  • Live performance from British band Simply Red, recorded at the Havana El Gran Teatro in Cuba in August 2005
    I first saw this concert on TV and recorded it on Video. I was so enthralled with it as I really think it is the best concert Simply Red have ever done

    I sit here listening to some music and Holding On plays. It’s such a great piece of music that I sit and play it over again and over again and again. It’s March3, 2024 and this is going strong!

    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!

    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 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.

    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...
