May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
https://youtu.be/RIZu_gqFOgU First time I ever heard this was earlier in the year when Iggy Pop played it on his radio show. It was so beautiful, I cried. One of the most beautiful pieces of music I’d heard in a long time (minus some Simple Minds songs, obvs.). I really do need La Dusseldorf in my…
‘Shake Off The Ghosts (2002 Remastered)’ by Simple Minds This has been in my head for a few days now. Recently (when the “Sparkle” Box Set reissue came out), Jim Kerr dismissed this instrumental as being “lazy” and not something they should have released. I don’t get why he feels that way, because (IMHO!) it’s…

‘Wonderful in Young Life’ by Simple Minds“Memorise / A crowded swallow skies” – those lyrics conjure up cloudless, sunny days. Much like we’ve had the past couple of days 🙂 Nearly one year into my Simple Minds mega fandom, and I’ve NEVER chosen this as my jam?! What the hell?! This song means everything –…
‘New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84) German 12″ Remix’ by Simple Minds Now nearly one year into my Simple Minds fandom, I’ve harboured a new love for New Gold Dream, esp. this German 12″ Remix. I posted a comment (massive blurb) about it on the SM Facebook page about my favourite fragment of the song and I…
‘Full concert – Rockpalast, Cologne, 1982’ by Simple MindsI wanted to choose Sons And Fascination from this gig, but it isn’t available on its own (at around the 1hr 2min mark if you want to cut straight to it)…so I thought “Bugger it! I’ll put the whole thing up.” It’s a favourite early gig. I…
‘Let The Children Speak (2002 Digital Remaster)’ by Simple MindsI’m not the biggest fan of this album (prefer it to SFY though!)…but there are songs off it I def. like. This being one of them. It’s my earworm today :-)) #SimpleMinds
‘Criminal World (2002 Digital Remaster)’ by Simple MindsThis one’s been in my head for days! I do have a soft spot for the Good News From The Next World album 🙂 #SimpleMinds
‘Careful In Career (Demo)’ by Simple Minds Love this version as much as the Sons And Fascination album version #SimpleMinds
‘Kant Kino – (2002 Remaster)’ by Simple Minds My favourite #SimpleMinds instrumental. I find it very emotional. I know! I can’t explain why certain, unexpected things have this impact on me, but there you go.
Absolutely love this version. There have been some brilliant mixes of Simple Minds songs. This one is stonking!
