Biography

British soul and pop band which formed in Manchester in 1984 by lead vocalist (and songwriter) Mick "Red" Hucknall with three former members of the band [a=The Durutti Column] - bassist Tony Bowers, drummer Chris Joyce, and keyboardist/brass player Tim Kellett - plus guitarist Sylvan Richardson and keyboardist Fritz McIntyre. The band signed to [l=Elektra] Records and released their debut album "Picture Book" in October 1985. The band line up changed over the years. By 1996, after their fifth album "Life", Mick Hucknall was the only remaining original member, and the name Simply Red had become a trademark for him. After being dropped by their label [l=EastWest] in 2000, they established a website simplyred.com which also became their own label and released the album "Home" in 2003 and all subsequent releases under it. Hucknall retired the name Simply Red after a farewell tour in 2010, but reunited in 2015 for a tour that marked the 30th anniversary of the band, and released the album "Big Love". Their biggest hits are "Money's Too Tight (To Mention)", "Holding Back The Years" (1985), "The Right Thing" (1987), "It's Only Love", "If You Don't Know Me By Now" (1989), "Something Got Me Started", "Stars" (1991), "Fairground" (1995) and "Sunrise" (2003).

LYRICS

Lives and loves, don't tell me about it
To respond to something permanent, you've got to be strong
Mmm... lives and loves
Only you know in your heart how the pain felt
How the love made you melt, me and you love
We have a way that seems to brighten up the day
We have our problems
Is the whole world asking is it worth it ?
All the lovers in the world should they go on ?
After all, they say you only live once

Lives and loves, only you know your heart
How the pain felt, how the love made you melt
Me and you love
That seems to brighten up the day
We have our problems
Is the whole world asking is it worth it ?
All the lovers in the world should they go on ?
On and on and on

Ooohhh, lives and loves, don't tell me about it
Someone always gets hurt in it, you've got to be strong
Hey... lives and loves
Only we know in our hearts how the pain felt
Oh your love made me melt, me and you love
We had a way to brighten up the day
We had our problems
Is the whole world asking is it worth it ?
All the lovers in the world should they go on ?
After all, they say you only live once
