I had forgotten how powerful this number is.
I think you and your dad should sit down and watch this video together and start your living years conversations
It's a rare song that makes your ass reevaluate your life choices
The two generations of choir is a brilliant touch
It's been just a year since my dad passed. Please, call your Dad.
I’m going fishing with my father tomorrow.
Wish I could call my dad! He passed in 1978! He was 53! He was in two wars and became an alcoholic! I now realise that he probably had PTSD! He didn’t get the help he needed! We didn’t even know about PTSD in the sixties! Yes I’m old! This song is BREAKING my heart! Peace and Blessings to you and yours!
Lost mine just before Christmas 2002! Miss him everyday! We always talked Bama football and the years are hard for not being able to talk to him about it! Love you parents while you can!
I just took my dad on a sunset cruise for Father's day. I will NEVER take him for granted.
First and foremost I’m sorry about your mom!! Mike is actually the guitarist for Genesis. This is such a touching song. It hits you deep especially the line about his father’s voice in his baby’s newborn tears. Thx for watching this. Always brings a tear to my eyes.
Remember BP, Genesis is Phil Collins! You like him!
The singer is Paul Carrack. You might want to check out an awesome solo song of his, "Don't Shed a Tear".
I think I caught his spirit, later that same year, I’m sure I heard his echo in my baby’s newborn tears . That verse gets me every time such genius heartfelt lyrics ❤❤❤.
@@HeavyTopspinpreviously of Squeeze and singer of “Tempted.” Great song. Great voice.
I love Genisus,great music
My dad died in 2020 at the young age of 60 and we weren't allowed to go into the hospital to see him or say goodbye, the last WhatsApp message I sent him said how much we were all thinking of him and that I loved him. But the blue double tick didn't show on the message and that always wrecks me knowing he didn't read it. If you still have your parents tell them how much you love them ❤️
Reading it or not, he knew.
As a mom I agree.
Don't carry that dude, he'll have known
@@greyknightus7 thanks for your support 🫶 he did know how much I loved him and I was lucky to have a Dad as great as him, some people unfortunately never get that and that's something I can cherish forever.
@@user-jr1op3yk6k thanks for your kind words of support, it really means a lot. I will try my best to let it go 🫶
and still better then 95% of today's music
and the rest
Not to forget the magnificent vocals of Paul Carrick!!!
Yes! And I love his solo work too.
His performance of “Hey You” in The Wall concert live in Berlin was superb
Be sure he sees this video, shared by you, to him on Father's Day tomorrow. ❤🎉
❤
This song means so much to those who have lost loved ones. Grief is heartbreaking 😢
"Mike" is Mike Rutherford (formerly part of Genesis) is the one in the video with the kid in the video and playing guitar in white, the singer is the brilliant Paul Carrack (formally of far too many to list)
Call your dad, wish him an happy Father's Day. I know he'll appreciate that.
I lost my father 41 years ago. The hate is gone and I miss the SOB terribly now.
My dad died in 86. We weren't close but he got to meet his grandsons before he passed. Mom died in 2009. And my husband of 40 years died in 2018.
Play this for dad. Sometimes music is the best communicator.
I always thought this was a beautiful song, but now hearing it now, listening to the lyrics, has brought tears to my eyes. I’ve buried both parents and my husband and I’m sitting here setting my cat’s fur with my tears.
My dogs for me the same with the rest of your comment.
I'm so sorry...Call out to Jesus...HE loves you and will help you through the pain and sorrow..HE will never leave you...May God bless you in Jesus' name🙏❤
Yes. This hits differently now after having lost my parents (they died 2 days apart) my son and my husband…😥
Everyone's reaction to this song is the same. I don't know anyone who cannot relate. Such a powerful message.❤❤❤
The people who can't relate are probably just staying silent rather than disrupting the vibe.
Profoundly beautiful song! I lost my dad to cancer in 1999. A heavy drinker through my childhood, he got sober when I was still in high school. He showed me that a leopard CAN change its spots, if it really wants to. I got to have him live with me thru his chemo. I miss my dad.
