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

We were the ones who weren't afraid
We were the broken hearted
We were the scars that wouldn't fade away
How did we let go
how did we forget that we don't have to hide
We won't believe the lies again
We won't be paralyzed

We can be who we are
Now we are alive
We can fight they cannot contain us
It's who we are
We are undying
We are forever

We won't hide our faces from the light
Eliminate the space between us
It's who we are
We are forever
It's who we are

We were the tears that passion cried
We were the sacrifice
We were the flame that wouldn't die inside
How did we go wrong
We will not forget
We will not be left behind
We won't give up the fight again
We won't be denied

We can be who we are
Now we are alive
We can fight they cannot contain us
It's who we are
We are undying
We are forever

We won't hide our faces from the light
Eliminate the space between us
It's who we are
We are forever
It's who we are

We will never die
We will never die
We will not deny
Now we are alive

We can be who we are
Now we are alive
We can fight they cannot contain us
It's who we are
We are undying
We are forever

We won't hide our faces from the light
Eliminate the space between us
It's who we are
We are forever
It's who we are
