      Yes, I agree...always thinking...Despite, at one point him saying he was shy etc...Always great presence!

    Solstice Kiss is a masterpiece hit with the same tune as She’s a river along with most of the songs in the album Real Life!
    Thank you Simple Minds for giving us this amazing hit in the best album you’ve made in two decades 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    Jim is correct. Songs can always bring you to a certain place that not other medium can. I listen to specific songs at times to conjure up a specific time in my life. Especially if the song is era specific.

      Talking about accents - and I am asking this as a foreigner: Do you think Jim Kerr has a Scottish accent? Compared to like Rod Stewart who grew up in England.

    I ADORE THE ALBUM!! I HAVE COLLECTED ALMOST ALL OFTHEM, AS FAR AS I KNOW. I CAME IN LATE TO THE PARTY; ALL THE YEARS I LIVED IN LOS ANGELES AND LAS VEGAS, OREGON, ETC... I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SIMPLE MINDS. IS SOMEONE CRAZY?! WE'VE ALL MISSED OUT! I KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT I WOULD HAVE LOVED SIMPLE MINDS DURING MY EARLIER YEARS. PRAISE GOD THEY HAVE INTRODUCED THEMSELVES TO THE WORLD, ALL OVER AGAIN!! THANK YOU JIM KERR, AND SIMPLE MINDS!! MY LIFE IS BETTER BECAUSE OF YOU!!❤🤍♥🌹

    Jim doesn’t smoke or drink or do drugs. I love his eternal optimism, drive and energy. He’s also very eloquent and quite a decent writer. Have to say that their revival since 2002’s Cry album has been extremely gratifying to watch and experience. Every album since then has been very good with the highlight for me being the Deluxe version of 2014’s Big Music. Please come back to North America and specifically San Francisco. 😁

    Sparkle in the Rain is the best rock album of all time imo! I'm not gonna lie and say I don't miss the original line up, but you can always trust Messrs. Kerr and Burchill to get a great band together!