I cry every time I hear this. I am thankful I was able to talk truthfully and honestly and lovingly with both parents before their passing. I do regret not being able to take care of them before they passed. I wanted to hold their hands. But I had to follow their wishes. They didn't want it. People please talk honestly to your loved ones about what you want to be done. It was so helpful and will save them from regrets.
I had 3 brothers 4 sisters, 3 stepbrothers and 5 stepsisters , 2 half brothers. 1 brother 2 stepsister are gone , two years before my father passed he told me was proud of me , he wasn't a hugger and never expressed his love . So it took me by surprise. He passed two years later.
One of my brothers and one of my sisters have passed away. I always try to empathize with my father, because I can’t imagine burying your children before you’re dead. I’m going fishing with him tomorrow.
Enjoy your day!!❤@@Syzygy77
That was a really good, heartfelt reaction. My Dad died 53 years ago on the 11th April,1971 and I still miss him. My Darling Mum followed on the 25th of May,1996. I still miss them hugely and now, through the solid, unstoppable march of time,I am 70 years old, myself. To demonstrate the fragility of life, ONLY TODAY,i have just heard that my London Football Team's goalkeeper has died, suddenly, at just 26 years old. It can happen to anyone, anytime so make the most of every day and tell your loved ones how you feel, which I used to do, fortunately. It could all end that suddenly but as you get older, you, unwillingly, buy more tickets in the lottery of death, I'm afraid.
I'm 64yrs old and I lost my dad in 2014. I appreciate the advice and I'll take it to heart. Thank you. 🙏🇺🇲✌️😎
@@Crownd1_ Good Luck and be strong for them,my friend.
My situation is eerily similar. Dad in March of1975,,,Mom in Oct of 1995. She lived 20 years after she lost her loving husband. I had 2 stepsisters, and a stepbrother, all gone now,, one sister who is 2 years older, and we are still close. I’m 68
My mom died in 2021 from lung cancer. Even though I expected it, it seemed when she died it was sudden quick and unexpected! I feel like I'm still mourning I miss her so very much! I would do almost anything just to have her back, except I know her spirit is at peace and I'm being selfish. To know I will be missing her when I'm in my 70's is daunting! Hopefully the missing/yearning/gut-punch feeling will morph into something lighter to carry though my living years! I went to visit my father today to hug him, listen to his voice and to tell him I love him.. Thank you for sharing your story with us.🙂
This song gets me every time. I had no contact for over 20 years when my father died. Never got validation or closure. Probably the biggest regret of my life
I cry everytime ,I was not there when my Dad died it was the worst day of my life,I have been waiting for you to do this song I knew it would get you.❤❤❤
My adored dad died in December 2022 in Queensland Australia aged 87 and we live in central Victoria. I was a daddy’s girl all of my life, he was the centre of my world. My mum kicked him out when I was 5 after one too many affairs he had and I was hysterical, attached to his leg to stop him leaving me, begging him to stay. I stayed so close to him, we saw him every weekend and he was always very financially very responsible for us. I finally got to live with him and my stepmother when I was 14 and absolutely loved seeing him every day. He was a very successful businessman, wore Pierre Cardin suits and was a workaholic. But in the evenings he and I would watch British comedy together and laugh our butts off. When he remarried for the third time, that wife did not want him being close to me. I bought him this song, gave it to him and he never said a word so I don’t know if he even listened to it. When he moved so far away (her doing) it became even harder to have that bond again but I loved him so much. The last time we flew up to see him, my son, he and I went out for lunch at the stunning Tweed Heads country club on the Tweed river. We sat there so long talking that everyone else had left. It was raining by then and he went and got the car for us so that we didn’t get wet, so sweet. I miss my father so much. When he died, we didn’t even know where his body was thanks to our revolting stepmother. I was waking in the night sobbing for him and I was 62 but felt like that 5yr old little girl again who had lost her dad. No funeral, no nothing. Just gone 💔
😢
🙏❤️🙏 He knows you loved him
I am sorry that happened to you!
