Whenever they get mentioned its always the mega hits that get played, but their best music was the early stuff like this. No other band sounded like them back then.
Age 11 “Promised you a miracle” was my first single purchase. Glittering prize was my 2nd. I still listen to the ‘New gold dream” album now age 49 and it never gets old. Love a bit of Tears for fears from those days too.
My 80s childhood was a bit horrible but it the music and awesome bands like this that made me safe and at ease. I was 11 when this cut as well as their other fantastic hits like "PROMISED YOU A MIRACLE" AND "HUNTER AND THE HUNTED" had came out. And after all of these wonderful years, they are still without a doubt timeless.
Totally empathise with you here, my childhood wasn’t too bad but we moved countries and I couldn’t settle, found solace in music like this..hope you’re feeling good now 👍
Horrible, nooo don’t say that pls. It were different great times.!! You were just enjoying your teen years like me and everybody else. All the best to you my friend.! We HAD great times, and nobody will take that away from us. Remember that. Take care.!
Easily my favourite Simple Minds song. Just gorgeous. Every sound on it from the get-go....the keyboards, the guitar, the bass, the voice....makes me ache for my youth. Even though it was a tough time for me at school I get associations from this with something happy. Summer, maybe? Only music can do that!! Well.....that and maybe girls' perfume. :)
I was a new romantic in the 80s oh such great songs brilliant era but this tops the lot!! simple minds my favourite group!! This song Still sends shivers down my spine!!
Indeed. :-) I hear a lot of it in modern acts like Cindy/Palmbomen, Nite Jewel, Out Hud, Lia Mice.and Johnny Jewel's productions (Desire/Chromatics/Symmetry/Glass Candy/etc),
Thank you very much for posting these beautiful lyrics to this fantastic song, KilunjiKOTA. This is yet another one of those beautiful hits from the '80s I enjoyed so much, and still do to this day. It's going to be great singing the great words to this fantastic song thanks to you posting these beautiful lyrics, and I'm glad you enjoy the lovely music of Simple Minds as much as I do. Thank you very much once again, and rock on!!😀🎸😃🎸😀
Michael MacNeil, Derek Forbes and Brian McGee were the substance, the backbone of Simple Minds. Their successive departure created a great void and an irreplaceable loss for the spirit of the band.
Shine on ,shine your light on me and all of my life so that much more I see.this song just goes hand in hand with the heady soundtracks to life, love and youth. You don’t need a simple mind to realise and appreciate that.
This song will always remind me of living in New York back in the day. It wasn't a hit but what a song. It got airplay on the alternative NY radio stations.
Saw thease guys on the sparkle in the rain tour in london.....loved it!.....encore with the American....Derek Forbes genius playing on this.....great band......still sounds fresh...
Great year for music. Notice in those early years of the 1980s bands had their own sound and style .Unlike what was to follow, every act looking and sounding the same, following the sheep.
