This song deserves more love than it's gotten. I think the timing is unfortunate because it was released right in the middle of the 90's when everybody else was riding the tailcoats of the grunge movement and this was an original sounding song.
@@patrickmaruniak5987 and if I had said that Don't you forget about me is their best song, you might have said that another song of the band was their best song...
not everyone can appreciate the diamonds! and...in this case we are lucky i guess! ;-) ps. Thanks the SM! ...this song fulfill your whole hungry for quality music soul...up to the top... ...-every time!
I bought the cd good news from..after hearing this song on the radio , this and hupnotized were high rotation ..these were hits the likes simple minds were putting out in the 80s style but nobody was listening..I was amazed by the songs quality ..I never thought the simples would make a come back with such strong outing
It seems incredible to me that this group or band has not been recognized for what they are, ONE OF THE BEST OF THEIR TIME. I love this song and In The City of Light seems MAJESTIC UNSURPASSED MAGICAL
When I was just a kid back in 95' yet to hit my teens, this was simply another song on the radio. It's only as an adult who's listened to plenty of treasure and trash since, that I realise how incredible it truly is.
U2 best albums were with Brian Eno. Since the split, U2 have been on a downward spiral. It says a lot that U2 have to keep on recycling Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby, both Eno's albums
the best is joshua tree of course,and unforgettable fire also with eno- not achtung baby..this band is call simple minds-don`t you forget about it..! 😜
I remember recording this off the radio on my cassette player. It's been one of those songs I remember, forget about, remember again, then forget about again...always have a hard time remembering the name and artist, then out of nowhere it comes to me. This is one of those times. Chooooon.
It seriously does. This is one of my all time fave songs. It's spectacularly composed, fast and fresh. Amazing track the best by Simple Minds, in my opinion. The full version non radio edit is, of course, better.
Una grandissima canzone cantata e interpretata da uno dei migliori cantanti del panorama mondiale : Jim Kerr !!!! I Simple Minds sono stati grandissimi. E Charlie Burchill come chitarrista è un top !!!
Buenos Aires, 1995. Con este tema abrieron en el estadio Obras aquella noche magica. Dos noches seguidas de esta mitica banda. Larga vida a los Simple Minds.
This was one of those great songs I had forgotten about. I listened to every one of their albums from the 80's until the mid 90's until I found it again! This is cruising music!!!
I am rediscovering their music again for the first time in over 25 years. I'd forgotten how good they were!! "All The Things She Said","Book Of Brilliant Things", and "Glittering Prize" are among my favorites ofrom theirs.
Hate to break the news but The Edge’s whole guitar sound was very much influenced by Charlie Burchill’s reverb and echo drenched licks from around 81/82 that would become standard on U2 albums from Unforgettable Fire onwards. U2 went on t,be a bigger band but there is no doubt they owe a debt of gratitude to Simple minds.
You are WRONG!!!!SIMPLE MINDS are the group that U2 always strived to be. SM has 40 years of hits. U2 was only relevant from 79 to 87. End of discussion. Thx.
Fantastic band! Saw them at the Ashton Court Park free festival in Bristol early 2000's. Twas a warm clear night..amazing atmosphere! One of the best live bands I've seen. I play this song more than any other I have! Travelling song in the car..you bet!
This track takes you on a fantastic journey with its twists and turns. Its one of my favourite simple minds songs. So well written and produced. Unforgettable ❤
My Dad died in 2004 and this album became very special to me at that time. It also became the music I drove to because the tape got stuck in the cassette player!
The wall of sound, I'm loving every bit of it.
Yep
One of the best bands ever
Yess
ENERGETIC VOCALS AND GUITARS They are still making killer music 40 years later. ❤
One of the best songs ever written! Take me back to 1995!!!
One of my absolute favourites from Charlie and Jim
This group is a legeng. Belfast child, dolphins, alive ans kicking, sanctify yourself, she's the river.... So much masterpiece...
When i was at 10th' grade this was a hit on MTV
This song deserves more love than it's gotten. I think the timing is unfortunate because it was released right in the middle of the 90's when everybody else was riding the tailcoats of the grunge movement and this was an original sounding song.
You and me both
I thought it was a lot better in '95 than I do now. But it's certainly better than anything they've released since then...
This song was on MTV all the time when it came out.
This band deserves more love than it's gotten.
It does ynwa
I don't know how this didn't get to Number One. Stunning.
best Simple Minds song ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually it's not. Don't You Forget About Me is their best song.
@@patrickmaruniak5987 speak for yourself
@@patrickmaruniak5987 and if I had said that Don't you forget about me is their best song, you might have said that another song of the band was their best song...
Love this song
Love that CRASH BOOM BANG !!!
Layering of sounds in this song is mesmerizing.
What a collective group of artists, and Charlie Burchill on guitar, you guys are an inspiration in the souless world we live in
One of their most under-rated songs
i think the same but is great song like if you are listening in 2017
not everyone can appreciate the diamonds!
and...in this case we are lucky i guess! ;-)
ps. Thanks the SM!
...this song fulfill your whole hungry for quality music soul...up to the top...
...-every time!
100%
you are perfectly right.
Indeed
When Music was MUSIC ❤❤❤
word
Can someone appreciate Charlie’s guitar mastery. That and Jim’s AMAZING voice... too much to handle
I just can't get enough of his guitarwork! The melody and tone he produces carries each song to a higher level!
I bought the cd good news from..after hearing this song on the radio , this and hupnotized were high rotation ..these were hits the likes simple minds were putting out in the 80s style but nobody was listening..I was amazed by the songs quality ..I never thought the simples would make a come back with such strong outing

