    This features so brilliantly in the Everyone’s Talking About Jamie film, so much emotion, so moving

    I loved the musical onstage, but this is the song that brought me to tears in the movie. Bravo 👏🌈

    I just saw Everybody's talking about Jamie and this is the song that had me weeping. I lived through those years and it was my life as well as millions of others. We lost loved ones and were scared we would be next, so we partied like there was no tomorrow because for some of us that was true. For those of us who survived we carry the burden of remembering for those we lost, and reminding the children who follow us of the battles we fought for their freedom. As a young person, don't dismiss the old LGBTQ+ people. The old gay man in the wheelchair fought longer and harder and lost so much more than you can imagine. The woman tending her garden alone, she lost the love of her life that she met marching against anti-gay legislation and had everything taken from her on her partners death because she wasn't allowed to marry and the family swooped in and stole everything. The trans woman still fighting for recognition and acceptance in her 60's, she has endured more hardship, pain and sorrow than any human should have to endure. We fought for your right to walk down the street, to dance in heels, to kiss and to marry. Be happy, love who you want to love, and give a hug to the old gay and lesbians and trans men and women who made it possible.

    Utterly brilliant yet totally heartbreaking. The song captures my teenage years and early twenties . I still remember where I was when I heard Freddie had died and being numb with shock and sorrow. Dan this is the best song you ever wrote, a magnificent tribute to all those lost pretty peacocks.

      He wrote it with Holly Johnson, and it was Holly who sang it in the film.
      When the date got to 24th November 1991, I knew what was going to happen 💔

      People need to be reminded. As awesome as it is that this generation doesn't have to fight as hard as we did back then sometimes freedom is taken for granted at the expense of our lost peacocks.

    @ClassicDepravities Před 2 lety +35

    i was five when Freddie died. Too young to know that I was in his community, and that I'd lost someone who would mean a lot to me someday. I knew of AIDS, because what child didn't, but it was when i came out as trans that the full scale of what we lost hit me. an entire generation of LGBT people were just GONE. this song is something special. I've never heard a musical number that has moved me so profoundly as this.

    This was absolutely fantastic, I saw The Feeling by accident when I went to watch ELO at the Manchester arena U.K they were the support act, I didn't then really thought I had heard The Feeling before but when they came on I knew every word for every song, Would love to see them again .❤❤❤❤

    I used to get called Queenie in one of my first ever jobs due to my love of all things Queen. Which I still have to this very day. The line about Freddie Mercury gets me every time! To hear this song in Everybody's Talking About Jamie as well. A great film that really hits you in the feels.

    Let me tell ya how it used to go
    Freddie playing on the radio
    The Iron Lady couldn't stop the show
    We felt like we could fly
    Poisoned banter and a barbed remark
    Bette Davis doing Joan of Arc
    Dirty glamour dancing in the dark
    On days that wouldn't die
    When we felt like we could fly
    It was real love
    Look around and feel love
    Tearing up the floor
    Something we loved more
    More than life
    This was me
    We were children in the night
    Every star burned twice as bright
    We were tough and we could fight
    We held the line
    This was me
    Every sorrow had a song
    Every lost boy could belong
    We were young and never wrong
    And I was divine
    This was me
    This was me
    Every Friday we'd emerge reborn
    Keep on dancing till we saw the dawn
    Making history and breaking laws
    Oh God, how good that feels
    We were heroes in our heels
    This was me
    We were children in the night
    Every star burned twice as bright
    We were tough and we could fight
    We held the line
    This was me
    So adored and born again
    Just a smoking ten for ten
    I was beautiful back then
    Yes, I was divine
    Let me take you round the bars I knew
    The stars I knew
    The padded bras I knew
    The cobbled alleyways, the ways I knew
    The maze I knew
    The waifs and strays I knew
    I started singing to the way back when
    The wishing I could live it all again
    Now I pass it onto you
    We were dreamers, only just begun
    We were sinners playing in the sun
    Kept on partying till '91
    Until that fateful day
    We were peacocks in exotic herds
    Wouldn't listen to the warning words
    That's the problem with such pretty birds
    They always fly away
    Even Freddie couldn't stay
    This was me
    Were we foolish to believe?
    That a painted face can't grieve
    We were hopelessly naive
    Just out of time
    This was me
    Every heart is made to break
    Sometimes love's a big mistake
    Every weekend was a wake
    But weren't we divine?
    This was me

    Very good song and you guys still look great. This song sent me back to that same era and one particular performance by Queen which I was very lucky to see. They were on their Highlander soundtrack tour, and the single It's a Kind of Magic was the hit from the album that was being played on the radio everywhere. So it was an outdoor gig on the grounds of the castle, with the stage set up in front of a river that ran across the grounds. The Bangles opened for Queen and were tons of fun because it was their first time in Europe (as a very excited Susanna Hoffs told us) and they were thrilled to be there. Then came the real magic. It had been pissing down rain the whole day, which continued when Queen came onstage and began their set. Finally they played their new hit song and I kid you not, just as Freddie got to the words "It's a kind of magic..." the clouds parted, a rainbow came out and shone across the river and the wet grass.

      Unfortunately a lot of artists dumb down their sound just to ensure radio play. Ed Sheeran is one of the lucky ones who writes bland music but it still sells by the bucket load. This isn’t a great song it’s very bland which is a shame and not memorable.

      It's from a Musical, Dan Gillespie Sells wrote the music for Everyone is Talking About Jamie. This song takes me back to the 80s as I think that's what I get from watching the advert for the show. Even this video the music and background screams the late 80s. I Love It. But I've not seen Everyone is Talking About Jamie yet.
