I love songs born of a simple idea made into a fully-blown, multicolored thing.
Simple Minds are from Glasgow and yes, this song bears more than a passing resemblance to vintage U2 (the bands were friendly and this song was debuted at a 1983 live gig in Dublin with Simple Minds having been invited to open for.… wait for it…. U2.)
This composition comes from the band’s bassist playing one repeated note (in D) throughout the entire track. The lyrics were written by the band’s frontman, Jim Kerr, inspired by a walk along the River Clyde observing his city’s native shipyard industry in decline.
A song of hope and rebirth from one of the finest live bands I’ve ever witnessed, as the video (also shot at a gig in Glasgow) makes clear. 🏴
Simple Minds: they’re so much more than just a hit track from an 80s John Hughes teen movie!

The best map projection for my money. Shows the continents (mostly) uninterrupted, doesn’t distort area or shape too badly, completely useless for navigation, looks beautiful. What’s your favorite map projection?
