Lyrics:
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
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

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.

After 41 years this song gives me goosebumps like the first time I listened to...

[@nmacog]

I guess I’m not the only one that thinks this is their best song. I always wished this song was like 9 minutes

I think they were always at their best producing this kind of atmosphere, with the keyboards and guitar interacting IMHO.

[@hans-henrikrasmussen53]

NO, your'e NOT alone in believing NGD to be their ulrimate best song - their Master Piece! And the whole entire record to be their very best ever - with not a single "weak" title. Love it to bits. Never ever tire of it, even having listened to it hundreds of times through the years. This IS what turned me into a life long devotee of SM. Finding this footage to be absolutely stunning; the singing, playing, lightning ans a wonderful enthusiastic crowd! 😘❤️❤️❤️👌

[@robbkinnin1988]

Love it too. Best? Maybe not but surely Top 3 in my book. Also in the Top 3 add Belfast Child and Mandela Days

I'm only 36, but this band, and many others not even from my time... have gotten me through the many sad times. Don't know where I'd be without it. It's the one constant, in a time of disposable everything.

Unbelievable & in my opinion the original trance track, ten years before that kind of dance music came along in the early 90's.

[@eslir1749]

If you don't get goose bumps with this one, you're officially death. Brilliant band and loved them performing live during the 80s in Deinze. Hope to see them back soon in Belgium to throw back the 80s

[@moleisrich1]

I can say it’s my fav song of theirs too.

[@technomad1770]

Saw them at the Assembly Rooms, Derby, UK on the 16th December 1982, excellent.

[@majudaem]

What an era...Big country simple minds, the alarm, the mission the icicle works, u2 depeche mode loved the alternative 80,s

[@amphetaminelogic7006]

So true. I added Kraftwerk, Art of Noise, the Cure, Propaganda, The The, Yazoo and some grittier stuff like Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, Sisters of Mercy, Cassandra Complex in for good measure, but those were good times!

Heard this tonight in the car for the first time in 30 years. Could be their best IMO. Forgot i even had the album in my stash. Just gave me retro whiplash from my youth. 56 now and it sounds just as great as it did when i was in my 20's. And moves me just the same as it did then. Brilliant.

[@industrialgypsy8297]

2023 - listening to this on headphones after a few Jack and cokes. Fuck me what a band. Mel Gaynor and the bass player drive this like a galloping thoroughbread. Charlie's guitar just adding to the perfection. Cheers to you all, you made my night

I don't know if I'll ever get to see this amazing band. I'm only 36, but I've loved them since I was 20. Obviously, they are before my time, but great music transcends generations. It's there for whoever looks for it. This particular song, just makes me think of turning 21, and the hope and wonder I had for the future. Listening to this on a sunny day, driving in the hilly roads where I live, made me feel invincible at the time. I miss that feeling.

[@gilopdopdop]

Well written. Simple Minds has an epic timeless aura over them. Im pushing 40 and have been listening to them since my teens and still find a gem or two that i didn't think much of then. Much love and respect from Sweden!

[@vegetariansuniteworldwide8091]

They were magnificent on the 80’s when I saw them live. The women went crazy for Jim and his band. I guess that dated me but that’s ok. I heard the best music as a 20 something in the 80’s.🎉😂❤

[@gordonleitchman9489]

There’s not many ‘stadium bands’ left and I’ve been following these guys since I was 17! I’m 57 now and these live gigs still bring a huge smile to my face, keep it up lads!! Great work.

I’ve seen SM on every tour to Aus in last 10 years apart from the last one. Too many line up changes and people in the band who haven’t really been a part of the music. I’ve got nothing against the new members but wish the line up of the past decade was still there.

How can I explain that... ? Simple Minds is clearly far ahead many other bands. They have proved through years their ability to create so many classic songs with such emotions. Even these old songs are fantastic and sounds like anthems : New Gold, Speed Your Love, Waterfront, Sanctify, Real Life, Home,Stars Will Lead. They remain incredible and so convincing, valuable, a real musical force. They can be hugely proud to their career.
