This reminds me of the endless 1980s night clubs dancing. Especially as a student. The smell of the dry ice 'smoke', the green lasers, the feeling of fear going to chat up a girl, the alcohol, the cigarette smoke, the level of loud music, and the way the dancing crowd would move en masse. Such an amazing time, we just never realised it, we thought it would last for ever....
Every ERA has an end. But remember the good times and compair them to today's teenagers life, the gap is huge & not saying that because im 50 but because quality and spontaneity was the feeling of 80's & 90's. You woke up every morning with the feeling that something great is going to happen....
A very sad song. The rejection from his father. the love of his mother. Very atmospheric and a hard hitting message. Accept who you are, and accept who others are.
He was pretty much being a pervert on a straight guy at a pool, he was a sexual pervert. Why do people now always protect and feel sorry for the deviant rather than the victim
I'm 15 and I'm in love with this song. This masterpiece touches my soul. I used to listen to it when my dad was driving. This song is incredible , I feel lots of emotions when I listen to it , it reminds me my father who loves it too. Please , Never let this song die.
Agreed.... I'm 53 and this track reminds me of growing up and yes it does make me cry because of its beautiful melody and grace.... A forever track in my soul....
I remember that video! That's when I was growing up. A lot of the bands from the 80s were gay or had gay members. We all knew what some of the songs "meant... We actually challenged each other to REALLY listen to not just the beat, but the "message". back then, people knew who was gay and who was straight. We just didn't make a big deal out if it and all treated each other the same. I sure do miss those days.
I grew up in the 1970's and 80's in a small town in the Canadian prairies. I knew gay people, but no one could ever reveal that aspect of their life. I had an older brother who was autistic and everyone was so cruel to him, bullying him constantly. The one person who stook up for him was the principal of the elementary school. My parents knew the principal was gay, and he was allowed to be himself in our home. He could empathize with my brother. Neither was considered normal. Both were hated. Neither did anything to deserve it. Neither understood the hatred they faced. They felt it every day. The principal's partner died suddenly one day, and that poor man had to grieve in silence and without showing emotion. Eventually he left our town, never to return, his heart broken in half. This song always reminds me of him.
So sad. I met a Canadian bird n moved to Stoon, back home in London now. Sone fellas ain’t travelled out there tiny town there. That said, clubs n all sir now. Ain’t no Vegas but being gay looked more open. Small progress.
When this song came out there was no Internet or anything, I didnt know the video was a young guy on a train. But I remember listening to this song on my Sony Walkman, on the train to London, on my own for the first time to go and see if I coukd find any other gay people, go to a gay bar for the first time and discover myself. I was terrified but excited. Songs like this helped me believe, and cope. It was the beginning of my gay life and an amazing adventure. Hearing this song still takes me back to thst train journey to London, I even remember which seat I had. Now I feel my journey is coming to an end. And I'm so sad about it. I wish I could do it all again. Now living with hiv, fighting cancer, still afraid of being alone, I still love this song and the memories it evokes.
Nowadays there are many, many chances to still keep moving with life even having those diseases,, I met people also with both illness and are doing perfectly well .. I hope you also find that shinning light to help you and try be surrounded by good people.. Im sure there are still people who loves you out there :) .. Peace & Love ❤
I pray my Heavenly Father reveals himself to you and you meet the real Jesus Christ.I pray that he comforts you under his wings .psalm91.good news Bible.
Not gay, just a 35 year old straight white male. This song and especially the video are just amazing. It's an entire life story in a few minutes of sheer art.
This is a full on movie told in 5 minutes. The vocals, instrumentals and message are incredibly beautiful yet haunting. I will forever love this song, and yes, I’m an 80’s teen who remembers clearly when this track first came out. Much love to all who personally relate to this song ❤✌🏼
Born and Raised in England and now live in America the beat and video itself reminds me so much of home and how much I love my country. A feeling of Nostalgia :)
@@daighnugent4976 lol mate I'm glad I'm not the only one .I lived in East Dereham and Norwich and moved here at 22 in the 80s..Raised in a children's home the video of this song, the pictures,train ride and adventure outdoors has Britain all over it.
I am 56 so was a teenager when this song was released. I loved it then just because it’s a fabulous song but didn’t realise the real message behind it then. I do now. Jimmy and Bronski Beat were so brave and I applaud them xx
I'm not gay myself, but this song is so heartfelt and Jimmy singing is just lovely and the instrumentation is fantastic and very 80's. Jimmy sings a lovely falsetto although his pleasant (Glasgow accented) speaking voice is much deeper, practically a baritone.
@@41663 liking a gay tune then and now when gay or not makes no difference. This song has much deeper levels than than such simplistics and it's a grower and grower over decades!!
