Simple Minds - Love Song (zhd extended devotion mix) 

Not sure if I've mentioned this before, but I attended the SM concert in Toronto last year and was disappointed that they didn't play Love Song (even though my wife said they did). I just found this (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KKlqXs1f1Eg.html - thank you nyko3424) on-line which proves that they didn't. But now I wish I'd gone to the sound check.

A band that's completely on top of their game here. Simple Minds in their prime were Rock Royalty.

The music industry has gone backwards, this song is an example of bands in the past were way superior than today.

I'm from a small southern town in Alabama. Back in the 80's when a teenage boy had two choices of music he was allowed to listen to, Country or Heavy Metal, I chose to read music magazines that covered musicians from the entire music industry. From there I found Joy Division, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Nick Cave, Sonic Youth, Swans, Einstürzende Neubauten, and Simple Minds. It wasn't easy getting my buddies to check any of these incredible artists out, but that became their loss. Not putting down the country and metal music by any means, all music has it's place. But Simple Minds, with this song, this mix, this energy, proves beyond any doubt that in the final assessment of eighties music, it ultimately, without question, did not suck.

The BEST song EVER by Simple Minds. Perfection. Play loud and get up onto your living room dance floor and shake it out?! Love 'Love Song'

Wow. How did I discover this Simple Minds song just now?! Like 40 years later! I am most familiar with their mid-80s and beyond music, but never ventured to their earlier stuff. This song doesn't sound dated at all; that's crazy!!! That bass!!!

There's nothing like taking a great song and making it last longer

Once upon a time when there was awesome bands with awesome musicians that made awesome music 🎶🎶

imagine being this young, this brave and this cool with this timeless classic.

justice is not the word ,this is the best remix of this song I have ever heard.

They say the spine of a great band is the rhythm section, bass, drums, etc. SM's rhythm section of Forbes, MacNeil, and McGee was one oak tree of a spine. Toss in Kerr's vocals and Burchill's guitar riffs, and you're blessed with this great sound.

the first man with a man bag, how awesome

Blew my mind when I first heard this decades ago and still my favourite Minds track to this day. Will be played in 50 years time and still sound fresh, that's how good it is!

That bass is brutal

Mind blowing masterpiece by Scotland’s greatest group

Watta song !!!! Watta band !!!! Watta feeling !!! Watta decade the 80"s !!! Thanx Jim, Charly, Derek, Mick, Brian, Mel and John for simple minds along the fabulous 80's

The most underrated band ever

The best period of my life..

Timeless and simply brilliant ))......can't believe this banging tune is 35 years old...!

Still keep coming back to this, fantastic! Oh to be back in the late 70's / 80's

That bass guitar. One of my favourite SM tracks. Extended Magic.

A song that shall always stand the passage in time. Fantastic band I would have dearly wished to see in concert. Rock on SM. 👍🙏

That is the meaning of cool. Fucking awsome video

First listen was in 81, stoned on hash, brand new track on the radio, brand new group. I was with some mates, doin nothing. I was 18, blown away & now nearly 55 I still love it for the groove the electro romance & in a way a ground breaking tune for the times

Simple Minds at their very best! Derek Forbes forever! Cheers and all the best from Sweden!

dancing like no one is watching Whooplaaa !! :D

They really did have a unique sound!

Love this extended version, the short version was my favourite SM track but it was too short , hypnotic indeed must be the bass line ...far out

That intro is SICK!!!! My second favorite SM song next to "New Gold Dream"!!!

WHAT A TUNE Simply cannot get enough of this classic

One of the best band from the 80s with depeche mode 😍

SM said it best “Glory Days”! Hopefully bands of this calibre will emerge again somewhere sometime.

Simple Minds, one of my favourite bands back in the 80's and still are to this day. Wish I had gone to see them live in their heyday. Awesome track.

A class band, and years ahead of everybody else at the time.

Someone......Doc Brown....Marty.....anybody.....just give me a time machine so I can get back to the 80`s😜🤪🤩

From a metal head loved these guys and Duran Duran

Man ... excellent job of making a great song even better. The bass line and beat just keeps on going ....

The 80's The best period of great bands!

America was coming out a steep recession during the 80's England was still stuck in one, lots of disenfranchised kids look to music to escape a rather horrible life. Rock was getting to boring and people were yearning for something different. Hence the 80's, so much talent anybody that could play or sing tried to make it. The best rose up. It was fun to live it and enjoy every moment of it, new music coming out weekly to monthly.

I could listen to that Bass Groove, all day long. Fantastic remix zhd. It's totally seamless! Even though its 10 minutes long, it sure doesn't seem like it.

After so many years LOVE SONG still stirs my heart and brain, SIMPLE MINDS 👏

I’m addicted to this......it makes me happy!

This is fantastic!!!!

2020 ,desde chile y con el10% aprobado , a celebrar con éste pedazo de BANDA .. full simply minds

Steve Hillage is a Producer Genius, how he changed the sound of S.M. wow. And the Guitar sounds like he´s playing that...

