2024. Still a brilliant bloody song. Who agree’s?

Glittering Prize by Simple Minds is one of the most underestimated songs ever. This song is a timeless , stunning ,true classic. A song combining deep mystique spirituality with creative beauty. This song will stand the test of time.

Simple Minds are easily one of the best bands to come out of the 80s

Derek Forbes bassline is absolute genius what a song I'm 54 and will never stop getting goosebumps to this!

Never ceases to amaze me. Over 500 people gave this the thumbs down. What planet are they from. They couldn’t have lived through the epic 80’s. This is wonderful music. New wave at its most glamorous. Period.

This song was so ahead of its time. This would hold up looking like it was released yesterday. Classic.

That bass line is just pure brilliance.

This song never fails to captivate with its soaring vocals, catchy guitar riffs, and irresistible energy. It's like a burst of pure nostalgia every time I listen to it.

I'm 48 years old, missed my 80s.....and Im listening to this in 2020.....join me wont you?

53 years old... this song will stay forever and ever related to my youth...🤟

Historians are now saying that the 80s will probably go down in history as the most creative and free time in history. Mankind peaked and it gradually went downhill ever since.

One of the best bands on earth, 81,82,83,84 is a masterpeace..it still touches your soul..

One of the defining basslines of the 80's.

For me is one of the best from simple mind… the base line, the drum, and the voice are simply incredible ❤❤❤

Simple Minds one of the best bands ever, so many absolute classics and a big part of the magical 80’s , so blessed to have grown up then 👍😎

An underrated song that is actually better than the big hit "Don't you forget about me"

As an American teenager in the 80's I was flooded on US radio by Michael Jackson, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Duran, U2, Madonna, etc etc.. All fine music. I ended up buying "Once upon a Time" because it was on sale for 3$ and because of the Alive and Kicking video, Today Im 43, and Simple Minds are my favorite band, hands down....

One of the best 80s tunes out there. The opening lines are classic.

In my humble view one of Simple Minds finest but most underrated songs.

I was an 80s 90s boy, at the time just thought it was “good” almost took it for granted listen to it now it’s fuckin amazing

The bass line is amazing!

Jim Kerr was so young and very charismatic in this video.

The absolute height of early-80's new pop. Does it get any better than this?

Happy 41st birthday Glittering Prize 🎉!

This album is one of the very best albums ever made. Pure. Period.

This track truly is a glittering prize. An absolute masterpiece.

I just love this tune - absolutely glorious - great piece of Scottish art.

One of the best new wave bands period. The bass is amazing, the melody is etherical, so ahead in their music, a pure delight to the ears.

The bass is awesome on this song - Derek Forbes was a brilliant bass player for Simple Minds, played on all their early songs from 1978-85.

After so many years, more than 40 already, this still sounds as it was then, no trace of wear and tear. One of my favorite bands of all time and keep listening while I can!

Been listening to this song for more than 40 years. Love it. Simple Minds so many outstanding songs

Holy shit this song is turning 40 in 2 years. I feel soooo old. I'm only 24 and I absolutely adore 80s music and movies ;-;

Christ im 63 years of age and the music from in 80's still makes my heart stir, full of expression and beauty. I too wish for that time, but alas time moves on and I for one will never see the like again.

For me New Gold Dream is THE perfect 80s Pop Album! I absolutely love it and this song is sooo great!!

One of the greatest bands ever. New Gold Dream is a masterpiece. (And young Jim Kerr was in my teenage black book of gorgeous men)

I'd happily go back to the 80s and stay there for the rest of my time on this planet...mid 50s now...

Literally the 'Golden Age' of popular music. Just beautiful.

Semplicemente superbo!!!! A quasi 60 anni mi fanno ancora vibrare l'anima!!!! Orgogliosa di essere stata giovane negli anni '80, la migliore musica di sempre ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Shine on, shine the light on me In all of my life so that much more I see In the light of his love In the light of reflection What a world this world Sometimes oh so it seems Eyes to the sky In the silver gift friendship Glittering prize Is the price of lost love They can remember quiet side of midnight They can remember attraction of fame Like a glittering prize I saw you up on a clear day First taking heart Then our last breath away Always came a time Time was by your side We were spending time We were staring out Catch me in a dream Captured all in heart We were spending time We were staring out Could there ever be Ever more than one Called an act of love Can you never stop? Shine on, shine the light on me In all of my life so that much more I see Like a glittering prize I saw you up on a clear day First taking hearts Then our last breath away Only on a clear day Coming in on our lives Only on a clear day Coming in on our life We can remember quiet side of midnight We can remember attraction of fame Like a glittering prize I saw you up on a clear day First taking heart Then our last breath away See it in the eyes Satellite sky We were spending time We were staring out Take in, take in more Endless breath away We were staring out Now we're staring in Could there ever be Ever more than one Called an act of love Can you never stop? Shine on, shine the lights on me In all of my life, so that much more I see Like a glittering prize I saw you up on a clear day First taking hearts Then our last breath away Only on a clear day Coming in on our life Always on a clear day This is the price of love Like a glittering prize Only on a clear day

For me this song is a Masterpiece why the hell aren't *Simple Minds* inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame?