That tough, stoic man raised a remarkable son ... a man who is respectful, respected, and successful. You are blessed, my friend.
This is such a powerful song, especially with Paul Carrack singing it.
My father died when I was under a year old, from an illness he acquired while serving in the military. Even though I never knew him, I "saw" him in the way my gramps became the leading force in my upbringing. I can only pray that my grandsons will feel towards me, the love and admiration I shared with my gramps.
Paul Carrack is an amazing singer.
He sang.lead on numerous hits, yet had minimal recognition.
Awesome song.
Universally relatable.
Thank you for this reaction. I'm sorry about your Mom, your love for her radiates so strongly and is a beautiful testament. This song perfectly says all the things we try to say. My dad is 85, I'm named after him ("Roni"), and the youngest of 7 -- all raised on a truck driver's salary. He is a man's man and I was intimidated of him while growing up but I have watched him soften over the years to where he now freely gives out hugs and "I love you"s. My son hasn't spoken to me in 10 years and my heart is broken..but I pray one day he'll come back to me...and if not, we'll be reconciled in Heaven.
God bless all the fathers this Father's Day weekend and God bless all of us who are trying so hard to keep it together through all the pain. Love wins. God wins. ❤
My mom is 89 and she needed help to stay in her house. So I now live with her to help her and i make sure i hug her every day.
Can you imagine a world where this song is #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (it was)? Old (er) guy, here....shows how much we've changed in just 3 short decades. By the way, that is the great Paul Carrack on lead vocal.
Mike is the lead guitarist of Genesis. This is his group on the side. That is him with his son.
His son was not with him at all in this band. A simple Google search will tell you that.
He meant the little one that he's holding his hand! @@markbrubaker466
With Tony banks on keys and Peter Gabriel - then Phil Collins as lead singer
@@markbrubaker466he didn't mention the son being in the band at all. However, that is Mike with his son in the video.
@@markbrubaker466 no, the kid in the video.
My father died in 1996 at age 77. I was out of the country when he passed but 6 weeks before, I was visiting my parents and Dad wanted to go for a drive out in the countryside. We drove and talked and reminisced about things we did when I was little, like when we drove past our favorite fishing spot. He was very involved in reintroducing cranes to Wisconsin so we were looking to see if any were back yet. When we saw a group, we pulled over to watch them as they did their unison calls and dancing. He commented that he never thought his kids would be able to see one of his fondest memories from his childhood (habitat destruction and hunting caused cranes to disappear from our state back in the late 30's). I wasn't there to say goodbye, but we both had that wonderful afternoon together which Mom said meant a lot to him. Cranes are my spirit animal and bring me close to Dad even now. I was able to say goodbye to Mom. She took her final breath while I was holding her hand in hospice (age 95).
So glad to hear you got to have closure with your mom. My wife passed away in 2019 of cancer. She was getting better, but then it got worse very quickly. Took her to the hospital because she wasn't feeling well, and they did some tests and kept her there. The next morning, they gave me a call basically telling me the cancer had completely taken over her liver and she never regained conciseness. I had to sit there and watch her pass away without getting to say goodbye and everything else that need to be said. Five years later the regret is still tearing me up inside. DO NOT take for granted any relationship with a loved one. If something needs to be said, say it. If there's things you both want to do, do it NOW. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Not trying at all is much worse than trying but failing. Please take this advice. You always hear people say these things to the point where we get almost lackadaisical towards it because it's been said so often. I was one of those people. There's a reason why it's repeated so often. Follow the advice. YOU DO NOT WANT TO FEEL LIKE I DO. Trust me.
LOST DAD IN 2018 - DIDN'T GET TO TELL HIM ALL THE THINGS I HAD TO SAY. THIS SONG ALWAYS BRINGS A TEAR TO MY EYE - THANK YOU FOR THE REACTION.
One of the deepest song ever!
One of my favorite songs. Paul Carrack's lead vocal is fantastic and the whole performance is superb. Thanks for reviewing it.
In 1995, my father died after a short and painful fight against cancer and I was holding his hand when he breathed his last. My brother and I had this played at his funeral. I tears me up listening to it even though I'm now 75 years old. I hope you called your dad and told him you loved him.
