[MrBloodjob]

slumdog millionnaire

[maskman1980]

The Scots, the Irish, impart a very special character to their music. I'm in sync with it.

[maskman1980]

Trance, trance.......what a groove, love it.

[leedumett444]

fuck the X factor, this is real music, an artform.

[robin9997]

[allforjs]

Any-one any-two any-three any-four !!!!!!!!!

[kbinco]

The 80's were the best, no question.

[stopthesoftkill]

This song makes me want to be around in the 80's. The modern era is a shit time to live in, in comparison

[1860george]

simple minds the best rock group from the 80s they blow u2 and all others out of the water, with amazing lyrics and amazing musical arrangements

[robin9997]

@1860george ...if you like this......you may like a band called Big Country?...Another Scottish band, in case you didn't know?

[foggycityguy]

I remember being stoned with some friends in a dark dorm room, listening to this song and crying.

[blueeyedlatino]

Jim stays the best , i'm 52 and i 've seen a lot of their concerts all around Europa , my best remember was Torhout festival in Belgium and Bercy in 84

[finnhansson]

just type simple mind roskilde festival 1983

[finnhansson]

They played at the Roskilde Festival 1983 in Denmark, and i remembered that they went on stage saturday morning to do a soundchek, and people came from everywere to listen. droppede their breakfast a went towards the Orange Stage,Charles Burchill the guitarist played some riffs that sounded out of this world.That night they went on stage and turned the hole festival arround and it is still one of the best concert ever to be performed on Roskilde Festival. 27 years gone by but I was there

[annegrisedale]

just love the track, awesome

[nono84ist]

@annegrisedale yes trop bon

[hughesy45108]

September 13th 1982 NGD was released.....nearly 30 years later the lyrics, "she is your friend until the bitter end" and "when you dream dreaming the dream with me" still get my emotions flowing like no other lyrics ever had....timeless. Listen to Kerrs voice on the dvd audio version of NGD, it will blow you away.

[kuhl007]

Simply put:  Awesome music!!

[steeplepossum39]

I can remember the first time I heard this song and I was 25 and it"s very rare for me to love a song the first time I hear it I have The albumn and cd because I could never get sick of it.I feel its a song I will never tire from listening to it.The only other song that had effect on me was Stairway to heaven.

[terrextra]

enjoying memorys, sitting down here in mexico, shaking and singing, the 80 are great

[devotee1965]

DAGU ROAD STYLE

[wagsouza]

GOOD !

[Johnnyonthemoon]

Great !!!! Simple Minds on their best !

[AllRockClassic]

In 1982 they released the album "New Gold Dream (81, 82, 83, 84), produced by Peter Walsh, which constitutes a major turning point in their history.

[brinojuly]

Empire and Dance, Sons and Fascination & New Gold Dream...three classics. After that they went downhill yet got famous! Thats how U2 made it ahead of S.M. & Echo & The Bunnymen...people have CRAP taste!

[slorta]

I can't believe this riff was created way back when. I loved Usura's open your mind till I heard this yesterday...now I can't even listen to any other version.

[puppypickles]

Top Drawer

[robin9997]

FUCKIN QUALITY TUNE SIMPLE AS THAT!!!

[gordonw01]

@robin9997 Indeed Sir !!!

[ariskapas]

open ur mind ;)

hahahaha

[TheDepeche68]

klasse ande580...ich bin ü40..sozusagen quasi aufgewachsen mit der Musik von den simple Minds.

find ich super das so junge Menschen wie Du solche Musik auch mögen..heut wird ja gecastet wat das zeug hält..aber das ist nicht von dauer...die besten kommen nun mal von der Insel...U2..Depeche mode etc.

[Abrakebabra]

Inspired Usura a bit, this one.

[thesermon31]

thx.



[ande580]

Für mich einer der besten Songs überhaupt. Als 14-17 jähriger!

[scotfree72]

The sound of Glasgow!

[ramsey633]

saw them supporting magazine theatre royal drury lane they were brill then

[LuckyPSD]

Nope its nogood, no matter how much I listen to this I still hear Usura - Open Your Mind :-P

[stoltmain123]

het is gewoon een van de bestte bands ter wereld samen met U2 ik zou ze nog wel eens live willen zien denk dat het een spektakel wordt die twee samen

grtz rotterdam holland

[stoltmain123]

its my favorit song long time

[MrSambroute83]

THIS TRACK DOES NOT AGE !



[khorrumg]

A great album...I grew up listening to this album have owned it about three times on vinyl format.....twice on CD....I love the production....Forbes Bass is amazing...its just before Gaynor's insidious thumping drowned out Forbes great work. (Sparkle in The Rain)....They should never have let him into the band!!! Seriously...this album was a great record.

[DubiousMixer]

Usura - Open Your Mind

[streetglide2011]

ANTON VOOR JOU, IK MIS JE.

[AllRockClassic]

The album is a work of great maturity,

we could say perfect, which formally ends a constant growth of the Group!

[bluewolfe96]

The version i really like is from ( Live in the city of light ) album,its slower than this and they have refined it a bit better.!

[khorrumg]

@bluewolfe96 Sorry..with the greatest of respect....disagree completely!! The song was from their best period...by 1986 there was no finese to their songs and they had sold to the yanks....even had a soul singer as their backing singer......and yet 1982...they were fashionable.......trendy...you­ng and full of class....what a tragedy!

[bluewolfe96]

@khorrumg

Know what you mean its just that i personally like the city of light version because it brings back certain memories of that era.The problem is that most bands sell out when they become popular look at U2, used to love them but after the Joshua tree album they became very mainstream and not as raw as the albums before Joshua. Its a real shame REAL bands dont get the chance to make it in the music industry any more because of the manufactured crap that seems to ooze like a bad puss.

