I was a little French girl from the 80s, I was so lucky to grow up with this song and video ! I remember singing "I love you Kiking" in the school playground !!!! Thank you for this wonderful song, for this magic, thank you to you, thank you to Robin Clark, thank you for the piano, the drums, the luminous love, what happiness !!! I'm always moved when I hear it...
Yep it's European invasion back then I was MAYBE a bit older but as 1st Gen Scots American with Scot cousin now married in FRANCE I can't figure anything in world from Seattle just this song is always here when I need it most.
If you enjoyed this music in the 80s, congratulations. If you are reading this, it means, that you are alive and kicking. Hope you live many more years because life is beautiful.
Hang in there everyday you are winning. Even though it may not feel that way right now. I love you even though I know you. I also suffer under the bullied by depression. Try JW.Org it truly helps you understand all these things better.
That's a tough one just played album outside today New Gold Dream in sun outside Seattle. Big Sleep hits me hard every time. But for production probably right. Promised you a Miracle up there.
Bands like "Simple Minds" were cutting edge in the 80's. Everything was changing to electronics and MTV. We look back now and realize just how special our decade was. It seems like a lifetime ago, but they were some of the best years of our lives.
Exactly! I remember the first day MTV aired. I literally ran home from school just in time to see it air. Simple minds was and is a great band. I remember seeing The breakfast club for the first time....I thought, finally a movie that gets us!
Today I am very grateful to turn 62! I'm alive and kicking! I will also celebrate 22 years of sobriety in May so I have a lot to be thankful for! Thank you Creator for another day!❤
This one does it for me, every time. One of the best moments from the 80s, and such a classic! The lead singer's tremendous vocals, his inflections, and then Miss Diva shows up and hammers it even further. This speaks to my youth when I was hanging with some of my best buddies who have already left this realm -- Cedric, Heidi, Joyce, Ricky, Michael -- I'm still alive and kicking you-all, and remembering when!
Back then we all took this for granted because it was played so much on the radio.. but now you listen to it and realize there is not much coming out that can even think about competing with this.. and this dudes voice is just on another level from most male singers IMO.
I'd be honored if some 80s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of SISTER CHRISTIAN by Night Ranger, IS THIS LOVE by Whitesnake, and RADIO GA-GA by Queen in tribute to the age of legendary power ballads. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Stay safe and keep on rocking in the '020s.
The 80s had the best music. There were so many different genres. Musicians actually played musical instruments, singers actually sang, no auto tune. No misogynistic rap crap. The music was danceable and fun. What happened??
@@akm2743I guess what they are saying is it wasn’t to the fore, the perverts and shallow thought were all in the closet, recognising the shame and not flaunting their attitudes shamelessly.

