Simple Minds are a awesome band!!! They still sound great after all these years. It is good that they don't try to change because a lot of bands their voices are dead and they try to make it sound like they use to sound.
if jim kerr wants a UK number 1 then sing this song as a duet with U2, this will also silence the ongoing debate of U2 Vs SImple Minds as the truth is that U2 and simple minds bear no hard feeling towards each other, only the fans do
@gazzatopdude1 WHAT?! Look dear i think that Simple Minds doing great without any duet with U2 nor Bono.
I'm proud to be SM fans,i don't need surely U2.Maybe some fans should simply quite the comparison?Since i think that Kerr has much more value soul style talent and class than Bono will ever has in all his entire life.
Great stuff this new album. I've never heard a Simple Minds song before this came out, and for a band that's supposedly 30 years old it's great that these new songs sound so fresh and new.
WELL! I was starting to think that Simple Minds had lost their luster for me. But this album has polished them up again for me. This is a great track. I've learnt something about myself tonight. Thanks guys.
And by the way after looking more on the comments... Just because Simple minds do a great song it doesnt mean that U2 Sucks!! U2 is still great, If you like simple minds you can pretty much call yourself a U2 and Coldplay fan to because they make similar music that is amazing. Though simple minds arent that famous they are just as good as both U2 and Coldplay but not so much better and i think that it isnt allways good to be the most famous and popular band so GO SIMPLE MINDS.And U2 And Colplay
You make a great point, but just one thing .. I think Simple Minds are actually quiiiittteeee famous .. just a bit .. possibly equally as famous as U2. If you think about it logically, they've had a huge number of hits; Don't you forget about me (The Breakfast Club theme), Alive and Kicking, Belfast Child - the list is endless. They're a fantastic band.
Realemente yo no escuchaba demasiado a esta banda a pesar de haber tenido buenas referencias, que cocteau twins haya sacado su nombre de un tema de ellos ya es bastante ...la verdad este disco si ha captado mi atencion a sobremanera explorare sus trabajos anteriores con mas conciencia..Graffiti Soul... discazo
THE MINDS ROCK, they performed this track In Aberdeen (AECC) 12/12/09 and rocked the house, easily Scotlands best band and one of the best in the world for performing live. U2 ! the MINDS are back.
Sorry I have to disagree with you all. I can`t compare this to their early stuff, nowhere in the same league. I`ve now heard this track and Rockets and think they are both rather bland.
Nice track. I think its great how Simple Minds failed to evolve into something other than the exact same sound they are famous for. They have not changed a single bit. and that will keep old fans happy but it does them no credit to their reputation by being unable to progress in any direction and sound like they did during their 1980s hey day.
Simple minds are a Great band why should they chnage there music they doing what they know best, i love this song best song i heard in ages. Obviously you mate have a problem with simple minds, and what you said about jim kerr is a disgrace
This isn't an official video or a single, the album cover has simply been used as a background for this album track. Both members of Simple Minds have plenty of money, which reflects over 30 years of excellence in the music industry.
Original, inventive, catchy and infectious tunes for those who can appreciate it. Great bass and guitars. Drums are always good with the Minds. Superb album. I am really taken back by the quality of the songs. Thought they were done, but the Minds are back. Hope they tour the States. Buy it, it won't disappoint from begining to the end.
Sounds like the origional line up did get back together for this track!I for one am looking forward to hearing this live in dec-please play some tracks off sons and fascination/sister feelings call too!!!Well done Charlie for revisiting the textural roots of the minds!
They played this track last week in Berlin, was excellent, I think Duffy is by far the best post Derek, he keeps the Forbes sound alive, although he's his own man, if you had shut the eyes in Berlin it could well have been Forbes on stage.
Black&White gave huge hope for better times and GS makes dreams come true. I guess we can stop the discussion about Mick and Derek. We've got Eddy. And Charlie has put some real great keyboard lines together. Especially in this track. After 20.000 times listening to this song it's still awesome.
The best track on the Graffiti Soul album, this song would make a mindblowing intro when the Minds come to Edinburgh Castle. Jim Kerr has never sounded better. It would be sheer perfection if Derek Forbes and Mick McNeil could rejoin the band - nevertheless the new album is absolutely sensational - The Greatest Live Band on the Planet bar none
This song is awesome. Especially the part from 3.49. SM is the best band in the world. They deserve a no. 1 place in the charts with this album. Can't recall the time that I felt such kind of vibe about a new album.
