the singer Mick Hucknall AKA Simply Red from manchester UK, wrote this song when he was a teenager. the song was about his childhood . growing up in poverty, and his mother leaving him when he was three, and a father that showed little if any affection. he is leaving the house he grew up in and never coming back , a house where nothing any good happened. he is holding back the memories of the all the bad times , and holding on to what he has and moving forward.
When this song came out, I was young and angry... Heard it many, many times, but it wasn't where I was. I'm so grateful for reactions like this, where I too get to discover the song again, and just how incredible it is, brought to tears every time... I guess it hits even harder decades after the fact
When this song was released back in 1985 off the picture book album, I remember this cool song becoming an instant hit back in 85. Mick Hucknall from Manchester, England, was the original co- writer and singer of this song. My girl Angie Stone was the artist who sung her version of Holding Back The Years on the movie Love & Basketball.
The man landed a number 1 in the US charts with this track shortly after its release! As a white man in a genre that is usually only reserved for black people! In my opinion, that had never happened before, and never again after him! That makes this song absolutely unique! And the man sings this number with the same intensity, frame by frame, even after almost 38 years! He has long since created a monument for himself for eternity! 🎤🎶😊👌
2 words into the song and the smile is there. I had a feeling you knew this song, but not the title, it is played a lot of different places as well as on the radio even till now. It's a great song, soulful, jazzy and smooth.
Thank you! Please keep reacting to Simply Red. All their songs are as special as Mick Hucknall is. You won't be disappointed. Mick is a composer and lyrics writer of most of his songs. He is a great dancer too with an amazing cheerful energy. ❤✌
As someone stated below; Simply Red did a cover of Teddy Pendergrass' "If You Don't Know Me By Now".. He did a very good job with the song.. I love Simply Red.. ♠W.G.
Quay I saw Simply Red in their fairwell tour in Glasgow SSE Arena in 2012. Simply Red, simply brilliant. Mick's live singing is no different from the studio. This Manchester band simply are the best live band ever.
this guy was years ahead of his time, he looks in his early 20's, but the words he speaks sound like it's from a 80 yr old man, telling about his past. great song, great vid! 😎
So refreshing to hear such possible and nice things about a classic song from such a beautiful lady :) keep up the good work and ps...your hair is amazing :)
All I known is the guy is British and although he is a super singer, this song used to play nonstop on the UK radio, which made it lose some of its initial drive. But it is heartening to me to see you enthuse about it so brightly. Btw, if you don't already know, Simply Red is so called for the singer's hair explosion. *I want to skip across here briefly to two other videos you reviewed. My comments were blocked, so here's a summary from memory. Lil Baby''s Narrow Road is one powerful piece of music. More to the point, your extended reaction made great distinctions about how the followed and followers relate to each other. Everybody in rap should see this thoughtful meditation. Also, I watched Tupac (what I call him still sometimes) in I Get Around. Yeah, this video showed his other side or one of them. What I moticed is he is always on the move and outdoors, mostly. No boring kitchen, sofa, doors or anything to hold him back. And yes, women do love him! * Finally, will check out you and your boyfriend in the other channel..
I heard that Angie Stone sung this song in "Love & Basketball." So maybe it's not so strange to be confused when Mick Hucknall turns out to be the originator of the song. He wrote it at 17.
Aaaw, you are so sweet! I loved your reaction and how you connected to the song from your favorite movie. You are a great reactor to videos and I just subscribed. Keep up the phenomenal job young, beautiful lady! 👊🏼💯🔥
Dude check him out on YT interviews!🥰💖 Gets his inspiration from Motown Jazz Soul-sings from the bottom of his Heart & Soul! That song is about his mom leaving him & his dad when Mick was 3 years old. Devastated him. but he never gave up. Check him out: 'Angel' with Quincy Jones (or separately)', his concert vids from 90s to the present. 'Drowning in my own Tears' 'Grandma's Hands'. Loved your expression when he got to the best part 💞 IMO - THE MOST PHENOMENAL VOICE ON THE PLANET!!! He's also known as the Blue Eyed Soul Singer. YES- you don't want the song to end - THAT VOICE!!! 💘💟💖
youll definitely learn the meaning of that song as u get older girl.....so now concentrate on making good memories of your youth so when u hear this again in 10 to 20 years youd be more enlightened as to its meaning
The story in the video is he was in an abusive home as a kid. He is just now leaving the town as an adult, probably because he kept holding on the memory of his hard childhood. The lady is his teacher that he remember seeing with his father or somebody she shouldn't have been caught with.

I simply wish I did or can.
I love these young People are doing these reactions to old school, quality music. Little sister has a beautiful spirit about her.
Amen
She is also very beautiful!

Great lyrics and a great voice to deliver them, and that is all it takes to touch people.This is a song that will stand the test of time.
2 words into the song and the smile is there. I had a feeling you knew this song, but not the title, it is played a lot of different places as well as on the radio even till now. It's a great song, soulful, jazzy and smooth.
I also love Stars, and Do The Right Thing by the same band. Beautiful.

This is my favourite Simply Red song.

I know the feeling Quay.., thanks for reviewing and commenting. I think its still my favorite song to cover
What a legend Simpley Red🔥
FYI. The video was filmed in Whitby, Nth Yorkshire, East coast of England. Whitby is also associated with Captain James Cook & Dracula.
Since you liked that one. You need to react to 'If You Don't Know Me By Now'
It is Mick's very good cover of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes featuring
the late & great Teddy Pendergrass.. ♠W.G.
So refreshing to hear such possible and nice things about a classic song from such a beautiful lady :) keep up the good work and ps...your hair is amazing :)

This is a Devestating and Beautiful Song.

One of my all time favorite singers he has some great songs try Stars,Never Lover, Lives & Love, Night Nurse, Picture Book, to name a couple
Simply Red never had a bad song. Play more of his!!!
Blue eyed soul.

She actually did good as well but nothing is better than the original.
Aaaw, you are so sweet! I loved your reaction and how you connected to the song from your favorite movie.

This song is about him mom she left when he was a baby he was raised by his dad.
Im just like you, when ever I am in a store, and I hear a song I like I go home and look it up. Keep up the good job your doing. Take care sweetie.
Thank you, you take care as well❤️
Holding Back the Years was his second big hit. His first hit was Money's Yoo Tight To Mention and certainly reactionworthy
