Hi everybody. I'm nearly 49. What is so great is that My Mum who is 77 tells me " Stop with your Simple Minds". I answer " Mummy I've been listening to The Minds since 1980, you think I'm gonna stop ?". My 3 children Olivia who 14 soon, Clémence and Thomas who are 10 don't call me papa, they don't call me pap's, they call me Simple Pap's since they were babies. That is just so beautiful. Vive The Minds ❤🏴🎸🎤🤸👍👃
Thirty-one years since this powerful gem was released and I still can’t get enough of it. Absolutely beautiful, timeless lyrics and delivered in a way that only Simple Minds can. Bravo! 🙌🏾 😎🤙🏾
I'm a 97 kid and grew up with my dad playing SM, PF ect.😌😌 glad I grew up listening to proper songs/bands. Especially SM being scottish🏴🏴 granddaughter will deffo love SM.

One of the greatest bands of all time. They were one of the bands that made the 80s the 80s and they kept the 1980s bright and exciting. Thanks simple minds for being there in my youth.
The Minds are still very much Alive And Kicking, saw them in Liverpool early this year Amazing Night. They are Legendary from a Legendary Decade. Can't beat Simple Minds.
it is isn't it? such a brilliant tune I've never tired of -SHOULD have been a huge hit (& 1st single, not 2nd). I guess by 91/92 they became "uncool" -shame
Friends and fans alike I agree that real life is a fine record a mighty song and see the light is without doubt a sublime mini masterpiece. I want you all to know that simple minds toured Australia in 1983 myself and around a dozen pals caught them at our home town Newcastle Australia. People I want to declare that that performance By Jim Charlie and the team was blessed with that rare magical link between band and audience . They were beautiful sweet guys who played their creations with clarity honesty and passion raw classy and stunning . My crew and thd entire audience danced like never before . Friends these wonderful young travelling musicians gave us everything they had . We shared it back to them . Hey Friends we all shared that euphoria as did they . A night of great magic . Please come back soon . That night created by the simple minds crew was rare dignified honourable. A beautiful communion shared between them and us . Deep soulful and wondrous.
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 All I've got's a ghost of what could be If you can see the lights shine in front of me If you can see the lights shout out where you'll be I'm in a broken dream I stare out into space You know I called you up cos nothing takes your place I've got a heart of stone and it's sinking deep inside I want to tell you love I'm too proud to cry If you can see the lights shine in front of me If you can see the lights shout out where you'll be Summer's gone and I can't tell you lies Oh forgive me love I'm too proud to cry If you can see the lights shine in front of me If you can see the lights shout out where you'll be Summer's gone and I can't tell you lies Forgive me love I'm too proud to cry Too proud to cry Too proud to cry Too proud to cry
Real Masterpiece. One of the best songs ( or version) I have ever listened to. My first time was in the summer of 1989, during a visit to Pensilvania, with a family. My Mother in that My second Home was Irish. And she provided me with a Sony walkman in order that I could listen street fighting years when I was about to fall sleep. But ..Everynight, didn't miss only one, I listened the whole LP. From Street Fighting Years to Mandela's day, Biko, this is your land, let it all come down Belfast child ( this song specifically was rewinded about three times per night in average) ex aequo with one instrumental: when spirits rise. God bless that family. God bless Simple minds, God bless Carbondale.
If you are in the USA with the 4 seasons you can understand this magnificent song that I love truly Simple Minds one of the greatest bands ever in existence!!!
I remember in the past when many people commented that both Mel on drums and Charlie on the guitar/bass, both, were probably the most underrated musicians in the history of Music!!!!
Huge Simple Minds fan since I was 12 and this one goes in among the 3 best songs ever from SM!! Everybody who hears this one loves it from the first listening!!!!
I was a kid in the 80's, I was a big fan of this band, loved a lot of their early stuff, Street Fighting Years went over my head when it first came out though to be honest, I much prefered Real Life.
@@Etatdesiege1979 Yeah you right!! the algorithm is awful, they don't take the people to listen the great old songs, artists & bands, the algorithm just take people to listen the new cheap, same & commercial pop songs of today.
'Real Life', the album from which this song comes, changed my inner world and solidified Simple Minds as one of my all-time favourite bands. The intro and entire first track blew me away, and still does.
Jungs, das ist jawohl der Hammer der Song. Einer der besten die ich kenne. Typisch Simple Minds. Ich mag euch. Es fehlen einem die Worte um diesen Klassiker zu beschreiben.
This song just came into head while thinking of my brother who past 2 yrs ago. What a nostalgic era. Brings back so much memories. Too proud to cry. R.I.P -E.S
I'm in a broken dream, I stare out into space you know I called you up coz nothing takes your place... 80's Scottish music was the best. R.I.P Stuart Adamson long live Jim Kerr
Mi fate ritornare agli anni 80 quando vi ascoltavo in auto con il volume a palla e alla velocita della luce percorrevo 600 km il fine settimana per andare dalla mia bella fidanzatina... La vostra musica mi ha sempre dato una carica indescrivibile
This is just wonderful! I must say I'm impressed that there are more than just me out there that love this! Real Life is a great LP, and may I say it was very under-rated upon it's release in '91.
Heard this today on Greatest hits radio by Ken Bruce. Hadn’t heard it in about 30 years it was like stepping into a time Machine! Great track, quality speaks for itself !😊
I was in my early 20’s when this song dropped. Hypnotic and beautiful. To this day, one of my most favorite albums. And, back then, it was the first time I realized Jim Kerr was undeniably hot. 🔥❤️