It happened last week. My mother was in the nursery home in the Netherlands, she is 90 years old and in the last days of her life. My wife and me were in the car, coming from Denmark on our way to the Netherlands, to make sure to be in time before she passed away. When we were half an hour on the road, we got a phone call from the nursery home, that my mother just passed away. We did not make it and were too late. I pulled the car aside on a parking lot, and just when we stopped, the Simple Minds - Alive and kicking was played on the Danish radio. Just on the exact moment that we heard that my mam passed away. My wife and and me hugged each other and bursted in tears. I miss you mam, R.I.P., be alive and kicking in heaven.
52yrs old. I love this song. Graduated high school in 1984. This one of the best songs and still is. Yes I'm old but still kicking. Wish more like me out there. Phoenix, AZ USA
I used to visit Phoenix and Scottsdale in the 80’s for vacation at my uncles huge house. He had a pool I would lay by all day swimming and jamming. I’m 47. What a cool song. Oh, and I lived in San Diego. When I went back people would freak on how dark my tan was. Haha!
@@CarlMazur I guess aside by the swimming pool you had a radio which used to play 80s music hits. Btw I'm 14 but I love 80s & 70s music thanks to my dad for introducing me to it
Amigo tenho 56,aqui no Brasil também foi a última década de músicas de alto nível,temos um grupo no ZAP só pode postar músicas ,a maioria de qualidade,
This is a song that I remember from my teenage years. Now it’s giving me new hope as I’m going through a very rough time in my life and I’m struggling with the dark demons of depression. This is such a great, uplifting song. Thanks Jim Kerr and Simple Minds!
I'm going through serious stress anxiety and depression myself and I'm up and down like a hookers knickers but we just have to keep strong and take stuff day by day as 2019/20/21/22 are four of the darkest years of my life and many others are saying the same!!!
I'll be 60 years old this year. I've lived almost six decades and yet, the best music still came from the 80's. And there's not just one powerhouse group. There were dozens and dozens. Simple Minds may have been just one of many but they were never just Simple Minds. Their music rocked stadiums, night clubs, and many private parties in the Air Force dorms. We had the best music, the best clothes, and the biggest hair. Never been another decade like it. Never will be.
I have never been young in the 80s. I was born in 1998. Today, something brought me here. Listening this in 2022, I got shivers all over my spine. Such a great song that makes me happy, young and alive for no reason. I even teared up when the piano part hit. Strange feeling of nostalgia for the times that never existed in my life...
The music of the 80"s was alive and kicking and is alive and kicking still today. There was life, joy, energy, and power in each music of this age. I am proud with my 51 years old because we lived this age so marvelous. There will be no more time like those years.
Simple Minds - quietly one of the best bands of the 80's era. You just don't realize how big this band was until you start listening to all the hit songs from this time frame. I am on of their biggest fans - graduating HS is 1987 - I still have printed on my checks "ALIVE AND KICKING"........and will never change that!!!!
from '66 too? I am. I too write "alive & kickin'" here or there every now and then ;-) I agree, it's in hindsight that you realize how good much of the 80s music really was. Amazing. Nothing like it.
I graduated in 1987, too. But, I wasn't a fan. I was more into U2, Madonna The Cure, Susie and the Bianchi, Duran Duran. I heard this song a lot, but it didn't stick. I guess, I was more into pop. INXS. I loved them and The Violet Fams.
My sweet beautiful wife of over 40 years has the worst singing voice. But when she starts singing with this song whenever she hears it, it brings such joy to my heart.
This was one of the most beautiful track out of the 80s I can remember sitting in the car this song playing feeling free and alive It was a great time with even greater music. Thanks Simple Minds
11.7.2024 I was 20 in 1981: so many choices of exceptional bands and artists. I’m proud to say I’m still working in Healthcare, still loving that and definitely, Simple Minds, this song, ‘Alive And Kicking,’ in particular. I’m now 63😮Who else is listening???? Love, Wendy from Australia ❤
I can’t believe that I have neglected to listen to so much of the 1980s music. I’m now totally into bands like Simple Minds, Tears For Fears, Spandau Ballet, Talk Talk, and I’m still just scratching the surface. There is a plethora of amazing 80s pop and rock music that I must explore.
I suppose one of the upsides to a decade filled with one hit wonders due to oversaturation is that there is a LOT of enjoyable content to listen to. One of the more unknown successful groups though is Sisters of Mercy, do give them a listen certainly.
There is no way around it ..... Thank God I was born in the 60s, grew up in the 70s, and got married in the 80s .... 3 of the greatest decades of music that never will be repeated again .... Lived , Loved, Laughed, and Danced during them .... the youth today I would love to take you back with me and live them all over again
+JOHNNY .BOY I couldn't have said that better --- we were blessed and there was a special sound about great music that was made in the 80s that you can just know that is the decade it was pressed to the album. I was born in 65 and I used to sit during the 70s with my 45s and play them for hours. Remember the little plasic thing that you used to have to put into the middle of a 45 so that it could play on a 33 turntable? Well, if you want to have some fun, find one of those and show it to a kid of the younger generation today and ask if they can figure out what it is for (lol) --- Keep listening to the choice music, friends. I'll see you around the videos.
You know, one of the best things about being in my 50's now is that I lived my teenage years in the 80's..........Priceless and I wouldn't change them for the world!🇬🇧
I remember when this song was current, and I was always moved by it. The whole song works so well, the words the singers, the strength in the arrangement. Still uplifting as ever. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
@@marcdaniels9079 Just stating facts. The amount of musicians, bands, albums, concerts, legendary festivals, all kinds of genres. 1966-1974 ,best time ever for music
My mom always told me that this was her song because she was fighting Cerebral Palsy, a Stroke and COPD. My mom was always on bedrest after she had her Stroke. My mom went to Heaven last year. I love you Mom and this song is for you. R.I.P. Mom (1966-2023). I'm also alive and kicking myself because I'm suffering with Type 1 Diabetes. I pray to God that he will find a cure for it one day. I was diagnosed at 9 years old. I'm 19 now and I am alive and kicking. No person should ever have to suffer illnesses or diseases.
Type one you can cure with diet and exercise..!!! My sister has type 1.. and she definitely has to do both..!! Bless you..!!! Eat God given food, and just get walking..🥰🙏👍
This song gives me so much hope. Incredible writing and lyrics in a song, really speaks to me. God bless the people that made this song possible. So much inspiration!!!
It's like your reading from my diary Phil 💪👍, the 80's is the most epic of decade's, best buzz ever, I just wanna pump some iconic gems then go and watch the breakfast club, what a night🙏👊💪👍
@@glenevansburns1128 I was 17, born in 68. This song brings back sooooo many great memories!! It sounds even better now with age; this is absolutely timeless!!
I'm very proud of my generation. I grew up listening to great bands and singers. I love bands of the 70's and 80's. Simple Minds is one of them. I love this incredible song 'Alive and kicking'! It makes me feel alive! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
You turn me on You lift me up Like the sweetest cup I'd share with you You lift me up Don't you ever stop, I'm here with you Now it's all or nothing 'Cause you say you'll follow through You follow me, and i, i, I follow you What you gonna do when things go wrong? What you gonna do when it all cracks up? What you gonna do when the love burns down? What you gonna do when the flames go up? Who is gonna come and turn the tide? What's it gonna take to make a dream survive? Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside? Who's gonna save you? Alive and kicking Stay until your love is Alive and kicking Stay 'til your love is Until your love is, alive Oh You lift me up To the crucial top, so I can see Oh you lead me on, till the feelings come And the lights that shine on But if that don't mean nothing Like if someday it should fall through You'll take me home where the magic's from And I'll be with you What you gonna do when things go wrong? What you gonna do when it all cracks up? What you gonna do when the love burns down? What you gonna do when the flames go up? Who is gonna come and turn the tide? What's it gonna take to make a dream survive? Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside? Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye In the final seconds who's gonna save you? Ooh oh, oh oh Alive and kicking Oh stay until your love is Love is Alive and kicking Ooh oh, oh oh Alive and kicking Oh stay until your love is, love is Alive and kicking Ooh oh Alive and kicking Stay until your love is Alive and kicking, oh Stay until your love is Alive and kicking, oh Stay until your love
