Simple Minds - Belfast Child

[shadowhunter1966]

well lookin at sum oh the posts i see the point of this song has been either lost or forgotten on sum people ,but for me, the point of the lyrics are trying to cross the religious divide,,and hey if u want to hav a go at me for not agreeing with u then sad u!!!

[nico321]

3rd biggest band in the world during the 80's

[TheTycondaroga]

Obviously the point and meaning of the song is lost on some people

[nerdflanders8710]

@dieselphil59 So hows the career in rocket science going?

[HSBCHBOS]

This band was as good as U2, BUT DIDN'T GET THE SAME RECOGNITION. wHY????

[sheamus316]

@HSBCHBOS theyre better than U2 by a long shot and personally to quote Bono"we were a band who got lucky".the short arsed self opinionated little shit said it best and The Edge cant play the guitar for shit either.

[ziljin25]

@sheamus316 how come theyre the most successful band (by touring standards anyway) ever then?

[sheamus316]

@ziljin2 read what i said.DO not say The Edge can play guitar or a lynch mob will cut you to ribbons.listen to their songs and listen to the same shit guitar every time.prove me wrong and every one else who doesnt kiss this shit bands arse.Jim Kerr has a better voice as well.way better than Bone on.

[MrKillie1869]

@sheamus316 correct



[FERIFREAKY]

@HSBCHBOS Maybe because they weren't as USA horny as U2 is. Less commercial in other words :p

3/3/1989 My Birthday

[superocklevel]

@20079037 lucky you, awesome year in music thought!!!

[juankair1]

Goosebumps all over the place...

[DaveC05626]

wow the Belfast landscape has changed a lot since then!!!

[neilmac991]

never knew Ally Mccoist sang

[sheamus316]

beautiful song,but again religion on both sides fucks it all up.

[pinquifrustri]

@sheamus316 I do not intend to offend, but the Irish question lies on nationality, not on religion. 'Protestant' and 'Catholic' are mere denominations. 'Unionist' and 'Irish republican' must be the nomenclature.

[D3mentor89]

Apparently this was the no 1 song when I was born.

[pacoschroeder]

Incredibly inspiring..... 

[Kenckaplus]

It's sad to watch the video with those bad artists all around the page.

[TheJAntrobus]

This song means so much, to all the innocent people that died on both sides, all because they where of a different religion. Shows how stupid the fighting was.

[pinquifrustri]

@TheJAntrobus I am sorry, but the troubles were over nationality, not over religion. Some of the most prominent Irish nationalist, i.e. Stuart Parnell, have belong to the Protestant community.

[manonteraa]

Love this song!:D

[Spremsplash]

Beautiful.

[patou274]

good



[Krishnath99]

Without a doubt one of the best and most emotional songs of '88

[thedukedubstep]

@Krishnath99 89 You mean?

[Krishnath99]

@thedukedubstep yes, a simple mistype.

[DreamyAlice]

memories...... love this song

[coletjuh88]

god save irelandddd

[nhoj084eva]

@coletjuh88 Dude...there Scottish 

[ShitJitsu]

@nhoj084eva yep m8 you got that right

[brucee6shooter]

an absolute beautiful song

[bgisger]

Probably the most epic song by Simple Minds!

[wargasm58]

@bgisger Probably?

[chamillionaire96]

@bgisger yeah, and probably the last beautiful and awesome song, when MacNeill left the band...
