En la fría ciudad de Glasgow, Escocia, a finales de los años 70, nació una banda que resplandecería en la escena musical internacional: Simple Minds. Fundada en 1977 por Jim Kerr (vocalista) y Charlie Burchill (guitarrista), el dúo se conoció en la secundaria y compartieron una pasión inquebrantable por la música. Junto a otros miembros iniciales como Derek Forbes en el bajo y Brian McGee en la batería, comenzaron a tocar en pequeños clubes locales, experimentando con diferentes sonidos y estilos.
Desde el principio, Simple Minds fue una banda en constante evolución. Su álbum debut, Life in a Day de 1979, mostró una clara influencia del punk y la nueva ola, aunque no fue un gran éxito comercial. Sin embargo, con su siguiente trabajo, Real to Real Cacophony, lanzado ese mismo año, comenzaron a explorar terrenos más experimentales, que sentaron las bases para su futuro sonoro.
En 1980, con el lanzamiento de Empires and Dance, Simple Minds estableció su identidad musical. La banda comenzó a destacar en la escena musical europea, especialmente en Alemania, Francia y España. Este álbum presentó un sonido más electrónico y atmosférico, que diferenció a Simple Minds de otras bandas de la época.
El verdadero punto de inflexión llegó en 1982 con el lanzamiento de New Gold Dream (81–82–83–84). Este álbum combinaba de manera magistral el pop electrónico y el rock, y contenía éxitos como “Promised You a Miracle” y “Glittering Prize”.

Put your hands on me
Rage will dissolve like the wind
One last moment
The days were closing in
The ray of light
Was faltering
Was no more sequence
No words could tell
The pace of time
Was gathering
And you saved yourself for me
And you lead me to a sense of discovery
Waiting for a moment that you think won't come
Belief is navigation but you must go on
The heart is like a temple one cannot see
Inside this world's discovery
From the desert to the ocean we'll be following the sun
The journey now, it has just begun
And the heart is like a temple one cannot see
Inside these walls just you and me
So put your hand on me
One last moment
The waves were rolling in
The ray of light
Was faltering
And you placed your hands on me
Waiting for a moment that you think won't come
Belief is navigation but you must go on
The heart is like a temple one cannot see
Inside this world's discovery
From the desert to the ocean we'll be following the sun
The journey now, it has just begun
And the heart is like a temple one cannot see
Inside these walls just you and me
So put your hand on me
So I'll see
That the rage will dissolve like the wind
Endlessly
No more life cast away, so lonely
When you lead me to this sense of discovery
So put your hand on me
So I will see
That the rage will dissolve like the wind
Endlessly
Inside this world's discovery
Waiting for a moment that you think won't come
Belief is navigation but you must go on
The heart is like a temple one cannot see
Inside this world's discovery
From the desert to the ocean we'll be following the sun
The journey now, it has just begun
And the heart is like a temple one cannot see
Inside these walls just you and me
Waiting for a moment that you think won't come
Belief is navigation but you must go on
The heart is like a temple one cannot see
(Put your hand on me)
From the desert to the ocean we'll be following the sun
The journey now, it has just begun
And the heart is like a temple one cannot see
(Put your hand on me)
Waiting for a moment that you think won't come
Belief is navigation but you must go on
The heart is like a temple one cannot see
