He’s singing about his mother, who left him as a small child; true story. That pain is what makes him sing so beautifully.
Thank you for that history! These words also hit me deeply with a past relationship!.
Thanks for the knowledge.
I've heard this song before. What a voice! Sad history.
Still Beautiful and Sad..
He just can SANG!
And the guy singing was 17 when he wrote this song.
Wow didn't realize he was that young good info 👍
Yes, I have all his album releases except one. Since I first heard him, he had me!!💖
Whoa 😳 I was 18 when I wrote my first rhyme. It was a reciter to Slick Rick’s Children’s Story. P2TG
@@Cozmoe-ze2we That's great!!!
@@jacqueline4514 P2TG
This song screams both beauty and pain - a song for the ages.
This!
Yes it does because I feel both.
The video too.
Exactly!!
As I keep saying time and time again, this song is simply 'hauntingly' beautiful...
The first time I heard simply red was 35 years ago. It’s still a beautiful song today.. too bad todays music doesn’t have that longevity
This song, don’t care how old it is, is still so good.
I love this!
Yes u r so right no matter how old it gets. People gonna feel it.
So good!!!!🙏🏽
Still good?! THIS SONG RIGHT HERE is a certified banger... Its a timeless classic.... and even after all of that... It's STILL
*UNDERRATED*
My brother had this song at his funeral. He related to it because he never knew who his father was. My mom never disclosed who he was. Brakes my heart that all his life he wanted to know who he was...he was my 1/2 brother but loved him more than my full brother ...love and miss you Edward
Beautiful. 😍
So sad. 💔Thank you for sharing. May your brother RIP 🙏💫 He now knows/is with his father. 💕
My condolences on your loss. May he rest in peace.
Better yet-listen to the original
So sorry for your loss. I had tears in my eyes reading this. 😪
Mick Hucknall wrote this song at the age of 17, Holding Back The Years is about the time he decided to leave his father's house and about the mother who abandoned him when he was 3 years old. Today Mick is 60 ears old and continues to sing with Simply Red! It's about his mother abandoning him at age 3 & him hoping she'd return to have a relationship with him. He wasted years and tears wishing for her to return but she never did. Abandonment by a parent, especially a mother, will scar a person for life.
Why isn't he still on the charts? His voice is haunting, I have chills hearing his voice🥶
He still performs and sounds great, 35 years later!
I think maybe there was a time when Simply Red were ALWAYS in the charts and on the radio and people got bored with hearing them, but yes what a beautiful voice he has.
Ed Sheeran
One of my favorite groups and song.
I love his music. But he did turn into a bit of an arse
He's British.and he's "Red". His name is Mick Hucknall. He is one of the best "blue eyed" soul singers alive. Amazing performer and songwriter.
I’m Irish and I’m sure he’s not Irish. I think he’s from Manchester in England 🤔
@@suedoyle4526 You're right. I apologize. He's from Manchester
@@lamusiclover2264 In all fairness he looks even more Irish than I do 😊 You’re right about everything else, he’s amazing 🥰
He is Simply Red because in Manchester England there are two football teams Manchester United (Nicknamed: The Red Devils), and Manchester City (The Citizens) ... when you are from Manchester you are either Red for United or Blue if you support Manchester City ... Mick supports Manchester United so simply Red
@@suedoyle4526 his mother and father had an Irish parent.hes born and raised in Manchester .
Mick Hucknall, the man with a saxophone at his throat. One of the best voices in the world and still alive and still singing with the same quality.
Legend!
Simplemente el mejor. 😙👍
That is best description I’ve ever read of Mick Hucknall’s voice. Nailed it bro.
He ever find his mom?
Or did he stop? I was around went he came out in the 80s
He singing about the deep heart break and abandoned he experienced as a young boy just waiting for his mom to be there for him....and love him. Its such a beautiful song about a child's heartache 💔 I'm sure you 2 can understand about being a young boy missing their mother.