My dad died. I sat with him. My sis had nasty comment. I knew end was near. I wanted to spend those days with him. We had some of our best conversations
I'm gonna cry now. I know it. I miss my Dad so much. He was my hero and savior when my mom would beat me mercilessly. When I was five,he realized she hated me,so he kept me with him all the time. Took me to work and even when he went to a tavern for an afternoon beer. He loved me,cherished me always. I just wish everyone had my Dad for their lives.
Same.. I have huge tears just welling up
It was the other way around for me….it was my dad who resented me (though it wasn’t hate) and my mother and grandmother…who valued meAs an adult I managed to build a decent relationship with my dad.
My dad apoligized to me for everything he felt he did wrong in my upbringing and I thanked him for keeping me on the straight and narrow, he died in a helicopter crash not to long after that. I was so glad we had that conversation and is still one of my fondest memories I have of him.
Such a good song! I cant hear it without crying. I was in college and still had parents when it came out. I'm 56 now and they're both gone. it absolutely guts me. Mike is Mike Rutherford from Genesis, my favorite band,and this was the year that the charts were full of Genesis and adjacent artists: Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, GTR (with former band member Steve Hackett)!
I'm sorry for your loss...
Brilliant reaction, love that you make the future better for your kids.
That's what every parent should strive for.
One of the best songs in history
I was a teenager when this song came out and I did like it but I never truly understood it or appreciated the lyrics until I got older and it hit me different. I am grateful that I ha d an amazing relationship with both of my parents but it killed me the day I got that call that mom had passed. The call. I was heartbroken. Mom died in her sleep with my dad at her side. There's a blessing in that, but I still wish I could have seen her one more time. She had Alzheimer's for over 14 years and that was hard, slowly losing her, the mom I knew, over such a long period of time, but I still appreciated every moment I had with her, even if most times she didn't remember me. I visited my folks the week before she passed, but I still hated getting The Call. Dad passed away exactly one year after mom. We all insist he died of a broken heart. She passed three months before their 50th wedding anniversary and they were more in love then, then when they got married. They built a good life together and had 13 children, all crazy about mom and dad. When dad passed, he was not alone. 9 out of the 13 of us were there with him, all of us holding him in some way, all of us connected to him in those final moments and all of us whispering to him that it was okay to let go, that it was okay to move on and to go to mom, all telling him how much we loved him and would miss him. I will be eternally grateful that I was given that gift of that moment. I will be eternally grateful that when dad passed from this world he wasn't alone. He was surrounded by those he loved move than life. My dad was one of those people who was just crazy about kids. He loved kids and always wanted us around. I know he was happy and at peace when he left us, knowing that we were all there. Tell your loved ones how much you love and appreciate them now, while they and you are alive to hear it and experience it. Don't wait because you may lose that chance. Family First Always!
My wife's father passed away a month before our son was born.
He battled with alcohol addiction for decades, making a recovery only a few years before he passed.
In those last years, my wife and him reconciled and spent a lot of time together. We couldn't be more thankful for this, since he beat his demon, even if he couldn't beat cancer.
While the loss was felt more deeply because they had reconciled, it is so much better than that loss ringing hollow. We feel loss because of the love we feel for the ones we have in our lives.
Bro I’m on my couch crying. Just like you my Dad is 80 ex military, tough upbringing and with Father’s Day being tomorrow don’t know how many more I have with him. This is a tremendous song with every word speaking to us. But I believe it makes us better men and a loving Father who at times hugs with affection to your kids. My two boys 15&11 there hasn’t been one day without I love you!! Great call BP on this one 👍🇺🇸
This song is so powerful and beautiful. It gives you something to truthfully think about. ❤Stay safe
My soul breaths this song every day. I've lost my mom and dad, and 4 of my brothers and a sister in the past year. Some days, I feel alone on this planet. There's so much we all could have done better, but we didn't. But we did love each other, no doubt.
