[bregreen72]

Im sitting on the naafi bar wall in gib looking up this wraf s shorts as here legs were up on the wall, oh happy days 2 and half yrs of sport birds booze with a little bit of bullshit

[caessarion]

its 89 Im in St Marteen, on a 2 day pan am vaca, this is cranken on the tape deck, and I'm about to crash into a stone wall, because that was as good as it would ever get.

[Rentaghost76]

Early 80s, best days of my life! So many great bands around, so many different sounds and styles. I had a 30 inch waist, all my hair, loads of mates and birds and the future lay before us everything was possible (or so we thought)

Then it all went to s h i t, and I now have to fight within myself to drag my middle aged body out of bed and off to a job I hate, to pay for stuff I don't really want or need in a world getting crazier by the day. I weep for those times, places and people lost now..

[4isenuf]

@ davenight. God yes! Please transport me now - somebody!!

[Edna7783]

[fitzpatrickgf]

All of their songs are timeless. I still have them on cassette and I really need to get up to date and get their whole catalog on cd especially after hearing this song. Man! the memories come right back to me whenever I hear their songs.

[camarotoro]

love this song!

[tedsund]

I would give the rest of my life for a week back then.

[budgie63]

Probably not just simple Minds , but one of my favorite tracks of all time!

[clemstevenson]

Ultra smooth track. Love it!

[gherison]

è sempre troppo bella sta canzone!! e i Simple Minds pur persi nel passato hanno saputo far la storia del sound anni 80!

[rob4b]

[tref1fan]

god... what a sexxxy song.....

[marcoilbiauto66]

[martinmary100]

Het blijft een prachtig nummer, ons nummer, heerlijke herinneringen

[gregrocker2]

As good as synth gets. Still wish guitars showed up.

[draemegolan]

[JimiZv]

Grandi Simple Minds :D

[a217andy]

[ronaldvanderkleij]

[whiteflag1000]

Timeless...

[amber19801]

My BEST SONG !!!!!!!!!!!! Love this music band, I want them to play again

[gurra1351]

Simple wonderful song!

[DAVEYBOND007]

This was before all that Rave Dance shit. The One and Only Simple Minds !

[m149598]

God this song is lush. I'm racking my mind wondering who sampled the intro.. some dance act - Orbital?

[Fyuw4cher]

@m149598

Utah Saints

[m149598]

@Fyuw4cher Thanks for that.

[sweetassugar69]

@m149598 it was usura with open your mind fella !!!

[m149598]

@sweetassugar69 Ta!

[desanruth]

they were/are huge, I take it you've never seen them live ???

[doddy11767]

classic, they should have kicked on from this and been huge, such a shame they did'nt

[TheAnimalviking]

Totaly brillinant! as the whole album!

[ecoseed1]

to a1m7e7r6ica: me too. the memories alone are addicting.

[mecasohoy]

burning bridge and ecstasy, crashing beats and fantasy!!!

[4isenuf]

The SIMPLE MINDS wording in yellow at 0.20 all inter-mingled together is just like when I get a migraine. Quite like it though!

[4isenuf]

This song brings back SO MANY MEMORIES! How can people be so talented to write such an amazing song? It just makes me feel so free and ecstatic. It will never date. So glad I've been alive to listen to this song since it was released.

[durgaaa]

This was my Soundtrack to my dive into chains and my uprise to Freedom during exactly those years! What a Powerful Echo of those formidable years. Truly the soundtrack for a fabulous film !

[lp32862]

God kicked us a bone with this song. Epic , eternal song.....a song that makes you think about the past and future and how struggle life can be. And the hope for a better life.

[siasti]

These guys may call themselves "Simple Minds" but their music is sophisticated...

[davenight]

Summer time in the park I used to be good looking lots of girls and booze, in the park with this album. Please god before I die transport me back Its fucking shite nowadays carefree and Mortgage free then and no fucking (Radical) Muslims and Asylum seekers, white trash, and fucking layabouts and Chavs!!!

