It's been 35 years, and it still gets me every time 😔💙
Yeah 38 for me. There are so many question I still have but the answers are lost to the ages.
Same here😢
Only 18 years for me, but we lost Mom and Dad 10 weeks apart. We knew she was going to be leaving, but he wasn't even sick. I think her dying broke his heart. This song is hard to listen to...
Same here, every single time.
Nearly 20 years since my Dad passed and this track still has me shook to the core
I seen my tough-guy husband break down in tears twice in my life ..day our son left for college... and one afternoon just driving along i-95 when this song came on.. looked me in the face and he said pretty sure my father just sent that to me.. his father had died 2 years prior and this was just a week after our son was born. My husband has since passed also and I can't listen to this song without bawling my eyes out.
Beautiful...
I cried over your post ... Blessings
This is such a beautiful song, it's made me cry for decades. Your dad is still here, no matter what differences you have, call and tell him how much you love him. My dad and I had MANY differences but when he got sick I told him thank you for going to every softball game, every concert, everything when I was a kid. He passed away a week later. Man, I'm so glad I had the chance to tell him. We aren't all that lucky.

Glad u had a good Dad...my Dad left me and my sister and moved away with a new woman. I feel sorry for my sister who just wanted a father.
@@michaelasay8587 I'm so sorry. Yes, we didn't get along but at least he was there.
So sorry for your loss. I lost both my parents in the last 2 years myself. Like you I had my differences with my Dad but was all forgotten and forgiven as he got older. Dad went before Mum and though they where deforced for years, One day my siblings and I went to visit his grave and my Mother decided she would like to go too. to pay her respects, she liked the cemetery so much that she decided that's where she wanted to go too, and so both my parents are in the same place now. I was much closer to my mom if I'm honest, one of the best lasting memories of our time together was me taking her to the Queen musical "we will rock you" she was a huge Freddie Mercury fan and loved every minute of it
@@michaeldolan9980 I haven't been to any of my families graves...missed my sister's funeral...crazy shit but I'm not going to blame everything on myself anymore...wow, u helped me dude! Are you in that crazy US? I got out 6 years ago, thank God. I'm barely alive over here but I don't thinl of be alive over there. Is Biden dead yet
My dad died unexpectedly in my arms. I watched the light fade from his eyes, trying to revive him. I kept telling him "I love you dad, come back". I hope he heard my final words to him. I wish I had 1 more day. 😢
Sorry for loss from the bottom of heart. From Perth Australia
❤
I am sure he felt your warmth and love
I can assure you that your dad heard your voice, sorry that you lost your dad that way, in your arms, that’s gotta hurt big time , that memory
Wow I’m so sorry for your loss! I can’t imagine and I hope you find peace asap! God bless
Lost my Dad to alzheimers. I still had his living years to tell him, but he was already gone. He didnt know who any of us were. Mom continued to make chocolate chip cookies every day for him and carry them to the nursing home. He didnt remember her, the absolute live of his life, but the smell of those cookies triggered something in his brain and he would gobble them down like a child. It was Moms link to him even if he couldnt speak.
Thats beautiful!
I can't imagine anyone voicing this other than Paul Carrack. He's just perfect.
I still cannot get through this song without tears since it first came out.
This was one of my dads favorite songs. He passed away in May of 2022. My dad was 48 when I was born and 88 when he passed, but I feel blessed and cherish the 40 yrs that I got to spend with him.
My father was a Vietnam Vet who came back broken and angry and he eventually became a violent drunk and my parents got divorced a couple years later. We didn't take PTSD seriously back then, but we never had a chance to rebuild a connection with him because he cut us all off emotionally and financially and we just moved on from him. The couple times I talked to him as an adult, he criticized me and told me he was ashamed of me. I learned of his death when I randomly googled him and found he had passed away years prior. In spite of all of that, I wish I had had an opportunity to thank him for serving our country well and try to forgive him. I harbored hate for him for most of my life and it's taken so long to resolve that within myself. An honest conversation with him would not have changed the past, but it could have healed me much sooner.
