Always a favorite of mine, an amazing song!!! living through the 70's and 80's it was so surreal for me when I first heard it.20+ years later the song still gives me the same effects.Life is so beautiful and dark at the same time.Happy for the ones that are still with me and the ones that moved on,Never forget :) LOVE EVERYONE....

For those of us who came out in the early '90s, this video used to mesmerize crowds in every video bar...and it still does.

To me the gifts PSBs have given (kindness, humor, pride, tolerance gentleness, courage and not most important but quite importantly, infinite coolness) is, through their songs, that to a degree we can all become our own Pet Shop Boys regardless of gender, orientation, nationality or race. Indeed Pet Shop Boys around the world.

I need to go to a great party like the one in this great video!!!

The scary days.

I remember this song when I was living at Halsted and Cornelia in Chicago's Boystown.

People dying all the time. The man I shared an apartment with died 10 weeks after I moved in.

My hope is that someone has recorded the stories of those lost when we were considered nothing more than deviants.

@RoyalOakDude Hard to capture the hundreds and thousands of those lost.. One particular novel though, tells an amazing story. It's "Like People in History" by Felice Picano. Cheers.. Love and Love to all that left us at this time, and to all of us they left behind.

Someone said: "If you're not careful

You'll have nothing left and nothing to care for

In the nineteen-seventies"

Reminds me of my first love, Roger. He liked this song; we were living together when it came out. He also liked "To Speak Is A Sin," and we'd joke about growing old together, ordering drinks at the bar, clowning on youngsters & running out of things to say to each other. We broke up after 5 years. I saw him here and there in travels, and we each always thought we'd get over ourselves and find our way back to each other one day, but he died in 2005. The song means much more now.

@ManPuppyDotCom Beautiful that you have your memories.

This video reminds me of the days I first visited Greenwich Village in NYC (1990), where Tower Records used to be. The album that this song came from also provided me with a spiritual escape from depressing moment in my life. Thanks for uploading.