The world is fucked now wish I could go back 81.82,83,84!! Cheers!!!!!!!

[siasti]

@davenight Great comment, Dave. I'm sure many balding guys with paunches, nagging wives, grizzling kids and mortgages completely understand your plea!

[Rentaghost76]

@davenight

Couldn't agree more mate, I can't believe how much better my life was back then even though I was "poorer"... would go back in a heartbeat if offered the channce

[oswald1068]

@davenight

80's have been the top of western civilazation...after the roman empire!

[whitejellyfungus]

I gotta have more cowbell baby!

[angelaharlem]

@whitejellyfungus i love the cowbell, it needs to be LOUD!!!!!!!!!

[gianka9574]

bellissimo

[YYZSkinhead]

Awesome shot at 4:08 of Mel Gaynor smiling, something he usually doesn't do in pictures and videos. The first time I saw Mr Gaynor playing live he was playing New Gold Dream. The song brings tears to my eyes.

[4isenuf]

@YYZSkinhead Yeah, nice to see his face and this song makes me tearful too since it's so bloody good.

[andysllt]

lets go back in time to 80 81 82 83 84 85 etc best decade ever ive even got a mk1 and mk2 golf gti to settle in with

[linusfualinus]

chida

[TheSodiumhaze]

OMG! How much do I love this!!! The Best!!

[alipgee71]

I love these big sounds songs of the 80's, U2, simple minds, icehouse etc. You just need a good stereo, a soft top car and a long road in the desert!

[Pazito114]

the movie informers SUCKS. But the movie´s OST is awesome.

[MasterFrederik]

I like Usura - Open your Mind more.

[sweetassugar69]

@MasterFrederik fuck off lol you are off your rocker with this comment

[homenation]

:-)  FAIL

[kaise7]

i was not actually emptying bins, i was speaking metaphorically.......making a point about the dominant ideology......from your user name though u are most likely female ergo missing my oblique reference supplanting with something subjectively emotive as you do..

[Boudosaved]

I like turtles.

[djscotty1111]

@kaise7 ;))))))  '~' Touche !

[kaise7]

hey i dont need anyone to defend me nor do i need to wind my neck in, you sound like the one experiencing some kind of anxiety.........

[termin9r]

@madkat1981 .;.;.;.;. thats funny - this is the first CD I bought for my first shiny new CD player back in the 80ssssssssss....

[deanster57]

great stuff-tori

[TheDebraknight]

Just watched a Dvd "the Informers" Wow this Simple Minds song was the starters. My heart longed for those days again. I watched those gorgeous boys in their suits and black glasses.  My heart skipped a thousand beats. After the movie I jumped onto my laptop and played all Simple Minds songs. Those were the best days, but how I would do things so differently. Dus is life!!

[Persephonie22]

@TheDebraknight I miss the style of the 80's so much. It was so cool, very pretty & classy. When I saw the movie The Informers I thought the samething. As in any movies of the 80's I feel the same. =)~

[71Zagi]

Yeeeeessss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tref1fan]

@TheDebraknight - i did the same on thurs, i believe...(jun 2011) that beginning was what kept me watching the entire movie....cheers!

[DAZA1965]

Yes 88qiflow same as me what a fantastic time we had and how i miss it !

[88qiflow]

81,82,83,84...16,17,18,19 old i was and yeahh i dressed myself in a new wave..this album i remember driving my first car 83 and listening to this...big hugh to all who was with me ...no iam 44...but still reflect myself and get the same feelings....

[MrGariac]

A tribute of Someone somewhere in Summertime on gariac myspace popmusik. Come and enjoy.

[retsiembrU]

yeah your mom, now bug off looser kid

[BurgundyPlush]

Hadn't heard this song in maybe 18 years and it popped in my mind the other day and I HAD to hear it. Wow! Totally stands the test of time! I was in college when this song came out, the 80's were fab, NYC, lower east side, King Tut's Wawa Hut across from Tomkins Square Park. OMG the memories, the clubs, THE MUSIC was amazing. 92.7 WDRE/WLIR played all this music, wish we still had that radio station.

