Lyrics:
And if the world stops spinning, there'd be no sign
No future love, only days behind
I'd call on you
No matter what you put me through
And if the skies above turn to crimson red
Hear the memories, all you said
I'd call on you
No matter what you put me through
First, you jump, then get wings
Escaping all that hurts you
The traumas that they put you through
First, you fall, then fly in
You're taking in the new view
Becoming all you're meant to
And if the world stops spinning, there'd be no end
Every twist, every turn, back again
I'd call on you
No matter what you put me through
At first, you jump into a world that's free
Where all that's heaven-sent is now reality
I'd call on you
The only one that pulls me through
First, you jump, then get wings
Forgetting all the voices
Silence deep in your head
You once gave up, now soaring
Heading for the clear view
No more worry haunts you
And if the world stops spinning (spinning)
And if the world stops spinning (spinning)
And if the world stops
First, you jump, then get wings
Escaping all that hurts you
The traumas that they put you through
First, you fall, then fly in
Taking in the new view
Becoming what you're meant to

Simple Minds have been musical pioneers for 40 glittering years. Catching the mood of the post-punk era, when the angry sounds of 1977 were splintering into a thousand different shapes, they emerged with a style rooted in the art-rock of David Bowie and the electronic dance of Donna Summer. They went on to become one of the great bands of their generation, deploying rousing choruses and booming atmospherics to provide a soundtrack that has endured. They topped the American chart with Don't You (Forget About Me) and followed suit in the UK with the Ballad Of The Streets EP (featuring Belfast Child). In selling over 60 million records, they have seen three of their 20 studio albums reach number one in the UK - Sparkle In The Rain, Once Upon A Time and Street Fighting Years - a chart-topping feat equalled by their live album Live In The City Of Light and the compilation Glittering Prize. A spellbinding touring band, they have graced the world's biggest stadiums. They starred at Live Aid and played three momentous London shows in honour of Nelson Mandela. The past decade has also seen a remarkable resurgence, their world-class credentials acknowledged by a Q magazine Inspiration award in 2014 and an Ivor Novello in 2016. They are now marking their 40th anniversary with a world tour, live album and career-spanning compilation.

Simple Minds perfection! Goosebumps at Charlies riff, hurrah!

[@rmzidann]

I listened to this song for the first time last night. I am a fan since 1981 from USA, SF Bay Area. We had a night club that was famous from about 1981-1986, called Stargaze in Fremont, California. Simple Minds were the only band that had their picture on wall as you entered Stargaze and the only band that had one special night dedicated to their music. I love this new song. It’s stuck in my head. Charlie’s guitar riffs are as infectious as ever and love the lyrics and the positive energy of the song and the band. Bravo! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@marcoantonioalbano3913]

Very interesting, I've also been a fan since 1985 when I heard Someone Somewhere In Summertime, I'm here in Brazil admiring this new work... Muito interessante, também sou fã desde 1985 quando escutei Someone Somewhre In Summertime, estou aqui no Brasil admirando esse novo trabalho...

A New Gold Dream...to awake our ears! Greatness as time passes by! A new anthem for all generations!

[@bencarter6702]

This hits harder than Vision Thing, although it's also a sort of rhythmic cousin. For some reason this is also the first time in years that the current Minds line-up has nailed an instant retro classic style. Cherisse has finally become the heir to Mel (and I love Mel). Berenice has mastered the art of Professor Gillespie. The only thing that still seems a question without answer is "so, what exactly is Gordy doing there?" He just honestly seems surplus to requirements sonically whenever Jim and Charlie strike up the big electro sound. Go Sarah.

What a song…. Really connected to this . The whole band look in a state of bliss. Very spiritual… absolutely love it.

[@philippetrape9295]

Good song. Good melody. Definitely, a new heroic anthem for live concerts. Jim Kerr's voice and Charlie Burchill's guitars to the top. Good heavy bass from Ged Grimes. Catching up with their roots for success based on the historical Kerr/Burchill nucleus. I cross my fingers for the album to contain more tracks like this one. This is what the sound of the Minds should be about. Apparently, Mel Gaynor left the band, sadly. But the girl behind the drums takes her mission seriously! No loss in frequency. I only hope one day to see the whole historical band line-up back on the blocks on CD and on stage with Mick Mac Neil, Derek Forbes, and Mel Gaynor. Just once.
