![แฉ [2/4] 11 ก.ค. 67 ‘ขวัญ อุษามณี’ เผยความจริง 16 ปีที่แล้วเกิดอะไรขึ้น? | GMM25](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/K4pXnUiObbk/mqdefault.jpg)
He was 17 when he wrote this . . . about living after his mother abandoned his father and he at the age of 4(IIRC). This is a lifetime of hurt and pain distilled in to a wail, with a mantra of hope. I first heard this on MTV in the mid-80s as a boy and it has been an anthem for the ages.
Well said
When you look at the original video, you will be so surprised by his look, not believing that wonderful voice coming from this very young white man.
He wrote the song when he was 17 too - which is wild (although it was recorded when he was 24).
This is one of those songs that sounded like an instant classic the first time I heard it.
If this almost made you tear up then "If you don't know me by now" will have the same effect. The Stars album is also a must listen. You've opened up another bottomless journey to travel down. Enjoy guys.
The MTV Generation could not escape this song when it was released.
MTV kept it on heavy rotation for weeks.
Mostly a rock/metal guy, but also as a vocalist, really do apreciate this song and the singular vocal of Mick Hucknell...Simply Red, simpy beautiful. Cheers!
Sad story behind the writing of this gem at age 17. When Mike Hucknall (lead singer, when you see him you will know instantly why the name Simply Red) was 3 years old his mother walked out of his life (leaving he and his father), what 3 year old could ever begin to understand that, I’ll tell you, the answer is ZERO (she had no relationship with him once she left, apparently didn’t even try to be a part of his life)! The emotion in his voice comes from the pain he felt growing up and wondering about the mother he’d lost. His cover of “If You Don’t Know Me By Now”, is a must and should be next!
Speaking as a creative person (I write and compose), the creation of the art very often provides the release from the pain and sadness that inspired it.
Hit number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1986. I couldn’t get enough of this song. If You Don’t Know Me By Now, a cover, was another insanely huge and beautiful hit. Mick Hucknall has a glorious voice.
Thank you, Scott, for a great request and Thank you NicknLex...
I always love to see people hear "Holding Back The Years" for the first time.
If You Don’t Know Me By Now next!!
Pr1mero!!!!! I fell in love with this song immediately when it came out. I was 13!! That muted horn!!!
I fully recommend watching any live performance from them, he really nails the vocals.
Whatever Mick sings is gold. "Stars", "If You Don't Know Me By Now" and "Money's Too Tight To Mention" are excellent follow ups. You should check him out live too. Can't wait to see Lex playing bass to this 😉
"Money's Too Tight To Mention" is Killer, also 'Thrill Me" is great.
He does a version of the Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes song, "If You Don't Know Me By Now," that's pretty good, too.
You really should listen to both.
Simply Red's version isn't quite as good as the original imo, but he does it justice.
I was in the 10th grade when this song was released you guys should watch the video to this song. Also his cover to If You Don't Know Me By Now. 👍🏼
The 80's and 90's were amazing. Inxs etc they were just phenomenal bands.
In 2008, I was living in Germany. I got a call from my German girlfriend that she just heard on the radio that Simply Red was giving a concert that evening in Mainz, FOR FREE, and anyone hearing the announcement could attend. Of course we jumped on it and drove to Mainz. It was an open air concert with a relatively small crowd, so we were able to be right up front center stage. It was one the best concerts I've ever seen/heard.. Mick Hucknall sang every song so perfectly you'd swear you were listening to a polished studio recording, including this song, and he seemed to do it so effortlessly, even though it was 23 years later. Everyone (including us) were moving and dancing to the music. Unforgettable night that stills gives me chills when I think about it.
Wow was right there with you while reading this. Thanks for transporting me there!! ✨ 💗 Lex
@@NicknLex I'd call this song jazz tinged blue eyed soul. They are a diverse band incorporating some funk , pop & dance vibes. A good rabbit hole to dive in , also the singer Mick Hucknell sounds as good if not better live.
"Strangled by the wishes of pater. Hoping for the arms of mater." Such powerful lyrics. One of the best songs of the decade. When this song dropped, everyone said "Wait, what?!?! Who is that!!?!?!?"
"Holding back the years" and "Sunrise" are my all time favourites by Simply Red, though completely different vibes.
One of the best singers of the last century !!! and better guy
Glad u found simply red guys. What a band.what a voice and ther rest of the album is brill.i think there are at least 5 hits on that album..stars is fab
Nick and Lex - Congratulations, you made me cry again. It is such a pleasure watching you react to my favorite music. Holding Back the years is my very favorite 1980's song.
Watching your reaction brings back the memory of how you listened to the Tears For Fears "Woman In Chains" song that first time. I think you were just as shocked by the beauty of this song.
Again, it comes down to the sonic quality of the musical instruments, the vocalist being an instrument and the production value.
Thank you for making me cry again, my dear friends,
Ken
I know of at least two versions of this song. I believe this is the "jazzier" version and not the original track off the album. It got a ton of air play on the radio when it was released. Mick Hucknall has such a unique and beautiful voice. Great reaction..... Take care.....
