I'm always playing it, gotta possibly be my most favourite album ever, theres an air of romance to it as well as something otherworldly, absolutely beautiful.
These days are very sadly missed...The song was definitely of its time... If you were around, you would/should know how fabulous this era of the 1980's were... Brilliant band ...
Yeah man! When Mp3 players did not exist I copied this song 3 times on a casette for my walkman and I played it when I was underway to the city to party. Those were some good times! Just riding my bike listening to this song while smoking a joint and then having fun with my friends and occasionally a one night stand.
Glittering Prize by Simple Minds is one of the most underestimated songs ever. This song is a timeless , stunning ,true classic. A song combining deep mystique spirituality with creative beauty. This song will stand the test of time.
Never ceases to amaze me. Over 500 people gave this the thumbs down. What planet are they from. They couldn’t have lived through the epic 80’s. This is wonderful music. New wave at its most glamorous. Period.
YES!! YES!! Vintage vinyl and Golden Disc in the village. Ahhhh the days of dirty hands and finding prizes in the bins!!! Never forget Glittering Prize remix in Tower Records played on ADS speakers!!!
I wonder if anyone had the same experience....when this came out in 1982 I spent so long trying to tape it off radio, but as the vocals came in some quickly I always missed it. So the version I've always listened to starts halfway through 'shine on...' ;-)
As an American teenager in the 80's I was flooded on US radio by Michael Jackson, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Duran, U2, Madonna, etc etc.. All fine music. I ended up buying "Once upon a Time" because it was on sale for 3$ and because of the Alive and Kicking video, Today Im 43, and Simple Minds are my favorite band, hands down....
This song never fails to captivate with its soaring vocals, catchy guitar riffs, and irresistible energy. It's like a burst of pure nostalgia every time I listen to it.
Historians are now saying that the 80s will probably go down in history as the most creative and free time in history. Mankind peaked and it gradually went downhill ever since.
I’m 38 and this is undoubtedly one of the best songs ever written! Takes me back to my childhood with my big brother. Some not so good memories but can still look back and smile ❤
Shine on, shine the light on me In all of my life so that much more I see In the light of his love In the light of reflection What a world this world Sometimes oh so it seems Eyes to the sky In the silver gift friendship Glittering prize Is the price of lost love They can remember quiet side of midnight They can remember attraction of fame Like a glittering prize I saw you up on a clear day First taking heart Then our last breath away Always came a time Time was by your side We were spending time We were staring out Catch me in a dream Captured all in heart We were spending time We were staring out Could there ever be Ever more than one Called an act of love Can you never stop? Shine on, shine the light on me In all of my life so that much more I see Like a glittering prize I saw you up on a clear day First taking hearts Then our last breath away Only on a clear day Coming in on our lives Only on a clear day Coming in on our life We can remember quiet side of midnight We can remember attraction of fame Like a glittering prize I saw you up on a clear day First taking heart Then our last breath away See it in the eyes Satellite sky We were spending time We were staring out Take in, take in more Endless breath away We were staring out Now we're staring in Could there ever be Ever more than one Called an act of love Can you never stop? Shine on, shine the lights on me In all of my life, so that much more I see Like a glittering prize I saw you up on a clear day First taking hearts Then our last breath away Only on a clear day Coming in on our life Always on a clear day This is the price of love Like a glittering prize Only on a clear day
Iconic SM .. brings back fantastic memories of leather trousers and watered down lager in the disco's. Still brilliant in 2024. If we could just be young again one more time. Love to all SM fan's ❤❤❤xx
If I could be young again, yes please. I would doing things differently, and telling my parents that I was not a boy, but a girl. (born in 64, so what did I knew?)