Hidden gem, always loved simple minds , very u2 sounding, but top tune
Amazing!!!! I saw this guys LIVE!!!! They rule!!!
También Yo, precísamente en la gira de ese disco
Take me back to the 90s, and where that God's impulse of creation got lost after those years !!! Where ?
Such a great written song. So many classic songs Simple Minds have given us. Fantastic band.👍

Ppp
Ppppp
My favourite band, what a song. Cant wait for Glasgow and Verona next year.
Anyone else in 2020 rocking to the core with this masterpiece?
I remember when this song was released in 1995. I was in college back then. I used to crank up this song & cruise when I heard it on the radio!
2021 👍🏻
2022
This album was absolutely amazing!!!!
Me encanta simple mind!
When I was just a kid back in 95' yet to hit my teens, this was simply another song on the radio.

Thx! Was a grate gig on lakelive switzerland we love your Music hope too See you soon
a decade after Don't You Forget About Me and delivering another epic rock track. Viva Simple Minds!
The best U2 album that U2 never made.
I mean that in the best way.
U2 best albums were with Brian Eno. Since the split, U2 have been on a downward spiral. It says a lot that U2 have to keep on recycling Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby, both Eno's albums
the best is joshua tree of course,and unforgettable fire also with eno- not achtung baby..this band is call simple minds-don`t you forget about it..! 😜
To me It's sound like U2.
Why It's labeled: Simple minded?
Totally agree!
I was brought up on u2 and simple minds along with human league omd tears for fears in the 80,s
My second favorite band since 1980’s. If you have not seen them live, see them live! You won’t regret it
that's pure perfection, nothing to add, nothing to remove
Its 2024 & its still Fresh 💃🕺
This is a great song. I am a fan of Simple Minds.
That is a tune, forgotten gem
Love this song surprised it wasn't more famous.
This can put you in another world, place and time. ENJOY
Tolle.band.toller.song.simple.minds.rules.
Suuuuuch a great album and single.

😭💙…depression can suck sometimes..always think of this song after I’ve cried a river.
The song that introduced me to simple minds. Banger!
Simple Minds always GREAT MUSIC.
Even now after many years still love their work , their music! Simple Minds FOREVER
Fantastic song ! Simple Minds rocks !
I worked on a local radio show and we played the fuck out of this song. Always got the show kickin!
U2 wish they sounded half as good
1:47 ❤
Heard this at he store today... haven't heard in years.
their drummer is top notch
After 20 years, this song still sounds fresh and powerfull as the first time i've heard it...this is music with a capital M!!
Amen to that.
It seriously does. This is one of my all time fave songs. It's spectacularly composed, fast and fresh. Amazing track the best by Simple Minds, in my opinion. The full version non radio edit is, of course, better.
clearly the best :)
Tu mundo recién llego
Amen brother!!