Dude can still sing. He’s amazing
Take me back to the 80s please …. SIMPLY RED SIMPLY AWESOME!!
Yasss Guys! If you liked this one wait till you hear Money’s too Tight to Mention by Simply Red.
I listen to this nearly every day. One of my favorites
listen to the orginal version by The Valentine Brothers from 1982,
is a banger too.
I was just listening to that song too! That’s song is great! Brings back memories of my childhood; my mom loved Simply Red!! I miss the 80s because of great music like this!
@@tinag.7256 I miss the 80’s too.
Try Simply Red's, "A New Flame". 😍😍
I love that a new generation is hearing this great music!
I'm such an 80s girl. Born in 84 but wish I was a 20 year old in the 80s.. Best music decade ever. ❤️🎶 THANKS BOYS 🙌
I was...the 70s and 80s were amazing...every week some new hits...and we thought it will never end...
I'm with you.. Getting 40 this year and listen to music back in the 70s..😅
This was definitely a good song back in the day...
Still is
Agreed. Still is.😘
Ageless
Still is
@@bostonlatina Perfect description!😘
This gorgeous song was inspired by his mother. His mom left the family at the tender age of 3 and this was his desire 2 see and 2 hold his mother once again. Absolutely beautiful. "If U Don't Know Me By Now" next please 👍
I’ve always liked this song. Never knew what it was about. Thanks for the info.
I've been listening to this song since I first saw the video in the 80's! I never knew it was supposedly about his mom! I always assumed it was about a lost love, I guess it wasn't that far off! Thanks for the info!
This is one of my favorite songs ever! Those first few notes just give you a feeeeeeling!
Yes.. if you don't know me by now.. another classic song❤
Very good suggestion girl
Saw them live years ago. Mick’s voice is so clear you’d think he was lip syncing. He wasn’t. Straight talent. No bad notes. Made it all look easy. Band is amazing live!
I saw Simply Red at The Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles in the 80s. Small Theater made it seem like we were up on the stage with Mick and the band. I'll never forget it. Thanks for watching them Tim and Fred.
One of my favourite singers...he can sing anything pretty much and still is at 60! He's from Manchester, England btw. thx for sharing Twins :)
These guys have open minds to great music
Indeed,and brings back memories
They’re great reviews open to all music!!
That's why I'm here! That and the laughs! ❤🤍💙
You need to check out their song “If You Don’t Know Me by Now,” by Simply Red. It’s a cover of Motown’s Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes.
Such a great song.
One of his best x
Stars is another x
I can't believe y'all just found him. Ahhh he changed my whole urban understanding. And I was a black Philly girl a teenager like Simply Red. Between this and Hall and Mates. I wasn't sure what was happening. But loved all of it they crooned like our culture. Beautiful...
Great music is color blind❤
His version of if you don't know me by now is a must
Finally....thank you. The 80's were it for great music.
His song is his feelings growing up being raised by his father. His mum left when he was three! Not a happy tune, but a true one! Beautiful because it is his feelings sung from within.
Songs are a time machine, this transports me back to my teenage years in an instant.
This song has always brought me to tears. I don't know if it's Mick Hucknell's voice, the music, the story behind it. I guess it's a combination. So achingly beautiful 😪
SAME HERE.😢😢😢❤️
I was fine with it until it was used in Only Fools and Horses, in the scene where Del is standing on his own in a disco and this is playing - that got me. ruclips.net/video/TWYodCqmAyo/видео.html
It's about his mother who left him when he was a child.
Simply Red is so smooth and jazzy, one of my absolute favorites. Thank you for showing the love! He does a remake of "If You Don't Know Me By Now" that will give you chills. Other great songs are "Something Got Me Started", "Stars", "Come to My Aid", and probably my favorite and really a great jazzy number "Sad Old Red".
STARS!!!!!!
Word up!🥰
Yep! Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes! The greats! But this Lil red head killed that song too! Soulful!
