      What demands?!! Recording Miami Vice every Friday night w your VCR on time? Making sure your hair had enough hairspray to set a small country on fire? I grew up in the 80's in NYC and I don't recall any hardships that forced me to grow up sooner than I had to. The music was just better. Kids had to go out of their way to discover bands or hang out at Tower Records for hours looking at albums. Today everything is right at your fingertips, instant gratification. There's no fun in that. We had it good!

    Don't you look back on a big lost world
    Crying out tomorrow
    Don't you look down like the heroes say
    Come tell me all about it
    Take me to the streets where the bonfires burn
    Take me in your arms and I'll fade away
    When I hear you say what you got to say
    Anywhere you go, you know I'll still be waiting
    All the things she said, she said
    Little darling close your eyes, there'll be no compromising
    Of all the things she said, she said
    Throw me to the street where the heartbeats beating
    "Beating all around me"
    To the peaceful revolution
    And the perfect wave, surround me
    Tell me 'bout the ocean moving in slow motion
    I see it glitter in the sun
    Then it's freezing in the moonlight
    Never look back, never look back, never look away
    If freedom comes and goes, you know I'll still be waiting
    All the things she said, she said
    You've fought the fight so long, no surrender to temptation
    Of all the things she said, she said
    Stars will fall out for you
    Luck will surrender
    I'm calling out to you
    Oh to be near you in the first morning light
    I'd be with you, I dream about you
    If I could leave here, I would leave here tonight
    I'd be with you, I'd stay with you tonight
    Tonight
    Anywhere you go, you know I'll still be waiting
    Of all the things she said, she said
    When I look into your eyes, I see a new day rising
    Oh all the things she said, she said
    Through the eyes of love, and to never know what hate is
    Of all the things she said, she said
    She said, this is our time, she said, this is our place
    This is the space my heart wants to be
    Little darling close your eyes, there'll be no compromising

    Gen Z kids only know Simple Minds from "Don't You Forget about me," so I am doing my part to school them on songs like this.

    Still love this song- 36 years after it's release. Charlie Burchill's guitar; Robin Clark's background; the rest of the band's music; the video- but most of all Jim Kerr's voice! In 2022- it's still an 80's CLASSIC!

    Literally hasn't aged a day. IMHO, Simple Minds' best song, and one of the best 80s songs period.

      @@Gantoise89 DYFAM is a great song, made greater by being the title song to arguably the best teen/high school movie ever made, The Breakfast Club. I just prefer this one, and Belfast Child.

      I once said that I love "She's a river" and my brother immediately answered "that's because there's nothing simple about the Simple Minds." This song exactly showcases how sophisticated they are as a band.

      I Love Simple Minds. To me one of the greatest bands from the 80's with U2. We tried with my friend from R&O to review their great song "Don't you (forget about me)". We let you be the judge if you get the 5 minutes. Woud love your views on our cover :
