Simply Red - Holding Back The Years (Live In Cuba)

[@catherineduboscq1963]

Merci merci merci j ai 68 ans et tant de souvenirs sur cette musique et ce groupe que j adore🌹😴💚💖🍾🎉

[@luvzlara]

I feel very fortunate to have been a young man when this music was currently happening. Music today can’t come close to this. Todays young people are missing out.

[@catnipsmile]

You bet. Rap crap mostly or auto tuning fake stuff.

[@soniaciuffi9171]

"I' ll take care of you " .

[@langamaphumulo5009]

Damn! i don't care what your race is or what your music genre is,if you are not feeling this song...something's definitely wrong with you! This dude sings all of his songs live as good as you hear them on the radio! He's incredibly talented! i got myself his double album...heaven on earth!

[@Vasu979]

Absolutely! I've always loved this song. It evokes a feeling of nostagia to such deep extent that it makes me both happy and sad at the same time. Happy because I can reminisce about the good old days with a smile when I hung out with my pals blasting 80s songs in my car after a few drinks or thinking about my class teacher who I had a crush on. Lol. It's also sad because those days are gone now and there's no way I can go back in time to relive them, fix those little mistakes, experience first love once again.

Yes if only Dublin Ireland October 6Th was my flight ticket in my hands? Premium Club Arena front D row!!!!!!

[@johnbrain2093]

Well said sir! I have seen him twice and would have been three except for covid. My new partner saw him with me and was blown away. He is amazing live. Please keep on keeping on Mick.

[@langamaphumulo5009]

@@johnbrain2093 Man i haven't been to any of his live shows,i hope to see him some day.

[@langamaphumulo5009]

@@Vasu979 I think you have stolen my sentiments about music in general! This is exactly how i feel when i listen to some songs,i wasn't that grown in the 80s but the 90s,early and mid 2000s are my 80s! I also had a crush on my biology teacher in school,she was the prettiest teacher i had ever seen! When she taught in class I'd stare at her and fantasize about kissing her!😀😃😀I didn't do well in biology at all! And i hated the teacher she was seeing,he was a drunkard and i have no idea what she saw in him!,I heard they got married later on and had kids! What a bummer!!😀😃Anyway..music is amazing! I have no specific genre,i listen to everything and can go back in time as far as the music itself takes me.

[@TBBrickYT]

Holding Back the Years with an Afro-Cuban groove. My, my, my, that is gaROOOOOOOOOvy!!!

His voice is the same as it was in 1985 ...clear, soulful, and pure 💞

What a beautiful violinist at 1:26 and the back up singers are such beautiful women! Let’s give these wonderful musicians and back up singers their due.

My late wife and I used to dance to this when we first met. We fell in love to simply red. Now this song is holding back the tears. Miss you babe.

[@corneliavanbatum9896]

At what age he is allways the same. Quality 100%❤👍

[@langamaphumulo5009]

He was in Cuba here! Man i thought it was just me! Music crosses all barriers including language,i have an album by this Cuban musical group(Beuna Vista Social Club) and the song that does it for me is Chan Chan,and as much as i have no idea what the meaning of the lyrics is because of the language barrier,the song brings me to tears,the vocal and rhythm arrangements are out of this world!

[@a.j.k.jameson9259]

Now that's what you call a top notch singing voice! This man has a fantastic vocal range! He can roar like a bear, Then come down from there, and be soft , sweet, angelical

[@shanebush2751]

After all these years, his delivery is still flawless.

[@flamingostringfellow5399]

I’ve loved this song since it was first released in 1986. It still gets to me after all those years. “I’ll keep holding on”. Hold on Red, hold on my ginger brother.

[@4Gentry4]

Nothing and I mean Nothing, is better than live music!

[@dqppc]

He has a voice that can never be replaced. Such a great voice. I hope he can hold on to this voice

[@Jj-ty7qh]

This is the best version of this song I’ve ever heard, along with Etta’s. The Cuban boss nova mix is Simply beautiful

[@mrsrevolution99]

Mick's voice travels so deep into peoples soul.... well at least mine! What a true classy performer, singer, musician and songwriter!

[@robertocontreras9143]

What a masterpiece of a song the arrangement suiting the atmosphere in a beautiful combination with the Cuban rhythms arranged perfectly.

[@marceloribeirosimoes8959]

By far, one of the 20 best bands + singer groups EVER... They "glue" like not many others... Holding Back The Years in a Cuban style was so cool... ...what a kindness...

[@landyachtfan79]

Mick Hucknall has such a beautiful voice AND he shares my birthday (June 8th)!!!!! This will always be a very special song to me. Whenever I hear it, I am immediately transported back in time to the summer of 1986 & my mom dropping me off for summer camp early in the morning in our 1985 Dodge Colt Vista with condensation/dew wearing off of the open windows & the exhaust still emitting that rich "cold start" odor.