Christ im 63 years of age and the music from in 80's still makes my heart stir, full of expression and beauty. I too wish for that time, but alas time moves on and I for one will never see the like again.
Christ im now 66 and my wife has the same name as yourself and she is the same age this is uncanny she didn't like this kind of music but I did I too wish to go back to the 80s brilliant hope your still about love
Almost 51, and yes this was the golden age of music. Can´t get out of it, or won´t. There´s houndreds and houndreds of awesome songs from that time, and I keep on listen to them. No matter which type it is. Pop, rock, electronica or danish. It´s just impossible to decide what is best. Well some are better than other, but hey it ´s the 80s and you just have to respect how music was made back then. And I will forever remember it until I die. The only thing that scares me, is that the great artists from our youth now are disappering one by one. A little peace inside me break off, everytime one of them leaves us. Too bad but difficult to escape from. Hugs to all that might see things the same way.. -K from CPH/DK
I’ve got still a few years before the 6x arrives, but listening to these pearls just keeps me sharp. Still dancing on them New Wave tunes (at home ) like it was yesterday. We were blessed, teenagers of the 80’s 🙏🏻😌
💖 yeah they were great last night at king's park, one thing off my bucket list, Jim killed it , missed them in the eighties, dig the " ohstrain" tag😎☮️
Being Scottish and from the same era. I only appreciate now how good jim and simple minds are. I followed the northern soul world but proud of the minds Hail Hail Jim
I used to listen alternating between these albums along with Sparkle in the Rain over and over during HS in the early 80's constantly. These two albums Sparkle in the Rain and New Gold Dream. These are two of the best albums in the new wave genre of music. Simple Minds never ceases to impress me.
Absolute magic! This song is the 80s. I get teared up almost every time it's just so magical. It's like I'm reliving nostalgia I never had but always dream about
After so many years, more than 40 already, this still sounds as it was then, no trace of wear and tear. One of my favorite bands of all time and keep listening while I can!
Please don't think about yourself in that way. True and great music is completely timeless, the same like true and great artists. I also adore 80' music, for me this decade is extremely exceptional in every way. 💖
Semplicemente superbo!!!! A quasi 60 anni mi fanno ancora vibrare l'anima!!!! Orgogliosa di essere stata giovane negli anni '80, la migliore musica di sempre ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Si . . . altra generazione, ben altra musica. Simple Minds, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Talk Talk, Depeche Mode, Pink Floyd, Bob Marley e . . . Vasco. Un altro mondo . . . " forse " migliore e irripetibile. 🤗 😊🙂 😌😏
In 1982 I was a sophomore in high school and thought that glittering gold model was indeed a prize for any teenager. Now 53, she still is. Wow! This song gained greater significance to me as I went on the graduate from a midwestern school with an iconic gold lady atop a dome. Simple Minds is a musical treasure. Hail, Scotland and the City of Glasgow. Truly beautiful.
@@backslash68 derek forbes was probably on jim kerr's 'naughty list', by this time.. a real shame they clashed, as his bass was an essential element to the band's universal appeal
Grew up with their brilliant music. About 12 years or so ago, the organisers of the Chichester real ale and jazz festival in West Sussex, England, managed to get Jim and the band along. Playing to just a few hundred people they were utterly fantastic. Without doubt a real night to remember.
How great were the 80's... driving in the summer sun, while this amazing song was playing... no social networks shit around... just pure fun everywhere.... priceless decade !!!
Glittering Prize golden scenery, Gold by Spandau Ballet and Del Boy and Rodney painting the Chinese restaurant luminous gold. 1982 must’ve been a golden year!
What an under-rated band !! All you ever hear on Australian radio is don't you forget about me ! This is such a classic and what about Belfast child??? Simple minds.. Simply Awesome !!!
This song made me interested in music, I was only about 10 and Simple minds are my Dads favorite band, I owe a lot to this song. Brilliant music Brilliant band.
So glad that the 'big man in the sky' made me appreciate these guys around this time.Jim's 'New wave look' here made 'Boy George' look like 'Andy Pandy'.

