    A huge hit of theirs of course but they started off as a completely different sounding band with songs like Chelsea Girl. They had many albums prior to this one and they are worth checking out. The American, Lovesong, I Travel, Glittering Prize, Up On The Catwalk, Waterfront. A great band. This was the theme song from the 80s film The Breakfast Club. They actually performed in America for Live Aid rather than in England. They’re Scottish.

It became Our Song. After she died, I asked her time and time again, to hear Our Song and without fail, it played on the radio, played next on my spotify play list... I hear it when I miss her most, when I need to hear her voice; when i need to not feel as alone... Thanks for covering this song. You did so, just as I asked: Mom, please play our song....

    “The American” is a superb track. Simple Minds were one of my favourite bands of the 80s. Used to travel 60 miles from the Highlands of Scotland all the way to Glasgow, just to watch them perform in a pub. They really put the work in to perfect their sound before going all out on bigger tours and albums, then the stadium shows. First big gig and they were just perfect.

  • @laminage

    This wasn't their only Hit Record. They had others like "All The Things She Said" but it was best known from The Breakfast Club where Five Folks spend Saturday Detention together. There was The Punk, The Outcast, The Popular Girl, The Brain & The Athlete. They didn't know each other from Adam but at the end of the Day, they became Friends. They are from Scotland as is The Average White Band (Pick Up The Pieces) and The Eurythmics. This in my opinion one of the Best Songs from a Movie that never was nominated for an Oscar. It was one of many Movies that John Hughes (RIP) who helped shape and define life as a Teenager in the 1980's.