That whole album is gold, magically soulful
"Stars" is my favourite!
We ALL had the same reaction when this first came out. "WAIT, is that HIM singing?!?"
Great song.
Right
Simply Red is the names of the band, Mick Hucknall is the redhead lead singer! They are a British band who were very popular in the eighties and nineties! This is my favorite song by them but they had many hits, like, the remake of “If you don’t know me by now”, “Stars”, “Fairground “, “Something got me started”, and more’❤️❤️
Fairground is such a good song!
Yes, all great. Wish they could do reactions to them, especially If You Dont Know Me By Now!
He’s amazing! This song stands the test of time!! SO personal to him 💔
Mick Hucknall - amazing soulful voice. Beautiful song.
THANk YOU THANK YOU GUYS!! I’ve been begging you guys to react to this. You guys delivered!! I LOVED this song as a teenager. It was so smooth and melancholy at the same time. And that VOICE! Mick Hucknall is special. Thank you!!
Didn't expect to see Pam Keith in here! I love you Pam!
I listen to this at least 1x a week its in my playlist, i love this song. My mother played it when i was a child i understood it once i lived my life and had my children.
Hi guys
Simply Red is actually a British Group, one of the greats of the late 80’s and 90’s, the lead singer’s name is Mick Hucknall.
Really? He always seemed Irish to me lol
I was today years old when I found this out.....I simply equated the name to the singer. Thank you for this info.
If your going to say that tell the trust its English not British and its a Manchester band
The song reflects on his sad childhood, being abandoned by his mother when he was four. He wrote this song when he was about fifteen.
This song is a classic
Simply Red is very Jazzy. This band was very successful. They made everything sound different and new.
Simply Red are a British soul and pop band formed in Manchester in 1985. The band is led by singer and songwriter Mick Hucknall, who, by the time the band initially disbanded in 2010, was the only original member left. I was living in England when this was released. The Brits love and respect soul music. I enjoy your enthusiasm and appreciation for our music. Love and best wishes.
This is such a beautiful story about his life. As a mother, I would wrap my arms around him. He's so talented and a voice that is so special! Love him! ❤❤❤
This was a major hit back in '86. Quite a year for me, a lot of memories. America was a FAR better place than it is today
Quite true; for me as well. Take care of yourself man
It wasn’t for me. Only the music. The rest mostly no. Better off now. Paid less for being female, etc. However, some parts of the USA are going back into that mindset so you might get your 86’s again.
"Wait a minute. That's HIM singing?!" 😂😂😂
Yes. Lol
Ikr! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Seen them live twice and he’s absolutely incredible live 😎
oh yes! one of my all time favourite songs.
They're so cute. I just love them.
Blow Your Mind's Didn't It ??? I love to see the reactions ! I remember when this song was first released and I went to see them live in concert ! Legendary 😍🎶
Simply Red is an amazing group. One of the overlooked greats.
Fabulous singer ❤️ please play the Cranberries Linger 🇮🇪☘️
Or Zombie. Love that track
OMG I haven’t heard this in years, and it still sounds great.
I understand how Mick feels completely!!! I went through the same exact experience!! PLUS!!! MICK AND I HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY!!!! June 8th
@@tellyhennessey5422 Perfect timing ... Happy birthday !!
Just heard it a week ago and was going to suggest the Twins react to it!! 🥰
Pain makes beautiful lyrics.
Mick wrote this song aged 17 and he still sounds as good as he did then. You both have to listen to him singing Stars live at Rosso it’s phenomenal 👍🏻🤩🏴
He was 17yrs old when he wrote this song. According to the lyrics some believe it's about his personal life. His mother left him when he was 3yrs old.The song is beautifully sung.
Apart from being from manchester they were good band in the day
Me being from liverpool lol
Blue Eyed Soul - smooth and he still has the same lovely voice
This is awesome!! I love the concept of two black guys from the USA watching this video of Mick walking around Whitby in the UK singing his heart out!