Simple Minds are easily one of the best bands to come out of the 80s
if not the best...

Some incredible music from the 80’s.

Playing back to back, over and over again...
This song was so ahead of its time. This would hold up looking like it was released yesterday. Classic.

"Some people don't like the song I like, lemme cry about it"
I sure lived through it --- and clearly remember shocking rubbish like this scattered throughout the age
That bass line is just pure brilliance.
Carries the song wonderfully.
That sound is my teen years personified. Forever 16.
If memory serves .. and that’s a BIG if 😅.. it’s Derek Forbes and his very distinctive playing style
👍🏴
Great Fender Precision sound!
Derek used a chorus effect

Coming from another kid growing in the 80s, this band like the others will always remain timeless and unforgettable.
Poison and skid row was my favourite us 🇺🇸 band ,this is more a pop music
i still have that on cassette 🤣 brilliant album full of life 🥳
I had to wade through the American 80s radio too.. we were shorted
This song never fails to captivate with its soaring vocals, catchy guitar riffs, and irresistible energy. It's like a burst of pure nostalgia every time I listen to it.

New Gold Dream !!!
For me is one of the best from simple mind… the base line, the drum, and the voice are simply incredible ❤❤❤
So why is there no bad or drum in the video? Where's Derek and Mel?
beautiful song
The bass line is amazing!
One of the defining basslines of the 80's.
That baseline!
0:11 that Roland Jupiter 4 sound... omg. A classic.
Keeps popping into my mind at work! Love this song! UK 🇬🇧
proper rock stars this band 👌 period 😮❤
Artistic genius , like a great painting .
It doesnt fade

I’m 38 and this is undoubtedly one of the best songs ever written! Takes me back to my childhood with my big brother. Some not so good memories but can still look back and smile ❤

Shine on, shine the light on me
In all of my life so that much more I see
In the light of his love
In the light of reflection
What a world this world
Sometimes oh so it seems
Eyes to the sky
In the silver gift friendship
Glittering prize
Is the price of lost love
They can remember quiet side of midnight
They can remember attraction of fame
Like a glittering prize
I saw you up on a clear day
First taking heart
Then our last breath away
Always came a time
Time was by your side
We were spending time
We were staring out
Catch me in a dream
Captured all in heart
We were spending time
We were staring out
Could there ever be
Ever more than one
Called an act of love
Can you never stop?
Shine on, shine the light on me
In all of my life so that much more I see
Like a glittering prize
I saw you up on a clear day
First taking hearts
Then our last breath away
Only on a clear day
Coming in on our lives
Only on a clear day
Coming in on our life
We can remember quiet side of midnight
We can remember attraction of fame
Like a glittering prize
I saw you up on a clear day
First taking heart
Then our last breath away
See it in the eyes
Satellite sky
We were spending time
We were staring out
Take in, take in more
Endless breath away
We were staring out
Now we're staring in
Could there ever be
Ever more than one
Called an act of love
Can you never stop?
Shine on, shine the lights on me
In all of my life, so that much more I see
Like a glittering prize
I saw you up on a clear day
First taking hearts
Then our last breath away
Only on a clear day
Coming in on our life
Always on a clear day
This is the price of love
Like a glittering prize
Only on a clear day
An underrated song that is actually better than the big hit "Don't you forget about me"
definitely, one of my favourite songs
Way better!

I think alive and kicking is there best with Promised you a miracle.
Totally agree with you Frodo 👍
53 years old... this song will stay forever and ever related to my youth...🤟

One of the best 80s tunes out there. The opening lines are classic.

Derek Forbes bassline is absolute genius what a song I'm 54 and will never stop getting goosebumps to this!
The bass is awesome on this song - Derek Forbes was a brilliant bass player for Simple Minds, played on all their early songs from 1978-85.
I just love this tune - absolutely glorious - great piece of Scottish art.
@Andy Mann yes - correct comrade!
You have to mean Jimmy Kerr....he looks delicious 😋😍🥵🥰

At their finest for me...
54 in July , my life was just about to get going in 1982 , simple minds and the associates were at the forefront of a brilliant musical year
Grew up with their brilliant music. About 12 years or so ago, the organisers of the Chichester real ale and jazz festival in West Sussex, England, managed to get Jim and the band along. Playing to just a few hundred people they were utterly fantastic. Without doubt a real night to remember.

YET another MAGNUM OPUS from simple minds! But then, they themselves define the term Magnum Opus.......Pure Talent!!
Always reminds me of High School. Awesome 80`s. Never be another decade like it. That bass and synth.
Me too............. even here in Australia.
Amazing song from an amazing album. Music was incredible in those days.