I graduated in 1987. We really had no idea what an amazing time in history that decade was going to be and how lucky we were to be young then. The music is still amazing now. Timeless really.
The most optimistic and inspirational pop song I have ever heard. I am 40 and just discovered this somehow 4 years ago. Missed quite the big boat on this one! My favorite song.
Me too. I think I remember hearing it sometime in 1985 like in October or November. Could have been September. Never forgot it. I may have liked it then.
I'm 82 years young this year still alive but don't do much kicking, I'm still able to Rock a bit, mainly in my rocking chair. Love and peace from Australia 😎🦘🎵🎶🎶🎵
@@iandenton1406 Hello Ian. I don't know how much longer I'll be alive and kicking, just heard from Fiona Stanley hospital that I've got pretty aggressive Lung cancer, as you might have guessed I'm in WA too. Still I've had a pretty good innings at 82 ,keep on rocking mate. 😎🖐🎵🎶🎵
My idea have this song in movie about my life maybe starring learndo DiCaprio as me I survived hit n run, attempt robbery, attempt carjacking, food positioning, attempt murder, survived car wreck when I was kid, survived in Colorado on rails of hope, met preacher who rode bike thousands of miles to preach when I was on streets, saved a lady from being chased by machete, saved a guy in my trailer cpr, saved my uncle who had seizure when I was kid, imbed cliff shocked ppl I was around grateful and thankful god is good like to see him as me in movie based on true events
The song would not be what is should be without her backing vocals. algorithyms do not understand these kind of things. I was born in 1972, graduateed in 1990, and I still find this one every weekend. Thumbs up
I was 15 in 1985. I was playing with a mate on a building site and we were messing around with throwing rocks. Then I got hit in the mouth by a rock. I had a big cut in my upper lip and I was missing two teeth. I was sick at home for a while and because I was so sick and miserable my mum bought the single "Alive and Kicking" by Simple Minds. My soul was already sold on Simple Minds because of their earlier song "Don't You Forget About Me". I'm 54 now and I've grown to appreciate Simple Minds' music even more, up until "Street Fighting Years". After that I kind of lost them, I think it was because Mick MacNeil left the band. Their music is so incredibly beautiful. Simple Minds are the most underrated band of the 80s.
I love how music brings people together. I listen to this and feel nostalgic and happy and I see so many comments reflecting the same sentiments. 80s music will always be my favorite, but music in general is just so damn essential to humanity!
We had no clue that we were living in the best era of music. We thought it would continue forever. Thankfully we have access to remind ourselves how good it was
Absolutely! The song was written by members of the band. They had invested themselves into their craft. Their passion and creativity are here in the beauty that they put forth. When we humans put forth that kind of energy in anything we are created to do, it blesses EVERYONE who can appreciate it. Are there still singer/song writers today?
Yes I can only listen to my Christian music Hebrew worship songs and some of the good 80s Thank you simple minds for simple yet beautiful Grand music. I LOVE his voice. I love the beauty of Gods art in your music. Thank you Jesus. The Heavens declare his Glory the skies the work of his hands psalm 19:1 Read Heaven by Randy Alcorn This is one of my secular picks for songs I hope God will let me have in Heaven haha 🤣 I can’t wait. Maranatha
I'd be honored if some 80s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of 80s classic songs on my YT channel. Covers include Sting, Prince, George Michael, Phil Collins, Tom Petty, Kenny Loggins, Billy Joel, Earth Wind & Fire, plus a couple of '010s classics from Bruno Mars and Coldplay. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
This song is immortal. I am 62. My kids love it. I love it. I only saw the video recently (last 5-10 years) because could not afford MTV back in the day. Love it! It is one of the songs that makes life worth living and certainly an epic from the 1980s.
To me this song is pure magic. The video, the lyrics, the music and both their voices brings shivers down one's spine. I never get tired of listening. The introduction is out of this world !
no, there is some great music being written right now, but it´s not mainstream music, it is the indie underground artist, but most people dont appreciate them or even care, and thats the truth
Albert Bevia yes I have to agree with you. Kids nowadays listen to complete and utter rubbish. Music industry is gone. I personally think once all the legends have gone music will become history.
Another absolutely amazing song from 80s. Love it, love all the music from that era, great sound, great uplifting and makes you feel good. Brings back a lot of nostalgia and great memories. Absolutely incredible.
glad u like it, was given 3 to 6 months to live with lung cancer. now in remission well over a year now. so i suppose still here to drive others crazy. but they LUV me 8*)
Who listens to music from the 20's anymore? Kids. Even in the 2010's, adults could listen to the stuff kids listened to somewhat, now it's all utter fucking dross.
London in the 80's had to be nothing short of wonderful. I often tell people I'd gladly trade the remaining 30 years of my life for the opportunity to go back 30 years and have a do-over.
Back in 1985, when I was pregnant with our first child, I was in a bad car accident, then not a month later a chair collapsed under me at work. We were so worried that we lost the baby, but then he’d resume his rolling and kicking. Yay!!! We dedicated this song to our child! …. I love this song!!!
My second favorite song because it was The Best time in my life . Having terminal cancer makes me appreciate my best years. This song will go on forever even as after I'm gone!
Continue... Life is good when people like you that don't even Know me show Care for what I'm facing every day. Thank you again ,it means alot to me. Sincerely Dino Racicot.
God bless you. I just had 3 months of chemo and a double mastectomy last month. My Dr said she got it all,but my friend had the same cancer and thought she was ok. Inflammatory Breast cancer is rare and aggressive so I'm still scared. I'll be having 7 and a half months of more chemo and 6 weeks of radiation. I'll be praying for you and for a cure. I love you warrior!
Grew up in isolated farm in Africa. listened to all their songs and albums in surround sound top volume. We'd stand under clear African sky and let the rhythm cover us. Great memories.
I'd be honored if some fans of classic 80s rock anthems would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of EYE OF THE TIGER by Survivor, WHO'S CRYING NOW by Journey, and AGAINST ALL ODDS by Phil Collins on my YT channel in tribute to the era of legendary power ballads. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and keep on rocking.
Wow what a great story. I had chills reading this. Thank you ! P.S. Visited Africa twice Ghana 1998 Cape Verde Islands 2010 Everyone should see Africa once in their life ! Michael G
Born in 87 with much older Gen X sisters so I appreciated 80s music much more than music that released during my prime. At times, I wish I was born in the early 70s so I could've seen this stuff as it released. Would make seeing today's pop culture that much more painful though.
The piano break at 3:20 always hits me in the feels. I think I had an alarm clock that would play something that sounded similar to it so it always makes me feel nostalgic. I wasn’t alive in the 80s, but boy do I love what came out of it.
I cry when I hear this song because I think of my dad. I drew him a picture years ago that said, "Alive and Kicking". He passed away a couple months later. I miss you Pop. 💖
I feel ur pain..I lost mines 9 months ago due to Demintra & menastatic prostate after minding him for 18 months was a tough battle..U stay strong..God knows best & may their souls fly in Zion 🕊🕊🕊🙏🏾😇
As i set here in the uncertainty of this Corona Virus pandemic this song instantly transforms me back to the fall of 1985 to my 20 year old self with the whole future at my feet and not a worry in the world. I don't know what the future brings but enjoy your youth as it will fly by faster than you know and never take a minute of it for granted!

