On a PC, the tracks should start playing automatically. On a smartphone or tablet, you might need to press the "play" arrow below. By popular demand there is a cool new "search" button. Or go old school and explore the menus. The first menu has our newest trending hits. On the covers I play all the guitar parts and sing all the vocals unless otherwise credited.
SIMPLE MINDS LYRICS (released in 1982)
"New Gold Dream"
(81-82-83-84)
New Gold Dream
She is the one in front of me, the siren and the ecstasy
New Gold Dream
Crashing beats and fantasy, setting sun in front of me
New Gold Dream
And the world goes hot
And the cities bake
And the beat goes crashing
All along the way
She is your friend until the ocean breaks
And when you dream, dream in the dream with me
And when you dream, dream in the dream with me
81 - 82 - 83 - 84
81 - 82 - 83 - 84
New Gold Dream
Sun is set in front of me, worldwide on the widest screen
New Gold Dream
Burning bridge and ecstasy, crashing beats and fantasy
Dream in the dream with
And the world goes hot
And the cities bake
And the beat goes crashing
All along the way
She is your only friend until the ocean breaks
And when you dream, dream in the dream with me
And when we dream, dream in the dream with me
81 - 82 - 83 - 84
81 - 82 - 83 - 84
New Gold Dream
The siren and the ecstasy, she's the one in front of me
New Gold Dream

This has to be my favorite song by the Simple Minds. I just now realize that it is about Mother Earth (the "she" referred to in the song as being our friend for now, and global warming ("and the world goes hot and the cities bake") well ahead of many of us, let alone the Republican leadership. Begs the question of who are the real simple minds, no? I consider the song part of my tribute to Mike Detlefs since he was all about trees and keeping them healthy.