Awesome! Really really awesome!
Thank you guys for likeing this song, it's always been one of my favourite songs ever!
Love this man's voice , his soul 💜
SIMPLY RED "MONEY'S TOO TIGHT TO MENTION"..A MUST HEAR!!
💯💯💯
Yes!It wasn't played very much.I love that song, it brings back good memories.
I remember when this came out. I never knew until now that a red haired white dude sang this. He is GOOD.
I knew I remember this video
Mick Hucknall has such a soulful voice! Watch any of his performances live!
I heard it when it first dropped on the radio in West Germany and thought it was some smooove black chick! Found out he looked just like me. I'm 'sleep!
@Buddy Lembeck He's English though. But I still agree.
@Buddy Lembeck Haha, well there ya go. Thanks, I didn't know. I just always remember that he was English because I assumed he was Irish or Scottish (because of the hair) and was surprised when he was "English". Not that English can't have red hair... Thanks.
Love this!!! 80's classic guys!!! Simply Red had some pipes!!!
One of my favorites all around.. they have a lot of good songs and his voice is one of a kind .. good pick guys.
This song still gives me chill. His voice is magical
Hey twins I heard a Radio personality talking about you guys the other day. On The Wave she talked about your appreciation for music of the past and how you went viral.
❤🤍💙
Mick's voice and that trumpet is pure gold!
Mick Hucknall, Manchester lad (UK) with a very powerful voice - good live xx very individual with red hair, stood out from the crowd 💕 xx
The location for this music video was Whitby and the abbey ruins that you see in the background in some shots, was the setting for Bram Stokers Dracula.
TMI 🤣
YOU DID IT!! I couldn't click fast enough! He has a breathtaking voice!!!
Hey Guys, was fun watching you hear Simply Red for the first time. I'm a 76 year old man, been listing to that song for many years, still listing today. Thanks for the vid.
Absolutely beautiful song. Glad the boys appreciated that🥰
Yes! That's HIM!!! AWESOME isn't he??
I love Simply Red and this song.
Absolutely love Simply Red. Thanks for reacting to this banger. All the best tunes come from the Uk. Fact 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
I was lucky to see them live When Mick sang this grown men were in tears he has the voice of an angel Thank you.
One of the most soulful vocal performances ever. Try their song "If You Don't Know Me By Now."
Their were some great British singers and groups in the 80'S and 90's. Depeche Mode,The Cure,Joe Jackson,Loose Ends. Simple Minds were a Scottish but iconic 80'S, have to react to them.
Elvis Costello.
Joe Jackson was British? I had no idea.
@@jollyrogers75 One of my husband's favorites,
Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Adam and the Ants...
@@yolandasamuels3213 All great bands.I liked the Thompson Twins,Thomas Dolby,Psychedelic Furs,George Michaels,too many to mention 😀
Don't judge a book by its cover with this guy. Saw him in Glasgow Scotland in the 80s. Fabulous voice.
So, some history on this song because it's one of my favorite songs on the planet...
Mick Hucknall, who formed Simply Red, wrote this song when he was 16. Hucknall's mom left him and his father when he was very young, leaving Mick's father to raise him. His father was a strict disciplinarian and Mick often wished his father could be different. He wished his mother was there to turn to in those tougher moments in his life, but she never returned. That's what the line "strangled by the wishes of pater; hoping for the arms of mater" is about.
Mick has said the rest of the lyrics are about remembering childhood, looking back on 'wasted years' spent too long crying, hoping for things to change, but knowing they never will. Pretty complex stuff for a 16 year old to write, but it's obvious Mick was a thoughtful guy. And this is one of the most haunting songs ever, never fails to make me cry. I can't say much about the rest of Simpy Red's catalog, since this is pretty much the only song of theirs that moves me. "Money's Too Tight To Mention" isn't bad, but this song is the epitome of Mick's songwriting and singing talent, imo.