I must admit to not being the biggest Simply Red fan back in the day, but I must have mellowed. I enjoyed hearing this after a long time, and one has to marvel at Mick Hucknall's voice and phrasing. Thanks Scott!
One of the best ballads of all-time!
I love the sound of a baffled trumpet
Amazing video & song, and amazing Sean Connery impression!
You just did this video an hour ago. This is the soonest I've ever seen any video on TH-cam after it was posted. I like being in the first 360 views! Views are jumping up as I type. There's a 2018 live version of this song on TH-cam from Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome. He's in a tuxedo and has a 40 piece orchestra. It's every bit as good as the original. The audience knows all the words. It's called Simply Red - Holding Back The Years (Symphonica In Rosso). Thanks for another great video from you two. I can't believe someone hadn't heard this song until an hour ago, and I got to see them hear it.
The hard part to believe is that his live performances sound just like the studio versions of his songs. A wonderful soulful voice.
He still have this voice today mick is fantastic thanks for react to this one
You can count the number of songs Simply Red had on the charts on one hand (counting fingers) but their few hits had a big impact on our memories.
Absolutely gorgeous track
And many esteemed artists done version of
❤
Mick's voice is so expressive
STARS (1991) is by far their best (and also most successful) album - you'd love the whole record, no doubt about it. Incredibly funky, jazzy, soulful.
I'm gonna get you guys t-shirts with your opening lines, lol and in BIG letters at the bottom of Lex's t-shirt WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This song was Huge. I loved it like so many others. I remember being impressed that so many people liked it in the POP world where a slow song with a great voice usually doesn't do that well. ThX Scott, Nick and Lex 👍🎵🍁 Cheers
P.S. Maybe your back is not too bad today Alexia? Your smile sure is doing well. 🌼
You'll love them singing "Fairground"
A classic. Lots of great Simply Red songs: The Right Thing, Sad Ol' Red, A New Flame, Stars, You Make Me Believe, Fairground, Never Never Love, We're in This Together, Oh! What a Girl! The Death of the Cool, So Not Over You, Good Times have Done Me Wrong, So Many People, Something Got Me Started, Sunrise, Your Mirror. Mick Hucknall could sing the Phone Book and it would be great.
So sexy. So soulful. This song is gonna still be killer 50 years from now.
I agree. There are some songs and/or particular recordings one can just tell will never go out-of-style or out-of-date and will basically be played forever.
It never gets old it just gets better.
Nick, I wish you were my brother, we are a lot alike, we wear our emotions on our sleeves and don't care that people see our emotions, emotions show who you are as a person, great song, great group, great request, great reaction, Nick great Sean Connery impersonation.
I was 7 years old when this came out. Grew up listening to this band. My sister loved these guys. Wonderful voice! Great request Scott! Really enjoyed this!
‘For your babies’ is my favourite of theirs.
Saw him in Cornwall. Good live.
So glad you two finally discovered this great Simply Red tune! Been recommending for quite some time.
I love that you mention the noir feel as a fellow big fan of 40s and 50s dark end of the street movies. He does, indeed, have a gift with that soulful voice. Great upload.
Mick hucknall sounds as good today as he did 30+ years ago... he is an amazing artist with an amazing soulfull voice..
AWESOME SONG
Hey guys!!! Simple Red is amazing!!! You should check them live in Cuba. The best show. Thanks. Greettings from Argentina
Hey guys it worked out perfectly. I’m pleased as punch that a minor oops created such a perfect serendipitous continuity. Sometimes you just roll with it and trust the process. I’m so glad we landed on this song to help kick off the Simply Red adventure. There are lots of good suggestions in the comments for follow ups. Mic’s voice is one of a kind. ❤️❤️
The rest of us Nick and lex fans wish to thank you as well, Scott. Perfect choice.
Ken
Thanks Ken.
Hello you two. I'm glad you found Simply Red. My tip to you would be the Song "Model" from 1991. It shows the versatility of Simply Red and is a very cool Song. Have fun. Greetings from Germany
I don’t think I have heard this song since it was popular- and it was so popular it was over-played. Thanks for sharing and giving me the opportunity to hear it from a new perspective!
Thanks for being open to it!! 💕
Check out the video to this. Mick Hucknall is/was a redhead and looked like he wouldn’t have a great voice. They have many great songs, a version of Barry White’s ”It’s Only Love”, comes to mind. But this is their greatest moment, I think. Never gets old.
SIMPLY RED IS A VIBE.....
Goose bumps
great reaction guys saw SR in Wellington NZ in the early 80’s and the one thing I distinctly remember was the clarity of their sound and of course Mick Hucknalls amazing voice. These guys have a long rabbit hole much like Steely Dan if you dare to go down it. They cross a range of genres and think you would enjoy reacting to more of their material 🤩
Temazoooo!!!, de los mejores temas de los 80, cuando todavia se bailaban lento, saludos
Thank you Scott A. Wasn't a fan of Simply Red back then but tastes change. Hell, I hated brussel sprouts back then and now eat them 3x week. Wonderful song. Nick, you were right on in your comparison to Sade'. If I was to put this in a genre it would be ballad pop.