Her vocal gymnastic solo is the highlight of the song for me 👌🏽

It happened last week. My mother was in the nursery home in the Netherlands, she is 90 years old and in the last days of her life. My wife and me were in the car, coming from Denmark on our way to the Netherlands, to make sure to be in time before she passed away. When we were half an hour on the road, we got a phone call from the nursery home, that my mother just passed away. We did not make it and were too late. I pulled the car aside on a parking lot, and just when we stopped, the Simple Minds - Alive and kicking was played on the Danish radio. Just on the exact moment that we heard that my mam passed away. My wife and and me hugged each other and bursted in tears. I miss you mam, R.I.P., be alive and kicking in heaven.
One thing I learned when my dad pass away is that he is always in my mind and my heart.....and one day we will see again
So sad
Much love ❤❤
Perfect Song for Such a sad moment

I'm an 80's kid. Let me tell you, this and "Don't you forget about me" is the core of my soul. It rocked my world and it still does.
80's kid here too...We had the BEST music!!!
This is better than Don't You (Forget About Me). See The Lights from 1991 is their best.
I was a teenager and in my early twenties in the 80's. A great time to have grown up. But I still think the 70's had the best music.
52yrs old. I love this song. Graduated high school in 1984. This one of the best songs and still is. Yes I'm old but still kicking. Wish more like me out there.