Oh my goodness! Deepest condolences to you. I’ve lost both parents, and I feel orphaned, but my siblings are still here, thank goodness. I’m so sorry for your profound losses.
@@Suzette-gb7uj thank you, and prayers to you 🙏
Everybody on my dad's side of the family died of cancer. My dad was the first. He had brain cancer in 1977 & slowly went downhill over the next 3 1/2 years. I went into his bedroom to tell him Merry Christmas in 1980. He wouldn't wake up. The brain cancer had come back & he died on New Year's Eve 1980. He was 51. My mom died in 1999 at 75 from a heart attack. One of my sisters died of brain cancer in 2010. Cancer has eaten up half my family. I think back to all of the things I would have or should have told them. I believe that they are in Heaven. Even though I'm planning on taking myself out, maybe God will have mercy on me & be allowed to go to heaven with them! Keep up the great work, Black Pegasus!!!
I'm so sorry that you're planning to end things. Things must be tremendously hard for you to want to abandon the gift of life! I'm not here to push my thoughts on you. I get it. When you're struggling you don't want to hear the same old platitudes. I just wanted to tell you that I hope things change for you. I hope that someone or something comes into your life that makes you excited about things again. Sometimes it can feel like no matter what you do it's not enough. For you I'm going to pray that clarity comes to you. That you realize taking yourself out will cause severe and everlasting pain to the people around you, even if you might think that isn't the case. I hope you wake up tomorrow and love yourself and decide to give things another chance. It's what we all do. Nobody has a perfect life. Pain is just another aspect of that. But it's a fraction. There are so many other parts...love, joy, sadness, grief. I hope you think it through and decide that God made you for a reason and you haven't fulfilled your promise yet. Whatever you do, please know that you are loved.
If you believe the Gospel, you are saved. 1 Cor Ch 15 Vs 1-4
You aren’t alone, man. Hang on!
Please hang in there, live as long as you can to honor them. You will be together again someday. Hugs and prayers from Michigan.
My Daughter and Mother in law both passed of brain cancer. My husband has myeloma. Use the time you have. Afterwards all there is is silence
Black P I doubt you'll see this, but I'm 33 years old and like you I was taught to push all my emotions down to "be a man" from a young age. I've struggled with opening up to people for a long time but watching you these last couple years and how much you've changed in that regard has helped me in my life more than you'll ever know. Thanks for being a real one dude.
Thank you for bringing back all those great songs!
Go visit, take your 💐 and have those conversations because it can quickly become one sided. Beautifully painful song 🥺🤍🪽
Every once in a while, a song so thought-provoking comes along and it really makes you think. This is absolutely true of The Living Years. It's beautifully written and sad, but I also think it's empowering too. Like, so what if we don't agree on everything. We can talk, listen and try to understand and that's what matters for me xxx
Yes, I'm so sorry about your Mom. ❤. She loved you immensely. Mother's will do anything for their children. I'm so glad you are reacting to old music. Now you understand why the older generation has a different perspective of life. "Sympathy, "empathy, " love, "peace, "respectful of others, "hopeless romantics "etc. etc. Music touches the soul. It's beautiful Melody's and lyrics calm you, make you cry, remind you of days gone by and loved ones no longer with us. There's a song by Jim Croce called, "I've got a name". Everytime I hear it I think of my Dad who passed away a few yrs ago. I always get teary eyed. Maybe one day you can react to it. ❤❤❤
It's about seeing life in a real sense. You can candy coat things and put things off but time waits for no man. Very powerful song , one of my favorites from this band. Great reaction :)
This always brings tears to my eyes. Always love one another ❤
I am the 2nd oldest of , I'm 62.
I have memories of our Dad telling us that he was going to die in his sleep, wake up to Jesus, and will be painting rainbows 🌈 and when Mom comes home, but not too soon, she'll be painting rainbows a well.
He passed in his sleep in 2018, during the Christmas season, we had to wait to bury him until after Christmas. However, my family was scattered coast to coast and everyday, we all sent pictures of slivers of rainbows each day. I know he is with us yet today 🌈
Love Paul Carrack’s voice. Love this song and it is so true. Don’t waste time in holding grudges or be afraid to say “I Love You” to those who are so important to you. Love your reactions, thanks for sharing.