This is one of those songs that never leaves you.
My kind of music
this song is a masterpiece, and, in my mind, it feels like finding your faith in god or something you care and love
yes
Still not even one of their greatest and yet it blows most music of today away by comparison.
the eighties did that to you. Humanity changed after the eighties....its time to get it back.
I can't believe that I found this song just today ... it's soooo great!

A massively underrated song & band.

This might well be one of SM's best songs. It's magical.
It is indeed too so great too.
I agree
@@ciarankavanagh9424 of course.
Great guitar solo by Charlie Burchill. Simple Minds is a very under rated band.
Not really, they have a strong following. But I see what you mean, underrated by the popular media
The Minds are still very much Alive And Kicking, saw them in Liverpool early this year Amazing Night.
They are Legendary from a Legendary Decade.
Can't beat Simple Minds.
Such a fukkin amazing song, completely overlooked and underrated. One of the great great bands of our time, nothing compares today
This song is SO UNDERAPPRECIATED and under played.
Beautiful...great!

Simple Minds this wonderful band that to this day at my 55 years old, always listening to every week remembering my good past.
For a great band with a superb back catalogue, this is one of their best, without question.
One of the best Simple Minds tunes. Brilliant stuff.

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
All I've got's a ghost of what could be
If you can see the lights shine in front of me
If you can see the lights shout out where you'll be
I'm in a broken dream I stare out into space
You know I called you up cos nothing takes your place
I've got a heart of stone and it's sinking deep inside
I want to tell you love I'm too proud to cry
If you can see the lights shine in front of me
If you can see the lights shout out where you'll be
Summer's gone and I can't tell you lies
Oh forgive me love I'm too proud to cry
If you can see the lights shine in front of me
If you can see the lights shout out where you'll be
Summer's gone and I can't tell you lies
Forgive me love I'm too proud to cry
Too proud to cry
Too proud to cry
Too proud to cry

This Band Is On The Highest Level. I See The Lights. 😎
Jim Kerr is with Bono and Dave Ghan the best singers of the 1980 to 2000 !! Few can match their awesomeness
Manouchiao Morrissey is best
Carmelo Soria I agree
They are stil good singers !
👍👌💝
You're skipping WAY too many great singers in your time frame.
ABSOLUTLY FANTASTIC SONG..!! LYRICS & THE WHOLE BAND TOGETHER JUST AWESOME TUNE XCXCXCX
Wow, a Jowett Javelin!!!
One of the best ever British cars.

used to live in Hampstead, Mel use to visit our pub on regular basis, really our hero/idol👌❣!.
Mel Gaynor drives the tempo, a stand-out drummer. In a higher league than,say, Ringo.
This guy's where way ahead of their times! Man this song still sounds amazing today! 👌😎👍
I always play this on the last day of summer and it conjures so many emotions at once. Thank you Simple Minds. 🙏

Summer's gone, winter's in your eyes - finally
An absolutely superb band. Superb arrangement and production.
Probably one of their best tunes. Love that bass riff..
Hypnotizing, the way he sings and moves himself... spiritual feeling ❤️
Can't stop playing this in my car...miss these guys..miss the 80's!!!!!!!!
This was the 90's

The music of my life 🤗🎸🥁
This is my favorite song from Simple Minds. Everything is beautiful.
Still brilliant know I'm a huge fan
Simple Minds have had some great tunes. This is the pinnacle.
Such a gorgeously crafted composition in the way only Simple Minds can come up with. Such a beautiful anthem.
Love this song
I'll second that. I'm repeating myself but this is better than Don't You Forget About Me.
Back again 😊
Thank you Lisa for recommending this song. You always come with the right ones at the right time
This video would just not be the same without that flying kick.
How is possible a masterpiece/song like that, don't have at least 100M views.
Ok
How??
I was asking myself the same thing.
It’s the shitty algorithm. People would have to click a million times in similar stuff just to be able to find one SM song or video.
@@Etatdesiege1979 Yeah you right!! the algorithm is awful, they don't take the people to listen the great old songs, artists & bands, the algorithm just take people to listen the new cheap, same & commercial pop songs of today.
It's ashame this beautiful song doesn't have more views
I'm doing my best here! Everyone now pledge to view everyday for the next month?😄jk. but I do have a feeling i'll be revisiting this song often...
Listening to this, one of my favorite songs, on my birthday tonight.