Amigo tenho 56,aqui no Brasil também foi a última década de músicas de alto nível,temos um grupo no ZAP só pode postar músicas ,a maioria de qualidade,
Congratulations to @Simple Minds for reaching 100 million views of such a quality classic song!
Those were the years when you could enjoy singing, clapping and dancing as well. I lived in and enjoyed 80's to the fullest.
OMG. Vocals, piano, drums, guitar, base, everything...superb sounds...just the best song
Real talent real music my son 🍷💊🍺🤘⛽🦞🍺🍺🍺🍺🚀🚀
This song says it all. The 80's were the best days of my life.
This is a song that I remember from my teenage years. Now it’s giving me new hope as I’m going through a very rough time in my life and I’m struggling with the dark demons of depression. This is such a great, uplifting song. Thanks Jim Kerr and Simple Minds!
I wish you will have enough power to keep your head up high. Maybe "let there be love" from Simple Minds will brighten your days and nights.
I'm going through serious stress anxiety and depression myself and I'm up and down like a hookers knickers but we just have to keep strong and take stuff day by day as 2019/20/21/22 are four of the darkest years of my life and many others are saying the same!!!
@@RiDankulous thanks.
Your sins will lead you to a very dar path in you're life..thanks God bless
Weve all been there man. I hope you get the help you need. I did and it made all the difference.
This song is what dream's are made of...........
Pure class!
Ernie Bert :Agreed.
I'll be 60 years old this year. I've lived almost six decades and yet, the best music still came from the 80's. And there's not just one powerhouse group. There were dozens and dozens. Simple Minds may have been just one of many but they were never just Simple Minds. Their music rocked stadiums, night clubs, and many private parties in the Air Force dorms. We had the best music, the best clothes, and the biggest hair. Never been another decade like it. Never will be.
Well said.. 👍👍
Awesome it was . fuck yeah!
it's cos we didn't have woke, globalists trying to destroy us, happier time, better governance and
I listened to this when I was 16,1984 a group of us went to Croyd bay, camp site
I sooooooooooooooooooooooooo agree. The best! x
When music was music❤
I have never been young in the 80s. I was born in 1998. Today, something brought me here. Listening this in 2022, I got shivers all over my spine. Such a great song that makes me happy, young and alive for no reason. I even teared up when the piano part hit. Strange feeling of nostalgia for the
times that never existed in my life...
imagine a life with no internet too.
@@peacelovingmusicwarrior5823 It was so great.
Welcome to the '80s bro
Wish you were there...but then, maybe you were in a previous life.
I'm that way with 60's folk/rock transition.
The music of the 80"s was alive and kicking and is alive and kicking still today. There was life, joy, energy, and power in each music of this age. I am proud with my 51 years old because we lived this age so marvelous. There will be no more time like those years.
Right there with ya. Proud Class of 1989. The best years, the best music, the best of times.
Amen . . . perfectly said. I'm almost 56 and there's never been a better decade for music.
And its all coming back, like the vinels. 💪❤️
Great way to describe it, which is why I tend to gravitate to it.
Me too 55
Simple Minds - quietly one of the best bands of the 80's era. You just don't realize how big this band was until you start listening to all the hit songs from this time frame. I am on of their biggest fans - graduating HS is 1987 - I still have printed on my checks "ALIVE AND KICKING"........and will never change that!!!!
from '66 too? I am. I too write "alive & kickin'" here or there every now and then ;-) I agree, it's in hindsight that you realize how good much of the 80s music really was. Amazing. Nothing like it.
I graduated in 1987, too. But, I wasn't a fan. I was more into U2, Madonna The Cure, Susie and the Bianchi, Duran Duran. I heard this song a lot, but it didn't stick. I guess, I was more into pop. INXS. I loved them and The Violet Fams.
You should go further back.
This is quite rubbish compared to the previous albums.
@@DebbieTDP I don't think it's about how good the song is, it's about capturing an emotional picture in the youthful mind.
@@saraswatisky3119 Siouxie and the Banshees. Violent Femmes 🤭
My sweet beautiful wife of over 40 years has the worst singing voice. But when she starts singing with this song whenever she hears it, it brings such joy to my heart.
You got really lucky, most of us didn't get that kind of thing.
The 80s will keep bringing back memories albeit gone forever.
Yes, you are so right
I'm 55 and this was my era, so grateful to have been a part of it! Watching in 2022🤩💫👍
im 50 turn 20 every time i hear them lol!!
Hi hoch 3,bin 52 und habe eine tiefe Beziehung zur Musik dieser Zeit
@@mrm8850 oh,jaaa
Ditto...55 here. Retired and reliving my past tonight 😏
I knew a Sharon. I miss her. Funny, beautiful and a kind soul.
This was one of the most beautiful track out of the 80s
I can remember sitting in the car this song playing feeling free and alive
It was a great time with even greater music. Thanks Simple Minds
@vanya ✌️
11.7.2024 I was 20 in 1981: so many choices of exceptional bands and artists.
I’m proud to say I’m still working in Healthcare, still loving that and definitely, Simple Minds, this song, ‘Alive And Kicking,’ in particular. I’m now 63😮Who else is listening????
Love, Wendy from Australia ❤

This song is perfection.
Absolutamente de acuerdo

Alive and kicking. That's all we all need to be happy in life . YOUR HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH!!
Amen! 🙏 You got that right! 💯
❤ right!
I can’t believe that I have neglected to listen to so much of the 1980s music. I’m now totally into bands like Simple Minds, Tears For Fears, Spandau Ballet, Talk Talk, and I’m still just scratching the surface. There is a plethora of amazing 80s pop and rock music that I must explore.
Try some Erasure and Duran Duran bro...if you want rock try AC/DC or Metallica...cool tunes to ease the soul man.👍
Talking Heads. New Order.
I suppose one of the upsides to a decade filled with one hit wonders due to oversaturation is that there is a LOT of enjoyable content to listen to. One of the more unknown successful groups though is Sisters of Mercy, do give them a listen certainly.
The Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen
There's an awesome German band too, Nena
80's era was absolutely the BEST
Absolutely 💯
The 80's was so fa,sad it's now just memories
Born in 87. I feel such a connection with music like this. I'm actually in love with it. It's crazy that music is what it is today.
Yeah this is the song
It was the peak of music. 90s dropped a bit from there and has been tumbling since
There is no way around it ..... Thank God I was born in the 60s, grew up in the 70s, and got married in the 80s .... 3 of the greatest decades of music that never will be repeated again .... Lived , Loved, Laughed, and Danced during them .... the youth today I would love to take you back with me and live them all over again
+JOHNNY .BOY i gotta totally agree with ya bro!... :-)
+JOHNNY .BOY I couldn't have said that better --- we were blessed and there was a special sound about great music that was made in the 80s that you can just know that is the decade it was pressed to the album. I was born in 65 and I used to sit during the 70s with my 45s and play them for hours. Remember the little plasic thing that you used to have to put into the middle of a 45 so that it could play on a 33 turntable? Well, if you want to have some fun, find one of those and show it to a kid of the younger generation today and ask if they can figure out what it is for (lol) --- Keep listening to the choice music, friends. I'll see you around the videos.
+JOHNNY .BOY You speak the truth :)
100% mate. Great statement.
Well said Johnny Boy!!
You know, one of the best things about being in my 50's now is that I lived my teenage years in the 80's..........Priceless and I wouldn't change them for the world!🇬🇧
Better everything
Could not agree more!
I remember when this song was current, and I was always moved by it. The whole song works so well, the words the singers, the strength in the arrangement. Still uplifting as ever. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic backing vocal too! Great song 🎶 ❤
Damn straight alive and kicking. Just got done having heart surgery about 4 hours ago! Forever alive and kicking!!!
Shit, I haven't even been released yet and already celebrating!!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
I hope that your recovery has gone well for you.
All the best in Life to come!
Wow. I had heart surgery when I was a child! I had 3 holes in my heart. How cool!
A TRULY timeless and awesome song!
Oh yeah❤❤❤❤
I got 3 strokes and 2 heart attacks but I'm still here alive and kicking and still listening to this song this year 2023.

