YOUR NAME IN LIGHTS, THE NEW SINGLE

Simple Minds release their new single ‘Your Name in Lights’ on BMG, taken from the soundtrack to their critically acclaimed documentary ‘Everything Is Possible’.

Written in collaboration with writer and producer Paul Statham, Simple Minds set out to match the film’s ambience whilst recapturing the innocent spirit of their early days “when we were ‘wee boys’ playing around with our synthesisers,” says the band’s Jim Kerr “proudly wearing our Kraftwerk and Brian Eno influences on our sleeve.”

The resultant track mirrors a style that Simple Minds previously produced on their 1979 Reel To Reel Cacophony album, with an accompanying lyric which, as Kerr puts it, “conjures up a ‘Dreamer’s conversation with a distant Muse’ – that Muse being Aretha Franklin as sung by Sarah Brown”.
