I have loved this song ever since I 1st heard it yrs ago. It has a special place In my life. It's not going away.

he might be in his 70's now but, that voice is just as magnificent as it was back in the day.

Holding back the years Thinking of the fear I've had so long When somebody hears Listen to the fear that's gone Strangled by the wishes of pater Hoping for the arms of mater Get to me the sooner or later, oh Holding back the years Chance for me to escape from all I know Holding back the tears 'Cause nothing here has grown I've wasted all my tears Wasted all those years Nothing had the chance to be good Nothing ever could, yeah, oh I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on, so tight Alright, oh now Well, I've wasted all my tears Wasted all of those years And nothing had the chance to be good 'Cause nothing ever could, oh yeah Oh I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on Holding Holding Holding Holding, la-la-la, la, la-la I said, ooh, yeah That's all I have today It's all I have to say..NoWar...

This music helps me through my day, we will never every here music like this ever again in this life time Mick AKA Simply Red he has a voice that is totally Awesome he can SANG!!!! His ass off the man is just always on fire with his songs, I would love to see him in Concert, this music that’s out know, it’s just a total Mess I really feel sorry for this Generation know, because what they are listening know its definitely a hot ass mess.

Omg… brings me back a few decades , good old memories love this ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Saw Simply Red live in december 2016. I'd bought two tickets and my hubby didn't want to see him live :( So, i took another friend, whose husband had died a year previously. We had a fantastic time and his voice is astonishing! So glad I didn't miss it. And very happy Mick's found a lovely wife and has kids now. He deserves every happiness!

He is unbelievable,so much talent, voice like only can be God given ❤

He is oozing talent, always has. He's amazing. His voice feels so right. I don't know how else to say. He's just the best.

I was born in 1991 and my dad introduce to the 1980's music and then i found 60s music and ❤ love them classic music treasure 70s rock and 80s i also love the 90s and early 00s music has change not clean or drugs ,sexaul related .anymore what a shamed

I love Country Music but I love this music 🎶 so much because it’s calming.❤

One of the best singers of all time underrated

Simply Red, of the best 80's bands ever. His voice is crystal clear every song. This band is so tight and I must say one of the most impressive live versions that I have ever heard. They can Rock! But there music is just simply amazing! Love this band. Brings back days at the China Club In NY back in the 80's.

This is the type of music we will never have again . Sad. Most of the music you can’t even understand today . Love Simply Red.

I miss truthful loving men, not lying fictitious ones, this is one❤❤❤❤❤

I remember when I was young, my mom loved Dean Martin because she said he opened his mouth and without any effort the music rolled out, that is what I see with Mick. No effort, just rolls out. Luv it Mick ❤❤❤❤

Simply Red reminds me of all the good and happy times I experienced in the eighty’s….. I didn’t realize how good they were…….

The true musicians are timeless ❤️

Sung with such emotion, what a voice, what a performance ❤

My god this man was fantastic and I seen him in cardiff live fabulous mis this music x I was going through a very difficult time one this song but this keep me going xx

I watched simply red preform at the entertainment center in 1987 and then met Mick at the Melbourne Underground VIP room in 1989 Beautiful gentle guy who had the time to meet and greet us teeny boppers back then 😢

My favorite song of his Holding back the years ❤. He preformance is great 🎤🎼⭐️😍

This is one of those rare, timeless songs that reminded you of what was to come before you actually lived it. Holding back the years came out when I was around 21. Even then, at such a young age, whenever I heard that song I knew it was speaking of things I would eventually experience later on in life.

SEMPRE AMEI ESSA BANDA. SÃO DEMAIS. ❤❤❤❤

Es un privilegio haver disfrutado esta música tan especial los que vivimos en esa época, creo que somos afortunados escuchar esta voz tan hermosa

Live forever. Red..your music is a message from our emotions ..so very well done..could not ask for more except please come to New York..

Fell in love to that song❤

Spectacular performance! Bravo!!!!!

what a great blue soul! When I arrived in Australia, i heard this song often. Thank you RU-vid recommendation engine! I keep holding on ...

This is so soothing & relaxing - the kind of music we need in these extremely toxic and turbulent times …. :((

Every time I listen to this, I enjoy it. Has more meaning as time goes on.

Wow...this bossa nova rhythm was wonderful...👏👏

This has the uniquely Carribean tempo, beat, soul, just love the muffled trumpet sound. That's all I have to say....

Recuerdo ese día, fue uno de los mejores de mi vida. Privilegiada de disfrutarlo en vivo. Majestuoso concierto.

Love Simply Red they are true musicians and they are timeless❤
