    hey Mick, Pete, the band…was think­ing today that I’m worth SOMETHING after all…everybody’s worth something…it’s so sad that there are so many things in the world that aren’t the way they should be…and that people get treated badly for some­times decades.…but I guess if you look at Jesus things didn’t exactly go so well for him on earth, but he didn’t give up…even from the cross he wasn’t bit­ter, but said “Father for­give them, for they know not what they do”.…that’s TRYING…that’s NOT giv­ing up on love…I love your music because it helps me to believe in things like that, and I think that it’s things like love and mercy and for­give­ness that make the world go round, and your music helps me quite a bit to keep believ­ing that…love you for that…

  2. fan of simply red says:

    hey Mick…Pete… the band…went to church today and although it wasn’t per­fect, still, found some peace there…listened to your music yes­ter­day and found some peace there as well…that’s what makes me think you must have some­thing sort of spir­itual going on in it, as ridicules as that sounds…cause your music brings to my soul peace, joy, thoughts of for­giv­ing, faith, hope and love…and all that has it’s source from God and only God.…

    hey Mick…Pete…the band…it’s a beau­ti­ful Sunday, if you like cooler sum­mer weather, and I do!…the land has got­ten so much rain this sum­mer, maybe not so much in July and August, but def­in­itely in May and June,and the grass and tress and other veget­a­tion is quite lush…must say that your release of “beside you” on the “songs of love” album is just what the doc­tor ordered, at least in my case…I think that song ranks up there with “hold­ing back the years” in my estimation…also, was think­ing again about the lyr­ics of “open up the red box” where it says, “SOMETHING good MUST have happened to you”…I love that sentiment…it’s so helpful

  4. fan of simply red says:

    hey Mick…Pete…the band…went out with a couple, the wife of which is related to me, and we had a meal today…the col­ors that remain in my mind from the sum­mer weather where I live so far are green and gray-blue…green for the grass and tree leaves that have got­ten record amounts of rain­fall this sum­mer, and gray-blue for the sky which has been over­cast so many days this summer…went to con­fes­sion the other day…listened to your music today as well…what a treat, Mick and the rest…I would have to say in all hon­esty, that your music, coupled with prayer, the Euchar­ist, con­fes­sion, and the bible, and some of the writ­ings of the saints, has improved the qual­ity of my life.…

    Happy Belated Birth­day Pete! Sorry so late been crazy busy! I hope you had a great day. Be blessed always. Look­ing for­ward to upcom­ing projects.

    hey Pete, Mick, the band…am a little bit happy again today…drove around the city on hol­i­days with my hobo friend, (he’s a great guy I think) and we listened to “hold­ing back the years“over and over again…it was so peaceful…it made us won­der if the people we saw in cars or walk­ing etc know that God loves them and wants them to be happy…it was beautiful…and your music was there with us, sus­tain­ing the feeling…love you all for that, Mick and the rest…just beautiful…

    Feli­cid­ades Pete!!! Desde chile un abrazo…

  12. fan of simply red says:

    hey Pete…Mick…the band…listened to “fair­ground” a little bit today…I remem­ber read­ing an art­icle about your music once, in which someone said some­thing to the effect of “a line that someone else could sing and no one would think twice about it, Mick can sing and it grabs you”…or some­thing to that effect…I’m not try­ing to flat­ter you, but it is true that your music has really been an inspir­a­tion for me, par­tic­u­larly the last dec­ade or so that I’ve been listen­ing to it…I really don’t think you all could have done such a won­der­ful job of it, par­tic­u­larly Mick, (at least in my estim­a­tion), unless God had been there all along, in His love…that’s my take on it…and I sure am grate­ful to God for your music…

  15. pete Lewinson says:

    Thank you all so much!
    I had a great birth­day in Italy on hol­i­day with my fam­ily.
    I am very much look­ing for­ward to The next leg of the tour.
    Hope to see you all at some point.
    Lots of love Pete.x

    Hey Pete…Mick…the band…hope you are dong reas­on­ably well, all things considered…was listen­ing to some of your music today…don’t know how you do it…I think a per­son can learn some­thing about peace and joy from the music Simply Red has pro­duced over the years, des­pite the fact that Mick kind of squandered some of his gift in dis­sol­ute liv­ing in his early years…or maybe that pushed him to come up with some of his best lyr­ics and melodies?…I don’t know…I mean I guess the only way we could ever REALLY know is if Mick could live his life twice and this time be a little more moral, all the while keep­ing the music he made from the first time he lived his life…but nobody can do that and maybe it was God’s will that Mick learn some things the hard way, as many of us do…
