    I will never forget this song playing on my walkman as the dawning sun painted itself across the wall of the studio after a night of no sleep, toiling away on a project I can't recall anymore. A moment, a place, a time, a mood, I will never forget. Thank you.

    I first heard this song on the radio (mono, not stereo) at work when the song came out and it blew my mind. Very powerful. Loved it for 40 years and am addicted to it. It makes me feel good to be alive.

    I was born 6 November 1964, the exact right time to have able to see this talented band form, grow and succeed. What a glorious impact Simple Minds made on me growing up. The music of "My Time" helped me to survive being a teenager in an empty home. I have been on my own since 1978 and lived every moment of my young life then INSIDE THE SANCTUARY OF SONGS LIKE THIS ONE.

Thanks Simple Minds love you guys! ♥️

    I see some comments about seeing Simple Minds in 83, which makes folks feel old. I was 13 in 1983 and they were my FIRST concert. God, what a grand band to begin a lifelong affair with music! I'm now 51, ill, and have about 6 months to live. Please dont feel old or off kilter. EVERY second of your lives matter; from beginning to the inevitable end. Only LOVE!

    What is really incredible about 'Simple Minds' is that, as far as I understand it, a lot of their released recordings were recorded and sound engineered virtually live from live stage/ concert performances. You are only going to get this standard and quality of sound from some of the more sophisticated Rave Festival and EDM/Trance producers in much more recent times. And then you have the actual music itself, which is incredibly good.

    A perfect example of that drum lick that made Phil Collins a household name...invented by the master, Steve Lillywhite, while working with...Peter Gabriel. Just wild to hear it so pronounced in this mix. Truly a spectacular album, all around. Lillywhite put these guys on the map, just like he did when he worked with U2. Memories truly are golden.

    Can you imagine being in an audience & holding Jim Kerr's hand?! Alas, I was just a little too young for concerts in '83, and miles away in Canada. I loved New Gold Dream 81-82-83-84, having discovered it in the mid-to-late '80s... Their songs just made you want to pop out of your chair and dance!