[august251976]

Ministry of Sound have just released an album with 60, 80's tracks on it, this and 'promise you a miracle' are two tracks which are on it. I recommend the album, has al the 80's classics on it.

[twin020275]

Totally, 100% agree with august251976, this album is "THE DOG'S BOLLOX"

[madkat1981]

i bought that cd last week and its class!!!

[novamusicable]

THIS is the original version that I once bought via the analogue record. This great smooth, building intro. THIS IS IT!

[a1m7e7r6ica]

i wish it was '81,'82,'83, or '84 again.

[univerzijada1]

Me too,unforgetable years!

[elveggoloco]

@a1m7e7r6ica

Me too. I was just a teen kid then...sure would love to relive it at a more free age!

[RayRoark2009]

@a1m7e7r6ica Me to lol, even 80, 85-89.

[Andsaca1]

@a1m7e7r6ica Oh God Yes, i wish it was. this album is getting some high rise volume on my record deck tomorrow, The eighties were a great time to be alive and young!!

[DollyBright]

@a1m7e7r6ica I agree I just wish we were back in the 80s any time will do as long as I get to know and remember what I know now!!

As for changing things - well wouldn't we all!!

[dihsruhk]

heard it in the movie (THE INFORMERS)

[alexander8et]

17 years old v6 capri cheap insurance no council tax and this song life was effin wonderfull no one will know how good the 80s was 4 me JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJBEST TIMES JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ

[opinion100]

WOW! Brings back so many memories!!!

[Boudosaved]

like that time, in band camp...

[opalo99999]

extraordinario tema ......oro puro de los 80s

[MattDeathStroke]

Been reading a lot of Bret Easton Ellis, making me wish I could experience 80's LA or NY.

[TYTMaverick]

The 80's were a great time, people were happy the 70's were over and we got real fashion happening !

No where's my asymmetric shirt gone....

[0lightbulb0]

I truly wish I lived in the eighties. I mean, not just the music makes me think that. Who knows, things just look like fun.

[MattDeathStroke]

I wasn't even a thought in my parents minds. I wish I'd lived in the eighties.

[doodeloo]

i lived in the eighties- it wasn't that great- there were some good bands, like simple minds, but they didn't get much airplay- the majority of which was taken up by the likes of michael jackson, madonna, and huey lewis and the news--

[sweetassugar69]

not in the uk my friend !! we had real bands !!!

[thewanderingshrew]

I agree, all the best bands most people never even heard.

[HypnoToad72]

doodeloo - very true. Huey Lewis was cool, but the others were just empty pop fodder. Well, Michael Jackson actually had talent and didn't resort to s l e a z e to get anywhere in life...

[BorlandRIP7]

I was 13 and this song is still shivering

[TranceKontrol]

I was a freshmen at a HUGE Pac-10 University, and this was our unofficial fraternity house song. Great time with no responsibilities, man how time speeds along, fantastic memories this song brings back!

[Bulliherrchen]

Die beste Musik aller Zeiten, das waren die 80er und die schönste Zeit im Leben, begleitet mich seit dem und das wird sich nie ändern.

[MrMrmercedes]

I was working on Wall St. when this came out, knocking down 7 figures a year, knocking down 30 yr.old scotch...great days

[miamad]

Don't forget about the coke... we were all doing it.

[kaise7]

I was emptying dustbins making money to cloth and feed my kids from the scrap I could salvage..........now were both watching u tube simple minds videos...u figure it out...........

[sweetassugar69]

@kaise7 it all comes full circle for everybody in the end fella ! life is short and smell the flowers while you can !!!

[kaise7]

@sweetassugar69 ; you say that like your talking to someone who does not already do so !

[sweetassugar69]

@kaise7 actually i was defending you so wind your neck back in lol its about life not about you

[doodeloo]

hey, in this economic climate, you're not supposed to advertise how much money you made on wall street, just a tip... lol but good for you anyway- cheers

[sanfranbohemian]

Just close your eyes , it can transport you!One of the best!! I rember getting that exstended vinyl , unwrapping it and dropping the needle for the fist time.Fucking brilliant.

