Holding Back The Years

This is probably one of the best ballads ever written during that period of excess. The music video was filmed in the English Coastal town of Whitby while the band members play the role of the local cricket team who sees Hucknall off on his journey.

It also seemed more fun as with most videos in the eighties. http://www.bubblews.com/news/798469-the-retroscope-12-july
