Loved Kevin and Dexys since Young Soul Rebels. So happy about Madeline, she's amazing and brings a whole new dimension to the band. This is a perfect picture of a narcissist/empath relationship.
The man is authentic, true to his art, and devoted to a time and place he is not ashamed or embarassed to revisit and celebrate, and thankfully he is still out there...somewhere. Saw him on Jools 2013 doing a monologue/sketch while singing "Wiggle". It was cheesy and weird - a WTF! moment- and I loved every second.
It was a great time and place to be in, the Soul musical cult era. If there was one musical cult which went from strength to strength, through the 60's to the 80's it was Soul, through Dexy's Midnight Runners, Meri Wilson and the Sensations, James Brown and Chairman of the Board. The real trouble in the 60's and the 70's, was everything that went wrong, was blamed on the blacks, and Enoch Powell WOULD have been a good Prime Minister, IF he hadn't put his foot in it, doing his famous "rivers of blood" speech. The real trouble in this country, was people going on strike all the time, not burying dead bodies, and litter everywhere.
Saw this performed live many times and always very dramatic. Gripped the audience every time. Great band and you've got to love Madelaine Hyland (unless you are Kevin!).
He can't sing but I love the drama, the passion, the acting, the music and original lyrics.The more I watch it, the more addictive it becomes. Bravo! And come on Eileen remains one of my favourite songs of all time..
As a life long Dexys fan since '79 I have to admit I hated this song when I first heard it on Jools Holland & then again on the cd. But after seeing it live last month and now here in video it clicks & makes sense, and is now one of my favourites from the album. If you see the live show you can clearly see the whole album is a 'play' and that each song is an 'act' which all lead into one another. Genius as usual Sir Rowland, why has this man not been knighted yet??
Blessed to be born with melting moments vocal chords, and daring to be different giving us something special, pure, and surprising! The whole band is brilliant. Thanks - this is the best anti-pop love song eva!
This is reality and expressed brilliantly !!!! Served Kevin in 1984 in Brussels. Burnt pizza. He was not happy but I am so happy he is back and expressing himself so beautifully. Wow!
Kevin has always changed! This is magnificent theatre and great music - It will never be SFTYSR but get a grip, live in the present day! Still brilliant!
Everything about this video is superb! Great music, great concept, great acting and the filming was very well executed! The whole band look really good (as usual) and I think everyone involved should be really proud of their achievement! I keep coming back to watch this over and over again and it never loses the feel! :)
Whoah, i reckon that will help a lot of women get some pent-up rage out, from having to live with this twatish vibe of men. I've been there, but my wife helped me to see the light of my indulgent lack of commitment to dignity and vision of men protecting young girls instead of thinking we can cherry eat them (eargh shame) this programming causes incapability in men....traumatised vulnerable angry kids and youngsters and family split whilst leaving the weight of emotional maturity to her. Whilst men wind them up, gaslighting them, thinking we are so intelligent, far-sighted, cosmically free, and beyond the mundane. Only a courageous woman committed to her spiritual truth can over ride and step over this indulgence in men of thinking we should have everything....my wife is going to love this video.! such a great expressive reflection of so many relationships. we need to stand WITH ourselves and our women....and if its not right then go do the emotional work ...resist the fucker within...it causes lifetimes of pain to everyone
Brilliant video. It explains further Kevin's brilliant portrayal in the lyric of the complexity of human nature. The video takes the lyric in a slightly different direction: Kevin is less the potential misanthrope of the lyric, leaning towards the personality of a user. The lyric is so good it covers these differences despite its clarity.
I must admit, I wasn't overly impressed with the song itself on CD but this video is very good and adds a lot to the track itself. Great vibe, clothes, period and film-making. Glad it had some thought and cash pumped into it :)
There are not enough superlatives that can adequately describe just how perfect this song is.
This is ridiculously wonderful. The melody is catchy as hell, lyrics are poetic, and the video is blissful viewing.
This is songwriting taken to a higher level. A craftsman working at his peak
This is absolutely perfect, no x factor nor idol will ever achieve the quality of this.
love this song
Only Kevin can turn an argument into a song - genius.
That man is aging with grace and so does his music......
Take good care of him, one day he will be gone and then they will know what they have lost.
Loved Kevin and Dexys since Young Soul Rebels. So happy about Madeline, she's amazing and brings a whole new dimension to the band.

