Song In My Head



Simple Minds' sublime instrumental "Somebody Up There Likes You" from 1982's New Gold Dream. It's a perfect respite between harder driving (and better-known) songs like "Promised You a Miracle" and "New Gold Dream". I just got the somewhat misleadingly titled X5 collection (it's actually the first six studio albums if you separate Sons and Fascination from Sister Feelings Call, as was originally intended) and I'm enjoying it immensely. Before John Hughes movie "The Breakfast Club" pigeonholed them, Simple Minds were an interesting and artistic band.
