R.I.P. to the one who passed today. You made the 80’s even better. What days.. what days indeed.

[chocolateone]

I can remember being a young guy and hearing this song being so scared of it's true meaning. I couldn't deal with who I was but this song some how helped me understand my struggle in facing my truth.

[dobermandave]

I'm a straight guy but that song moved me big time, especially with the bless....

[hughsaunders]

Superb song! Great vocals and melody. Great refrain, i.e. run away, turn away, run away...Great synth parts. Sad, haunting, addictive as it tears at your heart. You don't need to be gay to feel what JS is feeling.an 80s masterpiece!

The best i have to confess, wow the lyrics, what a trip i never knew what the song was about, the song would be an example to the  young bullied today!

Perhaps the only 80s song that truly impressed me Ok together with Blue Monday extended.

[veemeeeee]

I have always loved this song - haunting for sure. Tonight I read the lyrics for the first time. No wonder. It's a masterpiece - a prayer - for the pain and courage it takes to sometimes go forward.
