I see the backdrop of the video shot Glasgow M8 , Kingston & Erskine bridges , Clyde tunnel , had never seen the video before , great album ‘ Sparkle in the rain ‘ .
This song has been used to close off the music program *Rage* in Australia for the last 34 years!!!!! Which may be a record for a pop song appearing as part of a program for so long! Great song!
Jim Kerr is one of the most underrated front men all time. Now 50 years old, I adore music, I loved them in the 80's (when I was a teenager) but it is only now I am really appreciating their truly magnificent and really well produced music (New Gold Dream is just beautiful) but I now find it mind boggling how I never quite appreciated how captivating Jim Kerr is a a performer. That's something you are just born with, its not something you can teach and he just 'has it'. Their music is now ageing beautifully as good music does.
Me too! I always loved Simple Minds since the 80's but only really knew the "best of". Just the last year or two have I truly grown to appreciate their full catalog and amazing musicality.
When I was a kid in the 80s, whenever Simple Minds came on, I was glued to the television. There was something incredibly magnetic about Jim Kerr. The way he looks into the camera with those eyes. Such a fantastic singer and band. I'll always love this band. 💕
You are right mate. I saw three concert during 80s, and always a magnetic sensation was running in the air. The way they played, the way Jim moved and sang was magic.
THIS is literally my favorite song ever! When they played in Rochester NY in '86, I got my way to the front of the stage. When this song started, I was so freaking excited. During the chorus, he came to our side of the stage, crouched down and held my hand. Not sure how I didn't pass right out. 33 years later, I can remember every moment...
Yes I still like this. It feels like the weather, the climate, God, something powerful and mystical raining down! The Land The Land. Gold. Some ancient religion. Just the cover of the album. That’s IT. I still love this, 35!years later. It’s elevating and breathtaking and majestic. ECSTATIC majesty! It’s like British Isles Kings and Queens (no blondes!!!!) and the crystal lakes and droplets of rain being prizmed by the sun. No rainbows. Just the sun and the rain turning to crystal beading (Excalibur!) and the green of the land and dark sky.
If perfection exists, this song is as close to it as it gets....I loved this band when I was in school....and I still love them at 50...my favorite from SM
Mein erstes Erlebnis war "Premonition". Seit dem bin ich Fan, habe einige Platten auf Vinyl, ich werde diese niemals weggeben, die gehen mit mir. Gehabt Euch alle wohl. Genießt, was euch gegeben wird.
I traveled to England as a teenager in 1987. I took my Sanyo portable radio and cassette player to record music from the radio there. It was 3 am and I found this alternative radio station, there I learned about the Ramones, The Cure and Simple Minds! They played Speed your love and I thought it was the best thing ever! I wanted to jump and dance! But i couldn’t it was too late. Back in America I showed all my recordings to my friends.
It's positively criminal that Simple Minds have not yet been inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! Ditto for Echo & the Bunnymen and The Psychedelic Furs.

Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as the Simple Minds and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily.
I've got the feeling that Simple Minds were really connected with something unreachable and undefinable through combative and poetic creations. They had a cast iron belief in the power of love crossing great distances of this world to reach a mysterious aim. Markedly, the dynamic of their songs could evoke a titanic feeling which always helps the character to overcome impassable places in his head to open the fabulous visions of a world full of promises and discoveries. And yes run until we come, until we be my love... When the time comes, I hope your flame will travel to me !
Very well said, Thomas. That's the same thing I feel when I listen to their music, especially the older stuff, Sister Feelings Call, Empires and Dance, New Gold Dream, and Sparkle In The Rain. Musically, I think they were a bit ahead of their time, like Kate Bush, in my opinion.
Thomas Edouard First of all i apologize for my English. Being a Simple minds fan since 1982...this is the best "thought" about Simple minds i've ever read. Greetings from Italy.Ciao
Always loved this song, but can't help thinking that this video does not do the songs pace trajectory justice. Still loved watching it and the music is first class. Memories
Blew me away when I first heard this - 1984 was a year that a few albums hit me really hard - Sparkle & The Rain, Ride The Lightning, & Steeltown - and to a lesser extent Unforgettable Fire. What a year for guitar rock - you wouldn't think it but 1984 was a fantastic year