The outpouring of community in this comment section is wonderful to see. This is such a meaningful song...
Always has been beautiful song. It could be said for a Mom, daughter husband & or son.There's no borders for this song. I didn't get to really "talk" to my son & daughter. They died suddenly at 29 & 37 respectively. I always told them, always about how much I loved them though & my husband that passed 2 day's before our 40th anniversary. Say it NOW! Don't wait...
It's a beautiful song. Makes me cry literally, every time.
My Mom died of emphysema in 3/2005. 13 weeks later, my Dad was found laying on the floor of his home. He hadn't been ill, but I think losing my Mom broke his heart.
This song catches just about everyone in the feels man. Especially us older guys who have just recently lost their fathers (mine passed 2 years ago age 87). Every time I hear this song (and I knew it when it came out in the late 80s), I can't help welling up.
Good to hear you still have your Dad and you didn't come from a broken home. That shows through your character. And I'm sure having a newborn makes that last verse all the more poignant for you.
Re this now iconic song, the MIKE in the MECHANICS is the tall bearded lead guitarist in the video with the boy, MIKE RUTHERFORD. MIKE was an original founding member of the legendary Progressive Rock group GENESIS, way back in 1967. He founded Genesis along with his high school pals, which included PETER GABRIEL, who ended up being GENESIS' lead singer (yes, the same GENESIS that PHIL COLLINS would join a few years later as drummer, and then as GABRIEL'S replacement as lead singer).
Back to RUTHERFORD. He was with GENESIS his entire career as bass guitarist and then lead guitarist, and songwriter 1967>2021. Over 50 years. In the mid 80s, when PHIL COLLINS would take time off from GENESIS to do his solo tours and albums, MIKE RUTHERFORD decided to form a side band as another creative outlet for his songwriting. So MIKE formed MIKE + MECHANICS in the mid 80s with a stellar group of musicians.
The lead singer of the Mechanics with that great blues baritone voice is PAUL CARRACK, an already established pop/rock singer who had sung popular singles such as HOW LONG (ACE), TEMPTED (SQUEEZE).
MIKE + MECHANICS had an immediate huge radio single on their first album in 1985 called SILENT RUNNING (CAN YOU HEAR ME?). Well worth reacting to. Had several other good hits on that debut album too like ALL I NEED IS A MIRACLE.
MIKE RUTHERFORD primarily wrote this tune, The Living Years. That's Mike playing that intro Jangle guitar riff to start the song out. CARRACK has such a great voice which is perfect for the melancholy of this tune.
Great heartfelt personal reaction man, and Happy Father's Day.
This song hit me. Back in high school my dad took his own life and he was the man I looked up to. I think that event alone caused me to become more rigid than ever. That was 12 years ago and to this day I wish I could have spent more time with him. I have zero doubt that he is proud of all that I have worked hard to achieve in life. But as a man, losing your dad like that in a critical transitional period of boyhood to manhood is rough. Still have conversations with him to this day.
Ive met a few guys who endured similar tragic events in life. Just know you are not alone.
This song always brings tears to my eyes, makes me think of all the unspoken words between us. 1940-2019.
🇬🇧 This song has had me bawling my eyes out for over 35 years. It was released in December 1988, & became a hit in 1989. ❤🎼🎶
One of the most meaningful songs. Beautifully sung by Paul Carrack. I've been watching your reactions for about a year now, keep them going, this one was so good.
Wish I could call my father. This song says it all.
RIP TK Ward. I love you pop
I will never forget the last thing I remember hearing you say to me... "whats up snot rag"
He was the best
This is a Father's Day song if there ever was one. A song for Dad by Keith Urban is another good one along the same line. Great Reaction. 35 years next month without my Dad on this earth. Make the Call.
Believe it or not, I had this stuck in my head just yesterday. One of the most beautiful and touching songs from the 80's.
Dang, you picked a song that always makes me cry.
