    Hi everybody. I'm nearly 49. What is so great is that My Mum who is 77 tells me " Stop with your Simple Minds". I answer " Mummy I've been listening to The Minds since 1980, you think I'm gonna stop ?". My 3 children Olivia who 14 soon, Clémence and Thomas who are 10 don't call me papa, they don't call me pap's, they call me Simple Pap's since they were babies. That is just so beautiful. Vive The Minds ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎸🎤🤸👍👃

    Friends and fans alike I agree that real life is a fine record a mighty song and see the light is without doubt a sublime mini masterpiece. I want you all to know that simple minds toured Australia in 1983 myself and around a dozen pals caught them at our home town Newcastle Australia. People I want to declare that that performance
    By Jim Charlie and the team was blessed with that rare magical link between band and audience . They were beautiful sweet guys who played their creations with clarity honesty and passion raw classy and stunning . My crew and thd entire audience danced like never before . Friends these wonderful young travelling musicians gave us everything they had . We shared it back to them . Hey Friends we all shared that euphoria as did they . A night of great magic . Please come back soon . That night created by the simple minds crew was rare dignified honourable. A beautiful communion shared between them and us . Deep soulful and wondrous.

    Summer's gone winter's in your eyes
    I can feel the thunder storms inside
    I wake every morning and the cold winds cover me
    All I've got's a ghost of what could be
    If you can see the lights shine in front of me
    If you can see the lights shout out where you'll be
    I'm in a broken dream I stare out into space
    You know I called you up cos nothing takes your place
    I've got a heart of stone and it's sinking deep inside
    I want to tell you love I'm too proud to cry
    If you can see the lights shine in front of me
    If you can see the lights shout out where you'll be
    Summer's gone and I can't tell you lies
    Oh forgive me love I'm too proud to cry
    If you can see the lights shine in front of me
    If you can see the lights shout out where you'll be
    Summer's gone and I can't tell you lies
    Forgive me love I'm too proud to cry
    Too proud to cry
    Too proud to cry

    Saw them in Leeds last year.. Still as awesome as first time I saw them in '85....
