One of the best songs ever written! Take me back to 1995!!!

[@Redundant_underscore]

The best U2 album that U2 never made. I mean that in the best way.

[@use-oc4mj6n]

U2 best albums were with Brian Eno. Since the split, U2 have been on a downward spiral. It says a lot that U2 have to keep on recycling Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby, both Eno's albums

[@mariusmigdal]

the best is joshua tree of course,and unforgettable fire also with eno- not achtung baby..this band is call simple minds-don`t you forget about it..! 😜

[@SvetlyootSofia]

To me It's sound like U2. Why It's labeled: Simple minded?

[@claudecassagne1646]

Totally agree!

[@stephenhannell1370]

I was brought up on u2 and simple minds along with human league omd tears for fears in the 80,s

[@pst3615]

The wall of sound, I'm loving every bit of it.

[@dannycostello1978]

One of my absolute favourites from Charlie and Jim

[@daviddubuisson3327]

This group is a legeng. Belfast child, dolphins, alive ans kicking, sanctify yourself, she's the river.... So much masterpiece...

[@panoskarliotis382]

best Simple Minds song ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Arieeeee]

This song deserves more love than it's gotten. I think the timing is unfortunate because it was released right in the middle of the 90's when everybody else was riding the tailcoats of the grunge movement and this was an original sounding song.

[@evieraotacon]

You and me both

[@SpaceCattttt]

I thought it was a lot better in '95 than I do now. But it's certainly better than anything they've released since then...

[@zoso9243]

This song was on MTV all the time when it came out.

[@patrickcostello4146]

This band deserves more love than it's gotten.

[@davidoconnor6602]

It does ynwa

Anyone else in 2020 rocking to the core with this masterpiece?

[@asanmartinjr07]

I remember when this song was released in 1995. I was in college back then. I used to crank up this song & cruise when I heard it on the radio!

[@marymuller4245]

This album was absolutely amazing!!!!

[@evelynbelmar]

Me encanta simple mind!

[@susanam.c.3207]

Can someone appreciate Charlie’s guitar mastery. That and Jim’s AMAZING voice... too much to handle

[@kimdawcatgirl]

I just can't get enough of his guitarwork! The melody and tone he produces carries each song to a higher level!

[@claudecassagne1646]

I don't know how this didn't get to Number One. Stunning.

[@hoochbehave]

One of their most under-rated songs

[@PELOTON3090]

i think the same but is great song like if you are listening in 2017

[@banditazx11]

not everyone can appreciate the diamonds! and...in this case we are lucky i guess! ;-) ps. Thanks the SM! ...this song fulfill your whole hungry for quality music soul...up to the top... ...-every time!

[@Pulsed101]

100%

[@traskabraska]

you are perfectly right.

[@DLR-gz6tv]

Indeed

[@99solutionsit10]

Layering of sounds in this song is mesmerizing.

[@tinasuarez117]

Its 2024 & its still Fresh 💃🕺

[@jasonduncan545]

This is a badass song

[@invernessfan3017]

This is a great song. I am a fan of Simple Minds.

[@Undercoverbrotherfromanother]

ENERGETIC VOCALS AND GUITARS They are still making killer music 40 years later. ❤

[@adrianstanciu8876]

2021 - Still sounds great music!

[@Voicecolors]

Fantastic song ! Simple Minds rocks !

It’s 2024 I’m hearing this for the first time

[@corinalupu3503]

Really? Omg❤😂❤🎉😅😊

[@xluxtbm]

[@gabrielricchini6260]

Buenos Aires, 1995. Con este tema abrieron en el estadio Obras aquella noche magica. Dos noches seguidas de esta mitica banda. Larga vida a los Simple Minds.

[@juancarlosperatta1860]

nunca los vi en vivo

[@sararichmond8476]

I worked on a local radio show and we played the fuck out of this song. Always got the show kickin!

[@keithewright]

U2 wish they sounded half as good

[@peterryan6497]

What a collective group of artists, and Charlie Burchill on guitar, you guys are an inspiration in the souless world we live in

[@DanieleElaborati]

After 20 years, this song still sounds fresh and powerfull as the first time i've heard it...this is music with a capital M!!

[@Pulsed101]

Amen to that.

[@patty109109]

It seriously does. This is one of my all time fave songs. It's spectacularly composed, fast and fresh. Amazing track the best by Simple Minds, in my opinion. The full version non radio edit is, of course, better.

[@isylium1110]

clearly the best :)

[@orlandoaranda7985]

Tu mundo recién llego

[@marianonocetti377]

Una grandissima canzone cantata e interpretata da uno dei migliori cantanti del panorama mondiale : Jim Kerr !!!! I Simple Minds sono stati grandissimi. E Charlie Burchill come chitarrista è un top !!!

[@medicaldoctor358]

My favourite ❤️ song , just love it .

[@pauld2440]

My favourite band, what a song. Cant wait for Glasgow and Verona next year.

[@JS-sy8do]

This just sounds like U2

[@johnbrooke9948]

Which U2 song?

[@m4d.d4x]

Oh ! You're right i didn't notice. But Tears For Fears is not that far...

[@Svgl95hi]

[@SB_7788]

Take me back to the 90s, and where that God's impulse of creation got lost after those years !!! Where ?

Rock album 95 stunning comeback

[@rossellanegro7279]

i love this song...is a River of positive energy❤

[@asanmartinjr07]

It was inspired by the Herman Hesse novel, "Siddartha." It's all about self-discovery.

[@lorddavidprosser]

Awesome song. This was the real adult Jim Kerr in action and what music ! My travelling song in the car now.

