We should also all fall on our faces to give thanks for John Hughes who really gave Simple Minds and other bands like them exposure to kids like me who otherwise would never have heard them, and for the treasures he left behind with the incredible films that defined and helped shape a generation. No other time was like the being a teenager in the 1980's.

I was 13 when this came out. But I was totally hooked on "Don't you" and didn't really get into other Simple Minds music until much later. I always wondered why that was until a few years ago I learned that "Don't you" wasn't actually written by them. I decided to familiarize myself with their own music and finally understood and loved it.

"Sanctify Yourself" and "All the Things She Said" are a couple more great songs of theirs. Also, the lead singer, Jim Kerr was married to Chrissie Hynde from the Pretenders for a time. They're another great band you need to get back to! I don't think you've done "Middle Of the Road" or "Back on the Chain Gang" yet and you are missing OUT on those!

Later on “waterfront” from Sparkle in the Rain is epic. Much later 80s is “This is Your Land” from Street Fighting Years along with “Belfast Child”.

Simple Minds is a very spiritual band. My favorite song by them is "Speed Your Love to Me." Like U2, many of their songs are written about God with lyrics cloaked in rock guitars, bass, keyboards & drums. "Oh, you lift me up to the crucial top, so I can see Oh, you lead me on, till the feelings come And the lights that shine on But if that don't mean nothing Like if someday it should fall through You'll take me home where the magic's from And I'll be with you"

@stevehamilton8824 10 месяцев назад

One the best bands to come out of the 80's. This was a wave of British artists/bands, along with Tears for Fears, The Alarm & U2 whose music drove messages, got people to think, often times topics involving the spiritual & political, but always inspirational. Jim belts his songs out in an almost gospel style that gives you chills and makes your hair stand on end. Jim Kerr is an amazing singer and this album - ONCE UPON A TIME is a great album from start to finish. This song is incredible. "All the Things She Said", "Sanctify Yourself", "Ghost Dancing", "Oh Jungleland". Others - "Belfast Child", "Someone, Somewhere", "See the Lights". So many more. Keep reacting to this band. This band is so ridiculously good.
