international acclaim that they deserved. What a class act!
2023 love this song for ever 💙
I’m 56 now and still love this track as much as i always have ……. Love it

Well done 007
Nice one min.
I am a Norfolk girl and your words are so true. Scottish music rocked! Simple Minds, Deacon Blue...the list is endless.
Three decades on, it still sounds as amazing as I first time heard it, masterpiece!
Can’t stop playing it since I heard it on This Morning today. What a sound- epic epic epic
1987, is the year I hear this song. Today, I hear when I sad and fulled of courageus!
One of the best songs of the 80's and it still sounds ace in 2019
Yes...
and 2021...... and for many more years to come
and 2023! I'm still listening :)
Hey Guys
Listening to (and loving) this in my 2023 New Years Eve playlist
how can it be this many years have passed and this song still calls to us???
having a really tough day, serious anxiety and the sun burning on my head, isolated working from home in this pandemic and turned this song on, it made me cry I dont know why but I feel better now. A song I always turn to when down. Thank you Deacon Blue and all the fantastic late 80s meaningful bands who produced such great music

One of my all time favourite songs - so many poignant messages about life. I've just bought an old campervan and named her Dignity.

LONG LIVE THE DEACON! Still rocking this in 22!!!

Esta canción es maravillosa. Tiene algo, algo que me transforma, me traslada, me hace sentir plena.
Lo escuchas, lo escuchas y no te cansas
22 tenía cuando la sacaron...la oí por la radio y me enamoró. Los 80's... qué se puede decir que no se haya dicho antes... gran época.
Perfectly crafted song and lyrics. Still an absolute classic after all these years!
Yup, 30 years on & still a great tune !
This is by far my favourite version of this song, I don't feel the "re-record" had the same energy.
Esta música te lleva a lugares que solo nunca encontrarías
2024 this song never gets old ❤
This is true
Such a perfectly special song...
Después de los años y aún me encanta este sonido, y está increíble banda. Geniales
Que buenísima música se hacia en los Ochenta !!!!
Best song ever I need my own boat that’s my dream at 55yrs old dignity

Amo este tema desde 1987, Adrian desde Argentina...
What a beautiful song ❤

Maybe he's just naturally shy and not comfortable in crowds?
Give the man a break.
What a superb song!
Saw them live a number of times - great. This song has some special memories for me.
Me sorprende ésta canción. Está muy buena y fresca 👍
I did not know that the name of the group, devoted to it a lot of time searching. In the head sounded the soloist, melody for 30 years ... I found and am happy!
The genius of Deacon Blue!
2021 listening to Deacon Blue
Best British song of ever
They don't make music like these anymore.
#TheWonderful80s
I will never get tired of listening Scottish music.
Unos de mis temas favoritos
Don’t worry it was number one to us fans.
Amen.
te transporta!!! te da una sensación indescriptible!!!!
saludos desde el Paraguay ❤
I actually have a guy who walks up my street, no idea about his circumstances or if his packed lunch is in a sunblest bag, but i chose to run after him and gave some money. He's a lovely guy. It costs anyone nothing to be nice :) xxx
Still sounds great. Scottish legends.
First time hearing this. Music peaked with Blood On The Tracks. It's been on the slide ever since.
muy buenos recuerdos!!!!!
geweldige herrineringen aan mooie tijd
Schon 30 Jahre her.....aber dieses Lied ist vom Inhalt aktueller denn je : Wo bleibt die Würde??? Ich liebe es......
87 bring em back all day long
Que grandes los Deacon Blue
Great song and group.

56squadron don't worry, I am Dutch, and love this song since I first heard it in the 80's!
56squadron ..here in Leeds we had Sunblessed bread (hence the bag)..... the lyrics, the songs, the band are world renowned and remembered. NOTE the monthly comments!
What the internet was invented for. This.
Anyone born in the late 60's and 70's should have this in their collection.
I once had the opportunity to see and hear them on Bremen, Germany, in a club called "Modernes". It was just great, the whole crowd was singing the songs, we all had a blast. And it is some 30 years ago and I still get gooesebumps when I remind meself of that concert. A hello mòr gu scotland!
brazilian here. hope to be able to watch them live someday.
87'...wonderful!!!❤️🎸🌟🙃...happy dreams!!!🌍🌟🎶

You never know when you need a decent ladder during a promo shoot. Just in case, get them ladders out...
After 30 years of dreaming and 20 of working, next year I will be buying my own twin engine plane. I'm going to call her 'Dignity'.
