This is by far my favorite SM song and this version is wonderful- seeing Mel on drums and Ged holding down a killer groove and well Charlie and Jim doing Charlie and Jim things it’s special
In case I'd meet someone from another planet asking me about Simple Minds, I'd certainly choose this song to 'introduce him' into their world and sound! A real masterpiece! ❤❤
The perfect merging of punchy synth and atmospheric guitar and a singer who can actually belt it out. Didn't know back then how lucky we were in the 80's. Ain't that always the case with passing time.
They are really Incredible my dream come true to see them can’t wait to see them again .someone said they are defined by 2songs but if you’re a true fan you are defined by them all
Vi seguo da sempre e avete segnato la mia vita adolescenziale e attuale... Strabilianti e memorabili da sempre e per sempre... Da un italiano ex marinaio del 68 che per un quarto di secolo ha girato il mondo accompagnato dalla vostra musica... Grazie per la vostra dedizione
This song is timeless, if I didn’t know the song is from the glorious 80’s, and you tell me it was just reliased yesterday i’d believe you in a heart beat...
When I first heard this song, I was so blown away. Everything about it just mesmerized me. After getting this album I determined that Simple Minds were my favorite band.
What a song! I'm 48 and I've been listening to this masterpiece since 1982. My 3 children know the song of course. What a band! Thanks Jim, Thanks Charlie.for what you gave me since I was a little boy. See you on the road soon I🏴🎸🙏
Definitely one of the mega bands of the 80s and into the 90s. They produced a very individual style which combined a range of styles. Proved highly popular and still are..
Danke SM für die Zeitreise. Damals erlebte ich meine beste Zeit, so wie viele von uns. Gibt einem immer wieder ein gutes Gefühl. Danke für die Zeitreise.
When people talk about Simple Minds it's usually "Don't You (Forget About Me)" or "Alive And Kicking". That's all right to a degree but for me if I had to pick one song and one song only it would be this song. It's just so beautiful!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ IN THE 80'S ,,,, I HAD THE TIME OFF MY LIVE ,,,, I WAS 14 YEARS OLD ON THE DANCE FLOOR WITH SO MANY PEOPLE DANCING ON THAT BEAUTIFULL SONG ,,,, SIMPLE MINDS = SIMPLY THE BEST❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
seen these live in 2015 .Leeds first .direct .arena . i was .44 .and I went . with my mother .she was .64 .we never .stopped .clapping .and rocking .till start .to finish .what a fabulous .wicked night
Wonderful song , one more really ! So romantic and Jim Kerr's absolutely UNIQUE VOICE . Simple Minds is the very best band in the world . Rare and unique music !
Saw this amazing gift to music that is the Minds in 84 at the Caird Hall in Dundee....what a gig and what a band....outstanding...and Charlie Burchill still a guitaring influence to this 53 year old...
I will always be grateful for them coming to play at the Manly Vale Hotel in Sydney (twice) and so should they be grateful. We went through an era together that no one could dream about now. Some of us, somewhere in summertime.
A law student then, when I first heard the song, I heard it on the train from Athens to Komotini. The years when everything seemed hopeful. There was a road of time. Now, for so many years, Judge, I am not weeping for what I did not live, but for what I caused so that the people who loved me would not live. The song is with divine music, and every night writing down the decisions for the people, I become that new 17-year-old, the first year of law school, who travels by train and sees city lights pass by. Blessed are the people who live their days in love, there is nothing left and you do not take anything else with you. Thanks to my favorite band for my favorite song, unfortunately, I will never listen to them live here in Greece and and this is a complaint from my life. PAOK F.C. THESSALONIKI
THIS ALBUN US CHE BEST ON ALL' THE TIME!!!! Ì'M A ITALIAN WOMAN,I HAVE TO SEE HER THE CONCERT IN VENEZIA, I'M 16TEEN AND JIM TOUCH ME MY HAND( JIM DANCE LIKE A TEER IN THE DEEP OF SEA)AND I'M IN LOVE FOREVER!!!!!)! EXCUSE ME FOR MY ENGLISH!!!

