i always felt that this song is about a man who is so in love that he is telling his woman he wants her to give him his babies and he will do any kind of work to support her and their babies, when they have the babies if they do, they will want for nothing no matter how many hours of the day he has to work to give them what they need and more. always made me wish he was singing this song to me, then he wouldn't have sounded so melancholy. almost like there wasn't a love in his life at the time.
that's a good question twhitmire1975. he can't sing the full song yet, but he hums, and he gets the tone correctly...and like other 1yr old(s), mostly just the last part of every phrase/sentence...
At the risk of being too sentimental and ridiculed by people who shoot down everybody(trying to make them as miserable as they are), I'm glad to see such great comments. The video is so subtle, many people don't realize how AMAZING it is. When you become a parent, raise a family, watch OVER your children as they grow up, watch them as they go off on their own, get married and bring you grandchildren, this song will ALWAYS be in your mind, as will a lump in your throat and a tear in your eye.
hey mowbrey..sounds like we share the same affinity for this man's music..funny how I've just 'rediscovered' Simply Red..hadn't listened to it in a while..nice to be back..if I was a doctor..I'd be prescribing "Simply Red" for all cases of stress and anxiety..LOL..Mike from canada
I'd like to dedicate this song to the woman wo made me a father, we may not be together anymore but I'll always love you for the greatest gift I ever received or am ever going to receive. Thank You Dee!
very very nice song, I rememebr this playing on the radio, all ways loved Simply Red's music.bet those kids are pretty much grown up by now.how fast time goes by. thank you for posting blessing to every one
Beautiful, beautiful song. My boyfriend works away a lot and this song makes me think of him and helps me through the time apart. Also I work with children, so the video is beautiful too :) I love this song, and I think this shall definitely be playing at my wedding xxx
Many British singers tend to affect American accents when they sing. In fact, it's often the ones who DON'T change their accents that are easier to spot - Sophie Ellis Bextor, for instance.
i love simply red sooo much thanks for uploadin it was on itv3 last night at the sumin theatre lol but i didnt have any signal grrrr lol thanks again!
Esta música me parece una de las conmovedoras de las que he escuchado, y no solo por la letra, sino por lo sencible que se mostro el autor ante un evento tan bello que es el de ser padres, aunque tengo que aclarar que todavía no he sido madre, puedo afirmar que supo despertar mi instinto maternal y mi profunda admiración hacia Simply Red. Johanna.
Essa música marca uma época muito especial da minha vida, aminha adolescência a descoberta dos primeiros amores!!!!! OH!!!! Tempo que não volta mais!!!!!!!
My birthday party is canceled as i got tickets on perfomance the same day Simply red is in cyprus/and i got that tickets on XM party/ well won twice. Regy
what a man, what an artist, what a legend, uncontestable and the best - Mick Hucknell, hes just an angel - way too amazing to be human. gods gift to us.
I agree! Magnificent. His voice is magical and his song writing abilities are superb. I haven't heard this gem in a while and it makes me feel so peaceful and content-restores my faith humanity.
to all those who put thumb down to my comment, i don´t care, this song is perfect to the pro-life movement. save the unborn babies!

I'm rather stumped as to why they do it, though.