I can't find that anyone said you did this song justice so here goes: I am not young. My wheelhouse is 80's new wave/punk. This is absolutely what people like me need to see and hear. Thanks for doing this, it is perfect And I will add this video looks like Hollywood's current vision of the future and it is from 1981. The 80's were incredibly special

Thank you for the upload! Please work on other SM singles and great songs, from this one to 1985 (Come a Long Way). All those great songs deserve your treatment, and longer versions!!

Love this Song , Great Extended Mix ...Played it for 8 hours Straight

A pure masterpiece from Glasgows finest.

Come on everyone who loves this track and give it some rice onRU-vid and anywhere else you can.

Yes this is pure ART/ avantgarde.....man the 80s decade was so fine.....topnoch all the way. Further more: MacNeill and Forbes were always very stylish and half gods looking at their craft and talent, really.

Big fan since the early years! Great band, great songs even with the new band members sounds absolutely fantastic! Well done girls! You both amazing! .....and the rest of the band of course!!

This is so excellent, cannot belive i found this copy on youtube, cannot wait to ride all over Brantford with this blasting from my potent bicycle hehe. love it!

Great song! But the question is...What´s in the bag?

Scottish Hale of fame

Kerr single handedly invents the "man bag"

One of the tracks that changed my life..... but I wonder what he keeps in his little bag

thank god i saw them in Oct 2018 before pan pan

Maravilha,esta bela canção,gosto de ouvir belas músicas,dos anos 80's.....

I was there. Roadie for Simple Minds

Allways lovede that bassline - on and on and..

Esta banda simplemente es extraordinaria tanto por sus sonidos experimentales y esos riffs y su estilo en general q la hacen única en su especie.

I love you tube!! it's my time machine. LOVE SONG!!!

does bro have his PE gear in that bag?

Keeping the signal PURE. 😊❤😊❤😊

This is one BADASS song...

Your version is better than SM's original 12" mix! Love, love, love it! Thankyou! I still wish that I was in the Countdown audience the day that they filmed this in the studio. 😎

When Simple Minds were touched by genius................

Great song....Great mix! They don't make em like that anymore

Sons & Fascination was The SM Album that IGNITED me as a Fan , DM U2 CURE Chameleons , CLASH Siouxsie JD .So Many.ICONIC Bands... It was an Amazing Time for Music !

So bloody cool, thank you

zhd..this is awesome, thanks for sharing. Brilliant memories of these days!

Countdown performance in December, 1981 in Melbourne Australia. Timeless. I love what you created here!!!!

Still some great bands around,gang of youths,war on drugs, future islands etc, but simple minds brilliant

GREAT MUSIC FROM THE 80'S WLIR SCREAMER OF THE WEEK ---- DARE TO BE DIFFERENT

Great job!!!!!!! I luv what you have done I'm just starting to listen to your work and I am impressed. The 80s was my favorite decade the music and the parties oh and the women I was in my 20s in the 80s riding my Harley and having a great time. You brought back some great memories. Thanks.

2020 = SM 40 year anniversary. Timeless music. Cant wait for the Glasgow gig in April.

Jim Kerr is so cool even that man purse he is wearing

That impact one band can have!

At that time. Nothing like them. The sound could have been from aliens electro grove over driving drums and pulsating guitars. Wow it was great to be 17 in Edinburgh and we had this. Wow.

A great tune I listened to religiously while in University.......just made better! Simple Minds should give you credit!. Well done!

Priceless!!! Thank you!!!

Glasgow man here, just had this sent to me from a good mate, well-done sir, well done indeed.

Mick was such a great keyboardist and still is!

Saw them in 79 supporting Magazine at Liverpool Empire on the "Secondhand Daylight" tour. "Life In A Day" and "Chelsea Girl" won it and I have been behind them since. Their back catalogue deserves ultimate respect. From clubs to stadiums and people still liked them. The one phrase I never hear: "I USED to like Simple Minds"

Love thesong. Thanks for the great remix and video!

This is really a great remix! I love it!

3 seconds in - ooh this is good

Growing up in a musical family I started learning guitar at 6 but lost interest in it. Then at 9yrs I learnt the piano for 10yrs then picked up the flute, chose it because being a female thought it was a beautiful delicate instrument and learnt that for 7yrs but geez I wish I persevered with the guitar. I find the different sounds the peddles can do and I love it in this song. 1982, 12yrs old.

Absolutely brilliant....iconic...ipnotic. I love it. My sadness for the actual generation, and terrible music own

Pal of mine gave me his copy of Sons and Fascination in 1981 with a random.."have a listen to this"...

bless their hearts, hearts of steel!

Wow! ... just WOW!!

2022,,,no need for a band ,,,just a handsome thing and a man cave . ,,,

Pure awesome, wish I could have seen them in concert ❤️

Drummer is best only using 4 skins

This is the original taken from the Australian music pop show Countdown 1981 ..

This is done with Looovvee!!! Brilliant!!

This is a conundrum. Im am (in equal parts)so grateful for the uploader for posting this work of art whilst been equally enraged by the ill timed add placement.

Awesome work. I love the groove from the extended mix. Saw SM in Melbourne at a small venue called the Jump club back in the day with a good friend called Jack. Remember we were within touching distance of the band. Great gig, never forgotten...