I love this dude, Jimmy Somerville !! First (obvious) gay video I remember on MTV. This channel saved me from my catholic bullocks. This smalltown boy ran as hard as she could. Love ya Jimmy, sweet dude.
.....Funny, society seems to always define courage as a masculine act......I could not imagine the courage it took to write and perform this song 40-plus years ago.
Such an important moment in time. Some of us made it. My partner died last year and was 75. He fought his fight and it was greater than mine but he/we was strong enough together. I believe things have now changed for the better. But what do I know?
I'm very sorry for your loss. But I know what you mean when you say "some of us made it" - you mean some of us survived the prejudice and discrimination, and - of course - the terrible illnesses that were claiming lots of lives in the '80s and '90s. Mark Ashton (R.I.P.) didn't survive, whilst Jonathan Blake - miraculously, it would seem - has 🙂
59 going on 20 the age I was when this came out, 39yrs later a grandfather and still dancing to it, albeit granddad style, happy days great times n tunes the 80s, thanks Jimmy .
I love how listening to this still brings out the same emotions in me as it did all those years ago. To all small-town boys and girls out there I send my ❤
Lyrics : You leave in the morning With everything you own In a little black case Alone on a platform The wind and the rain On a sad and lonely face Mother will never understand Why you had to leave But the answers you seek Will never be found at home The love that you need Will never be found at home Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Pushed around and kicked around Always a lonely boy You were the one That they'd talk about around town As they put you down And as hard as they would try They'd hurt to make you cry But you never cried to them Just to your soul No you never cried to them Just to your soul Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Cry, boy, cry You leave in the morning With everything you own In a little black case Alone on a platform The wind and the rain On a sad and lonely face Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
'Mother will never understand Why you had to leave But the answers you seek Will never be found at home ....' These lines, especially the last two are very poignant and powerful for me. A true masterpiece well done and well written that stands the test of time!
The first time I heard this song on the radio I went to my local record store and I asked the staff at the shop who sung it and I was told Bronski Beat. I asked if they had the 7” record and I was told no it’s out of stock, but we have one special version of the vinyl record left. I asked a special version, the staff member gave me a special 12” pressed vinyl record that is in the shape of the band name Bronski Beat.. I don’t know if it’s rare or worth anything, but I’ve still got it in my vinyl record collection
This Bronski beat song Small town boy is a Amazing wonderful song with lyrics that mean so much to me and all the Small town boys and girls all over the World 🌎 from a 59 years old Irish Smalltown boy ❤️
This Bronski beat song Small town boy is truly a masterpiece of music it means so much to all the Small town boys and girls all over the world like me a 60 years young Irishman Small town boy from Dublin 🇮🇪
Sou de 91, mas quando ouço essa música, eu viajo, parece que volto aos anos 80, sinto que em outra vida participei dessa década espetacular, não só com essa música mas como outras, a melhor década sem dúvida!
SOU DE 81, E VIAJO MAIS AINDA, NÃO EXISTE TECNOLOGIA QUE POSSA OFERECER UMA ÉPOCA ONDE A INTENSIDADE HUMANA ERA MAIOR QUE A INTENSIDADE MATERIALISTA. EU PREFIRO ESPERAR 1000 ANOS PARA NASCER EM UMA GERAÇÃO PARECIDA DO QUE NASCER AMANHÃ PARA CORRER ATRÁZ DE DINHEIRO.
So brave and bold making this amazing tune in a time when prejudice was still so rife. They helped pave the way for generations of small town boys/girls to come. Big respect and love.
Faço das suas palavras as minhas. Nasce no anos 70 era uma caretice só os corajoso se ousava fugir de casa aos 18 anos. Pai era militar dar pra ter uma ideia mundo que eu vivia 😅😅😅😅
what a song... both lyrics and melody - sad and uplifting at the same time - they invoke an emotion but also tell a story. and the video totally fits and is also amazingly well done - down to earth visual language helps one to identify with characters, and it tells a whole (back)story in under 5 minutes. sometimes it all just comes together.
Not many of my friends did listen to this back in the days. Later many have understood pretty nicely what they missed. The 1980's wheren't the easiest time to grow up.
This song that saw me leaving my small town and heading for the big city in the 80s - It was probably the most important song in my life for it still makes me very emotional - It was a call to arms for so many as it inspired them to become whoever they needed to be in a world that could be very cruel. Jimmy is the only member of Bronski Beat still alive as the other two band members are longer with us as both their lives were cut short through illness.
I really hope times have changed, I'd be distraught if i ever thought my son had to leave home just because he was gay. I know I don't have an issue with it at all. I really like this song but blimey does it make me sad.
memories, freedom, the music was awesome, staying out all night dancing until 3 am on Saturday, sometimes Friday too, meeting cute boys, dressing up in cute clothes, lived at home with my parents and i didnt have to worry about bills.