Dad has been gone 19 years. A week before he passed away we did have that deep conversation and it was one of the greatest gifts I ever received. He gifted me with the time to have that talk while he was still alive. Love you dad....miss you.
My Dad was 32 when he lost to cancer, I was 12.
I still miss him daily 51 years later. He was a wonderful
man and a perfect human. I never met anyone that had anything
but great things to say about him. If ya'll still have your father
make sure he knows how much he means to you.
I just posted about losing my dad to cancer when I was 12. He was 30. We have a very similar story. Sorry for your loss, even though it was so long ago.
My dad simply didn't make home from work one day. I was 17 and it's nearly 50 years ago. Luckily I had told my parents how I felt about them.
very sorry for your loss too, hard losing a parent, especially so young. @@dalesanders1260
This song literally came out the week my Dad passed away. The very first time I heard it was when I was getting dressed for his funeral. It totally wrecked me. Still does, 34 years later. 😢
My dad died in 2000 suddenly age 60 . Thought I’d have time. Song still can make me cry.
I cried when I listened to this song long before my father died, and now seeing the song's title is all it takes. My father died nearly 20 years ago, and it hurts as much as it did then.
I tear-up every time I hear this now-a-days. I lost my Dad to cancer 8 years ago, and I still miss him every single day. If I had known how quickly he was going to pass, I could have done so much more for him in those last few days. He deserved it.
I beg you: treasure every day you have with him, as they are limited.
I was eight month's pregnant with my dad's first grandson when cancer took him from us at age 65. I wasn't there that morning when he passed away and I did feel his spirit and hear his echo later that year in my newborn son's tears. But luckily, I did get to tell him what I needed to say and I'm so grateful for that. Twenty years later and that new born is a wonderful young man who dad would have been so proud of. Say it! Say the thing you need to say, tell him that you love him while he can still hear it, and say it at every opportunity. To your mom too. None of the quarrels mean anything when you come down to that bottom line, the only thing that matters is that you love one another.
I lost my dad last summer, so this song hits hard! There is definitely a lot I wish I would have said or done.
Ditto…… to lung cancer and dementia. Miss him more every single day.
Sorry for both you're losses 🙏
23 years since my Father passed and 37 since my Mother, not a day goes by that I don't miss them and long for the day I will be reunited with them
I love this Song because it reminds of my Dad who died in 93 I was 17 miss you Love you Dad .....till we meet again Someday......
I'm 62, and my dad is still with us so far.
However, this song sobers me right quick as it is a reminder of the inevitable. I realize how blessed I am to have him around for so long. I will be lost when he goes.
Great reaction!
You said Bacharach correctly. One of the greatest songwriters of the last 70 or so years. He recently passed away
Lost my dad 40 years ago when I was 4,Wish I had to get to know him 💙
My dad died just before Christmas last year. He and i didnt have a great relationship and in his final years I was in constant dilemma as to how much energy to put towards trying to repair that relationship. The damage was not because he did anything wrong, we were just two very different people with very different ways of showing love. This song really speaks to me ❤
My grandfather passed away in an auto accident in 1990. My mom chose this song to be played at his funeral. So, this holds a special meaning to me for that reason.
This was played at my father-in-law’s funeral.
so nostalgic! to me the song has always meant to always tell people you love that you love them before its to late to do so
Almost 25 years since my dad passed. We had a great relationship. He, like us all, had faults, but overall was a good man. There is always more that could have been said. Just treasure the good as much as you can.
One of the most moving songs ever, Paul Carrack's voice is perfect for it.
My dad passed in 91 a year after this song was released, I was 12 at the time. My family sheltered me from seeing him while he fell ill. So it hits hard when he sings the lyrics, 'I wasn't there the morning my father passed away' I miss you daddy❤
My dad actually loved this song. He was always pure country music. I still miss him after 9 years. 😢
Such a brilliant song and fantastic vocal performance by Paul Carrack. Gets me Every. Time.
