    Lyrics
    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
    I'll keep holding on
    I'll keep holding on
    Holding back the years
    Chance for me to escape from all I've known
    Holding back the tears
    Cause nothing here has grown
    I've wasted all my tears
    Wasted all those years
    And 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
    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
    That's all I have today
    It's all I have to say

      *Update - My case was closed March 9 everybody. Im officially off of probation. Was a good thing actually. Made me realize I cant wild' out in public and how and when to show restraint.. Also haven't smoked pot in almost 11 months so it feels good giving up that unproductive vice of mine. Also realized tequila was the reason I got in trouble in the first place.. So, gave that up too..✌

      To be honest I'm not a big Simply Red fan - I just haven't listened to all that much stuff and never owned an album - but like most of us who were around in the 80s/90s in the UK it's part of the scenery. For whatever reason I had this song in my head today and so I've gone on youtube to listen to it.. and I came across this. Wow! I might have passed up the next time I could have seen Mick Hucknall performing because he's been off the radar for so long - but having heard this, I'm surprised in the good way - he was always an incredible singer and it sounds like he's one of the few who hasn't lost the magic stuff over these past decades.

    You know when you see a video of a singer doing a song they first recorded 35 years ago and they struggle to hit the high notes because their voice is worn with age?
    THIS AIN'T ONE OF THOSE VIDEOS!
    33 years on and Mick hasn't lost even the slightest bit of vocal range. His voice is still as pure and unique as ever. Truly one of the greatest voices of our time.

      Not to say they could have not done better, but they were huge for around 10 years in Europe and South America. You could not open a radio for 2 hours without hearing their song and they could sell any stadium or festival at that time period. Neither did their popularity ever crash like some other pop acts after their peak.

    Mick Hunall is one of the few singers from the 80s who still maintains his voice as clear, and perhaps better, than before in the 21st century, when the true vocalists with great musical bands have disappeared and we have to remember and live on the dreams of the golden years

      Truth. This performance was amazing. Just as good as the first time he sang it. That's so rare. Vocalists dont get to keep the gift forever. David lee Roth, John Bon Jovi even Whitney Houston before she passed. The gift was either leaving them or lost completely. This was just pure. I wasn't particularly a fan of Mick Hucknal before seeing this. I am now.

      If you're not familiar with his work, he's more of a singer/songwriter. When I watch him perform you can just tell he's just happy to be there.
      His voice is fantastic! Live performances sound exactly like the studio recording.
