The perfect merging of punchy synth and atmospheric guitar and a singer who can actually belt it out. Didn't know back then how lucky we were in the 80's. Ain't that always the case with passing time.
When people talk about Simple Minds it's usually "Don't You (Forget About Me)" or "Alive And Kicking". That's all right to a degree but for me if I had to pick one song and one song only it would be this song. It's just so beautiful!!
They are really Incredible my dream come true to see them can’t wait to see them again .someone said they are defined by 2songs but if you’re a true fan you are defined by them all
This song is timeless, if I didn’t know the song is from the glorious 80’s, and you tell me it was just reliased yesterday i’d believe you in a heart beat...
In case I'd meet someone from another planet asking me about Simple Minds, I'd certainly choose this song to 'introduce him' into their world and sound! A real masterpiece! ❤❤
Definitely one of the mega bands of the 80s and into the 90s. They produced a very individual style which combined a range of styles. Proved highly popular and still are..
Vi seguo da sempre e avete segnato la mia vita adolescenziale e attuale... Strabilianti e memorabili da sempre e per sempre... Da un italiano ex marinaio del 68 che per un quarto di secolo ha girato il mondo accompagnato dalla vostra musica... Grazie per la vostra dedizione

@@monicamarchi7371 grande Monica anch'io amo i simple minds ! purtroppo non ho visto molte volte i simple dal vivo ,ma li sento ancora adesso ,è sempre un piacere! tanti saluti da davide baci dalla Romagna
Saw this amazing gift to music that is the Minds in 84 at the Caird Hall in Dundee....what a gig and what a band....outstanding...and Charlie Burchill still a guitaring influence to this 53 year old...
I will always be grateful for them coming to play at the Manly Vale Hotel in Sydney (twice) and so should they be grateful. We went through an era together that no one could dream about now. Some of us, somewhere in summertime.
seen these live in 2015 .Leeds first .direct .arena . i was .44 .and I went . with my mother .she was .64 .we never .stopped .clapping .and rocking .till start .to finish .what a fabulous .wicked night
America Heard about the Minds after Don't you forget about me, There best stuff was all before Albums like Reel to Reel, Life in a Day, New Gold Dream were simply brilliant, Still love Simple Minds. If you have not seen them live, then please go they are still amazing
I've only just started discovering Simple Minds; I think this is my favourite song so far in my discovery. The guitar reminds me a bit of Marillion (who I love) and U2, but they've definitely get their own thing going on.
Wonderful song , one more really ! So romantic and Jim Kerr's absolutely UNIQUE VOICE . Simple Minds is the very best band in the world . Rare and unique music !
Saw them in Seattle last weekend (their first visit since 1984!) They performed a very long set, Jim Kerr is a genuinely generous frontman and Charlie Burchill is the man.
I'm not big on Simple Minds if I'm being honest but there is something about this song. I'll you what that something is - it's f***ing brilliant, that's what!
What a song! I'm 48 and I've been listening to this masterpiece since 1982. My 3 children know the song of course. What a band! Thanks Jim, Thanks Charlie.for what you gave me since I was a little boy. See you on the road soon I🏴🎸🙏
My favorite song by Simple Minds easily. Reminds me of the summer of 1985 West Germany but spent the most special week of my life on this one week trip in West Berlin. She had eyes like large, blue (azule ?) pools. Love at first sight 35 years ago. I can never forget, even if I wanted.
@@paulalexander633 I suppose she went her way. Heck, I would have followed her to Finland like some lost puppy. But I suspect she had a boyfriend. The different languages thing did not help. My German was awful!! But we stayed in touch by mail and these broken German, transantlantic phone calls. I graduated college just the writing and phone calls stopped. I was trying to be polite and do the right thing if she already had a boyfriend. I have a Finnish friend and his eyes are similar. Reminds me so much of her I try hard not to think about it. What do they call that, un-requieted love? Take care Mr. Alexander.
This is great, they are the best group to come out of the UK and so under rated. Saw them live in Leicester same tour, the live sound quality is superb. A must go see band.
A law student then, when I first heard the song, I heard it on the train from Athens to Komotini. The years when everything seemed hopeful. There was a road of time. Now, for so many years, Judge, I am not weeping for what I did not live, but for what I caused so that the people who loved me would not live. The song is with divine music, and every night writing down the decisions for the people, I become that new 17-year-old, the first year of law school, who travels by train and sees city lights pass by. Blessed are the people who live their days in love, there is nothing left and you do not take anything else with you. Thanks to my favorite band for my favorite song, unfortunately, I will never listen to them live here in Greece and and this is a complaint from my life. PAOK F.C. THESSALONIKI
Most people have listen first time Simple Minds watching the Breakfast Club movie which was a masterpiece as I was a teenager at that time but before it the band have produced some amazing albums even 3 or 4 just instrumentals .... I AM A BIG FAN !!!!!
Someone Somewhere (In Summertime) Simple Minds Stay, I'm burning slow, with me in the rain Walking in the soft rain, calling out my name See me burning slow Brilliant days Wake up on brilliant days Shadows of brilliant ways will change all the time Memories Burning gold memories Gold of day memories change me in these times Somewhere there is some place That one million eyes can't see And somewhere there is someone Who can see what I can see? Someone, somewhere in summertime Someone, somewhere in summertime Someone, somewhere in summertime Someone, somewhere in summertime Stay, I'm burning slow, with me in the rain Walking in the soft rain, calling out my name See me burning slow Moments burn, slow burning golden nights Once more see city lights, holding candles to the flame Brilliant days, wake up on brilliant days Shadows of brilliant ways will change me all the time Somewhere there is some place That one million eyes can't see And somewhere there is someone Who can see what I can see? Someone, somewhere in summertime Someone, somewhere in summertime Someone, somewhere in summertime Someone, somewhere in summertime Someone, somewhere in summertime Someone, somewhere in summertime Someone, somewhere in summertime Someone, somewhere in summertime
Danke SM für die Zeitreise. Damals erlebte ich meine beste Zeit, so wie viele von uns. Gibt einem immer wieder ein gutes Gefühl. Danke für die Zeitreise.