@@monicamarchi7371 grande Monica anch'io amo i simple minds ! purtroppo non ho visto molte volte i simple dal vivo ,ma li sento ancora adesso ,è sempre un piacere! tanti saluti da davide baci dalla Romagna
I've only just started discovering Simple Minds; I think this is my favourite song so far in my discovery. The guitar reminds me a bit of Marillion (who I love) and U2, but they've definitely get their own thing going on.
This is great, they are the best group to come out of the UK and so under rated. Saw them live in Leicester same tour, the live sound quality is superb. A must go see band.
Be 58 this year. this IS my favorite band. Cheers all.
Jeez, I'm 54 years old now, this takes me back instantly to the greatest years of my life, thank you SM.
bumble1612, me too.
Monica....me to!!!!
me too
Monica tank you Jim
81,82,83,84!
one of the best songs ever written
Well done the boys
It will always be...someone...somewhere....in summertime! ❤ always! Love you. Simple Minds Forever
Una delle più belle canzoni della mia gioventù ❤
Beautifull Scotish People!!! Here... You're Argentinian Brothers love you....
This is by far my favorite SM song and this version is wonderful- seeing Mel on drums and Ged holding down a killer groove and well Charlie and Jim doing Charlie and Jim things it’s special
Best song ever. So many memories. So beautiful. This song lifts my soul.
This is their best song, such a ethereal and surreal sound that few bands have been able to capture
blue nile,,,,same city ,,,same era,,,,,song tinsel town in the rain....check it ,,,,glasgow was rocking...
Unfortunately all we have left now are memories thanks guys.
In case I'd meet someone from another planet asking me about Simple Minds, I'd certainly choose this song to 'introduce him' into their world and sound! A real masterpiece!
❤❤
crying, my childhood and the family is gone, this track and band are splendid, give me the energy to live ...
Stay strong
❤🇧🇷
FANTASTIC...
No words to describe Simple Minds.... Epic Band!!!!
SIMPLE MINDS One of the best 80s bands deserves to be in the hall of fame.
One of the best bands of the 80,s ,and still today 👍.
Sei indimenticabile Jim!! La tua musica ci ha semplicemente aiutato a vivere!! Grazie
The music to this song has never sounded better. Epic.
This is an absolutely amazing song takes me back to the good times and it's up there with the best ❤
The perfect merging of punchy synth and atmospheric guitar and a singer who can actually belt it out. Didn't know back then how lucky we were in the 80's. Ain't that always the case with passing time.
One of my favourite SM tracks. Brings back so many memories of my teenage years back in the 1980s
Mon the well, and the minds....
2022... Am crying...Love this...Jim's voice gets better with time...
Magical
What a hauntingly beautiful song and what a great lineup with Mel on the drums.
They are really Incredible my dream come true to see them can’t wait to see them again .someone said they are defined by 2songs but if you’re a true fan you are defined by them all
Mel looks bored

I’m 53 today say them live when I was 16. Incredible show.
My absolute fave by them. Wonderful memories of a special time
When I first heard this song, I was so blown away. Everything about it just mesmerized me. After getting this album I determined that Simple Minds were my favorite band.
Un intero film di ricordi bellissimi che ha lasciato questa fantastica canzone ...........
Uno di quei capolavori che potrei ascoltare all'infinito. Per me uno dei più bei pezzi di tutta la storia della musica 💜
come tutto quel Meraviglioso LP (New Gold Dream 81-82-83-84), trovare un pezzo brutto in quel 33 giri...è roba da archeologi
Ho il vinile In The City of Lights e credo di averlo consumato soprattutto in corrispondenza di questa canzone e di Ghostdancing
Sicuramente 👍
sono dei genii!!!!!!!!!
What a song! I'm 48 and I've been listening to this masterpiece since 1982. My 3 children know the song of course. What a band! Thanks Jim, Thanks Charlie.for what you gave me since I was a little boy. See you on the road soon I🏴🎸🙏

One of the best Live Bands I've seen, the symbiotic relation between the guitar & voice, they created timeless songs, many thanks for that!
Sono 30 anni che li ascolto e mi emoziono ancora
Jim, plenty of love from Italy!!! We love you!!!

Some people say that this song takes them back, but to me this song made me feel good 36 years ago and still makes me feel good 36 years later...
The intro from the extended version is perfect,what an amazing night it must have been.
One of the best bands ever
Bring back the 80's !
Have seen these seven times and only get better
Mon tout 1er album 33 tours ....j'avais 12 ans !!! Et pour moi ce fut le meilleur album de tous les temps !!!💪🏻😘👍🏻

L'essenza degli anni 80 in questa canzone. Anni bellissimi e spensierati. W i Simple Minds ❤️
Da pelle d'oca! Non tanto per i vent'anni andati, ma perchè questo gruppo era veramente ad un altro livello!

Love this masterpiece of musicianship
I will always be grateful for them coming to play at the Manly Vale Hotel in Sydney (twice) and so should they be grateful. We went through an era together that no one could dream about now. Some of us, somewhere in summertime.
Wat een fantastische band. Zij met Golden Earring en Ice House de soundtrack van mijn leven. Verleden in Carre te Amsterdam waren zij magic.
Nothing compares to playing to a home crowd 🏴
Simplemente gracias
Oh my word, what a tune!
J adore

Das ist einfach großartig - fühl mich echt in eine andere Zeit zurück versetzt - und echte 1959er !!

My God 25-12-2020 !!!!! Fantastic
Great song. A fantastic band.

I saw them yesterday in Luxemburg, Rockhal. It was great!
What an amazing live performance, ...lucky one who were there !
Ooooh yeahhh whohou..his voice, the sound of the band..OMG...WE LOVE YOU😙✌♥️😚
I've only just started discovering Simple Minds; I think this is my favourite song so far in my discovery. The guitar reminds me a bit of Marillion (who I love) and U2, but they've definitely get their own thing going on.
One of the Best Songs from the 80`s
La più bella canzone della storia della musica...
Diese Band hat einige Musikstücke die ich genial finde. Belfast Child ist mein Favorit.
My life in a song.
Love this band 110%
Magnifique version de someone. Sm the best
Absolutely awesome Jim a brilliant frontman amazing stage presence💜💛💚
O Jim kerr, é maravilhoso, canta muito
This is great, they are the best group to come out of the UK and so under rated. Saw them live in Leicester same tour, the live sound quality is superb. A must go see band.
an iconic album that so many bands fed from still symbolic of that time my heart rises with it
