@timtaylor97044

Hop on board sir, and join the party! :)

[wyldchyld76]

Ahh, the good old 80s! Someone PLEASE build me a time machine!

[Pullisto]

@wyldchyld76 Yeh reckon, Where's old Doc Brown and his De Lorean eh, get me outta here back to the 80s. That movie (Back to The Future, pt 1) came out around the same time this hit started to climb the charts (late 1985).

Went to Simple Minds Concert in November 1986, totally dynamic, especially the drumming, my ears rang for 2 days afterwards.

[wyldchyld76]

@Pullisto

Yeah, get Doc Brown on the phone and tell him to get that damn DeLorean ready! :D

[dreadknot69]

The part at 3:20 is in a Fringe episode. When Walter brings his son back up from the water.

[smithdvr]

anyone who was into these in the 80`s was also a u2 fan.

both groups was at the top of there game back then.

and big country was a good runner up

[TheJohnlennongirl]

@smithdvr your right on! I miss the 1980's before things got bad all over again in the world for jobs.

[cirus101]

@smithdvr hells yea...u2, tff, duran duran, aha, berlin,ultravox, simple minds, pet shop boys..plenty more..new wave rules

[hhaiar]

i love this song

[DaveWollenberg]

Billboard's #17 song of '86. SM hit #2 rock, #3 pop, in the US. How'd they do in the UK? God bless!

[droopusmaximus]

The reason this track sounds like it does is not the drummer, but the engineer who mixed this, Bob Clearmountain. The man is an engineer god.

[laggie24]

Brilliant band expresses so many things to me ... . so special .... appreciate this great sound quality here....from Budaopest

[Upritebass]

@laggie24 So true, Laggie, so True. Me too. :-)

[SATIS10001]

I feel happy to be born in an era were music was music

[Biggator70]

I know this could be taken out of context but......just sit back, close your eyes and smile. This song brings back a lot of good memories.

[videovictim3]

@Biggator70 dude, you are so right on. good days, good times. ah, sweet memories!!!!!!

[Squab1972]

[amyrobinson111]

I love this!!

[nema1218]

I agree,I always thought Simple Minds were similar to U2 in sound,no other group in the 80's seemed so similar.Jim Kerr's vocals are very reminiscent of Bono's,and the overall music.Simple Minds were huge in the UK and Europe,too bad they quickly faded from the U.S.I really like "All The Things She Said",my fav!

[Bulldog9691]

When i first heard this song i thought it was U2, sound similar to me, finally i discover that was simple minds

[nema1218]

@Bulldog9691

You are very right,Simple Minds and U2 were similar in sound.

[ant8tfive]

YOU TURN ME ON

[ZillaFighter123]

this song just started my morning

[reecenolan]

the greatest scottish band ever in my opinion

[efrenchen]

classic

[djscotty1111]

When I got the 12" of " Theme from Great Cities " I knew then I was a Fan of

Simple Minds until the end. Alive, is one of my favourite songs I would tweak my Sound system @ The Twilight Zone until the highs would make your hairs stand up, and the bass would envelop you remember settings then I was ready for the night !

Thanks to "Simple Minds" and always ...respect to the female singer in this song.

[MrDrummerboy1962]

One of the best songs of the 80's in my book. A classic!

[jedia2m]

Love this track and band takes me back when I used to help my uncle wash his corvette!!

[crazyschoolboyDan]

Classic Song. Once upon a time is my favorite.

[TrejosEd]

WHAT A great drummer they had!

[britdemo]

@TrejosEd awsome everything 

[rikkistalks]

drummers get no respect !

[TrejosEd]

@rikkistalks sadly most people focus on the frontman, perhaps the guitar player... but bass player and drummer are seldom appreciated. In this case, there is a great rhythm section! Great drummer!

[rikkistalks]

@TrejosEd 

[bermude8]

Super song !!!

[sweetbabylost]

i love it!

[sweetbabylost]

[hemmy11]
