🎶 "Don’t You (Forget About Me)" – Simple Minds (1985)

I’m a huge fan of '80s music—honestly, I think it's the best era of music. There’s just something magical about the sound, the emotion, the synths, and the unforgettable hooks that came out of that decade. Today’s track is one of those timeless songs that hits every single time:

You probably recognize it from The Breakfast Club, which is one of those movies that just sticks with you. That final scene with Judd Nelson walking across the football field with his fist in the air? This song is that moment. It’s pure ‘80s gold—melancholic but powerful, catchy but emotional.

What I love most about this track is how it feels like it's talking directly to you. There’s a kind of longing in it, like a reminder that even if life moves on, some people and moments deserve to be remembered.

Here’s the chorus—go on, sing along:

Don’t you forget about me
I’ll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out

If you’ve never really sat down and listened to it outside the movie, give it a go. And if you know it already—well, it’s always worth a replay.
