Simply Red - The Air That I Breathe

[robotgrass]

not bad,

but surly their horn section could have improvised something to replace the orchestral interlude from the original?

[Harmonlisa]

Very nice and I am not really a fan of theirs.

[mjcamck]

Excellent cover version. I will always like the Hollies rendition best. However, of all those who've tried to do this song justice, Simply Red triumphs! Peace,All.

[yellowrose2612]

@stargroove4. AGREED!!! I hated this version. No-ones rendition beats the Hollies IMHO...

[Tarten46]

we gingers will rule the world again.

[dcvizsla]

Fantastico!

[phockenphreezen]

brilliant cover version ! gives a whole new side to a great song...compliments all round !

[TheSilvio217]

Several singers and bands re-record this song, but nobody can match with the original version (The Hollies)

[GoldenEyedCat]

A great cover of the original Hollies song. Love it!!

[chabeworks]

outstanding--the rendition is their own and its very good.

[MrBignick128]

Who was that band composed of!

[MrBignick128]

being a retired muscian that spent 23 years doing it. The music on this video is totally emence great!!

[baesa1986]

wow..nice rendition....10+

[MrBignick128]

I wish to god, that my band would have sounded that GOOD.

[ivone294]

[SONOFAOTEAROA]

[ppsanjsn]

[mairinah]

A primrira vez que vi este cantor foi no programa do Jô Soares. Foi ficar fâ a primeira vista. Voz linda e muito carismático!!!

[aAdxi]

Anyone know where and when this was recorded?

[aAdxi]

THE BEST version of this song. (period)!

[ritteellyton]

Woop Woop it rocks the shoes of my feet :))

[jewelgazer]

While I respect these different opinions, I quite like how he approached this remake!

[1Gsxrider]

original was way better and what happened to those guitar riffs ? at 1.59 ... thats part of what made that song

[tickyreal]

GREAT VERSION ..

BUT THE " PHIL EVERLY " RECORDING IS STILL MY FAVORITE !!

ERIK TIELMAN, FLORIDADADAAA

[ppsanjsn]

esta musica e bonita de qualquer jeito ou com o the hollies ou com o simply redddddddddd

[stargroove4]

He skipped out on lyrics and tamed this song into a nigger remix.

Abomination.

[focusalas]

fantastic cover thanks for posting

[hookuspookus529]

he looks like chucky

[DERedhead65]

what a SEXY SEXY man Mick Hucknall is... DAMN!

[1gscorpioau]

this is a fantastc cover of the old song . classic

[bushbaby001]

Thank you Vanessa!

[allwest4km]

Why do I find it my personal song? It's so well-written that I get jealous! Lyrics and music, and this performance has to be the best cover, I agree!

[ianvlokewurth]

This is a cover of an old 1972 HOLLIES song.....which is where RADIOHEAD got the song CREEP from....York just changed the lyrics..... I heard The Hollies are getting money from the song writing credit of radiohead's creep so thats good.

[axness]

this is where i am today

[LainbyGermany]

A idade chegou para o Mick ...

era tao gato ...agora ta com cara de velho ...umas plásticas resolveriam rsrs

mas adoro sua voz sua musica tuuudo

[swacbro]

Mick Hucknall is an awesome vocalist...from the 1st time I heard him on MTV (back when they played music) I knew he was one of THOSE singers...check out all his recordings; you won't be disappointed

[brack530]

best  cover ever!!!

[brack530]

best cover ever!!!

[stateofbeth]

Why the hell can't they hold the long note in the song: "All I need is the air that i breeeeeeeeeeaaatttthhhhheeee."

How annoying. That's just laziness because its not that hard to hold that note. And with back-up singers? Come on!

All very skilled singers and they didn't bother to pull off the heart of the song. Someone relay this to Simply Red dude.

[alienhuman]

well beth, it's called musical interpretation. just because one version is arranged that way does not mean that is the only way to play and sing it.

[sguiulfo1]

Very sweet music, good cover and performance!

[berinjelavoadora]

Eu não sei porque, mas toda a vez que eu vejo o clipe original dessa música caio num choro que não tem jeito. Amo essa música, já amava com os hollies. Talvez seja a declaração mais linda de amor do mundo.

[cherrymama1000]

Gret as always Mick is at his best i love him so much never can't get enough of his music just is fantastic

[lolomex1976]

Luis te quiero mucho! esta canción es para ti.

[WWECW1990]

great performance, and I remember hearing Simply Red's cover on the radio as a kid and this brings me back. Great song, great cover, and Mick's voice is awesome.

[Waldo99]

Agreed, this cover as well as the Hollies cover are both great. For a real treat, check out the original recording of this song by Phil Everly, produced by Warren Zevon. It can be found on YouTube also.

[onemikehart]

@Waldo99

The original version of this is found on the CD of "It never Rains In Southern Cailifornia" by Albert Hammond...the writer of the song. It was heard by Duane Eddy and he had Phil Everly record the song for his solo project called "Star Spangled Springer" on RCA Records. The Everly version was produced by Duane Eddy. Duane, wanted to release the song as a single. Phil and RCA picked another song instead.

A year later...The Hollies heard the Everly version and recorded it that night.

[ksklaiber]

One line of this song remembers a great night and a great girl: ""So sleep, silent Angel"

[Angyal74]

[dartanion619]

Take a deep breath

2. Think about the one you love

3. Press ''F10'' 5 time

[veggie74]

This song is beautiful:) It is one of the songs that makes me think of my husband, he's all I want:)

[Smarthippie]

[Preekcrap2]

This is Mick at his very best. Great stuff

[focusalas]

[donadthegonad]

why do fuckheads say "oh, I don't like it..."

"the Hollies are better" it's a great cover of a great song you fuckin' lunkheads!! Check out the studio track with Sly and Robbie and tell me it is worse than the original

[Sugarbehr1967]

This is a great remake of the classic by The Hollies..Mick Hucknall made 'You Make Me Feel Brand New' stunning..

[tigerlilyrock]

I never knew Simply Red did a version of this song. Certainly is different but not bad at all. Mick Hucknall is a great singer and this version is very soulful. Thanks for the post, I really like it!

[whiteybird]

Simply Brilliant...

[sup3rt3d]

Allan Clarke smashes Mick Hucknall

[taratova]

Nice soul vibe on the song. Mick I love you!!

[rdal]

Es la raja este tema...

[WANSSB]

[munari49]

realmemte linda..a original é dos Hollies

[2481p1]

J'adore cette cstte chanson surtout chanté par Symple Red

[ghrpdx]

This is a nice arrangement ... kind of puts a bridge between The Hollies' version and Radiohead's Creep.

[Dovebyrd]

I had no clue Simply Red redid this song. What a reat version. Thanx for posting!

[luvut]

Great post. Thanks.