[sanfranbohemian]

crap, spelling mistakes, sorry ,I hope you get the Idea of the text.

[salparadise1971]

Along with Sons and Fascination New Gold Dream was Simple Minds at the absolute height of their powers.27 years later it still sounds absolute brilliant.

[silviofaina]

sarete sempre i numeri 111111111111111111111111111111­111111111111111111111111111111

[colla273]

IL vero suono degli anni 80 meravigliosi

[bajen3]

YEA, simple the BEST!!!!

[mcv3igh]

im 25 years old...this song fucks me up so much....its sad i will never expirence such brilliance in my life time. beyond brilliant.

[Zangetzu33]

Don't worry dude, i heard once that the man with the most freedom is the pirate king. if he 80's remind you so much freedom, then we'll wait for the pirate king if we cannot become One.

[sweetassugar69]

the greatest record ever put to vinyl ! THE ONE AND ONLY SIMPLE MINDS

[indienick2]

I'll take this album to the grave with me,

the second proper album I ever bought as a 15 year old in 1982. haunting stuff, it will never be equalled, timeless classic, still sounds as good today as it did all them years ago. Pure masterclass. What the poor youngsters today have to put up with today !

Happy days early 80's.

[DAVIDRCGRAY]

This song is a bona fide classic, No doubt, Cheers.

[wozzzurp]

for me..New Gold Dream is the best song ever..

[davenight]

This album is quit simply a masterpiece, the production is silky smooth and the music and lyrics are sensational!

It sears above everything forbes bass is driving this whole album Unreal!!!!!!!!!!!

[bobhosta]

Every song on the album is terrific

[kaltemilch1]

du ahnungsloser...

[tron67de]

"New Gold Dream" is the best album ever made.

Reminds me of the best times of my life.

[joghyjobie]

you have written the same as i would have done,,

[urbmeister]

my 1984, these were memories of GOLD!

[gtopete]

This is awesome :)

[datfunk69]

from scotland too!!!!! scotland has so much to be proud of!!!!! this is unreal!!!!! there are parts of this track that are just too good for words!!! Simple as! Pardon the pun..heho

[catblanket14uk]

Bugger it, let's just say something for a brilliant band from my end of Glasgow... WOW. What a SONG... 81 82 83 84...

[saleutd22]

Nostalgia is beautiful gift,thankyou for this timeless piece.

[guzziv503]

nostalgia is not wot it used to be

[death2hiphopnRnB]

Au contraire. Nostalgia is timeless, and this is a perfect example of it. You honestly enjoy suffering todays musical shite?

[panamaniak]

panamanian luv to SM!

[woodyfurball]

Gawd, its soo good, But how has time went on, it goes Fast soo enjoy class when it comes your way, Memories are cheap, but living the Memories is REAL, Mr Kerr I soo have tried to dance like you at soo Many New Year Parties, I reckon after 10 beers I am you. Should get rid of Strictly Come Dancing and let people on who can pogo / skip (aka Skids) dance the night away

[timen38]

this music is timeless,one of my favourite bands and especially this song is taken of one of the best albums all time!

[LaurentDenis44]

Awesome song! Awesome band! Reminds me my youth...

[deanster57]

i love this group-tori

[etmoi12]

my first album.

i was 16.

super 25 years later....

[kue197]

From an Australian fan - Simple Minds is one of the greatest bands ever. Soundtrack of my youth.

[daveparsons52]

greatest 80's album of the 20th century.

[druidess01]

still a beautiful song.

[driesr63]

So I can hope For J.Kirr. I only wished we heard more about him now but it's quit still arround him and his band in comparisson to for example Queen, Bowie...I wish him success because he deserves it. His band played a major role in my youth, his music was as written for me but then again, "les gouts et les couleurs se ne discutte pas". anyway, their music helped me a lot to feel comfort, arranged, out of the blue, there was only one problem, my partner couldn't comprehend it so it became...

