"Someone Somewhere In Summertime" is a song by Simple Minds released as the third single from the album New Gold Dream (81–82–83–84) in 1982. Its performance in the UK Singles Chart was significantly poorer than the band's two previous hits, peaking at no. 36 and charting for 5 weeks.[2] Nonetheless, it has become a live favourite.[3][4][5] and acclaimed as one of the album's most popular tracks.[6]
The song also charted in Ireland, peaking at number 19.[7]
Mel Gaynor was the drummer for the song, with Kenny Hyslop and Mike Ogletree being the other session drummers for New Gold Dream (81–82–83–84). No promotional video was made for the song's release,[8] as the band were preparing for a forthcoming tour of the UK.[9]