Stay strong
❤🇧🇷
Unfortunately all we have left now are memories thanks guys.
SIMPLE MINDS One of the best 80s bands deserves to be in the hall of fame.
The perfect merging of punchy synth and atmospheric guitar and a singer who can actually belt it out. Didn't know back then how lucky we were in the 80's. Ain't that always the case with passing time.
Best song ever. So many memories. So beautiful. This song lifts my soul.
When people talk about Simple Minds it's usually "Don't You (Forget About Me)" or "Alive And Kicking".
That's all right to a degree but for me if I had to pick one song and one song only it would be this song.
It's just so beautiful!!
Agree. Just told the missus (who is a major fan) that this is my fav SM song
Art & Talk you got that right
+1
Agreed👍
big sleep me
It will always be...someone...somewhere....in summertime! ❤ always! Love you. Simple Minds Forever
What a hauntingly beautiful song and what a great lineup with Mel on the drums.
They are really Incredible my dream come true to see them can’t wait to see them again .someone said they are defined by 2songs but if you’re a true fan you are defined by them all
Mel looks bored
This song is timeless, if I didn’t know the song is from the glorious 80’s, and you tell me it was just reliased yesterday i’d believe you in a heart beat...
One of the best bands of the 80,s ,and still today 👍.
In case I'd meet someone from another planet asking me about Simple Minds, I'd certainly choose this song to 'introduce him' into their world and sound! A real masterpiece!
❤❤
The music to this song has never sounded better. Epic.
No words to describe Simple Minds.... Epic Band!!!!
I’m 53 today say them live when I was 16. Incredible show.
One of my favourite SM tracks. Brings back so many memories of my teenage years back in the 1980s
Mon the well, and the minds....
Beautifull Scotish People!!! Here... You're Argentinian Brothers love you....
This is their best song, such a ethereal and surreal sound that few bands have been able to capture
blue nile,,,,same city ,,,same era,,,,,song tinsel town in the rain....check it ,,,,glasgow was rocking...
Definitely one of the mega bands of the 80s and into the 90s. They produced a very individual style which combined a range of styles. Proved highly popular and still are..
Some people say that this song takes them back, but to me this song made me feel good 36 years ago and still makes me feel good 36 years later...
The intro from the extended version is perfect,what an amazing night it must have been.
Una delle più belle canzoni della mia gioventù ❤
Well done the boys
2022... Am crying...Love this...Jim's voice gets better with time...
33 years ago since Charlie played those spellbinding opening chords at sunset in Roskilde. Forever my favourite anthem.
Song has soul
Vi seguo da sempre e avete segnato la mia vita adolescenziale e attuale... Strabilianti e memorabili da sempre e per sempre... Da un italiano ex marinaio del 68 che per un quarto di secolo ha girato il mondo accompagnato dalla vostra musica... Grazie per la vostra dedizione
FANTASTIC...
One of the best Live Bands I've seen, the symbiotic relation between the guitar & voice, they created timeless songs, many thanks for that!
Wow. Wish I could have been there. This track for me just instantly takes me back to the carefree days of my youth...
We grew up on the Glasgow housing estates listening to this brilliant music in the mid 80s xx
My favourite Simple Minds tune ever. Charlie & Jim looking great!
Totally agree 👍
Sei indimenticabile Jim!! La tua musica ci ha semplicemente aiutato a vivere!! Grazie
a unique band with their own sound, never ever matched by others. i love u guys.
Sono 30 anni che li ascolto e mi emoziono ancora
Bring back the 80's !
All songs from the album New Gold Dream are amazing, and this song is one of them!
Best
You called it, I think NGD is my fav.
GLITTERING PRICE IT'S THE CAPOLAVORO IN XX SECOLO!!!!!
THIS ALBUN US CHE BEST ON ALL' THE TIME!!!!