[driesr63]

I still can't comprehend why they didn't make it. They were the best I ever heard when I was 18. Miss them

[jaseywasey49]

To be fair they didn't have a bad career.

[etmoi12]

they rae still singing you know!!

[maryshelleysman]

Scotland produces poets.....thank Christ....from Harry Lauder to Jim Kerr to Billy MacKenzie....beautiful poets who

understand strife and suffering. This music makes me

want to dance with everyone on earth.

[Scrobbler]

LS83, you're quite right, it was 84. I'd parked my car in an NCP, and couldn't remember what level - they were closing at about midnight and I was working in Colwyn Bay that year, had to be in work for 8am the next day. What a night!

[Scrobbler]

Saw these live in Liverpool 82 (or was it 83?) they were supreme, even though the PA gear packed up half way through. If this song doesn't rock you, surely nothing ever will!

[LadySleek83]

maybe it was 84? LOL

[stamazon61]

So Sexy. If you think so i have total respect for your taste. Most are not on the same page as we are.

[newgolddream]

Hear Hear well said mate!

Love from

The siren and the ecstasy (81-82-83-84)x

[4712POMMES]

I'm completely addicted to this song.

But I dont need help. It's nice!

For hours...days...and not that soft..

Thanks grayham37 for posting this piece of quality of life !!

(Sometimes I'm wondering if neighbors are affected in this quality.)

[chipmonkette]

No greater orgasm could be reached than by listening to Simple Minds and more great legends from the early 80's!! Absolute Ear Sex.... Jeez, Bring it back... for Someone's sakes!!!

[theswedex]

Absolutely, I lost my cherry to this album.

[jazzymermaid]

best music -- best time

Open air In der Eifel/Nürburgring

Superlife concert

left Simple Minds

the second Bühne ...the Cure ; right side

Great

Marvelous

best feelings :)

[trailgoat]

Another one of those songs from my youth that sends chills down my spine every time I hear it. I'm immediately taken back when I hear Mr. Kerr proclaim "81, 82, 83, 84"!!! The constant low-fi bass line totally melts me. This is right up there with Heaven 17's "Let Me Go" and Gang of Four's "Is It Love"!!!

[tabbykat9]

I agree with you! this song is so perfect and amazing. It does give me chills everytime I hear this song, I never get tired of listening to it.

[tabbykat9]

I agree with you! this song is so perfect and amazing. It does give me chills everytime I hear this song, I never get tired of listening to it.

[pilatso]

Trailgoat,

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Chills, and tears for me....I play Gang of Four's "Is it Love" constantly...trying to recapture the moments. The memories are trememdous...ah to be young again !!!

: )

[HARVEYNICOLLS]

Taken from one of the best albums of the 80's and still holds up with today,excellent

[KillahMate]

Every time I listen to this I wish there was a cheesy-awesome 80s sci-fi/fantasy adventure film made with this on the soundtrack. Roger Dean's album covers come to mind; also, a little Frazetta. Thing is, the association is always there: alien princesses, shining spacecraft, strange landscapes, synthesizers... and I have no idea where I got it from - I heard this song for the first time like a year ago!

[mimars78]

Una delle mie canzoni preferite.. Poche musiche mi hanno coinvolto così tanto. Possiede un'energia eccezionale. Per usare le parole dello stesso Jim Kerr: "una vetta creativa"

[ggh7664]

Sono d'accordo.

Penso che questa conzone sia perfetta.

(Non ho parlato l'italiano per 20+ anni. Spero che mi hai capito.

[mimars78]

Chiarissimo!

[theswedex]

Si, ho capito.

[greenbully1]

watch them live or listen to a track - absolutely awesome simple minds every single time. 81.82.83.84.

[tabbykat9]

This has got to be one of the best songs I've ever heard. It's one of my all time favorite songs!!!!!!!!

[Herogue]

It's a great song.

[jakobfrederik]

This song in my mind totally described both the exciting creative promise and both the totally empty and disappointing materialism of the eighties.
