What an incredible voice. The range, the low end grunt, the extreme falsetto, the growl, the vibrato, all with such control. Easily has a place in the top 5.
and we gotta give props to band, producer, engineers. the arrangements, cutting together of instruments, melodies, rhythms is incredible. like when the big band synth cuts to one synth riff line, jimmy singing solo, "you and me together fighting for our love..." eerie haunting dynamite....
Jimmy Summerville has an incredible voice. His singing abilities are off the charts. Bronski Beat will always be the best of its time and beyond. Thank you Jimmy and Bronski Beat for the great music
I covered this at a very straight bar in Hollywood at Kareoke. At first when I finished the semi-stuned crowd was silent. Not I person applauded. Then I said back intio the mic, "This is when you clap." and then they erupted like I made a Super Bowl touchdown thingy:)!!!
Amazing performance, not just a brilliant recording. You can hear him singing through a clenched jaw at 2:07, by degrees a kind of combined rage and joy unleashes his full voice as he repeats the most powerful phrase in the song.
Yes had this when I was around 18. The people disliking it obviously didn't grow up in this music era .So glad I found it AGAIN really means a lot to me . Will get it AGAIN am 52 now ....never stopped liking this band ....introduced it to my son ...
If you first heard this in 1985, and you were 36 when you made the comment, you must have been born between 1981 and 1983 (you said 36, which could mean anything from "I turned 36 today", to "I'll be 37 tomorrow", and the comment says "1 year ago", which could mean "It was 1 year ago, today", or "It's almost 2 years old"), either way, you're saying you were only between 2 and 4 years old?
Yep. I think I was 15 or something like that. In what they used to call the gay ghetto back then. It was interesting to say the least. The gay ghetto in Midtown Atl.which is now an upscale but boring, compared to the underground ghetto days. Very underground. It was fun when I was able to get in Weekends at 16 yrs.old. Atl is happening, but don't think I'd live there again.
I've been a huge fan of Bronski Beat since I was 9 years old (I'm 37 now) imagine my excitement of hearing this song played in a Macy's Store while I was shopping! The first time I've heard a Bronski Beat song being played in a store!
Contempt in your eyes As I turn to kiss his lips Broken I lie All my feelings denied Blood on your fist Can you tell me why? You in your false securities Tear up my life Condemning me Name me an illness Call me a sin Never feel guilty Never give in Tell me why? You and me together Fighting for our love Can you tell me why?

Strange that this song plays for the first 6 Or 7 mins of an unknown american B movie 'avenging angel' 1985.....it plays over a montage of the sleazy street stuff and carrys on to introduce the villains as they go shooting up some witness in protection. Angel is the school girl by day/ hooker by night ...that goes back on the game to find these villains
Special memories of this song due to a wonderful DJ who used to play it for me at a disco in Streatham Ice Rink. Colin Peters RIP. I never forgot his warm, kind nature and the happiness he shared. 😊
We shouldn't make snap judgements on others, and sexual preference shouldn't matter. But wh n it does, tell me why? Oh, and "Avenging Angel"? I think the film is fun trash (unlike the regular trash, which is no fun to take out at all) . I love Colleen 🥰🤍!
Nordic Hebrew there is no such thing as god you fucking imbecile. If god hates gay people then why did he make them? He’s supposedly omnipotent and omniscient remember
One of the best albums of the 80’s.

From the best era for music ever. I'm 60 now and still listen to 80's New Wave.
This is one of the best opening tracks for an album ever! That falsetto and then the driving synths!
Yes!
Incredibly underrated band and record.
Yes.
But were they underrated?
@@andrewthornhill7042 indeed, they never were. This band and their records were huge
Underrated is the most overrated word on TH-cam.
I used to LOVE THIS SONG. ALWAYS PACKED THE DANCE FLOOR.. THIS AND TARZAN BOY BY BALTIMORA. The age of consent is one of the best albums of the 80's
Brilliant
Absolutely
Sadly those days are long gone. All we have are the memories.

One of the decisively up beat, with it acts of the early nineties. An incredible sound. Brilliant
80’s pop music at its finest!😍
What a big sound from the 80's danke danke danke

I still have this album ( vinyl) in 2023

No sane person could dislike a song like this.
Had this cassette ( others of course Esasure en ALL the Depeche Mode, Nitzer Ebb and various cassette singles back in the day )
I fell in love with his voice when I heard it in Avenging Angel back in 1985. I'm 36 now and still loving it. This and Smalltown Boy

Avenging Angel, yes I remember.
You and me together, fighting for our love. ❤
Jimmy is a legend in own right I would love to see him live

They play it occasionally at Nordstrom too!
Bronski beat thank you for all your songs made me feel better and happy during lock down dancing to your music made me feel good 😉

Steve is dead. I can't begin to express how much I loved the work. There aren't words.
Larry too in 2016.

This song was forever played in aerobics classes and cooler clubs in LA in the 80's!
that riff .wow it cuts thru todays mass production crap with ease
Nonsense nowadays literally has nothing on this. Why is a fvkn all time banger brah

Avenging Angel brought me here.....this song was before my time, but its a goodie!
I want to do my Stewie Gay club dance to this.
C est ce que l on appelle de la musique !!!
I love the way this song is used in the movie "Avenging Angel."
It suits the impending hit squad really well.
Favorite beats coming out,
Used to great effect in Avenging Angel (1985).
Today 35 years ago was relesead this amazing single
🎶❤🎶❤🎶❤🎶❤🎶
Brilliant and catchy New Wave tune. Love this song! Should’ve entered the Hot 100 as well and not just the Dance Charts.
here for Pride (2014) aka the movie?? the 80's had the best music man, you had everything and every style around
wow, genau das waren meine 80iger, so wie ich sie in Erinnerungen habe
Avenging Angel (1985) with Betsy Russell brought me here. Great song by a great group...
J'adoreeeeeeee❤
Jimmy was one of the greatest voices I've ever heard. Did they create an extra octave just for him?
Pls Tell Me Why This Track Is So Awesome
Fantastic
"Why"...are Bronski Beat still rock even in 2018??!!!!
Because it is GREAT music !
Contempt in your eyes
As I turn to kiss his lips
Broken I lie
All my feelings denied
Blood on your fist
Can you tell me why?
You in your false securities
Tear up my life
Condemning me
Name me an illness
Call me a sin
Never feel guilty
Never give in
Tell me why?
You and me together
Fighting for our love
Can you tell me why?

The night I lost my virginity Bronski Beats Why was playing on the stereo
Auteur-Compositeur : Brian Molko?!?
Ce titre a été composé par les 3 "originaux" de Bronski Beat si je ne m'abuse...Somerville-Bronski-Steinbachek...
Those were the days!
13:12
Exceptionnel !!!! Je kiff.... Le meilleur.... collector....
After all this time still rocks

When I hear this song it makes me think at the movie avenging angel
Great music
Amazing voice.
Very good!!
Very Sad News
We all love his music and songs .our condolences.
Excelente tema ..
Tell him why for god's sake
Hahahahahahahahahahaha.
Either it's a mystery or it's a rhetorical question..
We shouldn't make snap judgements on others, and sexual preference shouldn't matter. But wh n it does, tell me why? Oh, and "Avenging Angel"? I think the film is fun trash (unlike the regular trash, which is no fun to take out at all) . I love Colleen 🥰🤍!
(Answer; "Because I said so!") Now that he FINALLY knows why, perhaps we can all relax...
Tell me about it.
LO MEJOR DE ESA EPOCA......