And I'm still alive ! 2024

Good song 80s music so many goodies
Late 60s and early 70s were the best
Comparison is the thief of joy ! @@latitudeselongitudes1932
Thank God - how boring that would be
@@marcdaniels9079
Just stating facts. The amount of musicians, bands, albums, concerts, legendary festivals, all kinds of genres. 1966-1974 ,best time ever for music
My mom always told me that this was her song because she was fighting Cerebral Palsy, a Stroke and COPD. My mom was always on bedrest after she had her Stroke. My mom went to Heaven last year. I love you Mom and this song is for you. R.I.P. Mom (1966-2023). I'm also alive and kicking myself because I'm suffering with Type 1 Diabetes. I pray to God that he will find a cure for it one day. I was diagnosed at 9 years old. I'm 19 now and I am alive and kicking. No person should ever have to suffer illnesses or diseases.
I agree. God has a better plan for us that includes no sickness and living forever. Rev. 21:3,4
🙏🔥🙏🔥🙏🔥
Type one you can cure with diet and exercise..!!! My sister has type 1.. and she definitely has to do both..!! Bless you..!!! Eat God given food, and just get walking..🥰🙏👍
❤❤❤
This song gives me so much hope. Incredible writing and lyrics in a song, really speaks to me. God bless the people that made this song possible. So much inspiration!!!
These 80s track never age! Make me feel alive and so euphoric when I here them. Epic.
Me too alive and kicking here in Idaho!!!
Yeah I was a 18 yo when this was alternative rotation on mtv
Agree 👍 fab song
It's like your reading from my diary Phil 💪👍, the 80's is the most epic of decade's, best buzz ever, I just wanna pump some iconic gems then go and watch the breakfast club, what a night🙏👊💪👍
@@glenevansburns1128 I was 17, born in 68. This song brings back sooooo many great memories!! It sounds even better now with age; this is absolutely timeless!!
I'm very proud of my generation. I grew up listening to great bands and singers. I love bands of the 70's and 80's. Simple Minds is one of them. I love this incredible song 'Alive and kicking'! It makes me feel alive! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wish I could have lived this great Era 👍 you're fortunate and blessed to have these wonderful memories ❤
Such a wonderful time in our life music was great
You turn me on
You lift me up
Like the sweetest cup I'd share with you
You lift me up
Don't you ever stop, I'm here with you
Now it's all or nothing
'Cause you say you'll follow through
You follow me, and i, i, I follow you
What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Who's gonna save you?
Alive and kicking
Stay until your love is
Alive and kicking
Stay 'til your love is
Until your love is, alive
Oh
You lift me up
To the crucial top, so I can see
Oh you lead me on, till the feelings come
And the lights that shine on
But if that don't mean nothing
Like if someday it should fall through
You'll take me home where the magic's from
And I'll be with you
What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye
In the final seconds who's gonna save you?
Ooh oh, oh oh
Alive and kicking
Oh stay until your love is
Love is
Alive and kicking
Ooh oh, oh oh
Alive and kicking
Oh stay until your love is, love is
Alive and kicking
Ooh oh
Alive and kicking
Stay until your love is
Alive and kicking, oh
Stay until your love is
Alive and kicking, oh
Stay until your love
Holy Lord this song is so beautiful, so spiritual, so gorgeous.

