All eyes were closed, nobody knows
How the world wasn't able to see that they were
Washed-up failures
My eyes are open, my love is strong
I am here to stay and it will always be that way

We're in this together
We're in this together
Forever
Together

My line is long, my soul it rolls
Somewhere on the train of universal feeling
My eyes are open, just like the ocean
From the people in need to the sun and the seas

We're in this together
We're in this together
Forever
Together
Forever

We're in this together
We're in this together
Forever
Together
Forever
Together

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.
