Simple Minds have been musical pioneers for 40 glittering years. Catching the mood of the post-punk era, when the angry sounds of 1977 were splintering into a thousand different shapes, they emerged with a style rooted in the art-rock of David Bowie and the electronic dance of Donna Summer. They went on to become one of the great bands of their generation, deploying rousing choruses and booming atmospherics to provide a soundtrack that has endured. They topped the American chart with Don't You (Forget About Me) and followed suit in the UK with the Ballad Of The Streets EP (featuring Belfast Child). In selling over 60 million records, they have seen three of their 20 studio albums reach number one in the UK – Sparkle In The Rain, Once Upon A Time and Street Fighting Years – a chart-topping feat equalled by their live album Live In The City Of Light and the compilation Glittering Prize. A spellbinding touring band, they have graced the world's biggest stadiums. They starred at Live Aid and played three momentous London shows in honour of Nelson Mandela. The past decade has also seen a remarkable resurgence, their world-class credentials acknowledged by a Q magazine Inspiration award in 2014 and an Ivor Novello in 2016. They are now marking their 40th anniversary with a world tour, live album and career-spanning compilation.

La vostra musica vive dentro di me sin dai vostri albori... Repertorio che ha segnato le mie esperienze in giro per il 🌍 da ex marinaio italiano, da sempre vostro estimatore... Vado verso i 55 anni e ogni volta che vi ascolto riuscite a farmi rivivere i miei fantastici ricordi... Insomma siete l'elisir dell'eterna giovinezza... Grazie infinite... Sublimi Simple Minds

The lyrics of the song are about loved ones who went their way... But this could easily be about loved ones of which one died and one has been left behind. This is how I see this magnificent song. I will certainly play this touching version when I lose my love and I can assure you I will cry big tears of

[AERIEDM]
