This is hands down my favorite Simple Minds song. Everything works, the lyrics and music just flow so well.
Simple Minds was an iconic New Wave/Alternative mid/late 80's band, an important part of the music of the time to be sure.
Simple Minds and Tears for Fears stand for the classic 80s sound that gives you positive vibes. Great song...
To be in your 20s, cruising down the highway, singing "Alive and Kicking" at the top of your lungs like an anthem. Man... I loved the 80s.

Best decade for pop/rock music ever! Level 42, Something about you! Has to be your next pop song, killer vibe, massive hit.
Jay & Amber you’ll love their "Sanctify Yourself"!!!
You should really love this one! One of my favorites! Robin Clark sings the backup vocals and I think she is absolutely phenominal. In my opinion she's the glue that ties this song together and really gives it that punch. Glad you liked it.
"Sanctify Yourself" and "All the Things She Said" are a couple more great songs of theirs.
Also, the lead singer, Jim Kerr was married to Chrissie Hynde from the Pretenders for a time. They're another great band you need to get back to! I don't think you've done "Middle Of the Road" or "Back on the Chain Gang" yet and you are missing OUT on those!
I’m 58 and this song was huge in the 80’s and brings back so many memories!! Still sounds amazing ❤️
There will never.....NEVER....Nevvvveeerrrr....ever be a Decade that brings us or brought us better music than the 80s
You have got to do "Tide and Time" by Basia🎵🎶
Love simple minds...cool band. You guys should react to a band called Level 42 "something about you" AMAZING SONG
Vocals without auto turn. Thats real talent.
Yall took me back to my high school days. Rocking out in the student's section of the school parking lot, doors open, radio station or cassette tapes blaring through the speakers and many of us dancing to it. This is gold! Thanks for reacting to this gem.
One of the highlights of the 80s. Jim Kerr has a wonderful voice.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this song!! So excited for this reaction!
I saw these guys live when they were the musical act on SNL. Madonna hosted. Quite the experience
A good tune never gets old. 80's gold.
My favorite song by them. The only song I’ve ever requested on the radio and the DJ said my name. Kind of a big deal in NYC. So many people here.❤
Big shout to Miss Robyn Clark on vocals..you’ll also find singing backing vocals with Luther Vandross on Bowie’s Young American’s 🎉
My favorite Simple Minds Song. Don't You Forget About Me is a favorite because The Breakfast Club is a classic teen movie when I was a teen so nostalgic but that song got PLAYED OUT as a result, lol.
Check out Sanctify Yourself, Someone Somewhere In Summertime, Promised You A Miracle, and All The Things She Said .