MY Father passed away 5 months ago after a long battle of dementia - I will forever love my wife for pleading for me to make mends with my mom a few weeks before she passed away 6 years ago... with my Father, I was there many many nights by myself at ICU and Hospice just talking to him and seeing in his eyes the hurt and pain of all the lost years we wasted for not seeing eye to on things. I was there along with my 4 brothers when he passed away.. My Brothers and I still do not see eye to eye on many things but I thank them for us all being able to get together for the last few weeks so my dad could see us all in the same room with him. We still have lots of things to sort through, but I made it a point to be there for my father on his last days of life....My wife told me to listen to this song when my mom was passing away.... it opened my eyes and i promised myself to be there for her and for my dad regardless of not seeing eye to eye on religion, family and other critical stuff that happened....
If you have your parents, cherish them, as they will be gone in this cycle of life and you want no regrets..
Sorry for the loss of both your mother and father. Glad you were able to reconcile with your mother before she passed. I hope their memory is a blessing to you.
lead singer is Paul Carrack ..... had hits with 3 bands (The Living Years, How Long with Ace, and Tempted by the Fruit of Another with Squeeze, plus a single of his own) .... quite a complete body of work for an "unknown"
Those that appreciate music, know exactly who Paul Carrack is, he is a a generational talent!
@@marsanchez2500I personally consider Paul as one of the top greatest vocalists of the rock era ever. Along with Lou Gramm from Foreigner.
Cool Running by Mike and the Mechanics with Paul Carrack was great as well.
@@davidchapman2213Silent Running, fyi
@@Faltor895 My bad. Thank. I think Cool Runnings was a movie. Don’t know why I typed that since I’ve never even seen the movie, lol.
Came out in 1988, written by B A Robertson & Mike Rutherford (white suite & guitar). This chart was hit around the world. I was 28 yrs old when this came out & cried so much. I'm from the UK too. 💝💝💝
Right on Sebs, the song has served it's purpose if it motivates the listener to say what needs to be said. Mike & the mechanics is basically Genesis bassist/guitarist Mike Rutherford's solo project. The lead vocalist here is the amazing Paul Carrack, one of Britain's greatest R&B/Soul singers. The original line up also featured another incredible vocalist, Paul Young who sings lead on two other great tracks from their mid 80's debut album: Silent running & All I need is a miracle. Also check out a later little heart warming gem, Beggar on a beach of gold, cheers
So many great songs from this period…Genesis, Sting, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel. All great rabbit holes for you to explore.
Paul Carrack - a fantastic singer. The other singer with this band was Paul Young, now sadly deceased. Great reaction.👍👍😊😊
I think you’ll find mate that Paul young will be offended that you say he died…..he’s still rockin’ and rollin’
@@mufuliramark You're referring to a different Paul Young! The Mike & The Mechanics Paul Young, who formally sang with Sad Cafe, sadly died on 15 July 2000. Great loss.
@@waynejones1054 Ooops, my bad. 👍🏻
@@mufuliramark It's confused me more than once😄
The one thing I love about your reactions is that you literally read the words that were written for the songs! I believe you have a beautiful soul❤
I lost my dad a few months ago to complications due to cancer. My dad and I, mostly on my part, had a falling out for over 5 years. He had a hospital visit near where I now live. My husband almost literally pushed me out the door to go visit him. I had only planned on staying long enough to hear how he was and what the doctors were saying. His first words when I came into his room were, " Hey, son. I'm glad you came to see me. I'm sorry I hurt you." All of my defenses were shattered and we spent the next four and a half hours talking about and healing the rift between us. During our conversation, this song came up. My high school choir performed it at my baccalaureate, and it was as clear a memory to him as if it were yesterday. This song has become very special to me since. Thank you for this reaction.
I am so sorry for your loss but am glad that you were able to reconcile with him before he passed. May his memory be a blessing to you.
Genesis was jammed pack with super talented people, Mike Rutherford, Phil Collins, and Peter Gabriel - just more of their great solo work.😊
Steve Hackett, Tony Banks, Anthony Phillips
Oh my gosh I love this song. It's beautiful and yes that singer was born to sing it. I sing everytime, but not out loud because it always brings me to tears and nobody not even me wants to hear all of that lol.
This one is timeless, fantastic song
Saw them sing this in concert in 1989 or 1990. Such a heartfelt song❤❤
There is so much meaning within this song.