And so are her earrings.
Yes so powerful and clean….. 🏆🏆🏆
My high school years!!!! 1981-85. What a awesome period of time to be a teenager!!! Still love this music!!
The BEST music era🎸🥁🎤
That's alot of years in High School..I see you must have got left back 😮
1987
I graduated in 1987. We really had no idea what an amazing time in history that decade was going to be and how lucky we were to be young then. The music is still amazing now. Timeless really.
@@Bebe.B.
Same year for me
The 80s has to be the best era of music. Who's here in 2024

Seen them at Scarborough last week, absolutely brilliant
I'm here 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
@@yvonnegunn3731 how cool they are still rocking now
The most optimistic and inspirational pop song I have ever heard. I am 40 and just discovered this somehow 4 years ago. Missed quite the big boat on this one! My favorite song.
Me too. I think I remember hearing it sometime in 1985 like in October or November. Could have been September. Never forgot it. I may have liked it then.
Welcome to a classic friend, enjoy!
Idémodable une super ambiance pour danser toute la nuit avec les copines❣😘
I’m so happy for you!!!!❤️
40 years old guy here, too. Agreed, man ☺️
I'm 82 years young this year still alive but don't do much kicking, I'm still able to Rock a bit, mainly in my rocking chair. Love and peace from Australia 😎🦘🎵🎶🎶🎵

@@iandenton1406 Hello Ian. I don't know how much longer I'll be alive and kicking, just heard from Fiona Stanley hospital that I've got pretty aggressive Lung cancer, as you might have guessed I'm in WA too. Still I've had a pretty good innings at 82 ,keep on rocking mate. 😎🖐🎵🎶🎵
I love that they include the backing vocalist in the video - she absolutely slays in this song
Who is she?
My idea have this song in movie about my life maybe starring learndo DiCaprio as me I survived hit n run, attempt robbery, attempt carjacking, food positioning, attempt murder, survived car wreck when I was kid, survived in Colorado on rails of hope, met preacher who rode bike thousands of miles to preach when I was on streets, saved a lady from being chased by machete, saved a guy in my trailer cpr, saved my uncle who had seizure when I was kid, imbed cliff shocked ppl I was around grateful and thankful god is good like to see him as me in movie based on true events
The song would not be what is should be without her backing vocals. algorithyms do not understand these kind of things. I was born in 1972, graduateed in 1990, and I still find this one every weekend. Thumbs up
Robin Clark
@@shakypam Thanks
I was 15 in 1985. I was playing with a mate on a building site and we were messing around with throwing rocks. Then I got hit in the mouth by a rock. I had a big cut in my upper lip and I was missing two teeth. I was sick at home for a while and because I was so sick and miserable my mum bought the single "Alive and Kicking" by Simple Minds. My soul was already sold on Simple Minds because of their earlier song "Don't You Forget About Me". I'm 54 now and I've grown to appreciate Simple Minds' music even more, up until "Street Fighting Years". After that I kind of lost them, I think it was because Mick MacNeil left the band. Their music is so incredibly beautiful. Simple Minds are the most underrated band of the 80s.
I love how music brings people together. I listen to this and feel nostalgic and happy and I see so many comments reflecting the same sentiments. 80s music will always be my favorite, but music in general is just so damn essential to humanity!
It's impossible to listen to this and come away not feeling lifted up. Stands the test of time, and pure gold in 2020.
exactly! 💜it still
that was the music that we grew up listing to when we were in out teen in the 80 the best of music and times
@@carrieconlon70 Indeed. The best!

So true. I can be depressed for no longer than an hour at anytime anymore. Cause we have songs like this to take that shit away
❤😊 correcto
I like that I can play this song anytime I want and my depression lifts a little!
We had no clue that we were living in the best era of music. We thought it would continue forever. Thankfully we have access to remind ourselves how good it was
100% ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Can't forget about the bass line either. Classic
After 34 years the same chills. God bless these Simple Minds !

Absolutely!
The song was written by members of the band. They had invested themselves into their craft. Their passion and creativity are here in the beauty that they put forth. When we humans put forth that kind of energy in anything we are created to do, it blesses EVERYONE who can appreciate it.
Are there still singer/song writers today?
Yeah you know. Wow amazing tune.. soo many feeling and memory's
Yes I can only listen to my Christian music Hebrew worship songs and some of the good 80s
Thank you simple minds for simple yet beautiful Grand music. I LOVE his voice. I love the beauty of Gods art in your music. Thank you Jesus. The Heavens declare his Glory the skies the work of his hands psalm 19:1

Didnt have to have 34 years , to listen to so godamn music!!!!
the quality of music produced during the 80´s is just amazing. What a decade...im so glad i grew up with this sounds.
I'd be honored if some 80s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of 80s classic songs on my YT channel. Covers include Sting, Prince, George Michael, Phil Collins, Tom Petty, Kenny Loggins, Billy Joel, Earth Wind & Fire, plus a couple of '010s classics from Bruno Mars and Coldplay. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
Absolutamente de acuerdo. Es la década de la genialidad y brillantez en la música.
l so agree!!
Same
So glad I got to play all this stuff on radio back in the 80s!
This song is immortal. I am 62. My kids love it. I love it. I only saw the video recently (last 5-10 years) because could not afford MTV back in the day. Love it! It is one of the songs that makes life worth living and certainly an epic from the 1980s.
To me this song is pure magic. The video, the lyrics, the music and both their voices brings shivers down one's spine. I never get tired of listening. The introduction is out of this world !
You're on the money with that statement.
Sem falar numa bateria única
Everything you just said X 10. What a fantastic age we lived through. Thankful.
Only the guitarist, all in black is scaring the hell out of me !! 😨
2:11 that’s one serious drummer
This is the type of song that brings everything back to life for me, a real song written by a talented band. Music like this does not exist anymore :(
no, there is some great music being written right now, but it´s not mainstream music, it is the indie underground artist, but most people dont appreciate them or even care, and thats the truth
Albert Bevia yes I have to agree with you. Kids nowadays listen to complete and utter rubbish. Music industry is gone. I personally think once all the legends have gone music will become history.
You can say that again!
Albert Bevia Truth!
Albert Bevia totally agree with that comment bring back simple minds and Depche mode and the smiths
Another absolutely amazing song from 80s. Love it, love all the music from that era, great sound, great uplifting and makes you feel good. Brings back a lot of nostalgia and great memories. Absolutely incredible.
Cancão única, majestosa...ouvindo em 2023.
Viva a Música!!!!
yeah amazing period in time the 80s i went to see simple minds at Roundhay park leeds best band ever tony LUFC the best
Possibly the most uplifting song on God's Earth.Timeless too
Thumbs up for all of us who were young in the 80's and remember when this was new, and on cassette tape. Thanks.
👍
Oh yeah!..kick azz drummer stood out.
werent so young but loved this and all 80s stuff . wish i could turn the clock back
Or the vinyl...
glad u like it, was given 3 to 6 months to live with lung cancer. now in remission well over a year now. so i suppose still here to drive others crazy. but they LUV me 8*)