Smooth and soft groove. Just proves you can't judge a book by its cover or in this case the dude that has fine pipes like Mr Red.Loved it. Good memories of the 80'!!😉❤s
Simply Red! I lived this growing up❤
Thanks for reacting to this song!
This was one of your best videos ever!
This is a fantastic song. I love the vibe. It was one of my father's favorites, and I always think of him when I hear it. #rip
One of my "mood" songs from back in the day!
Me 2 hun!!🤗😉
Still is..... Love it.
En live is even better, saw them a few years ago again...
Still Moves Me ...after all these years.
This dude can really sing. One of the best singers I've seen. Check out his live version of "you make me feel brand new". Originally by the stylistics. One of my favorite songs. He pulled off a very difficult song to sing. I didn't think that it was possible after the stylistics. He's awesome!
Beautiful song sung in a beautiful voice! Always have loved this song!
Top 5 songs from the 80s. Thanks guys. Great reaction.
This song hits differently than when I heard it when it came out. I loved it then and still do but I have lived a lotta life in those 40+ years
Saw Simply Red live in 1995, Mick Hucknell has one of the most unique voices in the music industry, it is a joy to hear him belt out those high notes with such ease. When the opening bars of Fairground started the arena went absolutely nuts, superb concert all thanks to the little Manc with the red hair.
This is such a good song, and Mick Hucknall is a wonderful singer.
Haven't heard this song in possibly decades, and you guys made me appreciate it further.
Mick Hucknall "RED" is from Manchester, UK. The group has some great ones. One of my favorites is "Stars".
One of the better singers I have ever listened to. Glad you clapped at the end. Simply Red is great and little known.
First concert I ever went to in a tiny little venue, he was surreal with how much he put in to his music.
AWESOME SONG!!! Lyrics r amazing. Its going to sound completely different than you think. I hope you liked it
Yesssss!! Listen to his "If you don't know me by now"! Awesome song too!
Love singing along with this beautiful man! What a voice 😍
Been lucky enough to see Simply Red live three times, fantastic each time. So many great songs. mick had long hair at the time, would come on s5age with it up in a ponytail then part way through the concert would put his head forward, pull the tie out of his hair and flick his head back, the women would go wild! One of my favourite songs is For Your Babies. Beautiful
You need to listen to “stars” and “ If you don’t know me by now “ , they will blow you away!!!
❤️ Stars. One of my happy place songs.
@@SparklimgSam agreed!!
I bawl my eyes out to stars it’s a very bittersweet song for me
Growing up we called them Complicated Orange 🤣
Absolutely love this song.
Who is this "we" you speak of? lol I laughed out loud when I read this and said "you're a dork" haha
@@coachhumph5524 🤣🤣 I am a dork🤣 my sister's and me being "we"... we were pretty hilarious 😁
@@heidithatswho.2481 That is too funny. My first guess was that it was sounds like something my college friends might come up with lol
Lol!
Love this 🤣
Seen these guys in concert a few times now...micks voice is absolutely amazing live. Think you better go down the simply red rabbit hole... money’s too tight to mention, something got me started, a new flame, if you don’t know me by now...to name a few!
I've always loved this song. It was played during that scene in Only Fools and Horses. Stunning
That song still strikes a chord to this day. Other Simply Red songs to check out: Money's Too Tight To Mention, Sunrise, and If You Don't Know Me By Now.
IS IT IN YO MIIIIIINNNNNDDDD AT ALLLLLL LL
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love Sunrise
Mick Hucknell is the lead singer. Him and the band are British. One of the best bands ever to come out of Britain imho. We need more of Simply Red
The location is Whitby in Yorkshire, in the UK. I am from Yorkshire and have family in Whitby. It's a very popular seaside town. Bram Stoker's Dracula was based here 😊
Love this song... his voice... melts butter!