This song Small town boy means so much to me and all the other Small town boys and girls all around the World the lyrics and Jimmy Somervilles vocals are truly Amazing rip Steve Bronski
@@luckyhunter5291 The Guardian has an article 23 December 2021 stating he died in a Soho flat fire, but there is nothing else. I just found this and am trying to find further information, that will give any further attention to that.
80 and 90s were the best periods for music great singers great bands ...what eras🥰 so blessed to have witnessed both eras growing up 🙏 today's generation will never know what music is
This is a very unique song, music, lyrics, and instrumentation. The 1980's were the absolute BEST era for the music industry. **(Former Record Producer for Robert Stigwood Records,Inc.)**
So true that people will judge you however you are. I agree be yourself and if people don't like you its there loss, don't waste your time on ignorant people
I was raised in the same housing scheme as Jimmy Summerville (Ruchill, Glasgow) & this song reminds me of the struggle he went through being gay & I take my hat of to him. "Go on son"
I heard this when it was first released...my best friend was gay and we really loved each other...but I'm a girl, so that wasn't in our cards, and so when I listen to this, it reminds me of that special time and very unique relationship 💜
The most cruel people are the people who do not understand the other. I come from Bosnia and I am an Muslim Bosnian woman. For my part, everyone can be, whatever you want to be.
This was such an important song at the time and should never be forgotten. I play an acoustic guitar version at my own gigs and it's one of my favourites to perform.

The blow...
@coopie168 I heard it was off the charts in those times.
Every ERA has an end. But remember the good times and compair them to today's teenagers life, the gap is huge & not saying that because im 50 but because quality and spontaneity was the feeling of 80's & 90's. You woke up every morning with the feeling that something great is going to happen....
And strobe lights...
Incredible days! We were young!!
A very sad song. The rejection from his father. the love of his mother. Very atmospheric and a hard hitting message. Accept who you are, and accept who others are.
Brilliant song, brilliant video. 😢
Well said❤
Huge sin
the father gave him money so he loved him too
He was pretty much being a pervert on a straight guy at a pool, he was a sexual pervert. Why do people now always protect and feel sorry for the deviant rather than the victim
I'm 15 and I'm in love with this song. This masterpiece touches my soul. I used to listen to it when my dad was driving. This song is incredible , I feel lots of emotions when I listen to it , it reminds me my father who loves it too.
Please , Never let this song die.
When Jimmy says "You never cried to them , just to your soul"
I just wanna cry , I feel it
Its a classic ,
So much better than and dynamic (sounding) the gated reverb drum is insane
Driving late at night on th e highway with this blasting through the speakers , hair down , windows open and not a care in the world ❤
Μην υπερβαίνετε το όριο ταχύτητας και απολαύστε αυτή την υπέροχη μουσική!

Lyrics : You leave in the morning
With everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform
The wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face
Mother will never understand
Why you had to leave
But the answers you seek
Will never be found at home
The love that you need
Will never be found at home
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Pushed around and kicked around
Always a lonely boy
You were the one
That they'd talk about around town
As they put you down
And as hard as they would try
They'd hurt to make you cry
But you never cried to them
Just to your soul
No you never cried to them
Just to your soul
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Cry, boy, cry
You leave in the morning
With everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform
The wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
The music is always a call to arms babes xx
Excellent, thanks.
Thank you ❤

This song that saw me leaving my small town and heading for the big city in the 80s - It was probably the most important song in my life for it still makes me very emotional - It was a call to arms for so many as it inspired them to become whoever they needed to be in a world that could be very cruel. Jimmy is the only member of Bronski Beat still alive as the other two band members are longer with us as both their lives were cut short through illness.
is he gay
I really hope times have changed, I'd be distraught if i ever thought my son had to leave home just because he was gay. I know I don't have an issue with it at all. I really like this song but blimey does it make me sad.

I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
Moved out at 19 ! This song says it all! One of my 10 top favs forever!!!
Out at 18...paid my way ever since...my birthday is today...I'm 62.
memories, freedom, the music was awesome, staying out all night dancing until 3 am on Saturday, sometimes Friday too, meeting cute boys, dressing up in cute clothes, lived at home with my parents and i didnt have to worry about bills.
I so love this song! Awwwww I’m young again. We had amazing music back then!! This is Brilliant!! Love BB!
Very beautiful 80 s songs 😎✌🤟🎵🎵🎶🎶
love that voice, he doesn't need autotune, he sings and sounds just as good LIVE as in the studio
Diese Stimme war wirklich einzigartig😍
👍😀❤️🇩🇰
You should check out a live performance from 2017 (I think!), the dudes still got it!
