surely its a compliment to a band when someone you wouldnt expect samples your music and i am no lover of his music but as an 80s child simple minds were a big part of mine and my friends music collection and i have every vinyl album as well as replacing them with cds so give people a break let them use the music from the best era in music
@pillococos You'd be suprised how many young people actually start listening to "older" music just because they've been sampled to create some new hit... :)
@84heroes1 Please answer the question put to you. Your avalanche of insults won't resolve the issues which prove BY DEFINITION that I was right. You can't very well defend rap-music; in fact if you want to progress and be promoted in the halls of power and money-making, you'll have to give it up.
@Dracopol As I'm reading your posts, I think you're mixing two entirely different concepts, Draco. One is music, the other is melody. Music encompasses both melody & rhythm. When you say that Rap has no "notes" (melody?) Rap music is, generally, more rhythm based but melody is present. You might have the drum on the back mixed with say, Bass, Rhodes/Wurlitzer, Synths, Brass, all sorts of samples providing melody/chords for the Rapper to lay his vocals on.
@madnauseam But the asshole is getting in my case for saying, rightly, that rap is unmelodious. It also has less value, since it is completely DEPRIVED of melody, and the fool doesn't want to admit it. This generation is far, far less educated than the previous one. They adopt rap because the big record executives told him he should, not for any real merit.
If you need examples, pick any Rap top ten chart from B.O.B's Airplanes to Eminem's Love the way you lie. Even going further back, the biggest rap hits are normally the most melodious, be it Method Man's You're all I Need or 2Pac Do For Love or California feat Dre, or even Hypnotize by Biggie. The examples of melodies are staggeringly obvious.
Music isn't just melody though, in fact, consider this, Jazz is one of the most musical note driven styles, yet the masses do not adhere to it.
That of course does not make Jazz more or less "musical", just means there's no written-rules. The Lennon "three chords" rule is very valid to-date, thus less still equals more at least in the eye of charts.
In the end of the day, who are we to even try to restraining something ever-evolving like music? Isn't breaking such boundaries the purpose of music? And by doing so, mutate and constantly redefine itself?
@84heroes1 Why don't you fucking answer the question, limp-dick? You should be able to hear with your ears whether there are notes in rap or not. Answer, there are not. Since a melody is defined as "a progression of notes", therefore rap is UNmelodious. I want to read you admit that.
@84heroes1 And I proved it! There are NO NOTES in rap, so I am justified in calling it unmelodious. Why are you going on, twisting in the wind?? Rap is bad, inferior music! Not even music at all, which implies notes.
@84heroes1 What is close-minded and ignorant about what I'm saying. Rap is BAD! It's not music like 80's alternative! I do have a right to attack it. You have a questionable right to attack ME. It's not fair to say I'm an ignoramus, I have a Master's Degree in Science and if we start to compare personal achievements, you will lose. Rap is bad, you can't prove it's good, you're getting emotional and frustrated.
Rich, soaring, inspirational sound, better than I even remembered it. Rock on. Little bit tinny too at times (compare Promised You a Miracle), but fab musical ideas. I still think there is lots of good music today, but very dispersed and fragmented compared to the '80's.
Top song ,top group! Brings me back to the good old days with people from all over the world having fun to Greek islands ,sun,blue sky ,erotic nights ,memories....!!!!!
I remember reading a comment somewhere about this song. The person stated that this song to them meant finding someone who they could share their life with who would understand them and never let them be alone. Together they would live "Somewhere in Summertime" away from the world and all their problems, misunderstandings, and enemies. I completely agree with that person.
@Victoriam4074 m8 im living that know... my dads a huge fan and im 15 and have been into bands like level 42, simple minds, frankie goes to hollywood and XTC since i was a kid and im upset that music just isnt like this anymore.
@N1ghtstar4 Nice to know im no the only young person! Im 23 now and still love this! And the bands you menntioned also! And i like Erasure, Eurythmics, Annie Lennox when she went solo etc.
used to listen to this song in car when i was 14 on way to church!!! had no choice at the time but looking back it wasnt such a bad thing.always heading from undy mill common to newport st marys lol.....used to hope i missed the tunnels when this was playing on top 40 as the reception would cut out...the evenings were always sunny when it played and we travelled.......life was so much more sunny then in many ways....
OMG I love Simple Minds always have and I used to play this song constinly on my cd discman until the cd ended up skipping this song because I played the hell out of this song lol. Funny when this song came out I was only 5 right because it came out in 1982 right.
