Video Payday! Simply Red - Sunrise

Once again you walk up to the video payday slot machine drop in some change and pull the lever!



This time you get the unmistakable sampling of Hall and Oates (thanks Miss Jane) and the vocals of Simply Red! A mixture of the young and upcoming R & B sound of Simply Red and their more mature contemporary sound.

So Get out of Bed! The sun is up! Shake a bit and groove a little.....



"It could be Me..... It should be Me...... Forever!"





I think this song is a bit short. I'd like it to go on a bit longer.

Oh well, now you'll have to listen to me. I guess you could hit replay a few times.


Michael or Mick Hucknall, is the lead singer of Simply Red. Michael Hucknall, (born 8 June 1960) is a British singer and songwriter. He was born in Denton, Greater Manchester, as an only child. His mother left him when he was three; the upheaval caused by this event inspired him to write the song "Holding Back the Years". He was raised by his father, Reg, a barber in Stockport.

He got his start in music when he was part of the formation of the band Frantic Elevators.
The Frantic Elevators released four singles, including a version of "Holding Back The Years", which he later recorded with Simply Red.

As lead singer and core member of Simply Red, he has become the identifiable face of the band. His face, including his long curly red hair, was featured prominently on album artwork and in videos. Hucknall is also one of the founders and financial backers of the successful reggae label Blood and Fire. He also manages the record label simplyred.com.


Hucknall is active in politics and is a prominent celebrity supporter of the UK Labour Party; he is alleged to be a close friend of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Hucknall and his partner Gabriella Wesberry had a baby daughter, Romy True Hucknall, in June 2007. Hucknall also is part-owner of the Parisian restaurant-bar World Place along with Johnny Depp, John Malkovich, and Sean Penn. What a "Motley Crew" that is huh?


Sunrise - The Lyrics


As I look into your eyes I see the sunrise
The light behind your face helps me realize

Will we sleep and sometimes love until the moon shines
Maybe the next time I’ll be yours and maybe you’ll be mine

I don’t know if it’s even in your mind at all
It could be me
At this moment in time Is it in your mind at all
It should be me, it could be me Forever

Wondering through life will love come home to you
And the love you want forever, will they be true to you

Will we sleep and sometimes love until the moon shines
Maybe the next time I’ll be yours and maybe you’ll be mine

I don’t know if it’s even in your mind at all
It could be me At this moment in time Love’s indescribable
It should be me, it could be me
Forever

Easy, ready, willing, over time Where does it stop where do you dare me to draw the line You’ve got the body now you want my soul Don’t even think about it say no go

Sunrise
I don’t know if it’s even in your mind at all It could be me At this moment in time
Is it in your mind at all It should be me, it could be me

Forever Sunrise At this moment in time

Is it in your mind at all It should be me, it could be me ......... Forever

Oh, I've always been a Simply Red fan and Holding Back The Years is one of my favourite songs:) This one's pretty good too - not so sure about the video though - I think one scantily dressed lady would have been enough, especially with such sweet lyrics:)

I'm with Jane on the ONE scantily dressed lady! ha!

But, I did love the song! I'd never heard it before but now I think I'm going to add it to my iPod! Thank you! I love finding new music! :)

Jane/Chris.... Okay, I admit they covered all of the bases with the scantily clad women. They could have gone a different direction to appeal to a broader base.

But maybe I don't understand the lyrics at all. :) Thank you both for your comments. Glad you liked the song. It's fun to share.

@Intrepidideas: Well put, I really like the direction you took in commenting about someone else's comments.. If some how you end up reading this maybe you can help me out.I know I'm commenting several years later but here's a question for you; I get the lyrics, I just don't get the video? 1 women or 500, I still don't get it? And just my thought on the Beautiful "scantily dressed lady" I am all about hearing others opinions on any topic, but this one I find to be something I know a thing or 2 about: Maybe instead of calling her something negative, seeing how we attract what we think, when I see another women who is sexy and hot, I will silently bless her in my mind and say "you go girl" if your with your man Enjoy the eye candy with him, and lets be realistic, he already noticed her 10 minutes way before you did.. He's going home with you, that's all that matters!