That line about the echo within his baby's new tears. Isn't it so wonderful?
The singer is Paul Carrack and his voice is so full of soul .
Yes, it is. Then you watch the current Grammys with a satanic performance and wonder how popular music went from this to that.
Lead singer is Paul Carrack… he’s awesome! Sings another song with Mike and the Mechanics called Silent running.. another band called Ace is a song How Long and also another good one he sings is with Squeeze called Tempted
Beautiful heartfelt reaction Sebs, I don't know anyone who wouldn't be affected by this song the same way as you. Paul Carrack has an amazing voice and nobody could have done this better and the lyrics are just achingly beautiful. The kind of song that makes me wish I'd known my Dad. Thanks for your reaction, it means a lot.
You have a beautiful heart, and it's sweet to see the music touch your soul. Your reactions are a blessing ❤
Despite over a quarter of a century, “The Living Years” still bring tears! My day wasn’t the best dad (having left me in my youth only to return when l was an adult.) We didn’t see eye to eye, but during the last 5 years of his life, i helped nurse him and we had a marvelous relationship from then until his death! This song 🎶 isn’t the song to listen to when you’re in sorrow and going through problems (as l am now). God bless you brother! Great review!!!!!
I heard the song for the first time two days after my dad passed away on his 57th birthday in 2019. I was driving and this song had me thinking and crying. Someone knew I needed it most at that moment. Great reaction, man. Thank you
I love Paul's voice. Mike's story is so very relatable.
One of the purest reactions to this great song on YT. Fantastic job.
such a powerful song, gets me everytime
I miss my dad every day. But I am fortunate enough to have made my peace with my parents so I got to know them as adults.
My dad passed away before this song came out. I first heard this song on an episode of Oprah and I immediately wrote a letter to my mum to tell her how much I loved her and appreciated all the things she did for me. It was a cathartic moment and I immediately felt better and my relationship with her was amazing after that. Sadly she passed away , but it gave me comfort that I’d said everything I needed to. I still tear up when I hear it but they’re happy tears. Luv ya.
An amazing song and its meaning is timeless
yes, it's a father to son song, more importantly, it's a song that shows how one generation talks to the next.
I've seen several 'reaction' vids to this song...and not one of them mention the shared responsibility of communication. The children's voices to begin...then later the 'older' voices...alternating at first...then blending together. A message to both parents and children, to open up the dialogue.
This song is pure gold. It has the ability to touch those with good relationships with their parents AND those who don't. It touches us all in one way or another.
My father was diagnosed with cancer in 1989. This song was on the radio at the time so I knew about the song and the meaning behind it. We got the phone call from the hospital to come and say our goodbyes. I was aware of the meaning of this song so that night I took the time to share words with my father. I told him how I learn to walk in his shoes . as me and my girlfriend and my daughter got into our car. My girlfriend started the car and the radio came on, this song started from the queue I swear. I cried all the way home. My father passed away that night. Thank you for sharing this.🙏
My precious father went away in 1970 😢 and i couldn't understand why. He probably had things he couldn't get over and couldn't see anyway out except to take his own life. Today i understand completely because i faced the same thing in my life when i came to a turning point. I prayed for God most high and he answered my prayers and i went to rehab in Tupelo mississpi . Praise God most high I've been clean and sober for 40 years ❤ thank you for your reaction to this beautiful song. It still tugs at the heart whenever i heart it ❤😊
First notes brought tears to my eyes.
Me and my dad were estranged for a very long time. A month, he contacted me out of the blue, saying he was not well and that he had been reading his bible. WE exchanged a few emails, and told him to keep me updated. I just got the call today that he passed away. I've been listening to this song all evening, and wanted to reach out, and tell you and everyone else, forgive your father for whatever he's done, and repent to him for any of the wrongs you've done. You never know when your time is coming. I hope my dad will make it to heaven on the day of judgment, and everyone reading this will come to know and be baptized into Jesus Christ, so that this life is not the end for you. God bless everyone!
So sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my mother when I was 14 so I can certainly empathize with you. Glad you were able to reconnect before he passed. May his memory be a blessing to you.
My father loved this song and myself and him listened to it very often in his car. I think it was a cd. I kept it in my head watching him die over a few days. It really helped me through and reminded me I needed to tell him what I needed to tell him before the end.
You expressed perfectly the true heart of the emotions that this song invokes, Sebs. Thank you so much
Great reaction. Lead singer is Paul Carrack, hes just great. He was in another group back in the 80s called Ace, the song is "How Long Has This Been Going On", great song too btw. ❤🎼
On a different note....Has anyone ever told you, you look just like Jimmy Fallon? 😮
66 years old and I cry every time!!
This song gets to me every time I hear it.....I grew up in a very strained relationship with my Father.... we never resolved our differences and now he has passed on. He is now at peace and I am left to bear the sorrow.
One of the best for me. First time heard it when I was younger......chills. This song made me not have regrets when my father passed.
My dad died in 2020, and I can honestly say he knew in the living years how much I loved him
Always loved this song!
for someone who has listened to this song religiously and had the chance to talk to my father in his living years but failed, I say do it NOW ! I should have called my father and talked to him more. I was planning to see him again with his grandson after 15 years then friggin Covid hit. by that time everything was cleared for travel (17 years), I kept postponing my plans for months til I got the news that my father passed due to a massive stroke. I wasted my chance and opportunity so don't tempt fate. JUST DO IT NOW ! tonight if you have the chance.
I loved my Dad and miss him so very much since he passed away in 1974. Both he and my mum came from the generation that fought through the Second World War and being born in 1953 I greatly appreciate the sacrifice their whole generation made on our behalf. To me, they are the greatest of all generations.
I never get tired of this song- it's timeless
I haven't heard it for a long time. It is a great song and he sings it beautifully. My Dad and I talked and had a great relationship. I was lucky to have said I love you to him aweek before he died.
PAUL CARRACK HAS ONE OF ROCKS BEST VOISES,EXPLOR HIS SOLO WORK AND COVER SONGS VERY TALENTED MAN!
My dad is still alive, but he wont talk to me. It eats me up. I spent two decades as a junkie, avoided prison snd death.. and i just wantto say im sorry, and i love him. If you see this dad.. PLEASE... we cant end it like this.
Sebs, I lost my dad a couple of years ago. I’m now a dad and a grandfather. Whenever I hear this song tears flow down my face. I greatly miss my dad and my grandfathers. I make it my mission to adhere to their teachings and to endeavor to emulate being the kind of men they were.
My father is still alive. We had a great relationship until I was 14 or so. I was selfish and thought he didn't understand what I was going through. I really didn't listen to much of what he said. We distanced somewhat for about 15 years. Not bitter, just distanced. Cordial. Once I had children of my own, I began to understand more from a parent's point of view. I've had a lot of great talks with my dad since then. I've made a lot of apologies (that he says are unnecessary). I can't imagine what it would have been like if he had died before I could tell him that, although I still don't think he was always right, I understand everything now and I wish I had been a better listener then. After all, he always just wanted the best for me.
Gonna go call him now...
Rush is my favorite band
My Dad had Alzheimers, and he didn't know me anymore. He was taken into hospital a week before Christmas 2022, where he would lie in bed with his eyes closed unresponsive. My Mum and I went in to see him on Christmas day, where we sat his bedside for a few hours. When we left, I said "Bye Dad" to which he startled me when he said "Bye Son" I was so happy knowing he knew it was me and that I was there. Sadly he passed not long after. I'm just glad that he's with God now, where he will be forever young.
I loved this song as a teenage, not appreciating the lyrics due to my age. I heard it again last year, and for the first time, had many tears as I lost my Dad suddenly 3 years ago. Beautiful song.
This song is so insightful and moving.
I cry when I hear this beautiful song.
It is amazing to me that though it does make logical sense to finally realize in our hearts that everyone actually has feelings, not just you. Man, how lost are we that we aren't so as close as we all could be and should be.
