I don't want to be 49. I want to magically wake up in my perfectly wall papered room, McDonald's burger phone on my desk, my posters of Kirk Cameron on my wall, my radio alarm playing B104 in Edinburg, Tx with the Mad Mexican DJ introducing this song, and I wake to my reality in the mid 80s. I would love a do over! All of us 80s kids do. Every time I hear Simple Minds or Tears For Fears, I am magically transported.... in my mind 😞

Mel Gaynor is one of the best drummers in the business & this song proves it. Dont even start me about Charlie Burchill as a guitarist and Jim is so underated as a singer and frontman. Believe me - live, this man exudes warmth and charisma. Truly amazing band.

@avocate2017 9 жыл бұрын

Marc Lawrence Agreed. Most '80s post-punk bands that had distinct guitar sounds didn't have powerful drums, but Simple Minds did. "Sanctify Yourself," "Waterfront," and "Speed Your Love to Me" were prime examples. Those were the days of great Celtic rock bands, like U2, The Alarm, Big Country, and Simple Minds.

My favorite band and the first concert I ever attended in 1986 in Montreal. Then they had two more concerts in Montreal that were canceled...so I had to wait 27 years, until 2013, to see them in Boston. The third and last time I saw them was in Vegas in 2018. Hopefully they will tour N. America again so I can see them at least one more time. They are quite the experience live and Jim is as charismatic a as they come.