[khorrumg]

@bluewolfe96 U r right.I could not agree more. Its true certain songs, certain versions of a song bring back certain feelings,songs are after all emotive...they capture a certain mood, feelings between people,.so I do not blame you for liking that version, you are entitled to like anything...hey its a free country and all that. But you are very right, bands, most bands sell out. Take care. All the very best regards..and keep enjoying the music!

New Gold Dream (81, 82, 83, 84) is the fifth studio album by Scottish band Simple Minds, released in 1982 by Virgin Records.

the best of the best

[MrDemilord]

@AllRockClassic yes and no, in that time yes, but now they merged, sons and fascination / including sister feelings call. then it makes 4...

But yes for that time it was the 5th album

[cymrutroll]

Usuru - Open your mInd 1993

[centralscrutinizer66]

Simple Minds had a sound so big I can only describe it as " cathedral" almost like mid-period Soundgarden tried to achieve. Up on the catwalk is staggering.

[1860george]

@centralscrutinizer66 they blew u2 and depeche mode out of the water with their sheer talent and creativity

[ievenska]

open your mind...

[zweirver]

@ievenska all along the way

[philipscotland]

im 52 >on way on holiday to London from Arbroath and played it on my friens headfones superb

[camarotoro]

it's funny how a song is like time travel...cool song and i like the guitar player in simple minds...awsome.

[MrUltrax77]

Excelente tema solo en los ochenta donde mas

[ariskapas]

OPEN UR MIND !!!

amazing 80's track

[Poppycaine]

i recall a niteclub called Raw Power ~3 miles North of the Alamo back in '83 - '84. An amazing DJ, "Scox," ,danced to songs he was spinning, like Simple Minds and other enlightened music of the day ... whilst fulfilling his DJ duties. Scott, aka "Scox" was a huge 6'6" ox with avante garde garb' and a flock of new wave artistic types. They breathed life into that dive. I wonder if anyone else recalls those days?

[leedumett444]

magical.

[thefaithyouprove]

I had this on gold vinyl. Such good days for music.

[zagi1971]

[scaramonga1]

Well mastered album and will stand the test of time for at least another 20 years. Definitely their best work ever.

[ChristopherA69]

I Love it !

New Gold Dream (the Album) is brilliant, I bought it the day it was released way back in the early 80s.. saw them supporting u2 in phoenix park in Dublin in 1983 alongside Big Country and the Eurythmics.. Simple Minds were the band of the day.. I clearly remember them performing ''Someone, Somewhere in Summer time'' .. it was an amazing day.. u2 were great that day but Simple Minds shinned brighter.

[shwemsly]

@ChristopherA69 Nice!

[brinojuly]

@ChristopherA69 I remember that gig .They started with Waterfront. After them Bono came out and I left.!

[pvanputten1]

doet me weer denken aan de kuip ergens in 88 geloof ik!

super!

[MrDemilord]

@pvanputten1 moet 89 zijn geweest, 88 deden ze de mandela concert en cash for kids in engeland voor de rest geen tour gedaan

[pvanputten1]

@MrDemilord oke'was wel werelds!

daarna nog en keer in de staten hallen in Den Haag.

[Thatwasthesummerofsv]

JUST HOW GOOD IS THIS...!!!

[philipscotland]

the cream of SCOTLAND;

[NotAJaffa]

The live version of this was brilliant!

[Sascopa]

I was 7 when I last heard this...I'm 21 now, and heard it today on the radio for the first time in 14 years. The intro hit me like a ton of bricks...the memories of dancing about our front room without a care in the world, the sun shining, my older brother pretending to be too cool to like it :D Happy times... but then how things can change :( this track made me cry like a kid as I realised how precious music like this is; able to freeze perfect moments in musical form forever :') Magic

[westexpress1]

@Sascopa nice reminiscing...music is so powerful..enjoyed reading your thoughtful comments!

[dmp160170]

@Sascopa Lovely comment and know exactly what you mean.

I have the same vision back in the 80s when the album came out.

I would have been 11 i think when my brother bought it.

Beautiful track from a legendry album.

[lorenmansfield]

@Sascopa Your post is both eloquent and relateable. Goosebumps up my arms.

[emFire101]

@Sascopa comment like this ,makes this song much better ! good man :)

[divasfever]

80s sound....IRREPLEACEABLE

[hollybank80]

Great sound, intoxing beat.......still

[vermeml]

This album was released in 1982, the same year the first CD player was commercialized. So that will be 30 years ago next year. I still remember it as if it was yesterday. I bought it on vinyl, I played it over and over and over again, it was so beautiful. I might still have that album somewhere up my attic.The amazing thing is, that today after almost 30 years, it still is as beautiful as it was back then.

[brismike65]

@vermeml spot on and well said, the only album that is better by 1% is Dare by the Human League, but this is equal best album of all time

[andFRANKIEonly]

30 Years ago - in all this time i ask myself: were Simple Minds inspired by the Soundtrack of "Catpeople" or Girogio Moroder in the ohter way...

[mandrake1278]

bellissimi ricordi 1988 discoteca j&j lido scacchi comacchio

[jackiedk1]

que guapo.....

[spunkets]

It is a beautifully produced/conceived/executed album.

It wasn't just the music either, it had something to do with how all the members of the band looked like beautiful young hairless boys. Is that an appropriate appraisal?

Dreamy, bright, no doubt upper middle-class.

Confident. Latest technology at their beck and call.

Its beautiful.

[andybdm]

@spunkets jackiedk- They were actually working class boys brought up in the gritty poor housing estates of Glasgow. There is nothng remotely middle class about these boys.

@andybdm

How do you know?