Oh, I'm in tears! I am so glad I had "that conversation" with my dad before he passed. He was my hero and I was always so afraid that I didn't live up to his expectations. He was the strong and silent type (a career US Navy officer and fighter pilot) with a heart of gold. I told him that her was my hero, and he told me that he was proud of me. He's been gone for 14 years and I miss him every day.
I just subscribed to your channel, because I appreciate your introspective style of reacting. Paul Carrack is an underappreciated artist. He has a voice for the ages. Soulful & flawless. I had the great good fortune of sitting at my Father's bedside & telling him what a great Man & Father he was as he drew his last breaths at 93 years old. My brother & I are the Men that we are, because of the Man he was.
My generation of baby boomers come from parents who could not communicate. My husband lived this same scenario with his father who is now gone. My father and I were thick as thieves and he passed in 2019 after living to 90. I lived next door as he began his downhill turn until he passed. My father became my husband’s father and my dad was who my husband mourned. We still mourn his quiet wisdom, but I have his stories taped so we can still hear them. Make peace with your parents is all I can say.
Paul Carrack also had a huge hit in 1990 called "Dont Shed A Tear". It really also showcases his voice well
By this tune
I water the memories
of my Dad
with a bucket of tears.
( I ask him, still
..."how I am doing Dad?)
I was there when my dad died from asbestosis. I spoke to him hours earlier before he was put into a morphin coma. His last words to me were "we made a good team didn't we"? We did. He was my rock in my early years & I miss miss him so much. 10 years later my mother passed & she missed him even more than I did. Parents are so important role models.
One of the best songs ever written about real life that takes the listener on a story spoken from the soul. Tell people you love them... even if they dont get it.
Speak from love, in kindness, and from truth - for time is always short!
You have a beautiful spirit bro..I love your honest reactions
❤Touching and tears! ALWAYS HAVE LOVED THIS SONG!!
Paul Carrick is the Lead Singer Awesome voice. Is biggest hit was 'Everytime that you, walk in the Room
This song is painfully beautiful. It makes me feel sad because I haven’t seen my dad in 25 years 😢
Paul Carrack on Lead Vocals and the late great Paul Young on backing vocals (playing keyboards in this video). They shared Lead Vocals on most of the songs. A brilliant, classic and moving song. Also I had never realised that it actually topped the Billboard Hot 100 until I checked the other day; all the way back in March 1989.
Hi Seb - Chris in the UK here - i love yuor channel as you put so much into it. I am sure you have been told but the singer on Living Years is Paul Carrack - from Yorkshire England - a truly incredible singer and still in his 70's doing it - try an earlier incarnation in ACE called "How Long" - incredible late 70's vocal
Hi Seb. My Father passed in 2015, my Mom in 2020. A couple of Years before either of them passed, I wrote them each a personal Letter and Gave it to each of them. I told them how much they each Meant to me, throughout the years, and how blessed I was for having Each of them as my Parents. I did that to show them how grateful I was for them, and perhaps when life was getting them down, they could have My Words and Feelings with them and Read my Words and feel Me, and know My Love for them
This song makes me think about how much ive wanted a better relationship with my Father but also reminds me how important it is that im there for my kids to support them, love them and enjoy being with them.
I lost my dad a couple of years ago. I lived out of town, and didn't see him that much. We didn't see eye to eye on a lot and I usually felt worse having talked to him, as he was judgy and I never felt good enough. But I loved him. So much. And I regret not seeing him more often. He passed away and I wasn't there and I will die regretting that. Call your dad. Talk to your dad. Tell him you love him. Don't fool yourself thinking you'll talk to him tomorrow. This song just guts me.
Lost my dad almost 30 years ago, and still tear up thinking about the things we might have talked about, but didn't. Maybe if there's an afterlife, we'll catch up then, my only hope.
I lost my Father when I was just 33 (he was 59 when he passed). We had a very strained relationship up until I joined the Army at age 23. Our relationship greatly changed at that point (for the better). My regret is that for those last 10 years I was always stationed very far away from my folks and only got to see them once or twice a year. Then, before I knew it, he was gone. I often agonize over the fact that we didn’t get much time in the living years and there is so much I didn’t get to tell him.
