WAS's Awesome New Wave Song Of The Week #38: Simple Minds - Someone, Somewhere In Summertime

This week’s Awesome Song is by a band who already have two appearances in the Top 200 (that’s how awesome they are!).

Simple Minds scored spots #69 and #179 on Marc’s Top 200 with “Don’t You Forget About Me” and “Love Song” respectively. Great songs.  I always preferred early Simple Minds, when their songs were either more driving (like “Love Song” and "I Travel") or dreamy and ethereal (like the entire New Gold Dream album). 

This week’s entry is of the latter variety and comes off of New Gold Dream and is my favorite SM song.  It’s a timeless, haunting, beautiful classic.

Enjoy “Someone, Somewhere In Summertime”!

    Thanks MD! Another similarly dreamy & ethereal song is coming up in a few weeks on Awesome Song... another favorite of mine from a band you wouldn’t expect ! It’ll be part of an entry on a “golden touch” new waver ... whose name is not Clarke, Morodor or Dolby !