This whole album is fantastic, every tune is good
SHES A RIVER THATS WHERE IM GONNA BE HA ANOTHER 👍 TUNE
They need to return to US tours for so many Fans, love to see them come here, not sure why they stopped coming
Had this cd in my car 4ever.
That drum sound ... One monster record for sure.
The guitar riff was great, too!!!!
Great bass and drums. Btw, it isn't Mel on drums, but Mark Schulman and Malcom Foster on bass.
This song is a masterpiece
It’s 2024 I’m hearing this for the first time
Really? Omg❤😂❤🎉😅😊
Me too
Better late than never.
They played this song every day @ my job....I was mesmerized every time ❤❤❤
I heard it at a Home Depot store.
Buenos Aires, 1995. Con este tema abrieron en el estadio Obras aquella noche magica. Dos noches seguidas de esta mitica banda. Larga vida a los Simple Minds.
nunca los vi en vivo
Una delle più belle canzoni rock che conosco
2021 whos listening.. Good start of the year.. the river is infront of me.. one of those songs that deserves turned to the max
This was one of those great songs I had forgotten about. I listened to every one of their albums from the 80's until the mid 90's until I found it again! This is cruising music!!!
Epic song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a master piece
Excellent song. One of its own. Lyrics, rythm, melody, it's got it all!
I am rediscovering their music again for the first time in over 25 years. I'd forgotten how good they were!! "All The Things She Said","Book Of Brilliant Things", and "Glittering Prize" are among my favorites ofrom theirs.
WHAT A BAND.Love these guys...ROCK ON
You can really hear the U2 influence in this, especially the guitar. I think it's amazing that two such great bands influenced each other so much
Yes, I always felt this was a child of something from Achtung, Baby.
Completely agree.Mysterious Ways immediately comes to mind.
Not in the same class as Simple Minds
Hate to break the news but The Edge’s whole guitar sound was very much influenced by Charlie Burchill’s reverb and echo drenched licks from around 81/82 that would become standard on U2 albums from Unforgettable Fire onwards.

2021 - Still sounds great music!
Nice tune ,Simple Minds is the Business...
...Fantastic
I think the album of this song is the band's best. I even made a video with background music. Simples Minds Forever!
ua-cam.com/video/3y64DA-soHM/v-deo.html
90s getting my house, river, etc
Great Grand Canyon river trip music. Listening on the red rocks outside of Moab. Always newly discovered messages in both lyrics and video.
Seen simple minds in Newcastle upon Tyne 3 month age still the best band in the world fantastic show
SM onda i sada , zauvijek.
❤
such an underated song!
thats true.
+damian whittington I had just come here to post this exact same thing, only to find that the job had been done.
Haha. You've got taste!!
I totally agree
Sadly not only the song, the Simple Minds is underrated.
1:47 - 2:06 - this part is simply magical.
My favorite part also!👍👌💖
Me too 😍😍😍😍
That drum fill after the bridge 😊
Timeless, has the same energy and power as Waterfront, in my opinion, so underrated, still sounds amazing,
I saw them live in ‘95 ❤
I like the sound of the kick drum. It sound live and alive :)
This is gorgeous 💖
Totally forgot about this song but in retrospect it’s kinda obvious U2 was listening to this when they wrote Hold Me, Thrill Me.
Yes..ME! Vic falls 1996.
First heard this when I was 17 back in 1995, I was already a fan of SM and I loved this one as well. Although I prefer the full length album version!
Listening to one of my favorite masterpieces while driving my cars or skiing diamond tracks SINCE 1994, when I was 20!
My favorite Simple Minds song
Y E S !!!!!!
@@thomasimallgau3781 & @Gert-Jan van der Lee:
My favourite Simple Minds song too.
Masterpiece...the drum part in this sound is not human...2019!!!!!!
Gustavo Ficone the drummer in this song is Vinnie Colaiuta
@@szabolcssponga2841 Mark Schulman according to wiki
Good news from the next world was very inspired and I believe it to still be one of their greatest albums:- although there are many.
This track takes you on a fantastic journey with its twists and turns.
Its one of my favourite simple minds songs.
So well written and produced.
Unforgettable ❤
MUST HAVE ALBUM. TOP 10 EVER MADE. AINT NOTHING LIKE IT. every song PERFECT.
It is Simple Minds best hands down.
Awesome song. This was the real adult Jim Kerr in action and what music ! My travelling song in the car now.

Gruppo musicale mitico💯❤️
OMG....from another planet..what a vibe.respect SM
My Dad died in 2004 and this album became very special to me at that time. It also became the music I drove to because the tape got stuck in the cassette player!