Che bella canzone e che significato , ancora attuale
This song Small town boy means so much to me and all the other Small town boys and girls all around the World the lyrics and Jimmy Somervilles vocals are truly Amazing rip Steve Bronski
What about gays of the capitals? They also have probs to reveal
And rip Jimmy Somerville (the singer).
@@johnb.dambrosio2286 is he dead
@@luckyhunter5291 The Guardian has an article 23 December 2021 stating he died in a Soho flat fire, but there is nothing else. I just found this and am trying to find further information, that will give any further attention to that.
@@johnb.dambrosio2286 ok
What a voice
This song will be played in the next 40 years classic brings back alot of memory's from the 80s
Jimmy Sommerville a beautifull voice
80 and 90s were the best periods for music great singers great bands ...what eras🥰 so blessed to have witnessed both eras growing up 🙏 today's generation will never know what music is
Absolutely right, the 80s and 90s are the golden era of music, miss this years
I love this even tho I’m 17 and this is from the 80s but this is my type of music thank god I got my mothers music taste
Yes I like that granny 74 lov it ❤❤🥳
This is a very unique song, music, lyrics, and instrumentation. The 1980's were the absolute BEST era for the music industry. **(Former Record Producer for Robert Stigwood Records,Inc.)**
This song will always remind me of my mom she loved to dance and was so good 😢❤ R.I.P
One of the most iconic songs that will ever be known
Bit gay though
Absolutely ive jammed on it for years love the beat the vibe just love it.
Nice eyes amri
just flashed back in my youth, holy moly time flies!
Hell yeah 💣✌✌✌
The best Song...
I was 14 when this came out. So many good memories. The world was so much better back then.
Be YOU! People always love and hate either way! Be smart and carry on. Love is a strong motion ❤
So true that people will judge you however you are. I agree be yourself and if people don't like you its there loss, don't waste your time on ignorant people
I was raised in the same housing scheme as Jimmy Summerville (Ruchill, Glasgow) & this song reminds me of the struggle he went through being gay & I take my hat of to him. "Go on son"
Yess agree
I heard this when it was first released...my best friend was gay and we really loved each other...but I'm a girl, so that wasn't in our cards, and so when I listen to this, it reminds me of that special time and very unique relationship 💜
Great track. Maybe the best keyboard riff in pop history.
I've been on this earth since the release of this song past all the samples and remixes, I love them all
Credo la piu bella canzone che ho ascoltato nella mia vita !!! A 53 anni ancora mi da i brividi !!!
The most cruel people are the people who do not understand the other. I come from Bosnia and I am an Muslim Bosnian woman. For my part, everyone can be, whatever you want to be.
Your people have seen so much suffering and never ending hatred hope the Balkan people learn to forgive and move on with life
❤❤❤❤
The notes this guy can hit is incredible
A story of buggery and heartache. Genius. Wow.
تحفة لا تزال في القمة مع مرور الوقت ... الأغاني ألة للرجوع بالزمن إلى الماضي ... معجب من المغرب
Joderrrrr..... la música de los 80 es una belleza tantos temas buenísimos q no paro de contar sin duda la época más grande de la musica
I love the music. 👍🙋♀️♥️
Asi es amigo
Nasci nos anos 70 sou muito apaixonada pelo clássicas, curtindo essa música agora.
80 de muchos temazos pero 70 y 90 tmb fueron muy muy buenos
Literal, son temas muy relajantes para variar
This was such an important song at the time and should never be forgotten. I play an acoustic guitar version at my own gigs and it's one of my favourites to perform.
Como amo escutar Bronski Beat, volto no tempo com uma facilidade incrível. Temos mais banda como essa.
Il reclamo di un'identità allora non ancora accettata...sublime❤
🇧🇷
Unbelievably good track still after the thousandth listen. This is synth perfection.
Tantos hermosos recuerda con esta música la mejor❤recuerda a ver ganado una competencia de baile con ella es facunante transportarte a esa época
O, this one is gold❤ So beautiful and sad💔
You can feel his pain ... Awesome song
So haunting..what a voice and so many memories😍
Molto bella e commovente
Quando eu ouço essa música vem a década 80 em minha mente tempo bom
CHAPEAU.

Purely hypnotic gotta dance to it every time. Gotta just love it ...
So agree 💃
Amo muito essa música umas das melhores músicas que já ouvi nesta vida, me dá viajar
I have to play this loud... wakes up my soul!!!! Love it ❤💕💓
This blew me away when I first heard it in 1984.
Superb for the time
I heard it once said "Music is the soundtrack to your life"
Some tracks have more significance than others though...Ah memories.
