A special Valentine’s MMM this week with a very special recording of Someone Somewhere In Summertime by Empires That Dance, dedicated to Gordon and Angelique Machray.
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.
It can be a bit of an isolating day for the lonely. Even if we all think this day is corporate, capitalist claptrap, when you’re on your own, it can still bring home that loneliness. So to those who are alone today, do something special for yourself. Allow yourself a treat, whatever that will be. And be kind to yourself.
Nice version that ? Pardon my ignorance but what is the significance of the people the song is dedicated to?
Gordon is a big fan of the band. For a number of years now he has been running a FB fan page called Simple Minds International. He also is an admin for the official fan group page. He met Angelique at a SM gig (Barras, 2012) and they have been pretty much inseparable ever since.
Gordon was diagnosed with cancer last summer and has been going through extensive treatment since then. He and George are best pals. It?s a very special dedication.
