I feel very fortunate to have been a young man when this music was currently happening. Music today can’t come close to this. Todays young people are missing out.
Damn! i don't care what your race is or what your music genre is,if you are not feeling this song...something's definitely wrong with you! This dude sings all of his songs live as good as you hear them on the radio! He's incredibly talented! i got myself his double album...heaven on earth!
Absolutely! I've always loved this song. It evokes a feeling of nostagia to such deep extent that it makes me both happy and sad at the same time. Happy because I can reminisce about the good old days with a smile when I hung out with my pals blasting 80s songs in my car after a few drinks or thinking about my class teacher who I had a crush on. Lol. It's also sad because those days are gone now and there's no way I can go back in time to relive them, fix those little mistakes, experience first love once again.
Well said sir! I have seen him twice and would have been three except for covid. My new partner saw him with me and was blown away. He is amazing live. Please keep on keeping on Mick.
@@Vasu979 I think you have stolen my sentiments about music in general! This is exactly how i feel when i listen to some songs,i wasn't that grown in the 80s but the 90s,early and mid 2000s are my 80s! I also had a crush on my biology teacher in school,she was the prettiest teacher i had ever seen! When she taught in class I'd stare at her and fantasize about kissing her!😀😃😀I didn't do well in biology at all! And i hated the teacher she was seeing,he was a drunkard and i have no idea what she saw in him!,I heard they got married later on and had kids! What a bummer!!😀😃Anyway..music is amazing! I have no specific genre,i listen to everything and can go back in time as far as the music itself takes me.
And not only this song... We mean all of their creations!... Only simply red can give the sensation we are in heaven when the magnificent Mickie begins to sing a song!... ✨✨✨
He was in Cuba here! Man i thought it was just me! Music crosses all barriers including language,i have an album by this Cuban musical group(Beuna Vista Social Club) and the song that does it for me is Chan Chan,and as much as i have no idea what the meaning of the lyrics is because of the language barrier,the song brings me to tears,the vocal and rhythm arrangements are out of this world!
What a beautiful violinist at 1:26 and the back up singers are such beautiful women! Let’s give these wonderful musicians and back up singers their due.
I’ve loved this song since it was first released in 1986. It still gets to me after all those years. “I’ll keep holding on”. Hold on Red, hold on my ginger brother.
Now that's what you call a top notch singing voice! This man has a fantastic vocal range! He can roar like a bear, Then come down from there, and be soft , sweet, angelical
I've heard this song since it was first released in the '80s. Not many people knew you back then but I was in love with your sound. As I'm watching the show tonight, I want to know one thing. Who is that gorgeous guitarist with the long black straight hair and tinted glasses on. Is he hot or what? I love the song. I love you Mick but I had to get that in there. I'm so happy u advanced and now you're on top and everybody knows you are not just simply red Rather we should call u by ur name Mick. Keep the dream alive 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Hi Mick! Gooseskn all the time, wherever I listen this song. It is a true evergreen for me and listening remembers a lot. Thanks for writing this peace of music.
By far, one of the 20 best bands + singer groups EVER... They "glue" like not many others... Holding Back The Years in a Cuban style was so cool... ...what a kindness...
Mick Hucknall has such a beautiful voice AND he shares my birthday (June 8th)!!!!! This will always be a very special song to me. Whenever I hear it, I am immediately transported back in time to the summer of 1986 & my mom dropping me off for summer camp early in the morning in our 1985 Dodge Colt Vista with condensation/dew wearing off of the open windows & the exhaust still emitting that rich "cold start" odor.
What an incredible singer. He sings live as well as recorded. This song is so moving! I sent it to my brother when he was dying of cancer for inspiration. I’ll keep holding on!
I love this version. Little slowlier and more classical...with violins and the almost solo classical guitar. Mick’s voice, well, absolutely beautiful! Warm, elegant, extremely emotional.
Yes... Before he was married, Mick had a major reputation for being a ladies man esp with many, many female celebrities! Best of luck with marriage Mick...ijs Simply Red were an awesome group.
Seven hundred and seventy eight howling at the moon lunatics, as of June 24, 2020. How can this version be anything but smooth, Afro-Cuban slash Irish delight?!?
Here we are last month of 2022.... back to the amazing and happy 80´s. We remember the amazing Simply Red shows in Brazil. Lets hold back the years.... regards from Brazil.
Mick is for me one of the greatest voices of all time. Now i listening this incredible singer since 1985, and like a good old wine, his voice is better than on the beginning time.
Line if the sexiest man I've ever had the pleasuring of watching and listening. We're the same age. If I hadn't been so busy raising children and working hard I would have lined up behind all the others just to feel his auto. Great!
Um Linda canção simplesmente!!!uma daquelas canções cuja melodia" Ágora" sem pedir licença desencadeado emoções e marcando momentos... gratidão, que tá ouvindo Agora dá um Like❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹
Merci merci merci j ai 68 ans et tant de souvenirs sur cette musique et ce groupe que j adore🌹😴💚💖🍾🎉

