Simple Minds - New Gold Dream (Maxi) 12"

Simple Minds - New Gold Dream (Maxi) 1982
Producer: Pete Walsh
New gold dream,
She is the one in front of me, the siren and the ecstasy.
New gold dream,
Crashing beats and fantasy, setting sun in front of me.
New gold dream,
And the world goes hot,
And the cities take,
And the beat goes crashing,
All along the way.
She is your friend until the ocean breaks.
And when you dream, dream in the dream with me,
And when you dream, dream in the dream with me.
81 - 82 - 83 - 84.
81 - 82 - 83 - 84.
New gold dream,
Sun is set in front of me, worldwide on the widest screen.
New gold dream,
Burning bridge and ecstasy, crashing beats and fantasy.
Dream in the dream with me.
And the world goes hot,
And the cities take,
And the beat goes crashing,
All along the way.
She is your only friend until the ocean breaks.
And when you dream, dream in the dream with me,
And when we dream, dream in the dream with me,
81 - 82 - 83 - 84.
81 - 82 - 83 - 84.
New gold dream,
The siren and the ecstasy, she's the one in front of me.
New gold dream...

💜Just reading your sentiments that echo my own.. this came onto an iTunes mix that played in a beautifully unexpectedly way, whilst I was city walking in my lunch hour today and I was transported back in time and forward too .. yes sounds like the future, even now.. Think it’s the the constancy of Jim Kerr’s deep resonating vocals.. and the soaring moments of guitar and electronic sounds .. gives a feeling of hope. Certainly uplifted me in the winter sunshine today 😀

It's unbelievable. I have had my own recording studio for over 20 years and make a lot of music. I was very interested in music. So I know a lot of songs, at least from hearing them. Even if I don't know their names. But I've always loved a synth zither melody. Usura Open your Mind. But I just had to learn that it is much older and from Simple Minds. Simple Minds are one of my favorite bands from the 80's. That earned her even more thumbs up. As I said incredible...👍👍👍

This is indeed a beautiful song, and one of my favorites since it was released. I'm a bit older than many of the people who commented here, and I've been listening to rock music since 1963. Simple Minds are up there with the best. Don't feel bad if you didn't get to hear the music when it was new - you're helping to keep it alive now! And you'll hear wonderful new music long after I'm gone.

Funny you say that. It was remixed by usura which was also an amazing hit.

[@MrTwister242]

Utah Saints also released an excellent stadium house cover before that, in 1992. No guitars but still quite epic and the vocals are in that similar style which reminds me of A. Eldritch of Sisters of Mercy. Simple Minds musically still sound amazing live, but Jim's vocals for this song no longer have that seductive dark gloom that to me is essential to the song.

Bobby Burnin Well said

@@massimo9113 now i'm 26 what happened hahaha. thanks

[@djouji7620]

55 years old, saw them live, have this on gold vinyl, and I still feel the passion in my blood; so rich and even a little painful.

[@bennyrobles9194]

Happy to hear that Bobby Burnin.! I Saw them in 1984 Rotterdam Holland. Great band.! I’m 59 now. Gosh….time flies. Enjoy Bobby.!!! Take care buddy.!

[@a.tanner8524]

They are incredible.

Toujours aussi sublime à 58 ans qu à 16 ans !!!!!

[@stephenblack9366]

Best Simple Minds track ever! 😎

[@modegirl4779]

OK, seriously. Simple Minds are one of the most underrated bands of the time period, at least in the U.S. They are SO much more than "Don't You Forget About Me." New Gold Dream is a stellar record - saw them in 2018, "New Gold Dream" was on the setlist, and it was AMAZE!

Think the action was more in the UK and Europe that time. Simple Minds were very popular.!!

One Direction will never even offer anything close to this absolutely perfect music.....getting old seems like yesterday!

[@jean-louispech4921]

+Richard Brooks well ... there are real musicains working together behind The singer. AFIK one direction are mostly singers with commercial team behind.

[@andreacasanova9091]

I grew up with this song, on Saturday nights in the bathtub with the cassette of 70s-80s-90s songs of my dad on the radio. What beautiful memories and I finally found this song again, I'm 17 now and I already listened to it when I was 8/9 without knowing the title.

[@stepan1968]

This song encapsulates all the spirit of musical innovations of the 80s, the golden age of music of all eras, simply masterful.

