His mother abandoned him at the age of 3 and the song is about his hope she might return to develop a relationship with him, sadly she never did. The video was filmed in Whitby, with the Abbey as the backdrop.

@lizmarch4000 Год назад

I never knew that. Changes the whole song for me.

@charlieh3998 Год назад

Heard this song 100 times but never knew that is what it was about. Very sad.

@willieboy3011 Год назад

Good information.

@Littlebigbot Год назад

That's trauma of the worst kind.

@Isleofskye Год назад

I never realized that. Whitby in North Yorkshire.

Hucknall wrote this song in his bedroom at his father's house when he was 17. The inspiration for the song came from a teacher at the Manchester School of Art, where Hucknall studied fine art. The instructor suggested that the best paintings are created when the artist is in a state of unconscious creation, and Hucknall attempted to use this approach in his songwriting. One of my favourite songs ever ❤

@JAY61ish 7 месяцев назад

Apparently he went to the Famous Sex Pistols gig in Manchester. with all the other folk that later started bands... Mick obviously started a band but another direction to most of the others that went

His mother left the marriage for another man… his father took to drink and wasn’t a good father to him. Mick is still singing today and still sounds the same if not better 👍🏻😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

He has been filling stadiums for decades.

@patriciaewing8164 11 месяцев назад

He wrote the song when he was 17 when he finally left home. Such a brilliant song for someone so young 👍🏻😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@dalewyatt1321 Год назад

The angst Mick can display with his voice is magic. I suppose singing a song you wrote about the disfunction in your early years helps.

@janicetrimmell6897 Год назад

Mick's voice is unbelievable. I feel the 80's soul, and I love it. Please consider "If You Don't Know Me By Now." So much soul.

@robinlabouche2230 Год назад

Mick has such a great voice, you need to listen to him live !!!!!

@vickicederquist250 4 месяца назад

Best voice ever.....

@emperZD Год назад

young lady, it's nice to see how you recognized the emotion in his voice and the lyrics of the song.. Mom is a little reserved..

@raycewilliams3300 Год назад

Mick Hucknell wrote this song at the age of 17. From what I have gathered he was abandoned by his mother so I suppose there is a degree of truth in some of the lyrics. He did a "jazzy" version of this song many years later that I like even more than this version. He has a tremendous voice and a range that is really something. He is one of those singers that can make you smile or bring you to tears..... sometimes in the same song.

@thomaswhite7783 Год назад

The version of this with the extended intro is incredible.

@stephenhanft1226 Год назад

"Holding Back The Years" went to #1 on the pop charts in 1986. Powerful vocals and lyrics. It's a sad song reminiscing about his childhood.

@TheCornishCockney Год назад

He’s from Manchester,England. Hell of a voice huh?

@jeffharry9675 Год назад

His mother left him when he was four. He wrote this song about his pain when he was 14.

@willaimrobinson9383 3 месяца назад

I think what you might be trying to describe is a "soulfulness" in his voice. It`s the difference between singing the notes on the page and deeply feeling the song in a heartfelt way.

@donniedale3522 7 месяцев назад

Another side of this is, I as a parent had a son, that I loved very much. I remember the first time I heard this song, me, him, and his sister were in a truck, driving down the interstate. I remember looking at them and thinking, I had the whole world right there with me at that moment. He grew up and my son and I worked together. At age 43, I found him in one of my buildings on a Saturday morning. There is nothing on this earth, that I know how to describe what goes through you at that moment. This song has a very special meaning for me, it always takes me back to that special moment in time. We are there together forever.

@jaimecontreras6752 10 месяцев назад

This song and his singing give me goosebumps.

@PeterDay81 Год назад

He did a great cover of if you don't know me by now.

@sabbracadabra7503 Год назад

And a great cover of "The Air That I Breathe" by the Hollies.

@letitbesummer6536 Год назад

Not only did his mother abandon him, he had a tough time growing up with his dad too. He met his mother many years late when she faked cancer! She said in an interview she didn’t regret leaving him behind at all. What a B

I would give her a c.

@davidbarnes1113 Год назад

One of the greatest songs ever in my opinion. Been loving it over 30 years. You should also try his version of the R&B hit “If You Don’t Know Me By Now”.

Great reaction ladies! Loved Simply Red back in the 80s. He had such an amazing voice. I saw a youtube video where he looked much older (maybe 50 years old?) and his voice still sounded amazing.

@lfcgero35 Год назад

He sings this even better live even now he is a lot older. Mick never lost his voice or soul.

Video filmed in Whitby, North Yorkshire, UK. Train also filmed in North Yorkshire. Mick Hucknall, the singer wrote this song when he was a teenager. His mother left when he was 3 years old.

@francesthompson593 Год назад

The Harbour pictures are of Whitby North Yorkshire England. The inspiration for Dracula. This is a brilliant group Mick Hucknall the Singer is from Manchester England. The Band released some fantastic songs!

This song is a beautiful hymn to survival.

@walshaw2 Год назад

The Lyrics "Strangled by the wishes of Pater" refers to his father and "Hoping for the arms of Mater" refers to his mother who left him with his father when Mick was only 3 years old....He named his band "Simply Red" after his hair color, his politics and his favorite soccer team Manchester United, which is from the city where he was born.

@willieboy3011 Год назад

Such a powerful voice. You both picked up on the meaning early. Good job.

Hi ladies, another Gem of a song from my teenage years 😊. I love the flashbacks that your channel allows me. Thanks for your reactions 🥰.

@Eric_L_Laney Год назад

He really does have an incredible voice. It could be that the lyrics were referring to something hoped for that never happened.