[@user-fp4dr6kv4p]

Jim kerr you are a king simple minds are kings

[@MARIO.GUITAR]

That drum sound ... One monster record for sure.

[@asanmartinjr07]

The guitar riff was great, too!!!!

[@damianomen6077]

such an underated song!

[@elsarendsen105]

thats true.

[@matchingmemory1774]

+damian whittington I had just come here to post this exact same thing, only to find that the job had been done.

[@elsarendsen105]

Haha. You've got taste!!

[@raysummers4137]

I totally agree

Sadly not only the song, the Simple Minds is underrated.

[@nunovski2002]

Make this the Scottish anthem!

[@orlinstoyanov9375]

Masterpiece !!!

[@LunaticLynx]

The most euphoric song ever!

[@Gohot229]

Shadow let go There's something you should know I just found my new direction And I hope you like the key Like the air that led me to it She's like the wind that sucked me through it She's a river, and she's turning There in front of me Stand back, get back She'll paint your blue skies black She gives bullet proof protection She got a resurrection feel When I'm scared, and 'bout to lose She gives me travelling shoes She's a river and she's turning There in front of me And I go blind Wasting my time While the rivers in front of me That's where I'm going to be Shine on, get on Twilight from dusk to dawn She's the spirit of creation She's the last chance guarantee Got a myriad of poses Sweet miracles and roses She's a river and she's turning There in front of me And I go blind Wasting my time The river's in front of me That's where I'm going to be Shadow Oh 'Cause when I find My state of mind The river's in front of me They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms So take me on a freedom ride My heart is like a hunter's in the silent moon My nerves just feel electrified Meet me on the staircase Outside a darkened room Light me like a naked flame The voice of Mother Nature states All things must pass And nothing can remain They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms Take me on that freedom ride You raise me like a building to the very top Rush me to the end of time You fill me full of danger, give me future shock Then you leave me wasted dying (Stand back, get back) Stand back, get back Move on (she's a river) she's a river She's a river And I go blind Wasting my time The river's in front of me Stand back (stand back) Get back (get back) She's a river, she's a river (she's a river) She's a river (she's a river) Shine on, get on Twilight from dusk to dawn She's the spirit of creation She's the last chance guarantee Stand back, get back She's a river (she's a river, she's a river) The river's in front of me (Stand back) (The river in front of me) get back That's where I'm going to be (The river in front of me) The river in front of me

Excellent song. One of its own. Lyrics, rythm, melody, it's got it all!

[@bjrntorearstein6347]

Properly cool! Small country, BIG sounds! That is Scotland in a musical nutshell!

[@jeanaustin8849]

Love simple minds.

[@maximillianford9301]

You can really hear the U2 influence in this, especially the guitar. I think it's amazing that two such great bands influenced each other so much

[@JoeyLevenson]

Yes, I always felt this was a child of something from Achtung, Baby.

[@srdjangojkovic2030]

Completely agree.Mysterious Ways immediately comes to mind.

[@stephenmccarthy102]

Not in the same class as Simple Minds

[@windyhillbomber]

Hate to break the news but The Edge’s whole guitar sound was very much influenced by Charlie Burchill’s reverb and echo drenched licks from around 81/82 that would become standard on U2 albums from Unforgettable Fire onwards. U2 went on t,be a bigger band but there is no doubt they owe a debt of gratitude to Simple minds.

[@Undercoverbrotherfromanother]

You are WRONG!!!!SIMPLE MINDS are the group that U2 always strived to be. SM has 40 years of hits. U2 was only relevant from 79 to 87. End of discussion. Thx.

[@davidoconnor6602]

Hidden gem, always loved simple minds , very u2 sounding, but top tune

[@gatitanz]

Absoluty amazing!!!!

Tapped on this by accident... Intro hooked me, stayed cos this fuckin rocks 🤘🏻

[@commenter6763]

I remember recording this off the radio on my cassette player. It's been one of those songs I remember, forget about, remember again, then forget about again...always have a hard time remembering the name and artist, then out of nowhere it comes to me. This is one of those times. Chooooon.

[@17silius]

It seems incredible to me that this group or band has not been recognized for what they are, ONE OF THE BEST OF THEIR TIME. I love this song and In The City of Light seems MAJESTIC UNSURPASSED MAGICAL

[@rodrigocampos4948]

Best song ever!!!

[@user-my1nd1rn8b]

When i was at 10th' grade this was a hit on MTV

[@andrewduncan66]

Timeless, has the same energy and power as Waterfront, in my opinion, so underrated, still sounds amazing,

I'll be listening to this into my eighties..

[@miroslavadjuricin7320]

[@ralphkjb]

I bought this cassette single for $1.66 at the Walmart in Houma around this time 20 years ago. It was a sunny afternoon.

[@AlexandraCiobotaru]

ralphkjb love your comment ❤️

[@torpmorp1324]

ralphkjb they selled cassette singles somewhere then? I very much doubt it.

[@jorgelbarral]

So much nostalgia in your comment. Liked it

[@jamiemartinez8674]

nice...."She's the last chance guarantee...."

[@edwardmorris3453]

If you "very much doubt it" then you must either not have been around then or were but didn't notice one way or another. In either case, what evidence do you have to suspect the verity of ralphkjb's statement (which is rude of you, by the way)? Having been in record stores in the mid-nineties, i can tell you as FACT that there'd be a WALL of cassette singles. They typically cost $3.49 which was too much so I rarely ever bought them. (I bought the cassette single for Tonight, Tonight in 1996 at a Wal Mart for I think a buck 99. It might actually have been $1.66. I very much doubt your in a position to doubt the existence of cassette singles in stores in the mid-nineties.