[@erosfrusca9652]

Mitico pezzo magicamente interpretato dai fantastici simple minds

[@Mr2stardiver]

remember buying this album on the strength of hearing love song on the radio. my mind was blown ,this was different on so many levels . its like living in a dream through sound..a life long fan since seen sm at least 20 times since

[@cristianalupoli1195]

Grandi Simple, immensi, meravigliosi. Mauro

[@clubsport9118]

I can feel the warmth of the sun and the shimmering on the hot pavements of 1984. When life was so muchg brighter. The Early 80's were indeed, "Gold" - there is no other song that captures that era better.

[@robertgosewinkel5661]

So liebreizendet und schön dieses Land ist, so durchtränkt Traurigkeit Elend. Wer Zeit hat neugierig und offen ist, der wird Irland nie mehr vergessen . Bewegend. Auf und unter Wasser.

[@roberts658]

Words cannot do justice to the brilliance of this song.. it is like the sixteenth chapel, Mona Lisa , Van Gogh…we really should put simple minds in the same category

[@yasminm7157]

Sistine? Only kidding, I agree 100%

[@gordocarbo]

Cant wrap my head around the ones coming up with this tune, writing it, the progressions etc. Over the top talent for sure

[@christopherdowney7018]

1987. My best friend Eric the Red's second story bedroom overlooking the Indian river, the constant southeast wind gusting through the room; the both of us mesmerized laying on his bed, turntable blasting the entire album-just enthralled at the modern celtic drug which is Simple Minds. If you are listening to this at any decible tolerable, you are missing everything.

[@mickeymouse1585]

I'm 55 too and it reminds me of those wonderful times, although I have to say I'm also coping well with the maturity of this age. I rediscovered this song after so many years. These days I noticed that in the early 80s I had a crush on a little girl. But even these days I have a crush on another girl.... 😄

[@billrowe1839]

One of my favorite albums of the 80’s!

[@stekfanful]

Great music reminds me my youth. Saw Simple Minds five times,always excellent concerts😊

[@superjody56]

I'm now 75 years old, and I can say that I was blessed to live in the '80s and enjoy this music as it was made. Long live the 1980s. JJG

[@richardpotter712]

I remember listening to John Peel late at night and he played "I travel". This alerted me to Simple Minds. Shame they went very commercial late in their career but a great band all the same. New Gold Dream album was way ahead of it`s time.

[@rentaghostokish5628]

I was a teenager in the 80s....best days of my fvcking life and I feel truly blessed to have lived then. New Gold Dream 4 Ever!!!

Thanks Rentaghost okish. You expressed exactly how I feel.

[@robertgosewinkel5661]

Wenn ich dieses Lied höre, dann ist ein Wetterumschwung und gelangweilte Hunde schneller als jeder Iren ! Und dennoch sind Land und Menschen ganz behutsam. Der eine oder andere mag sich noch an die nordischen , britischen Unruhen erinnern. Die sind älter als 300 Jahre ! Regen und Sonne lösen sich minütlich ab und schaden ein bezauberndes Spiel.

[@paulmck5128]

One of the best, if not the best, Simple Minds tracks of all time, my most listened to music track and no matter how many times I listen to it or hear different versions / mixes, it never loses it's appeal. Ever since 81, 82, 83, 84.......

[@User58747]

One the finest pop/rock tracks ever committed to vinyl. PERIOD.

[@mortisxx5712]

+User58747 You said it.

[@Retroscoop]

+User58747 rock ????? From which planet did you say you were ?

[@Retroscoop]

Bassmanfallon OK simple mind, keep on "rocking".

[@mortisxx5712]

+Benoit Vanhees Keep on trolling if you want to. Some of us still love this track.

[@Retroscoop]

Mortis xx So again, for all the simple minds here, my point was: this is everything but rock. This is pop, plain popmusic. If you want to see that as blasphemy, fine with me, who's trolling in that case, who's the prick con balls.... Never said I didn't like the track in itself, as long as I don't have to look at the singer playing Jezus Christ in front of dedicated followers. Fortunately, some wisdom and more acceptable stage presence came with the years. All hope is not idle.

[@77perki]

Best Scottish band ever!!!!

[@LaRusso]

Of all 80s songs, this is surely the best one.

[@lyrimetacurl0]

I think "Never Let Me Down Again" (Depeche Mode) and "Strange Little Girl" (The Stranglers) beat it just about.