@larrywaters6127 Год назад

He is an amazing vocalist and still putting out music. A new album is coming out around now.

@mjjones8216 Год назад

What a great pairing of this mother and daughter reaction team they do come across as very likable and natural .this was actually the best reaction I’ve seen on this particular song so well done ladies 👍🏻. its hard to believe that mick hucknall the singer is an old man now . but as they say Time flys and there’s no holding back the years for any of us sadly !! 👋🏻🇬🇧

@chriswaddington6229 Год назад

This was filmed in Whitby, one of my favourite places in the world and home of the most famous vampire of all, Dracula.

@letitbesummer6536 Год назад

I think what he meant by holding on is in he’s holding on, waiting for things to get better. Because I interpret holding back the years as in he’s trying to hold back all the pain of what happened and he keeps trying to hold onto living now cause things haunted him. At least that was my interpretation PS It was Ireland.

@MoiraCoffin-ol2gc Год назад

A beautiful voice, if you see the live versions there is no difference between this and live. I saw Mick Hucknall on telly being interviewed at a football (soccer) match with his favourite football team, Manchester United and the guy was so knowledgeable of the game, he really could become a football pundit. Keep up the good work ladies x

@noelgray61 Год назад

Mick Hucknal was one of those voices that only comes along every decade or so if you really want to hear how good he really is you should listen to the full album that this track comes from , the album is called RED BOOK absolutely brilliant

@kylekerwin4993 Месяц назад

This song can evoke emotional pain and suffering within if you let it. This song is still the masterpiece it was then as it is today and all is still relevant.

@markharris1125 Год назад

I saw Simply Red in concert last year. Great concert, just hit after hit after hit. In the crowd coming out of the O2 afterwards someone was moaning (someone's always complaining: you could give them a million pounds and they'd ask for two): "He's put on some weight, hasn't he?" Well, maybe he has but after all it was 37 years since Picture Book. The voice was still fantastic. My favourite song has always been 'Money's Too Tight To Mention', which was on the same album but is very different. The version he sings now is toned down (references to Reaganomics probably go over people's heads these days) but the original is vicious - and still rings true today. 'Did the earth move for you, Nancy?'

@der-grapevine Год назад

Much more unbelievable is, the voice is live the same.

@neckapb Год назад

Mick Hucknall has the voice - and the phrasing on the lyrics - that is hard to resist. I was the fan the very first time I heard it and that was decades ago... Great pick, ladies, one of their best songs but you might want to look out for more - say, The Right Thing, A New Flame, If You Don't Know Me by Now etc )

Whitby is also famous for its Dracula connection. It is where Dracula bounded off a shipwreck in the form of a dog and bounded up the 199 steps to St Mary’s church. Mick Hucknall is seen walking up the steps in the video.

I saw Simply Red at The Wiltern in LA in the early 80s and they were fantastic!! Great reaction ladies! ❤️❤️

@deborahh2556 11 месяцев назад

I can think back over the years and remember a lot of songs that I liked, yet only a handful or so of artists that I thought were so exceptional that were "next level". In order: The Bee Gees (too many songs to mention), Simply Red, (Holding Back the Years), Tears for Fears and several of their 80's songs, Phil Collins (In the Air Tonight), Boston (More Than a Feeling), Art Garfunkel (I Only Have Eyes For You). Those are top for me. Other artists, as I said, had great songs too...but those songs will forever stand out as the most special.

@eurekayess Год назад

Love your music and both your reactions. Not often do I scroll down Creators' videos. Keep them coming! Btw, the best ballad is Time In A Bottle, by Jim Croce. I'm sure many would agree.

I know so many friwn on reaction videos but atleast for me watching these I have discovered so much more music. I never listened to 60's 70's before but nowadays The only "new" music I listen to is going back in time. Sure I listen to modern but it's more like 50/50. A new band discovered each week!

its about his childhood upbringing in manchester uk. he wrote this song a young lad in his bedroom about his struggles and hardship . then he released it in 1985 . amazing singer amazing voice soul and clarity

@crhu319 Год назад

First and proud to be, as this is one of GenX's most treasured songs, and as an elder GenX we won't let it die. Mick Hucknall today still delivers this song just as beautifully, fading the decades away.

@keving9157 Год назад

It's a tough song to listen to. I think it's a song about missed opportunities, or things we could, or should have done in our lives. But the main thing is, we can't hold back the years. If anything they just go faster and faster. That's the chilling thing, for me at least.

@christopherrobertson8098 Год назад

A teacher once told him he'd either end up in prison or famous. Mick decided that it would be the latter. And told the teacher one had make him eat those words. And when simply red won there first brit award the teacher was watching and nearly passed out from shock at home when he realised that the lead singer of the group had just seen winning was his ex student mick

It's not that important but as a former trumpet player, the trumpet in the video was NOT the one from the recording. The one in the recording had a mute in it which gives it that kinda kazoo sound but the trumpet in the video didn't have a mute in it.

I can relate, being a military brat, always moving and with my Dad constantly on TDY somewhere (Temp. Duty), and mom busy raising 4 kids, when with all honesty could barely raise two, I being the oldest spent much of my youth trying to be an Adult, for example (1 of many), cleaning up after sick siblings when I was only a little older, and sometimes ill, myself. I wasn't neglected on purpose, it just kind of happened.

@Sherman1fan Год назад

Trumpet in the song is playing with a mute on but in the video it is not muted at all. Trumpet play might have been really playing (in the video) but that was not what was used for the recording. Also his fingers did not match to the notes being played. (just FYI. There are a lot of music videos of dancers or whomever are supposed to be playing an instrument but have no clue. bugs real musicians to see it).
