The Air That I BreatheSimply Red

Songwriter: Albert Hammond Mike Hazlewood

Producer: Andy Wright Gota Yashiki Mick Hucknall

If I could make a wish I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Can't think of anything I need

All I need to think of you
Is the air that I breathe
My heart belongs to you
All I need to love you
Is the air that I breathe
I'm just living to love you

All I need to think of you
Is the air that I breathe
My heart belongs to you
All I need to love you
Is the air that I breathe
I'm just living to love you

Peace came upon me and it breathes in me
Don't sleep silent angel don't you sleep

All I do is think about you
Girl I just can't live without you
You know, I love you
All I do is think about you
Girl I just can't live without you
You know, I love you

All I need to think of you
Is the air that I breathe
My heart belongs to you
All I need to love you
Is the air that I breathe
I'm just living to love you

Simply Red

Simply Red is a British soul and pop band. The first incarnation of the band was a punk group called The Frantic Elevators, whose seven-year run produced limited releases on local labels and ended in 1984 upon critical acclaim for their final single, “Holding Back the Years”.

By early 1985, Mick Hucknall and manager Elliot Rashman had assembled a band of local session musicians and begun to attract record company attention. The group adopted the name “Red” (after Hucknall’s nickname, denoting his hair colour) but then Mick decided it would sound better with the addition of the word ‘Simply.’

Since the mid 1980s, the band has sold more than 50 million albums.