BP, you had me tear up when you looked up at the ceiling with prayer hands. My mom died last year. This song is so good. Great Reaction! Thanks!!
I lost my Dad in '97 and Mom in '06, it made me re-asses what was truly important to me in my life, the questions not asked will never be answered - and many of them i didn't have until they passed, the mind was on a different track - caught up in the rat race of life, work - kids - bills - wife... so now, i want my kids and grandkids to know as much as i can think of to tell them, so they don't have the same feelings. being a parent and then a grandparent changes the lens on the life-washed goggles we so confidently or naively marched into the adult world, trying to make our way in life and contribute to the world, just to have life turn back and say - take the time for the simple things and the people around you that are dear to you, time waits for no one.... sorry for your lose Dude...
My dad and I were estranged for years and I was lucky enough to patch things up with him before he passed from a lengthy batttle with cancer. He died on his 57th birthday in 2019. Two days after he passed I took the long way to work and heard this song for the first time.
First, I love your channel. Second, this is a wonderful song with a powerful message.
Mike Rutherford was the guitarist in Genesis, which is where Phil Collins was the drummer. They also have another great song called Silent Running and it has a VERY interesting theme and video. I would be interested in your reaction to that one!! Although it was made back in the 80s, it is very relevant for what is happening today.
This is the one song that brings tears to my eyes every single time I hear it.
One of the deepest, most meaningful songs with gripping lyrics... every time I hear this, I wish I could've had more time with my dad. Lost him at age ten in 1979. Marine Corps, Korean War vet, pastor.
God, I wish people could really grasp this song right now. You can listen as well as you hear... We all need to remember that now.
Thank you. You have no idea how much your reactions - your realness - means to so many of us. Happy Fathers Day.
Much love!!! Thank you 🙏🏽
My mother died when I was 8 years old, so my father, who never remarried, devoted the rest of his life to raising me and my 3 siblings. My father and I butt heads a lot, argued a hell of a lot and came to blows a couple times, but in the end, we became very close and I had many chances to tell him what a great father he was and how much I truly loved him.
This song always makes me cry. I am sorry for the loss of your mother ❤. Obviously, both of your parents did something right!
Yes this song isn't just about giving people their flowers today but also being able to have those tough conversations where you didn't agree this way in the end there is nothing left unsaid and nothing left regretted❤
This song came out when I was in middle school. It definitely hit then, but now, as an adult, with the life experiences, it hits so much harder. It has a greater impact. I lost my dad a year ago to a brain tumor. When I saw him at Easter (the last time I saw him), he didn’t know who I was except for one brief moment when I was leaving and told him I loved him. He couldn’t say anything back, but the spark was in his eyes and I knew he knew it was me.
This is one of my favorite songs. It's so underrated yet so iconic. What we have to remember is that they were just doing the best that they could, just like we are doing. There is no perfect family, we're all just doing the best that we can in our own circumstances. Love expressed 100 years ago might not look like love expressed today. Just do the best you can and try to understand the changing world they grew up in.
Hip hop could never create a song this deep. You need the emotion of the singer, the careful lyrics and a beat that sets the tone and allows you in to join the song.
When I was young this song was all over the radio and Mtv...I always used to tear up whenever it came on....still makes me feel sad now today.I think people who've experienced deep loss will always feel the impact if this song. Its an important message and a beautiful song.thanks for reacting BP!!🎶❤✌
Vince Gill wrote a tribute song for his brother that's reminiscent of this song.
My brother died 2018 and that song haunted me. I heard it in my head on repeat for about a year.
"Go Rest High On That Mountain "
Music you can feel speaks volumes.
My biggest regret is that I wasn't there when my dad was calling out for me just before he drew his last breath. I was 3 miles away and hadn't seen him in 3 months, didn't even know he had been real sick. This regret still haunts me to this very day. Fortunately, I was there for my mom and step-dad when their times came. I knew you'd get this, BP, because you obviously have a good ❤
Excellent Father's Day weekend tribute and anthem from child to father. I loved my father dearly, but I would give anything possible to talk to him once more. Call your father. Have your say...make sure it includes"I love you."
