    Kia ora from AOTEAROA, New Zealand - I remember Simple Minds performing here in NZ at a Concert called "Sweetwaters" back in the 80s and listening to WATERFRONT then...Powerful, Mesmerising.....Amazing Song and SM performance...as a young man of 18ish.. jamming out to this Song, Simple Minds....fast forward to 2020...and COVID is on our "doorsteps" I now reflect that WATERFRONT was a song about struggle, people, families, lives AND it is also a Song about Hope, Faith....and UNITY to get thru the struggles and challenges LIFE..."Get in get out of the Rain...!!!" So BIG Arohanui..."Much Love from us Simple Minds fans in Aotearoa, New Zealand!!

    First saw Simple Minds in Dusseldorf in 85 and 15 times since. Had tickets for their 2020 concerts in Birmingham and Nottingham now postponed until 2021. Every time I hear this with the thumping opening bass and then Charlies guitar whining I'm transported to another level. Greatest ever rock anthem for me.

      I agree but same time I don' t like tha pointer of view; every year, every decade every century sounds quite different. It' s just impossible for us to enter the new mood of those generations. Great musicians adapt and grow and move between the lines. My father used to tell me "...your stoopid Guns nR are nothing conpared to Beatles or Doors...your music sucks...". Grandpa told him same 'bout Frank Sinatra or Jazz bands insted of the 60' Rnr . Every moment is one. Every girl or boy thinks his music is the best. Me first myself miss the key to trap music or new bands, but I think they'll get theyr way ...

    I have to admit that back in the early '80s I was into ridiculous pop. I've just spent an hour and a half mining through TH-cam for bands that I didn't pay much attention to at the time. Holy Fuck, I've been in tears a good part of the time realizing that all these songs pretty much make up the soundtrack of my youth. Converted....permanently!!

    Burchill's harmonics are just mind-blowing, the astringent piano breathtakingly rings through and you can cut the delirious atmosphere with a knife... if EVER there was a gig I wish I'd been at...!