Someone, Somewhere in Summertime is from 1982, that makes it *41* years old. And it still sounds amazing today.
1980s high school days in Southern California.👍
Saw this amazing gift to music that is the Minds in 84 at the Caird Hall in Dundee....what a gig and what a band....outstanding...and Charlie Burchill still a guitaring influence to this 53 year old...
I was at that gig too. Brilliant performance !
Uno di quei capolavori che potrei ascoltare all'infinito. Per me uno dei più bei pezzi di tutta la storia della musica 💜
come tutto quel Meraviglioso LP (New Gold Dream 81-82-83-84), trovare un pezzo brutto in quel 33 giri...è roba da archeologi
Ho il vinile In The City of Lights e credo di averlo consumato soprattutto in corrispondenza di questa canzone e di Ghostdancing
Sicuramente 👍
sono dei genii!!!!!!!!!
I will always be grateful for them coming to play at the Manly Vale Hotel in Sydney (twice) and so should they be grateful. We went through an era together that no one could dream about now. Some of us, somewhere in summertime.
Mon tout 1er album 33 tours ....j'avais 12 ans !!! Et pour moi ce fut le meilleur album de tous les temps !!!💪🏻😘👍🏻
La loro musica mi fa viaggiare da sempre...
Anqe a me.

Anche a me.

One of my all time favourites, IF NOT THE FAVOURITE SONG OF ALL TIMES!
Still to this day THE best livebanf I havr ever experienced. Have loved SimpleMinds since 1988.
One of the best band of the 80's...... Best live performance and sound is amazing,keyboards,drums yeaaahh baby 😃Derek Forbes bass line 😀
I'm not big on Simple Minds if I'm being honest but there is something about this song. I'll you what that something is - it's f***ing brilliant, that's what!
My God 25-12-2020 !!!!! Fantastic
This is an absolutely amazing song takes me back to the good times and it's up there with the best ❤
What a song! I'm 48 and I've been listening to this masterpiece since 1982. My 3 children know the song of course. What a band! Thanks Jim, Thanks Charlie.for what you gave me since I was a little boy. See you on the road soon I🏴🎸🙏
This looks like the Edinburgh Playhouse, which is a Fantsatic Venue, been there many times. Wish I had been there for this Gig....Just Brilliant.....
How time flies. The most beautiful memories of indefinable childhood ❤. Adore him 👌
Reminds me of the greatest times in the early 80s what a brilliant song
L'essenza degli anni 80 in questa canzone. Anni bellissimi e spensierati. W i Simple Minds ❤️
Da pelle d'oca! Non tanto per i vent'anni andati, ma perchè questo gruppo era veramente ad un altro livello!
Have seen these seven times and only get better
My favorite song by Simple Minds easily. Reminds me of the summer of 1985 West Germany but spent the most special week of my life on this one week trip in West Berlin. She had eyes like large, blue (azule ?) pools. Love at first sight 35 years ago. I can never forget, even if I wanted.

