[@kleo8577]

When I was a kid in the 80s, whenever Simple Minds came on, I was glued to the television. There was something incredibly magnetic about Jim Kerr. The way he looks into the camera with those eyes. Such a fantastic singer and band. I'll always love this band. 💕

[@shirleypena4133]

@kleo8577 I agree!

[@gerbear3227]

i always thought Jim Kerr beared a striking resemblance to a young Tim Robbins (or should that be the other way round) :) lol

[@antonpaco]

You are right mate. I saw three concert during 80s, and always a magnetic sensation was running in the air. The way they played, the way Jim moved and sang was magic.

[@valeriebell6930]

Jim Kerr is one of the most underrated front men all time. Now 50 years old, I adore music, I loved them in the 80's (when I was a teenager) but it is only now I am really appreciating their truly magnificent and really well produced music (New Gold Dream is just beautiful) but I now find it mind boggling how I never quite appreciated how captivating Jim Kerr is a a performer. That's something you are just born with, its not something you can teach and he just 'has it'. Their music is now ageing beautifully as good music does.

[@MissVfromCali]

Me too! I always loved Simple Minds since the 80's but only really knew the "best of". Just the last year or two have I truly grown to appreciate their full catalog and amazing musicality.

[@thefantasyreview8709]

This song has been used to close off the music program *Rage* in Australia for the last 34 years!!!!! Which may be a record for a pop song appearing as part of a program for so long! Great song!

[@lorenso1971]

😊

[@krazystu1]

Derrick Forbes and Mel... Amazing!!!!! not to forget Mick McNeil, the keyboard wizard. Timeless !

[@barkloud]

THIS is literally my favorite song ever! When they played in Rochester NY in '86, I got my way to the front of the stage. When this song started, I was so freaking excited. During the chorus, he came to our side of the stage, crouched down and held my hand. Not sure how I didn't pass right out. 33 years later, I can remember every moment...

[@juliehaley2765]

Yes I still like this. It feels like the weather, the climate, God, something powerful and mystical raining down! The Land The Land. Gold. Some ancient religion. Just the cover of the album. That’s IT. I still love this, 35!years later. It’s elevating and breathtaking and majestic. ECSTATIC majesty! It’s like British Isles Kings and Queens (no blondes!!!!) and the crystal lakes and droplets of rain being prizmed by the sun. No rainbows. Just the sun and the rain turning to crystal beading (Excalibur!) and the green of the land and dark sky.

If perfection exists, this song is as close to it as it gets....I loved this band when I was in school....and I still love them at 50...my favorite from SM

[@kendollgt]

I traveled to England as a teenager in 1987. I took my Sanyo portable radio and cassette player to record music from the radio there. It was 3 am and I found this alternative radio station, there I learned about the Ramones, The Cure and Simple Minds! They played Speed your love and I thought it was the best thing ever! I wanted to jump and dance! But i couldn’t it was too late. Back in America I showed all my recordings to my friends.

Most of my life, all I knew about Simple Minds was "Don't you forget about me", and I'm pretty sure that's the case with most people on the planet. But as I listen to more of them, I realize just how incredible some of their songs are. It's not that "Don't you forget about me" is a bad song, It's good. It's just that it's all anybody plays by Simple Minds, and they have so many songs that are so much better. I absolutely fell in love with this song in particular.

[@stephennell5385]

Saw Simple Minds on Sons and Fascination, New Gold Dream, and finally this tour. Blown away each time. I spent my university years wanting to be as cool and alien as Jim Kerr. I still go through S&F kicks in particular - the ethereal surreality of that output still can knock me clean out of this world.

Blew me away when I first heard this - 1984 was a year that a few albums hit me really hard - Sparkle & The Rain, Ride The Lightning, & Steeltown - and to a lesser extent Unforgettable Fire. What a year for guitar rock - you wouldn't think it but 1984 was a fantastic year

[@thomassharoniard4629]

I've got the feeling that Simple Minds were really connected with something unreachable and undefinable through combative and poetic creations. They had a cast iron belief in the power of love crossing great distances of this world to reach a mysterious aim. Markedly, the dynamic of their songs could evoke a titanic feeling which always helps the character to overcome impassable places in his head to open the fabulous visions of a world full of promises and discoveries. And yes run until we come, until we be my love... When the time comes, I hope your flame will travel to me !

Very well said, Thomas. That's the same thing I feel when I listen to their music, especially the older stuff, Sister Feelings Call, Empires and Dance, New Gold Dream, and Sparkle In The Rain. Musically, I think they were a bit ahead of their time, like Kate Bush, in my opinion.
