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
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...
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.
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! ❤❤
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!!
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..
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 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!!! BUT I HAVE ALL' THE CONCERT I CAN SEE!!!! LOVE TOO ALL MY SIMPLE FRIENDS CRAZY LIKE ME!!!!!!
@@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
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 !
America Heard about the Minds after Don't you forget about me, There best stuff was all before Albums like Reel to Reel, Life in a Day, New Gold Dream were simply brilliant, Still love Simple Minds. If you have not seen them live, then please go they are still amazing
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.
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🏴🎸🙏
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
My favorite song by Simple Minds easily. Reminds me of the summer of 1985 West Germany but spent the most special week of my life on this one week trip in West Berlin. She had eyes like large, blue (azule ?) pools. Love at first sight 35 years ago. I can never forget, even if I wanted.
@@paulalexander633 I suppose she went her way. Heck, I would have followed her to Finland like some lost puppy. But I suspect she had a boyfriend. The different languages thing did not help. My German was awful!! But we stayed in touch by mail and these broken German, transantlantic phone calls. I graduated college just the writing and phone calls stopped. I was trying to be polite and do the right thing if she already had a boyfriend. I have a Finnish friend and his eyes are similar. Reminds me so much of her I try hard not to think about it. What do they call that, un-requieted love? Take care Mr. Alexander.
Saw them in Seattle last weekend (their first visit since 1984!) They performed a very long set, Jim Kerr is a genuinely generous frontman and Charlie Burchill is the man.
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.
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...
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.
I'm not big on Simple Minds if I'm being honest but there is something about this song. I'll you what that something is - it's f***ing brilliant, that's what!
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.
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.
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 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
Most people have listen first time Simple Minds watching the Breakfast Club movie which was a masterpiece as I was a teenager at that time but before it the band have produced some amazing albums even 3 or 4 just instrumentals .... I AM A BIG FAN !!!!!
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
Be 58 this year. this IS my favorite band. Cheers all.
crying, my childhood and the family is gone, this track and band are splendid, give me the energy to live ...
Stay strong
❤🇧🇷
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...
Best song ever. So many memories. So beautiful. This song lifts my soul.
It will always be...someone...somewhere....in summertime! ❤ always! Love you. Simple Minds Forever
Unfortunately all we have left now are memories thanks guys.
SIMPLE MINDS One of the best 80s bands deserves to be in the hall of fame.
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
One of the best bands of the 80,s ,and still today 👍.
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...

No words to describe Simple Minds.... Epic Band!!!!
The music to this song has never sounded better. Epic.
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....
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!
❤❤
I’m 53 today say them live when I was 16. Incredible show.
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!!
Agree. Just told the missus (who is a major fan) that this is my fav SM song
Art & Talk you got that right
+1
Agreed👍
big sleep me
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..
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...
Bring back the 80's !
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!!!!!!!!!
The intro from the extended version is perfect,what an amazing night it must have been.
Sono 30 anni che li ascolto e mi emoziono ancora
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
2022... Am crying...Love this...Jim's voice gets better with time...
All songs from the album New Gold Dream are amazing, and this song is one of them!
Best
You called it, I think NGD is my fav.
GLITTERING PRICE IT'S THE CAPOLAVORO IN XX SECOLO!!!!!
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!!!

My favourite Simple Minds tune ever. Charlie & Jim looking great!
Totally agree 👍
Song has soul
Wow. Wish I could have been there. This track for me just instantly takes me back to the carefree days of my youth...
33 years ago since Charlie played those spellbinding opening chords at sunset in Roskilde. Forever my favourite anthem.
We grew up on the Glasgow housing estates listening to this brilliant music in the mid 80s xx
a unique band with their own sound, never ever matched by others. i love u guys.
Well done the boys
This is an absolutely amazing song takes me back to the good times and it's up there with the best ❤
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 !
Ok
FANTASTIC...
Una delle più belle canzoni della mia gioventù ❤
I love simple minds and this for me is their greatest, musically deepest, catchiest meaningful track. Love love hashtag LOVE
Not Simple Minds' best song. Not my favourite Simple Minds song either. But is this the quintessential Simple Minds song?
Y love simple minds
One of the best band of the 80's...... Best live performance and sound is amazing,keyboards,drums yeaaahh baby 😃Derek Forbes bass line 😀
Sei indimenticabile Jim!! La tua musica ci ha semplicemente aiutato a vivere!! Grazie
America Heard about the Minds after Don't you forget about me, There best stuff was all before Albums like Reel to Reel, Life in a Day, New Gold Dream were simply brilliant, Still love Simple Minds. If you have not seen them live, then please go they are still amazing
Beautifull Scotish People!!! Here... You're Argentinian Brothers love you....
One of the best Live Bands I've seen, the symbiotic relation between the guitar & voice, they created timeless songs, many thanks for that!
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.
Jim, plenty of love from Italy!!! We love you!!!
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🏴🎸🙏
Je l'adore, il me fais ressentir tellement d'émotions ce type, quelle voix, wow
How time flies. The most beautiful memories of indefinable childhood ❤. Adore him 👌
Reminds me of the greatest times in the early 80s what a brilliant song
Brilliant version!
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!
One of my all time favorites! I was a teenager when this song came out. So many great memories attached to this song. It still gives me goosebumps.
My favorite band and one of my favorite songs. Somehow their music takes me to a special place and there's no other way to get there. 💞
SM ever and forever.
Maurizio from Rijeka Croatia
One of my all time favourites, IF NOT THE FAVOURITE SONG OF ALL TIMES!
It's still to this day a beautiful song. Reminds me of so many summers past.

One of the Best Songs from the 80`s
Have seen these seven times and only get better
My God 25-12-2020 !!!!! Fantastic
This looks like the Edinburgh Playhouse, which is a Fantsatic Venue, been there many times. Wish I had been there for this Gig....Just Brilliant.....
Saw them in Seattle last weekend (their first visit since 1984!) They performed a very long set, Jim Kerr is a genuinely generous frontman and Charlie Burchill is the man.
Absolutely awesome Jim a brilliant frontman amazing stage presence💜💛💚
O Jim kerr, é maravilhoso, canta muito
My absolute fave by them. Wonderful memories of a special time
Mon tout 1er album 33 tours ....j'avais 12 ans !!! Et pour moi ce fut le meilleur album de tous les temps !!!💪🏻😘👍🏻
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.

Great song. A fantastic band.
Saw them last week in Amsterdam.
I saw them yesterday in Luxemburg, Rockhal. It was great!
They are a well known music group world wide! I love most of their hits,! 😀❤️
Still to this day THE best livebanf I havr ever experienced. Have loved SimpleMinds since 1988.
Oh my word, what a tune!
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.

One of the best bands ever
Timeless Masterpiece

This song is pure energy,the Best song ever Heard in My life, simply Magic.
Wat een fantastische band. Zij met Golden Earring en Ice House de soundtrack van mijn leven. Verleden in Carre te Amsterdam waren zij magic.
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
Most people have listen first time Simple Minds watching the Breakfast Club movie which was a masterpiece as I was a teenager at that time but before it the band have produced some amazing albums even 3 or 4 just instrumentals .... I AM A BIG FAN !!!!!
Thank you for the memories,
Amazing - transcends me back to the 80s - music @ its best 👍
Watching this makes me sad as we can no longer gather like this at the moment.
