    To people that keep informing me that my analysis and interpretation was incorrect lol thank you I realize that but I prefaced with saying that it was more of an inference and I stated I wanted to focus more predominantly on then music than the lyrics. Bless.

      Jay Rah, you seem to like the innovative arrangements and musicality, please do a reaction video to this classic from Elton John Funeral For A Friend / Love Lies Bleeding (Remastered 2014), would like to hear your thoughts. It's the opening track off his double album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road". One of the best openings in music history.

      From my point of view no interpretation of any music is wrong. The interpretation belongs exclusively to the listener. What others can do is appreciate, or not, that view point.
      Good job at interpreting this song.

  • @Davey_bfg71
    @Davey_bfg71 Год назад +5

    Hi bro greetings from across the pond 😊🇬🇧 Si Simply Red we’re formed in Manchester, England in 1985 by lead singer Mick Hucknall. He was 17 when he wrote this and it reflects a troubled childhood where he saw his mom abandon him when he was just 3 yrs old and subsequently raised by a tyrannical dad 😕 This was their 3rd single from their DEBUT album and provided them with their 1st No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the States! They also hit the top in the States with their cover of a song called If You Don’t Know Me By Now which was first recorded by a sick group outta Philadelphia called Harold Melvin And The Blue Notes, they reached No.3 on BBH100.
    Simply Red then hit the top with their version AND WON the Grammy for best R & Song for 1989!! Their version can also be found in the 2000 Movie American Psycho and 1991’s Class Action. You deffo wanna check that out, the music vid is just perfect for the tone of the arrangement, shot in black ‘n’ white in a smoky jazz club kinda setting 😊 SR are touring in ‘23 although the did disband around 2010 only to reform in 2015. The majority of their songs are originals with a major contributor (I wouldn’t say he’s the only contributor) but most of their songs are written or co-written by Hucknall. Another really great cover they did was You Make Me Feel Brand New, do yourself a HUGE FAVOUR BRO and take a look at them singing it LIVE in Sydney Australia around about 2009/2010, it is STUNNING!! Mick Hucknall is that rare breed who sounds AS GOOD LIVE sometimes better than the original studio recording! That live recording in Sydney, Australia of that song is so good on so many levels, his vocals are just sublime and his mike control and mike placement is a masterclass in live performance. Hope you get to see it, I’m sure you will love it 😊🇬🇧🇺🇸

  • @danielswood
    @danielswood 2 года назад +37

    Mick Hucknall's voice was stunning from SR's first hit, 'Money's too tight to mention' onwards. And yes, he looks so unlikely to sound so soulful! That first hit's still worth a listen - so are several more songs, such as Something got me started and their cover of If you don't know me by now.

  • @bemused9522
    @bemused9522 2 года назад +31

    Oh how I love this song. Other songs by them: If you don't know me by now, Stars, Something got me started .....all great, however, I think this will always be their masterpiece.

  • @xoxxobob61
    @xoxxobob61 2 года назад +11

    The lead singer Mick Hucknall wrote the song when he was 17 years old and it was about when his Mother left the family when he was a young boy. There is a lot of real life heartache in the Lyrics when he says "Hoping for the Arms of "Mater" which is British slang for "Mother".

    I saw Simply Red in Haydock, Liverpool in the early 2000s. They were not disappointing. Mick Hucknall is the genius behind the group, writing a large proportion of the songs and covering particular songs that he liked, usually with different arrangements. Another early song is 'Money To Tight To Mention', faster, but still very meaningful.

    1980s was such a wonderful, creative and cool time for western music. Generally easy going, smooth, free of fanwars and people trying to make things chart to outdo some other fandom, like they do now. Lol. About the best you could buy from an artist was a tape, a vinyl record (a promo marble white label pressing if you were a collector, and lucky!) and a fanclub badge and poster! You'd save up hard to get to the concerts, usually in tiny clubs and music venues. You didn't know much about artists personal lives or how they voted, as now. That stuff was generally private and tbh I think people were better all round for it. You could make friends just through different music, because you weren't obliged to 'stan' an artist or wage war with another group's fandom. It's was like a great big music family in the 80s and 90s, no internet controlling everything, just good vibes, everyone chilling.

    That track is just right. It's one of those songs that makes you feel better for hearing it

    I’ve had this song in my head since it came out back in the 80s. Good to know it still haunts folks.