There’s a lesson for all of us in this song.
This song has always hit me hard in my emotions. All these heartfelt conments have totally drained me from crying😢 May we all make time to tell the ones we love how we feel.
This song is a wake up call and a gut punch combination. I love and miss both of my parents and am doing my best to be a good father to my son. It takes less than two seconds to say "I love you."
I lost my dad last Nov 7, He was diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer and a week later he was gone. I have used your channel and others to help me get through the loss. thank you
Still one of the most powerful songs ever written. And sung by one of the most unappreciated vocalists out there in Paul Carrack.
This was one of my father's favorite songs as I was growing up. He always said that if this song doesn't move you then you have no soul. My father was a lifelong pharmacist who finally retired at 85. About a year later, he started having early signs of dementia. He was also diagnosed with afib and was having minor strokes. My beautiful wife and our 4 children live on the street directly behind my parents, so every evening I would go by their house to check on them. My father had gotten to a point where he would sleep until 6pm, get up, eat, watch TV, then go back to sleep. That was his routine. On a Friday evening I stopped by and my father was still in bed. I knocked and went in and asked if he was okay. I got no response back. I turned on the light and he was shaking like was cold but he still would not say a word. I knew he had suffered a massive stroke. I told my mom and called EMS. While we waited, I called Elena and told her. She said that her and the kids would be right over but I didn't want the kids to see their grandfather in this condition and said just meet us at the hospital. Once we got to the hospital, the doctor informed me that he had suffered a massive stroke and at his age of 88, there was really anything that they could do. I just said, make sure he was comfortable. 2 days later, they were able to get him in hospice house. During all this, my niece, who lives 200 miles away with her husband and children, happened to be the only person yet to see him. She was coming up on Wednesday so she could see him one last time. From the night I found him in bed, this song would not stop playing in my head. The following Wednesday, when my niece was coming up, my wife and I got in the car to meet everyone at the hospice house, when I started the car, This song came on the radio. I am not a man who is very emotional, but I knew this was a sign that was letting me know that my father was going to be moving on to a Heavenly place before the end of the day. I was tearing up a little and my wife asked me what was wrong. I told her about how much my father loved this song, and that he was hanging on until my niece got to see him. Once we got to hospice house, everyone was there except for my niece. She got there around noon, and we all got to spend the day together reflecting on the wonderful memories we had of my father. My niece kissed my father on the forehead, said her goodbyes and left around 4pm. We hung around until 5 and as we were leaving, I held my father's hand, told him how much I loved him, not only as my father, but as my hero, and best friend. I kissed his forehead and gave his hand a squeeze, said I love you, and Im proud to be his son. He squeezed my hand back. As we pulled into our driveway, my cell phone rang. It was hospice house calling to let me know he passed 5 minutes after we left. I feel so blessed that we all got to say all the things we had to say to him in "his living years." Happy Father's Day, Pop!!
😢I cry when I hear this. My dad passed along time ago, he was only 56. He died in his sleep I always feel bad because we had a argument. I called to have them come down to help the kids with the Christmas tree. Later that night my sister came to tell me he passed. I was the oldest I was 25.
This is a beautiful, meaningful song. Thank you for your heartfelt reaction.
Our high school choir directors father passed my sophomore year. He had us sing this at our spring concert. He sat in the front row and wept. It was our last concert of the year and his last year at the school.
5 years ago he passed too. 25 of us made the trip and sang this at his memorial. RIP Mr. Palletizer ❤
😢
Thanks, Peg! This song is so beautiful and impactful... it almost always makes me cry... (although I am lucky to remain close with my family)... I truly appreciate your reaction...
This song always makes me teary. My mom unalived herself completely unexpectedly when I was 15 yrs old. This month was the 30th anniversary. I never got to say goodbye. Definitely tell the ones u love as much as you can because you just never know 😢
BP, have you ever thought about bringing your dad on to react to some of the songs he grew up listening to? And if he doesn't want to go on camera, ask him to share some music from his personal favorites list that you can react to, and widen your musical exposure even more!