@@paulalexander633 I suppose she went her way. Heck, I would have followed her to Finland like some lost puppy. But I suspect she had a boyfriend. The different languages thing did not help.

One of the Best Songs from the 80`s
Ooooh yeahhh whohou..his voice, the sound of the band..OMG...WE LOVE YOU😙✌♥️😚
Great song. A fantastic band.
Saw them last week in Amsterdam.
I saw them yesterday in Luxemburg, Rockhal. It was great!
I love simple minds and this for me is their greatest, musically deepest, catchiest meaningful track. Love love hashtag LOVE
Not Simple Minds' best song. Not my favourite Simple Minds song either. But is this the quintessential Simple Minds song?
Y love simple minds
One of the best bands ever
It's still to this day a beautiful song. Reminds me of so many summers past.
My favorite band and one of my favorite songs. Somehow their music takes me to a special place and there's no other way to get there. 💞
SM ever and forever.
Maurizio from Rijeka Croatia
My absolute fave by them. Wonderful memories of a special time
Che anni meravigliosi!!! la musica più grande fantastici 👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥
Ben detto 👍👏
This is great, they are the best group to come out of the UK and so under rated. Saw them live in Leicester same tour, the live sound quality is superb. A must go see band.

Wat een fantastische band. Zij met Golden Earring en Ice House de soundtrack van mijn leven. Verleden in Carre te Amsterdam waren zij magic.
Just a brilliant song, so much mood,power and melody and of course memories of days gone by.This song is timeless! They still sound great!
They are a well known music group world wide! I love most of their hits,! 😀❤️

an iconic album that so many bands fed from still symbolic of that time my heart rises with it
I migliori....che altro....
One of my all time favorites! I was a teenager when this song came out. So many great memories attached to this song. It still gives me goosebumps.
Je l'adore, il me fais ressentir tellement d'émotions ce type, quelle voix, wow
Oh my word, what a tune!
What an amazing live performance, ...lucky one who were there !
My fave band of all time.Music is just not the same anymore. Superb.
One of my all time favorite songs. The album is classic and remembers me of my youth. Wauw
Timeless Masterpiece
"20TH CENTURY ......... FOX" WHO ĶNWOW THIS? CHI LA CONOSCE?

Con un simple puffffffffffff.... Que sonido que voz que bajo que batería ...... Me hace soñar y volar. Gracias simple minds.
A mi también me emociona mucho. ❤
Someone Somewhere (In Summertime)
Simple Minds
Stay, I'm burning slow, with me in the rain
Walking in the soft rain, calling out my name
See me burning slow
Brilliant days
Wake up on brilliant days
Shadows of brilliant ways will change all the time
Memories
Burning gold memories
Gold of day memories change me in these times
Somewhere there is some place
That one million eyes can't see
And somewhere there is someone
Who can see what I can see?
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Stay, I'm burning slow, with me in the rain
Walking in the soft rain, calling out my name
See me burning slow
Moments burn, slow burning golden nights
Once more see city lights, holding candles to the flame
Brilliant days, wake up on brilliant days
Shadows of brilliant ways will change me all the time
Somewhere there is some place
That one million eyes can't see
And somewhere there is someone
Who can see what I can see?
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Thx For Posting Lyric Brother 🎵🎼🎶🎼🎶🎤😎👊
This song is pure energy,the Best song ever Heard in My life, simply Magic.
Watching this makes me sad as we can no longer gather like this at the moment.
Alucinante, elegante, ……. Grandes reyes de la musica
La mejor banda del mundo 🌎
Absolutely love this, was there that night stood next to the mixing desk, perfect view, perfect sound, just a perfect night
