This is not a song. This is an anthem for a generation. It won't ever age, it won't ever lose its impact over time and will always be great.

I love Jim's singing style, great rock tone, so distinctive. He has the quintessential 80's style. Amazing band. This music will live on way past the vapid shite of today, the Ed Sheeran's and the like. Simple Minds are amazing.

How can I put into words? Born in Verona, fell in love with Simple Minds, decided I had to learn English to understand the lyrics. Moved to UK, got married there...now I'm back here with husband and kids and what do you know? I bump into these videos. Ah, life's twists and turns, marvellous! Big love, Simple Minds forever!

[@uktumbleweed]

One of the best bands ever! Even more amazing performing live. How refreshing to see the audience enjoying the artistry. This in contrast to concerts today when everyone is more concerned about filming a performance and bunging it on social media asap.

You turn me on, you lift me up And 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 until 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? Oh, Alive and Kicking Stay until your love is, love is, Alive and Kicking Oh, Alive and Kicking Stay until your love is, love is, Alive and Kickingicking
