The long-awaited memoir from Simple Minds' founder members and lifelong collaborators, Jim Kerr and Charlie BurchillA candid, moving and kinetic story of self-realisation through the power of music, Our Secrets Are The Same is the remarkable joint memoir by Simple Minds' founder members, Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill. It not only reveals the inner workings of one of the most innovative and successful British bands of the past half-century, but the deeply personal tale of an extraordinary friendship which powered teenage dreams into visionary action.Exploring key songs, places, years and events in the Simple Minds story, and told in the distinct voices of both men, Our Secrets Are The Same explores a bond which has encompassed stratospheric highs and humbling lows, marriages and divorces, fatherhood, fickle fame, tricky inter-band dynamics, the occasional explosive bust up, and a ruthless streak to rival the Sicilian Mafia.Their connection is grounded in shared experiences and a set of values and codes so deeply ingrained they don't need to be spoken. For Our Secrets Are The Same is not just the story of two rock stars, but of two sons, brothers, partners and parents who have never forgotten where they come from. Two men who have remained deeply bonded to their roots and each other, while fulfilling a teenage dream to form a world-class live band and take their music around the globe.Fascinating and funny, evocative and inspiring, this unforgettable memoir captures a unique journey through life and music, and a friendship like no other.

Ziemlich beste Freunde:Die Autobiografie der Simple Minds»Wenn ich an Charlie denke«, sagt Simple-Minds-Sänger Jim Kerr, »dann denke ich nicht daran, wie wir bei Live Aid oder beim Nelson Mandela Tribute Concert zusammen auf der Bühne standen, sondern daran, wie ich ihn als Achtjährigen im Sandkasten spielen sah, als wir uns das erste Mal begegneten.« Denn so begann im Grunde die Karriere der Simple Minds: mit Jim Kerr und Charlie Burchill, zwei Jungen aus bescheidenen Verhältnissen im grauen Glasgow, die beste Freunde wurden und 15 Jahre später den Klang der Achtzigerjahre maßgeblich prägten.In Unsere Musik, unsere Geheimnisse – Die lange Freundschaft der Simple Minds blicken die beiden zurück auf ihr Leben und auf die Band, die sie 1978 gründeten – mit Jim am Mikrofon und Charlie an der Gitarre. Nach ersten Versuchen mit Punk und New Wave entwickelten die Simple Minds einen mitreißenden hymnischen Rock-Sound, wie ihn sonst höchstens noch U2 ablieferten, und konnten im Vorprogramm von Peter Gabriel erste internationale Erfahrungen sammeln. Der große Durchbruch kam 1985 mit »Don''t You (Forget About Me)«, als der Song für den Soundtrack des Kino-Blockbusters The Breakfast Club ausgewählt wurde. Die Simple Minds hatten ihren ersten Nummer-1-Hit in den USA und traten ihren Siegeszug durch die großen Hallen und Stadien der Welt an.40 Jahre später sind Jim Kerr und Charlie Burchill immer noch die treibende Kraft hinter den Simple Minds, die 2022 mit Direction Of The Heart ihr 20. Album veröffentlichten. Was hinter den Kulissen der Band, aber auch sonst in ihrem Leben geschah, haben die beiden jetzt zusammen mit dem britischen Journalisten Graeme Thomson in Worte gefasst. Zwei Männer, zwei Erinnerungen, zwei verschiedene Stimmen – auf diese Weise ist die Autobiografie der Simple Minds nicht nur zu einem großen Rock-Buch geworden, sondern würdigt vor allem eine ganz besondere Freundschaft, die bis heute hält.