Me too xx
He's so original - avante garde musical pop theatre - about what an arsehold he is !!! Love you Dexy's.
Omg this is a masterpiece wow wow

itgetseasierlessitry great comment. He seems so devoted. The strong devoted rather

Rowland is as legit as they come
She got a wiggle on jools has stayed with me FOREVER @DEXYS 💚
This music video is so precious and unique
Most people could never improve on what Dexys has already done. But this is SO astonishingly good, I think it might be their best song yet!
One of the best music vids of all time at that
Well, I thought it was fantastic. I've only just discovered Dexys and to be honest, I'm loving it.
Saw this performed live many times and always very dramatic. Gripped the audience every time. Great band and you've got to love Madelaine Hyland (unless you are Kevin!).
Have you listened to her band? She has a band called The Amazing Devil. Their songs are terrific!
He can't sing but I love the drama, the passion, the acting, the music and original lyrics.The more I watch it, the more addictive it becomes. Bravo!
And come on Eileen remains one of my favourite songs of all time..
Listen to his cover of the Joni Mitchell song Both Sides Now.
No matter how many great songs Dexy puts out, I will always hear, "Eileen" each time I see Dexy.
So many people that fit this bill in this world. Impossible to fix them all in one lifetime.
Am actually shedding a cople of tears here...
Great song, great singers, great band.
I`m not sure we realize just how good this really is!
Wow soy la única fan de bolivia existente
Te amo Dexys midnight runners
One of their greatest songs.
What an artist. How great can you be?
ポップなのが素晴らしい‼️
Loved dexys since geno
another nice song

Love this❤
Class act, quality lasts! Not many decent bands left now, long may Dexys continue!!!
Two years later and I still haven`t heard anything to top this. He`s in his own league, this man. And yes, she`s terrific, too!
Not only is this ridiculously good, It`s sexy as all hell.
Holy shit. I haven't cried listening to another song since The Pogues' Fairytale in New York. I mean, snotty, blubbery sobbing.
soooooo good!!!!!!!!
bei den Dexys hat es sich gelohnt, über Jahrzehnte geduldig auf diese Platte zu warten ... allererste Sahne !!!
yep!:-) :-)
The man has been getting it done for nearly a half of a century, and I've been a huge fan for those years.
Love this
THIS IS AWESOME
dopo aver ascoltato molte volte questa canzone credo verrò a Liverpool a sentirvi dal vivo. Bravissimi entrambi , ma lei....lei , lei è charmant !
Blessed to be born with melting moments vocal chords, and daring to be different giving us something special, pure, and surprising! The whole band is brilliant. Thanks - this is the best anti-pop love song eva!
It's great to do weights at the gym, and if nobody is there, I break out into a dance!
Julie McNeill Dancing around all the time. A bit loose in the head me. Dont Stand me down is the best ever album!

Just awesome, as ever
I second that emotion.
a magnificent Duet, love this 💖💖💖
Madeleine! QUEEN! she has a band! Her band is called The Amazing Devil! They are incredible! Love seeing her other works ❤❤❤
Qué bueno saber de Kevin y los Dexys otra vez. Gran disco en el 2012.
This song goes well with tea and biscuits on a rainy day.
The hairs have just stood up on the back of my neck. Dexys done it again outstanding. Ade the builder
Every time this guy does something brilliant - except for one time - no one gives a sh-… a great artist.
That man is a genius
Kevin has always changed! This is magnificent theatre and great music - It will never be SFTYSR but get a grip, live in the present day! Still brilliant!
Great song and performance!
Brilliant!
The album just gets better with each listen.....
This is Just Brilliant.
dexys are still the best
Cant wait to see the guys at the Olympia for the Dublin gig.....welcome home Kevin.
The fire still burns bright.
A great vocalist and more should have been seen of him!
First time of hearing/seeing new Dexys! Great to see the muse back in Kevin, the unabashed genius that he is ...Long Live Sir Rowland!!!
Pure class
Terrific!
It's like a book written in a song
Utterly wonderful and I met Rowlands once at a Primal Scream after-party; funny, erudite and warm. Brilliant record and the album remains amazing :)
Everything about this video is superb! Great music, great concept, great acting and the filming was very well executed! The whole band look really good (as usual) and I think everyone involved should be really proud of their achievement! I keep coming back to watch this over and over again and it never loses the feel! :)

The number one man.
Superb musical theatre. As good in its own way and a heir to some of Meatloafs great and passionate guy-girl duets...
Style icon on top of his brilliant musical talent love his clothes!!

Cooper Hilinsky hi my name bogia I want a women friend and dhis is my WhatsApp number 9799783022
I was very confused when I watched this yesterday and last night I had the most lucid and vicious nightmares. I don't think it's a coincidence....
As great as ever!
HUGE. Love love love this .
Love It, We Done Kevin. Back on top form.
Great Clip. Both of you are in cape.
Top song and video, oh yeaaa.
Kevin!! Legend!!
