It should be an easy one. It sounds very mid '80s. Classic euro 'umba-bumba" bass line, a catchy synth riff (that could fit in any Depeche Mode song of that period; maybe a bit poppier), and all I can remember about the lyrics (sung by a woman) is something like: "run away, run away, run away, run away..." (could be "fly away" too). Please help.

Not Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat??? That'd be too easy..

It probably is that one. I've heard it many times and I know it was a hit but none of the google results I got were right. Thanks.

It must be Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat....and that's Jimmy Somerville singing.

Wow I was positive I was a woman. Nice voice though.

Yeah, I had my suspicions about you too.

??? Oh, I meant it was a woman. Ha ha. As for myself, I'm not sure anymore.

Jose Gonzalez does an excellent cover of this track.

André Herman Düne's version is far superior.

five years pass...

OK yesterday I heard this song... almost a ripoff of Smalltown Boy. Synthy, same chords and high pitch male vocals. the beat was softer though and the tempo was lower. I'm pretty sure it's recent. A year or two old at most. Any help?
