    Love Paul Carrick he is one of three British singers, on my list, that is on the top of the list along with Paul Rogers and Tom Jones. Best 3 possibly in the world! Respected globally. FAB

    I had a dad. He died a month ago. He wasn't my biological dad but he was my dad. Never got a long with him him when i was a kid. Could never do anything right but i wanted to live up to his standards and make him proud of me. Now im a step dad and i want to be the kind of step dad to my step kids that my dad was to me. I love you dad

      Unfortunately, you rarely get the credit you deserve for being a step-dad until your dead. Then they say the same thing you did. Hope it works out better for you. Didn't for me.

      @TheWealthOfNationz ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @aliensarereal7832, Granted, it is much more complex being a step-father than a father; however, fathers are typically not appreciated until they are gone either since a good father is a strong, "silent hand" that provides children order, emotional strength and confidence through discipline (the bad cop in the good cop/bad cop dynamic). A good father's contribution becomes obvious when his time is cut short raising his kids and the kids struggle mightily.

    • @aliensarereal7832
      @aliensarereal7832 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@TheWealthOfNationz That was a beautiful comment. But in my case, in hindsight, I wish now that I would have invested all that time and sacrifice into myself. I need instant gratitude and I appear to be the only one that appreciates what I do. I now look out for me and let everyone do the same.

      😥 Good for you Kevin, I am sorry your bio. father wasn't there to raise you, but your outlook on raising your own step-children is so inspiring & it will be a way to bless those children & yourself at the same time ! It can be a way of healing for you, as well :)

    Incredible, he was holding back and keeping it dialed back for most of the song since he might not have the same vocal dexterity as when he was younger. But that final chorus at 5:00 he unleases and hits those absolute golden high notes. So much respect to this man for his God-given talent and incredible musicianship. We are lucky to share a world with him.

    I really admire Shawn for not wanting the spotlight and red carpet treatment. But at the same time most of the world never got to hear and experience the greatest voice to ever come along !!! But that’s the way he wanted to live his life and I’m sure he has had a much happier life than to have all the fame and fortune.

      My dad was in hospice the last time I saw him alive. I was on a film crew headed to Nashville TN to film a segment of the TV show America's Castles. Tornadoes were everywhere as we drove into town. I remember the sirens going off as I said to my dad I love you dad. he had't spoken in a few years and had almost no emotion but that day a tear came out of his left eye and just hung on his cheek. he didn't have to speak for him to know my love was deep. I miss that man today. He died 3 days later and I'm in Monaco filming another TV s episode.

    I had many differences with my Dad, it wasn't until my 30s that i resolved them,sadly at 49 i lost him.i wish he was still here, i have so much more i want to say.
    This song made me resolve those issues and difficult times we had when i was a child way back when this was released.
    Do it today, go see him, son or daughter go to him and sort it, then enjoy your time you both have left together.
    RIP DAD (John)
    Thanks BA Robertson (check the writers version) it was his experience in the lyrics he wrote. just copy and paste this (ba robertson living years above ) and also you will hear the name of the young babys real name from the song, and there is a surprize at the end of video(i wont tell you,it will spoil it), you think this version makes you cry watch this one the way it was meant to be.

    Every generation Blames the one before And all of their frustrations Come beating on your door I know that I'm a prisoner To all my Father held so dear I know that I'm a hostage To all his hopes and fears I just wish I could have told him in the living years Oh, crumpled bits of paper Filled with imperfect thought Stilted conversations I'm afraid that's all we've got You say you just don't see it He says it's perfect sense You just can't get agreement In this present tense We all talk a different language Talking in defence Say it loud (say it loud), say it clear (oh say it clear) You can listen as well as you hear It's too late (it's too late) when we die (oh when we die) To admit we don't see eye to eye So we open up a quarrel Between the present and the past We only sacrifice the future It's the bitterness that lasts So don't yield to the fortunes You sometimes see as fate It may have a new perspective On a different day And if you don't give up, and don't give in You may just be okay
    So say it loud, say it clear (oh say it clear) You can listen as well as you hear Because it's too late, it's too late (it's too late) When we die (oh, when we die) To admit we don't see eye to eye I wasn't there that morning When my Father passed away I didn't get to tell him All the things I had to say I think I caught his spirit Later that same year I'm sure I heard his echo In my baby's new born tears I just wish I could have told him in the living years Say it loud, say it clear (oh say it clear) You can listen as well as you hear It's too late (it's too late) when we die (it's too late when we die) To admit we don't see eye to eye So say it, say it, say it loud (say it loud) Say it clear (come on say it clear) Say it loud (Don't give up, don't give in and don't look away 'til it's too late) Say it clear Say it loud (say it loud, say it loud)