You bet. Rap crap mostly or auto tuning fake stuff.
"I' ll take care of you " .

Yes if only Dublin Ireland October 6Th was my flight ticket in my hands? Premium Club Arena front D row!!!!!!

Holding Back the Years with an Afro-Cuban groove. My, my, my, that is gaROOOOOOOOOvy!!!
His voice is the same as it was in 1985 ...clear, soulful, and pure 💞
High Tenor Voice Beautiful!
@@raymondcristo5474 He wrote the song at age seventeen, it's about his childhood and his parents, Pater- Father/Mater- Mother
no matter how many times he’s sung this song, he knows damn well he still got it.
A tip : you can watch series at flixzone. Been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Luciano Ricardo yea, have been watching on Flixzone} for since december myself :D
@Luciano Ricardo Yea, I have been watching on Flixzone} for months myself =)

I just love this samba version. Such a timeless classic
Excellent Orchesta and Simply Red voice..........................................Beautiful...............................
A true gift from God. Thank you Mick, have loved you for years.
I love Simply Red he's one of my favorite singers.
Simply beautiful
What a beautiful violinist at 1:26 and the back up singers are such beautiful women! Let’s give these wonderful musicians and back up singers their due.
Made me think of Violinist Lettice Rowbotham "All Performances on Britain's Got Talent" by Got Talent Global
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MAN !!!!!!
this is such a PERFECT performance.
This song is the only one that get me teary eyes and I still don't know why
His pitch and ease a a singer is unreal
My late wife and I used to dance to this when we first met. We fell in love to simply red. Now this song is holding back the tears. Miss you babe.
Timeless Song ...Thank you Simply Red .
At what age he is allways the same. Quality 100%❤👍
I’ve loved this song since it was first released in 1986. It still gets to me after all those years. “I’ll keep holding on”. Hold on Red, hold on my ginger brother.
This man was blessed with an incredibly beautiful voice. I could listen to him sing the phone book.
I CAN'T SING THE PHONE BOOK ANYMORE
BABE! .....BUT THIS SONG ALWAYS GIVES ME
A LIFT! .........
Top
Sorry wrong number..... When he sing the phone book? Or out of cover?
He's not that good. Have you ever heard Marvin Gaye or Nat King Cole?
@@juandef4115 ha, his voice is ultra silk. He sings exactly live as he does in a studio.
Simplement sublime
Wish I couldholdbackthe years to have my dad back he passed February this year
Never realized how talented this dude is.
Mick is a sound engineers dream.
@Michael Antony Hats off to him.
Nothing and I mean Nothing, is better than live music!
Dear Red. You didn’t waist a single year ❤️

Healthy & Nurtured chata
@Ginger D Can you believe "Rap" has been around, since the 1970's? I did not vote for it, ever.
YES ..... YES ..... OH YES! ..... GREAT STUFF!
Love Simple Red and the Latin Rhythm variation introduced into the melody of this famous song. Love it !!!!!!!!
His voice in this song puts me in total "calm" no matter what the situation may be🧘🏽♀️
Yes and you are simply right
This is a good variation on the music...he sounds exactly the same as he did on the recording...what quality
Geweldig
Same key!
My exact thoughts Ms Hill
His voice is his blessing!
But that Afro-Cuban groove!!! Oh mercy!!!

First time I heard Simply Ref my mother played the song "If you don't know me " in the 1980s I've been a fan 🎶🎶🎶
First time I heard Holding Back the years on the radio I thought the same.Plus I since seen them in concert and they were amazing in that small club
Typo--
It's "Simply Red."
AMO SIMPLY RED- BRAZIL- 11 / 2021
What a brilliant man, his voice is totally unique and timeless ❤
Love your voice and your Songs forever
A real Master... Simply brilliant...
