This was written last year for Lostboy! AKA but when Charlie Burchill liked it so much we decided that Simple Minds would "nick it!". Pleased me, as the lyrics are unashamedly nostalgic and centre directly on a few experiences Charlie and I shared as youths. Staying up all night, high as kites, wandering the streets of Glasgow, with our pupils dilating,
Just read on the Simple Minds website that the new album is produced by Steve Hillage, who produced Sons & Fascination / Sister Feelings Call. This is going to be the Simple Minds album the fans have been waiting for, I can feel it in my bones!
After the terrible 'Stagefright' (please guys, keep this well away from the new album), this track is a real return to form. Can definitely hear 'New Gold Dream' in the keyboards and guitar. I've wanted Simple Minds to return to the NGD sound for such a long time now, because everything they've made since has been a total disappointment. Whether Forbes/MacNeil will ever come back remains to be seen...
THIS IS SIMPLE MINDS LIKE WE ALL LIKE / LIKE SIMPLE MINDS USED TO SOUND / ORRY BUT SOMETIMES THEY MADE SHIT BUT THIS IS SIMPLE MINDS AT THEIR BEST AND BACKK TO THEIR ROOTS/ THX SM
Got to Thetford at 5pm. SM were practicsing and this song blasting through the forest was almost magical. The 2 hour concert was amazing and hearing this again at the end of the gig has me hooked.
Beautiful song! I just went to their first gig in Lisbon last week. With 53 years old, they still kick ass.

Didn't think much of this at first, have to admit it's a beautiful song. Best things often need time to blossom.

This has to be the next single, nice to hear they'll be putting out studio versions of the newer stuff, including this great one.
