  • Love this song and Simple Minds just great.

  • skyesskimmer sry about that my mistake i meant the big 4 out of the U.K

  • Great song

  • yeah wreyoG they are indeed in my opinion they are part in the english big four of the 80,s

    1:big country (why are they so underrated)

    2:simple minds

    3:the alarm (they to)

    4:u2

    this is my view on it

  • @dutchvideochannel Hold on there pal, Simple Minds - Scots & U2 IRISH! And Big Cuntry were regarded as Scots too.

  • @dutchvideochannel .... Simple Minds and Big Country are from Scotland,U2 are Irish and The Alarm were from Prestatyn in Wales.. Come on mate,get up to speed!!

  • These are songs where you wish they never made a videoclip for it because the images never stretch to the depth of the lyrics. Kerr can jump in leather pants and I like the classic car but it doesn't bring any power to the lyrics.

    This proves two things: goods songs need no show around it and images are a big part of generations losing their imagination (although I wouldn't be able to live one week without my TV-set, I guess)

  • 2004, Winter, lost my mum, my job, my wife. This song turned me around. Enough said

  • steenbok1965 je hebt gelijk dit is 1 van de mooiste songs van simpel minds ik heb goede herinneringen aan dit nummer het brengt idd innerlijker rust gr een u2 fan

  • thank you a lot for the LIGHTS simple mind remembers me of the year when i was Mesero in the Hotel Waldhaus a long time ago

  • Listen to *In the city of light* their best work imho

  • Great song. I'm not to proud to cry.. I'm proud of cry for the things I aprecciate and the people I love in any way. Best wishes for I friend I hope she see the lights again..

  • Ohhhhh... I love this song !!! I never forget the concert in Konstanz / Germany.

    ( Rock am See 1989 )

  • magnifique

  • Woooowwwwwwwww

  • What is this song about? Is it about the breakage of a relationship? What are "lights" he sings about?

  • @gusmoboy OPEN YOUR MIND! ((c) "Total Recall")

  • i must cry every time i hear this track

    so beautifull... so hopefull

  • Still my favourite Simple Minds track. I think it could be their best? Got it on most Cds in car and at home now. Nice memories for me now as it helped me out of a very dark time a few years ago.

    Superb track.

  • Brilliant track one of the best

  • yes they re a famous group and have sold millions..but it still makes me wonder to this day why they arent as popular as U2...they are 10 times better!

  • @wreyoG es cierto que sus musicas son muy lindas y lo admito pero u2 tambien es bueno muy bueno y si vamos a compararlos a los dos creo que eso esta dificil asi que los dos son mejores con la misma puntuacion no se pueden ganar ya que son como lo dije anteriormente MEJORES

  • @waru2360 sorry due..no habla espaniol...write in english please

  • The ad at the bottom of this video:

    After shaving balls

    Effectively trim or remove body hair w/the bodycruZer from Braun.

    Thanks, ads by google!

  • This song is always stuck in my head, it was 20 years ago I had this album on casssette & listening to it on my way to college in Valencia, Spain in 1991.

    Its fuckin mad that it's 20 years old....

    Slan Abhaile.....

  • One person is a complete asshole. 

  • Le son..... trop bon.

  • Amo esta pinche cancion... es genial... casi tanto como "don´t you (forget about me)"

  • underrated tune far as i'm concerned.

  • @jam1966ful Unbelievabley so..

    It's a terrific jam.

  • Love this song,great band,cant wait to see them on Friday night

  • OMg he's so hot!

  • grandissimo assolo di chitarra

  • Good memories...'91

  • It's fantastic..

  • GREAT ONE!!

  • Only people who haven't really heard Simple Minds would think this steaming pile of shite as Simple Minds. Simple mind$ yeah

  • this is so wonderful

  • It reminds me of a great time in my life...it should have been a big hit!

  • i heard this song in a Taco Bell and had to look it up. Good song. :)

  • @eightday video is recorded at the bonnie wee studios in scotland :)

  • If you can see the lights..shout out where you'll be..

    Smooth lyrics along with great instrumentals . BANG !

  • superb! still love it today, thanks!

  • The last "Real Good"album from Simple Minds.From here on...that´s a different story!!

  • Excellent song, but what's with the David Lee Roth impersonation at 1:49? The rest of the video he (Jim Kerr) is slithering around like a constipated stripper...but still, love the song.

  • jim kerr is one of the greatest voices i've ever listened .

  • Absolutely one of my favourite songs of all time: thank you, merci, grazie :)

  • Als er een serie van mijn leven gemaakt zou worden zou dit de titelsong zijn :)

  • awesome tune

  • Classic tune...does anyone know what instruments were used in this song?

  • The car they're driving is a 1952-1953 Jowett Javelin.

  • Super mooi nummer! Dankjewel om het the uploaden!! :D

  • Jim for musical president!!!

  • semplicemente splendida!!!!!!!! uno dei loro migliori capolavori!

  • Tremendous. Genius. What can you say? I saw Simple Minds at the Marquee in Wardour Street. 1979 I think it was. This song is in my all time top 10. It's everything beautiful about autumn in grimy britain. 

  • @dharmashooter Oh and it's the best song to drive to out in the country with your foot hard down on the accelerator.

  • @dharmashooter Played at no. 11 of course.

  • You sexy bitch!!! Shout out where you'll be!!!

  • Summers gone Winter's in your eyes, I can feel the thunderstorms inside. I wake every morning and the cold winds cover me. All I've got is a ghost of what could be. If you could see the lights shine in front of me, if you could see the light shine out where you'll be.

