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 that has encompassed stratospheric highs and humbling lows, marriages and divorces, fatherhood, fickle fame, tricky inter-band dynamics, and the occasional explosive bust-up.
The long-awaited memoir from Simple Minds’ founding members and lifelong collaborators, Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill, now available in North America!
A candid, moving, and kinetic story of self-realization through the power of music, Our Secrets Are the Same is the remarkable joint memoir by Simple Minds’ founding 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 that powered teenage dreams into visionary action.
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.
Fascinating and funny, evocative and inspiring, this unforgettable memoir captures a unique journey through life and music, and a friendship like no other.