True story
Im 21 and still being blessed by these! Thanks
These songs turn me on
Verdade🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Who listens to music from the 20's anymore? Kids. Even in the 2010's, adults could listen to the stuff kids listened to somewhat, now it's all utter fucking dross.
The 80's were great. I left Virginia and moved to London in 1981. I was there for all of it.
London in the 80's had to be nothing short of wonderful. I often tell people I'd gladly trade the remaining 30 years of my life for the opportunity to go back 30 years and have a do-over.
It would be well worth it. lol
I moved from Virginia to the UK in '86. Wish it had been earlier!!
Why? Are you still there?
@@sharpeslass5452 Why? Are you still there?
Back in 1985, when I was pregnant with our first child, I was in a bad car accident, then not a month later a chair collapsed under me at work. We were so worried that we lost the baby, but then he’d resume his rolling and kicking. Yay!!! We dedicated this song to our child!
…. I love this song!!!
I m very happy
I grew up in the 80's. I was a teenager. Give me a time machine,please!!!😊
I feel the same way my friend i grew up in the 80s in sept 1989 i entered 11th grd i miss them days soooo much

This and “Sanctify yourself” are two of my favorites. “War Babies” off Neopolis is great too. I think I like em more than U2

Close my eyes and float back to the 80's. Right there with OMD, Simple Minds, Duran Duran and all that great music.
NXS
and Depeche ;)
Close your eyes and keep floating back to the 70s.
Simply Red too
Grew up in isolated farm in Africa. listened to all their songs and albums in surround sound top volume. We'd stand under clear African sky and let the rhythm cover us. Great memories.
I'd be honored if some fans of classic 80s rock anthems would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of EYE OF THE TIGER by Survivor, WHO'S CRYING NOW by Journey, and AGAINST ALL ODDS by Phil Collins on my YT channel in tribute to the era of legendary power ballads. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and keep on rocking.
sounds so nice

All Time....
80s music is so beautiful, I was only born in 88 but I appreciate the 1980s more than any other decade of music, it truly is amazing ❤
I was there, and so thankful for that
Born in 87 with much older Gen X sisters so I appreciated 80s music much more than music that released during my prime. At times, I wish I was born in the early 70s so I could've seen this stuff as it released. Would make seeing today's pop culture that much more painful though.
La mejor,había cantidad de música buena
Great Music started in the 60’s, then 🚀!!! Into the stratosphere!!! 🎶♥️ 💃
The piano break at 3:20 always hits me in the feels. I think I had an alarm clock that would play something that sounded similar to it so it always makes me feel nostalgic. I wasn’t alive in the 80s, but boy do I love what came out of it.
The sound of that era. Love that Yamaha grand piano.
Same
Came here to say this and also the squealing guitar sound.
You have great taste! Thanks for adding the bookmark to the piano solo. I so loved the 80's
It's the sound of Super Tramp!! 🙂🙂❤️❤️
the bassline is epic
This was John Giblin's first album with them. He's a pro and synced with the band right away.
The background vocals are spot on and the drums are great. What an awesome song from the 80’s
Pretty much all 80's tunes are great!! 😁 for me 80's will ALWAYS be my favorite decade for music 🥰🥰
The background is my hometown :)
I agreed!
Agree! Both singers have KILLER good ad strong voices!
Robin Clark is awesome. Find a live version of this where he puts her in the foreground to belt out her vocals. Great stuff.
I cry when I hear this song because I think of my dad. I drew him a picture years ago that said, "Alive and Kicking". He passed away a couple months later.
I miss you Pop. 💖
Sorry for your loss.
I remember My Mom with this song
I feel ur pain..I lost mines 9 months ago due to Demintra & menastatic prostate after minding him for 18 months was a tough battle..U stay strong..God knows best & may their souls fly in Zion 🕊🕊🕊🙏🏾😇
A star is shining brightly your way.
Everytime
God bless you, may he RIP
As i set here in the uncertainty of this Corona Virus pandemic this song instantly transforms me back to the fall of 1985 to my 20 year old self with the whole future at my feet and not a worry in the world. I don't know what the future brings but enjoy your youth as it will fly by faster than you know and never take a minute of it for granted!
Try 'the sign' human league and up
👍

Я не понимаю твой вопрос.
