speed your love to me

simple minds - one of my favourite bands of the 80's
saw them every time they toured, bought every album released
loved pretty well every tune they cranked out (except the big one)
but if i ever had to pick one tune for the desert island collection this is it
had forgotten all about it until a random search on youtube popped it up
reminding me of seeing them perform this in concert a couple of years ago
this is just an amazing piece of uplifting power-pop-rock-love-song
huge drum sound, driving bass, superb guitars, perfect keyboards
and jim kerr on vocals extolling his love to get her ass over here
...or words to that effect but the message is nuch the same
i must admit i hadn't taken too much notice of the video
but 25 years later and it's a real trip that it takes us on
a suggestion of heading on the freeway out of a city
a bit of psychedelic time-warp travelling stuff
then a burst out into the great outdoors
perfect - repeat play entirely possible
and better still - 2009 back in oz
woo-hoo for us minds fans