È stata la colonna sonora portante degli anni più belli e spensierati della mia vita... Quando, essendo un marinaio viaggiavo a tutto gas con la mia auto e il volume a palla ascoltando in musicassetta proprio questo vostro idilio musicale (percorrevo 600 km in meno di 4 ore con la carica che mi dava questa canzone, ma anche tutta la musica del vostro inimitabile repertorio dei fatidici anni 80) mentre mi recavo in licenza per raggiungere la mia fidanzata... Speed your love to me... Stimolante... Grazie Simple Minds, la vostra musica rievoca i miei migliori anni... 80 forever
Most of my life, all I knew about Simple Minds was "Don't you forget about me", and I'm pretty sure that's the case with most people on the planet. But as I listen to more of them, I realize just how incredible some of their songs are. It's not that "Don't you forget about me" is a bad song, It's good. It's just that it's all anybody plays by Simple Minds, and they have so many songs that are so much better. I absolutely fell in love with this song in particular.
Had the privilege to see Scotland's best simple minds at the Barrowlands and the secc Glasgow and ibrox park back in the 80s and loved every one of their concerts thanks for the memories 👍😎
Wow... Adoro questa canzone e seguo da sempre i Simple Mind che mi hanno accompagnato nelle mie esperienze in giro per il mondo per un quarto di secolo sin dagli anni 80... Fantastici e intramomtabili... Questa è Musica... Forever S. M. Con voi si viaggiava e si viaggia alla grande... Top... PS : video fenomenale che simboleggia la velocità (come da titolo), straordinari paesaggi naturalistici e non ultima la mirabolante nostra giovinezza vissuta nei migliori anni e cioè gli 80, quando tutto era fantastico con la vostra musica... Nostalgia...
Saw Simple Minds on Sons and Fascination, New Gold Dream, and finally this tour. Blown away each time. I spent my university years wanting to be as cool and alien as Jim Kerr. I still go through S&F kicks in particular - the ethereal surreality of that output still can knock me clean out of this world.
BOYS AND GIRLS ..LOOK THE WAY HE MOVES AND DANCES ON STAGE IN THIS VIDEO ...JIM IS ALWAYS CLASSY ..... ELEGANT , SOFISTICATED DELICATE AND SENSUAL ...YESTERDAY AS WELL AS TODAY !!!!!!!!!! A PERFORMER !!!!!
I was 16 when this came out. Saw the tour at Red Rocks in Colorado, with Pretenders. The older I get, the more lucky I feel to have been a teenager at this time. Such beautiful, complex, epic, hopeful music we had. A ton of it from Scotland, oddly...

How the hell did they do so many great albums in their first six years.❤
One of the finest pop songs ever written, so addictive and so greatly executed.
Agreed...when Jim sings "you go to my head" the song just goes through the roof 🙌
Was a kid of the 80's me and my friends many who arn't here now loved this band and many a kiss was stolen listening to Simple minds
The only thing better is the Steve Lillywhite 12" remix!

Jim Kerr Dave Gahan ( DM ) B . Summer (New Order ) and Robert Smith ( The Cure ) best 80s bands !!!
1982-1984 Simple Minds with Kerr, Forbes, Burchill, McNeill and Gaynor were the best band in the world. Im my mind of course!
Yes they were. x
They were. Peerless.

I guess that's why we're all here. We're biased. But we're sooo right!

@kleo8577 I agree!
i always thought Jim Kerr beared a striking resemblance to a young Tim Robbins (or should that be the other way round) :) lol
You are right mate. I saw three concert during 80s, and always a magnetic sensation was running in the air. The way they played, the way Jim moved and sang was magic.
Love this..
I always loved the way he moved his arms and hands
Phenomenal Simple Minds forever... Remember
Eu tinha 15 anos quando ouvi essa banda e hoje tenho 54 e continuo ouvindo. Música boa é eterna!
"Just my imagination..." - this part always slaps me in the face. Work of art.

My favorite song ever. Beautiful ❣️
Paris to Nice train on a Walkman in 1987. 18 years old.. beautiful memory . Priceless.
My thoughts too. I always thought Burchill's guitar effect is just breathtaking on this. He had some beautiful tones on songs.
Best band ever
De acuerdo 100%.
Gaynor is a superb drummer. Minds fans will know how much he brought to the band. They went clear after he joined.
This song is a masterpiece, at the same level as for example " Help" by the Beatles. A classic.
1984 what a fucking “Simple Minds” year. …….Please take me back 🙏🏻

Beautiful song. Thank you for all the magic Simple Minds!
I was 16 when this came out. Saw the tour at Red Rocks in Colorado, with Pretenders. The older I get, the more lucky I feel to have been a teenager at this time. Such beautiful, complex, epic, hopeful music we had. A ton of it from Scotland, oddly...
It always seems to be my imagination, strange how it sometimes seems to pull the cosmos in from every corner 😮
such song compositions are not made anymore, so smooth, rich, balanced, fascinating - amazing
Glad to have lived during the 80s and witness the greatness of these geniuses of music industry.
Any Australians here would recognise this song as the background song for late night music show "Rage"
This should have been a hit in the US. There was so much good stuff then you'd have to pick which song to release as a single.
this formation simply couldn't be beaten or replicated