Brussel Sprouts are the best I like with butter and hot sauce.
Great song. I have been on a bit of a SR binge lately, buying the 'Stars' LP tonight via Discogs to add to the debut album 'Picture Book' and the recently bought 'Men And Women' and 'A New Flame'.....after having the "Greatest Hits" album on CD for years. Cruisy stuff!
For more of this band, start with: 'Money's Too Tight To Mention' then check out any of: 'Sad Old Red', 'Red Box', 'The Right Thing', 'It's Only Love', 'A New Flame', 'You've Got It', 'She'll Have To Go', 'Something Got Me Started', 'Thrill Me', 'Your Mirror', 'Model' (reggae-ish) and 'Fairground'.
My favourite of theirs is Money's Too Tight To Mention
Please listen to "Heaven", the cover version of Simply Red and then directly after that the original by the Talking Heads
Check them out doing this number at the Montreal Jazz Festival 2023. Sublime.
What a silky voice! 🔥
Excellent request Scott!
I love this man's voice❤So many good songs too!
blue eyed soul
STARS is a beautiful album.
While I've always loved the general vibe of the song, I only now appreciate what an amazing voice the gentleman has...as well as an amazing head of hair.
This entire album is the bomb!
I think you would be blown away by any of the live performances from the A Starry Night concert in Hamberg, Germany. Try Stars, Something Got Me Started, If You Don't Know Me By Now, and the one you just heard, Holding Back the Years. The entire band is awesome!
I hope it's one of the live shows of him singing this selection. The Live versions are longer I think. The one you want to see, and here is the live version from 1992.
LOVE MICK HUCKNALL!!! Just throw on the Picture Book album and Enjoy!!❤
I’m sure you’ll recognize more of his work and if not…you’ll love it anyway!!!😊
This song takes me back to a dark period in my life when this song came out. Mick Hucknell's vocals are outstanding. I actually. haven't listened to this song since it came out. I can handle it now . Simply Red sure came out with some great music!
🔥👍🏻👍🏻
Great song, very emotional song, another great Simply Red song, If you don't know me by now, I saw Simply Red in concert in the 80's with my then girlfriend, it was a wonderful evening, not a dry eye in the building, so much heart and soul.
This and Fair Ground are my 2 favorites
Definitely do the video.
I recall tears for Elbow's Magnificent (She Says)," so men do it, too. LOL.
Absolutely brilliant album my favourite by simply red
Another viewer suggested seeing this song live and I agree, Mick's control and range is so good, that even live, without manipulation, it's close to perfect and the extra emotion you get from live performances like the 1992 Montreux Jazz Festival shows him at the height of his prowess. Still, more recently, treat yourself to the live Symphonica in Rosso as decades of experience shows off his showmanship.
We will do it live very very soon!
Nick ,Lex déjenme decirles que esta canción la compuso el vocalista, Mick Hucknall a los 17 años inspirada en su vida, cuando fue abandonado a los 3 años por su madre quedando solo con su padre ,pues era hijo único.
De ahí la inspiración de soledad de este hermoso tema.
Te lo dice antes , la madriguera del legado musical desde los 60, 70 y hasta los 80 es infinito ,de calidad y versatilidad en todas las corrientes musicales.
Legado que nunca morirá.
Saludos desdé Santiago de Chile
First heard this song in the early 80's. Can picture it being performed only in a dark night club for some reason. Great song!
It’s from 85
Watch the video and enjoy.
Video is the single version of the song, which sounds different. Don’t like that version
Very nice groove, haven't heard this one in a long while, thanks for sharing.😊
"Money's Too Tight To Mention" and "Thrill Me" are also great songs.
Their best song, from their best album. A lot of Motown influence on Picture Book, especially on the dance numbers.
Open up the red Box 👍👍
Gran banda los Red !!!
Mick Hucknall tremendo vocalista !!!
Scott Again!
Hi guys, love the muted trumpet. Also...love you two!
Jericho is my favourite Simply Red song. From the same debut album
What a voice! Great song and as I was listening to it I thought of another unique voice. Leo Sayer 'When I need you" check that out if you get the chance. Thank You.
I admit I didn't fully appreciate this song when it came out. It was a great song, great instrumentation, and that voice! But until you've had a few years of life not playing fair, I don't think anyone really appreciates this song fully.
It's a pity you didn't watch the video at the same time as listening to the song. So deep. Try to watch it soon. The whole album has so many hits.
Deben ver la presentación en el Festival de Viña del Mar
He Sounds Exactly The Same Live.
Not sure you've been on the Simply Red train, but if not, get ready for Mick to take you down many beautiful roads. By the way, the video visualizes the pain you just viewed.
One of my faves by Simply Red is the track Stars. Mick Hucknall has solo albums which are also great!
Something got me started !
Never a fan of Simply Red but I can appreciate the musicianship and what a singer Mick Hucknell is.
Other moving performances by male singers, for me at least, are Joe Cocker “you are so beautiful”, and James Blunt “monsters”.
