AS THE LYRICS SAYS ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE 80S WE HAD THE BEST BANDS SOMETHING TO KEEP WITH US THE FORTUNATE ONE WHO HAVE WITNES THERE CONCERT ENJOYED WHAT WILL BE REMEMBER THE BEST TEN YEARS OF THE LAST CENTURY
Going to see them the week before glasto. I dont give a shit how old they are, as long as they play the good stuff. Some of the best tunes of the 80's, for me.
Yes, once upon a time it was quite common to hear great & awesome sounding music such as this playing on the radio, several times a day! How sweetly nostalgic & euphoric inducing in the best way possible! Also, if the past 10 years are any sign as to how music is gonna sound for the rest of this century than we're in big fucking trouble! Bring back the 80's, in all of its undiminished Glory & Vibrancy!

There was a lot of shit music in the 80's but people forgot...And a lot of people use to listen to those shits. Few were listening to real good things, and it is the same now.
There are really good things around at the moment but who has the time to look for them apart from teenagers?
When music becomes art - the rarest thing now when even the instruments are replaced by computer technology - you nevertheless instantly recognise those real gems from earlier days; like gold they stand every test of time brilliantly, and that even after many, many years manage to give you those goosebumps - that´s when you know this is music for a lifetime; the sign of a very great masterpiece.
Und warum gibt es heute nur noch Scheiss-Musik? Weil alles auf Kommerz und auf Sex-Sells aus ist. Eine Band wie Simple Minds hätte in ihren Anfängen heute überhaupt keine Chance mehr. Ich bin mir sicher, dass es auch heute noch Künstler gibt, die diesen hohen Standard erfüllen aber niemand möchte sie haben. Willkommen in der Spassgesellschaft, in der sich alles nur noch ums schnelle Vergnügen ohne Tiefgang dreht!
You are completely right. I started listening to them when I was 14 in the early 80's as a friend of mine made me know them and I go on listening. They are absolutely incredible. I remember I bought one of their LP in Germany
So fucking good its scary. I have listened to this song well over a few hundred times and it NEVER loses its emotional impact... Love the melancholy beginning and end and the happy middle.