    Awesome freaking lyrics. I called you up cause nothing takes your place. I'm too proud to cry. I can see the light dim as it may be I pray my love sees I cannot do this alone.

  • muy bueno

  • 0 dislikes interesting finally people knows what it's good

  • If music is the soundtrack of our lives then I feel bad for the kid's these days having to endure the likes of Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber and just about anything hip-hop related. Music died a slow and painful death after grunge left the scene 15 years ago with nothing new to replace it. There's absolutely no imagination or creativity anymore. So we're left to listen to songs from the past as the airwaves rot the brains of our children with the sounds of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Fergie.

  • Classic song played in NYC on the old WNEW FM circa Scott Muni days in the 1980s. Great memories! Still sounding great and the lyrics kick-ass!

  • WNEW was a joke and was so far behind the times. In the early 80s Muni was still playing the Beatles and had no idea who SM were. College radio ruled the airwaves!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @wknj123 Well you are correct in one respect: it was WLIR (not a college station) , but near my college station WBAU FM ( no more there) that broke this Simple Minds track. Thanks for tweaking my memory. However, "Scottso" is a legend. I remember when he was on WABC AM Musicradio 77 when I was a boy DJ, and he did his best and that gravelly voice got him many voice-overs that i only wish I could get today.

  • too bad the Americans are not as hip to this band as my Eroupean friends. Jim Kerr has got the moves.

  • awesome tune

  • J'adore ce groupe, ils sont tout simplement géniaux!! J'hésite entre celle-là et Alive and kicking pour la première place, ou als Sometime, Somewhere in Summertime, ...

  • la oigo casi a diario sin aburrirme!! VEO LA LUZ

  • Great song, I hear this on our Satellite Feed at my job, it sure sounds way ahead of its time too!

  • this is a facking shit nigga!

  • The music's so great that I can forgive Jim and Charlie for being Celts fans:)

  • This song has a special meaning to me,,,,  Txs

  • Hey man! At 43 seconds in you got a message!!!!

  • when did this song come out? I just discovered it today... definitely my favorite song at the moment.

  • @braddyboy82 It was either 1991 0r 1992.

  • sonido unico e incomparable

  • Jedna z najlepszych piosenek simple minds

  • one of my all time favourite songs :)

  • Underrated band. Underrated album.

    There's more to these guys than "Dont' forget about me". *sigh*

  • i absolutely love this band - I think I have seen them live about 5 times.

    Went to see them at the Lyric theatre - mindblowing - absolutely brilliant

    love jim keyes, he is awesome, such a brilliant front man

    love the guitar playing - he is such a good guitar player, plays heaps of different ones

  • Mel Gaynor one of the most underrated drummers of all time!!! But not by me!!!

  • uf,,,,AMAZING!!!

  • My all time favourite Simple Minds track of all time

    Superb guitar in the middle of this track. This track I found again a few years ago. It lifted me up when I needed cheering up in what was a very dark time in my life.Great to see and hear it again.

    Superb.

  • @Kevsouthern , mate agree with you 100%. Lifted me up when i was going through a divorce. This song gave me strength.

  • u2 who r they?

  • in 1 woord super!

  • Meine absolute Favoritenband in den 80ern!!

    1 Million Sternchen! *****...

    Simple Minis sind Kult!!

    Meine Güte, ich hatte damals nur Augen für den Gitarristen Charlie Burchill...1:56

    *augenroll* ^^

  • @MrsAdely

    :-))

  • Criminally did not crack the Top 40 in the States - if the song were exactly the same with the name U2 on it - Top 10 track - overlooked gem.

  • overlooked masterpiece....one of a kind!

  • beautifull love song 6and if we could see the inner light of peace..................

  • simple

  • One of my all-time favorite Simple Minds songs from such an amazing album. I used to play this song very loud in my car with the windows down, driving down country roads where I grew up in the Hudson Valley, NY ...... Try driving slow and not smiling while listening to it - it's impossible. :)

  • Comment removed

  • Check out the 12" version ... it's online ..

  • Now that is a very, very, very good bit of music

  • where are they going to be touring..saw them in toronto in 81..great show

  • U2 are the Irish rock band of the time,and Simple Minds were the Scottish eqivalent

    i get the feeling U2 admired Simple Minds and vice vesra,Belfast Child is a good example of this

  • I really can't see the difference between Simple Minds and U2

  • Igrew up on simple minds and the 80s music scene god its great that they are going on tour again. Thank you jim kerr and the rest of the band for some great music also great memories. see you in 2009.

  • Ummmm, wasn't there another video to this song? In color? Him shooting a prison movie and he climbs up on the camera boom? (I'm in the US.) Does anyone else remember this?

  • See The Lights

    Summer's gone winter's in your eyes

    I can feel the thunder storms inside

    I wake every morning and the cold winds cover me

    Too proud to cry

    Too proud to cry

  • oh it is so life confirming this song

  • what is it the weird 'blurp' sounds we hear at some moments? it's pity, yours was a bit better audio quality than the other.. it's really grr, now there are plenty of vids deleted by youtube.. and then we can't have the choice anymore to chose this one or this one because we find it better quality than an other one.. i had this one in good quality before, and of course it has disappeared! plenty of SM vids disappeared.. and yeah it's like that with plenty of other stuffs..

  • ..really fuckin grr me youtube!

  • not heard this song for years. I LOVE IT!

  • This song and the Belfast Child is Simple Minds best songs.I just love the bellsound in it.
