background
"After the No 1 success of Don't You (Forget About Me), it would be
foolish to deny that we needed an event-type song to follow up.
Alive And Kicking created the desired impact and made sure we could
comfortably rise to the challenge when the pressure was truly on" - Jim
|
MM: Alive and Kicking is such an epic sounding song. And for me, it was my introduction to Simple Minds. What can you remember
about writing the song?.
JK: I loved it from day one. I think it started with Mick MacNeil who came up with the chords
and the verse and the intro and as soon as he did it was one of those 'hair on the back of the neck' moments I remember thinking. But there was
a long way to go after that, and again we still had to come up with that unique thing. Don’t You (Forget About Me) had
just been number one in America and Jimmy Iovine our producer said: "You have to come up with something
that can live up to and follow on from that, and you need something epic." We were already going there he was just driving us on. I suppose when
it got to recording Robin Clark's backing vocal sealed the deal."

JK: Alive And Kicking I remember because, after the success of
Don't You (Forget About Me), we were terrified we didn't have anything up our
sleeve to follow that and therefore we thought we'd look really stupid. And we knew that we needed - not just another strong
song - but an event song. "What's an event song Jimmy?" "We need an event song. We need an
anthem thing. We need all this stuff." And then finally after working on it, recording it, I remember - and this is what comes
to me whenever we play the song - I remember the mix of the song was too complicated, we'd never get it out of the studio... It
was in Manhattan at about five in the morning, but it was the summer months, so it was already light and the garbage trucks and - you
know, New York smells in the summer - and walking down and I had a Sony Walkman. I was nervous. I wondered if this thing sounds
as good as I thought it did in the studio because it really sounded great. And I plugged in, and the sun was coming up, and I
was walking down towards Columbus, listening to Alive And Kicking and I thought
'This is really going to work.' By the time I got to the hotel - and I can tell you this because there's a local element to
it - I went in for early morning breakfast and the guys from the brilliant Blue Nile - Glasgow band as well - were staying
in the Mayflower Hotel. And normally I wouldn't say this, but I was sat, having a cup of coffee, I said to Paul "I've got
this song. I've got to play you it. You have to hear this." And he went "I'll listen to it later." [Laughs]
BS: The man had more important things. He had tea and toast in front of him.
JK: And I can understand. What was he supposed to say? "Oh, no it's crap" or, regardless. But I remember thinking
"Listen to this outside of us because it really sounds like the canine's bollocks."
BS: If you had been sitting there with your mushroom omelette and he said "Listen to this new Blue Nile song" you'd have
said "Oh. I'll check it out later this afternoon."
JK: Yeah, you're right.

JK: So, Jimmy was like "Hey. How are you going to follow this?
You're really going to have to.... I don't know how you're going to follow this? And if you don't follow it,
you're going to look stupid." We were like "auuughhh".
JE: But at least you at to write to brief a little bit then, because you got this huge hit on your hands
and it was like "Right. Let's try that out for a while." Is that how it went?
JK: Confidence was high and Charlie and
Mick were coming up with things like
All The Things She Said. It was like "We're gonna be alright."
But we knew we needed some kind of "big event" song. Because it was MTV world. And it wasn't good
enough to have a song. And Jimmy was great, and he was really pushing
us in that way. "You should go back on the vocals. And it should be this." He was coming to the rehearsals and
we'd have ideas and he was - I think the thing with the guys was that there was so much music there. Because
everyone was contributing and writing. But Jimmy was being that area.
JE: And that was Alive And Kicking. That was the one. That
was "We can do this ourselves." So, talk to me a little bit about the gestation of that. How did that come about?
Where did it start? The piano line or the drum beat?
CB: I remember it vividly. We'd taken a break and Jim had been
away somewhere. And he'd been listening to some jams we'd been doing. And there was one bit that was
three guitar chords with echo and a rhythm. And it was just a rhythmic thing over three chords. And Jim said
"I think this is like..." And I thought "We'd be able to write on that." And it was ... And that's the very,
very first thing I remember about the song. And, on the way to where it ended up,
Jimmy was a bit influence on that. Because every time we'd progressed
on a certain part of it, Jimmy would come in and go "You need another bit.
And you still need another bit."
JE: Were you under huge pressure to put more "Las" in Alive And Kicking?
JK: Well no. But I laugh about it. I love the way how there'd be a piece of music and I'd go to the
guys and say 'It's good because I can see the cityscape, and the sun's rising, and there's a guy" and he'd
go "No. No. No. It's three chords and a rhythmic thing." [Laughs]
JE: You're very romantic about it.
JK: I think I was writing a video more than a song. The funny thing is - and we always laugh - but
Charlie says that... No the music was fantastic and we had it there.
But how do you articulate? For instance, I was trying to articulate the joy, there was a great joy in the song,
there was great overwhelming feeling in it. What catch phrase would go with that? Life affirming. To me - and I
love saying this to Charlie - I love not being a musician. To me it's
not what they're doing, although I know it's amazing - it's what it does to you. And Simple Minds' music
is - I think - there's pictures in it, strong pictures in it, you trying to pick out the images, the story, and
something that would just match.
JK: We laugh about Jimmy. It's funny. So I did a scat vocal
with a half-written lyric. And of course, I go to do it, and I think "I'll nail it properly now." So
Jimmy's already in the song. So I can't remember what I came up with, but
I changed the first line. So I sang whatever it and Jimmy goes
"Hey. Stop, stop." He goes: "Where's 'You turn me on'?" And I said "You can't sing 'You turn me on'. Give
me a break. Jimmy, I can't sing 'You turn me on'. It's awful."
JE: That's not life affirming - it's horny.
CB: [Laughs]
JK: It's just terrible. It sounds like some soul band in Scarborough. And he was
"You've just ruined a million seller. My girlfriend - she calls it the 'You turn me on song.'" And I was
like "Really?"
JE: Now I'm interested - now the girls are involved.
JK: But it was true. It was "Jimmy, you're kidding.
'You turn me on?' I'm not Marvin Gaye. Unfortunately." But, lo and behold, Jimmy's
persuasive...
JE: And he was right.
CB: He was right, yeah.

lyrics
|
You turn me on,
You lift me up,
And like the sweetest cup I'd share with you.
You lift me up,
Don't you ever stop - I'm here with you.
Now it's all or nothing,
'Cause you say you'll follow through.
You follow me,
And I, I, I follow you.
What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Who's gonna save you?
Alive and kicking.
Stay until your love is,
Alive and kicking.
Stay until your love is,
Until your love is,
Alive.
You lift me up to the crucial top - so I can see.
You lead me on till the feelings come and the lights that shine on.
But if that don't mean nothing,
Like if someday it should fall through.
You'll take me home, where the magic's from,
And I'll be with you.
What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when your love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Don't say goodbye.
Don't say goodbye.
In the final seconds who's gonna save you?
Alive and kicking.
Stay until your love is - love is alive and kicking.
Alive and kicking.
Stay until your love is - love is alive and kicking.