Absolute magic! This song is the 80s. I get teared up almost every time it's just so magical. It's like I'm reliving nostalgia I never had but always dream about

No tattoo piersing and stupid clothes, Just PERFECT MUSIC, thank you SM, thank you U2 thank you INXS........

Artistic genius , like a great painting .

80s rule I'm 54, glad igrew up in the 80s

Jim Kerr - the inventor of the lowdance.

How great were the 80's... driving in the summer sun, while this amazing song was playing... no social networks shit around... just pure fun everywhere.... priceless decade !!!

Grew up with their brilliant music. About 12 years or so ago, the organisers of the Chichester real ale and jazz festival in West Sussex, England, managed to get Jim and the band along. Playing to just a few hundred people they were utterly fantastic. Without doubt a real night to remember.

I’m a deathcore heavy metal fan and I love listening to Simple Minds on my downtime, on my own, nice and relaxed.

A timeless classic from a band that deserves to be remembered more.

Sublime...Simple Minds didn't get any better than this. I'll never get tired hearing it.

Jim;So young and skinny 😄..."somewhere in summertime" was the first song I heard on KROQ fm California in 1982/83...been a fan ever since. ❤

My favourite Simple Minds song. Pure perfection 👌. Thank you 🙏 ✌️ ♥ Levent 🦁

Whoever put thumbs down, all 84 of them, are the ones who have simple minds. This is a terrific song from a great group.

The sound of this album is incredible and timeless. This is my favourite song of theirs.

Jim looks like Gary Oldman in The Fifth Element

the 80's were awesome.

The 80s in a video. For me, still as fresh as the first time I heard it.

I prefer this song over Don't You Forget About Me.

Being Scottish and from the same era. I only appreciate now how good jim and simple minds are. I followed the northern soul world but proud of the minds Hail Hail Jim

Simple Minds finest moment….2023 and still sounding superb!

The 80's are never far gone, thank you God for this great music. After almost 15 years this song still sounds modern

Touches hidden depth that few songs reach.

The bass line is genius 😍

Wow. I'm so proud to be part of the 80's..

Glittering Prize golden scenery, Gold by Spandau Ballet and Del Boy and Rodney painting the Chinese restaurant luminous gold. 1982 must’ve been a golden year!

Playing it now, blasting all my speakers out😅

This is my absolute favorite song and I enjoyed seeing it live yesterday❤️

So glad I bought this masterpiece on vinyl at 20 years of age, God, how good were they.

Great basslines, really catchy song. Just a great 80's band.

In 1982 I was a sophomore in high school and thought that glittering gold model was indeed a prize for any teenager. Now 53, she still is. Wow! This song gained greater significance to me as I went on the graduate from a midwestern school with an iconic gold lady atop a dome. Simple Minds is a musical treasure. Hail, Scotland and the City of Glasgow. Truly beautiful.

Oh this is brilliant. Jim Kerr, so magnetic, a silken voice, but so powerful and appealing.

i think i'll just spend the rest of my evening playing this song on repeat.

Wicked bassline!

Always reminds me of High School. Awesome 80`s. Never be another decade like it. That bass and synth.

Amazing song from an amazing album. Music was incredible in those days.

Yeah! The 80´s are still in my heart. And the Simple Minds made them so much better!

Absolutely superb song this. No matter how many times you listen to it.

What an under-rated band !! All you ever hear on Australian radio is don't you forget about me ! This is such a classic and what about Belfast child??? Simple minds.. Simply Awesome !!!

Simple Minds are one of my favorite 80's bands and this is one of their best songs. the video is also pretty awesome! Jim Kerr was/is an amazing singer!

Jim looks like he's really having a good time here.

Fantastic bass playing and tone.

I wonder if anyone had the same experience....when this came out in 1982 I spent so long trying to tape it off radio, but as the vocals came in some quickly I always missed it. So the version I've always listened to starts halfway through 'shine on...' ;-)

This song made me interested in music, I was only about 10 and Simple minds are my Dads favorite band, I owe a lot to this song. Brilliant music Brilliant band.

I'm transfixed. Obsessed.💖

Hugely underrated tune by simply minds

A good song futuristic and entertaining still listening in 2024

The band that's etched across my heart... Life long love!!!

Thank god I remember this stuff. Just imagine not having experienced the 70s and 80s!

Music creates life memories. I don't know if anyone's ever noticed how when hear just the music and not watch the videos, you can absorb it more.

THE LEGENDARY 80Ss,nothing like this will. EVER BE DUBLICATED THIS WAY EVA AGAIN! GLAD TO HAVE LUVED THROUGH A WONDERFUL MUSIC AND FASHIONABLE TIME¡!😊

One best 80´s song ever

The band members is so young in this video. How time flies.

Amazingly great song! Great band from the golden era of music!!

Una delle più belle di sempre, straordinaria

This is the most beautiful song ever made.

Dal punto di vista tecnico rimangono i migliori di quei anni ...

54 in July , my life was just about to get going in 1982 , simple minds and the associates were at the forefront of a brilliant musical year

One of their best. A real blast from the past. Great song...

I get tearful sometimes when am waisted, this & other 80s tunes takes me back. I’m 53

Jim Kerr is pure perfection. His voice is His Voice, and that's all. U can hear it among thousands
