The greatest singer the uk ever had, hands down, Paul carrack has it all in a vocal, delivered perfectly every time, masterclass, been to see him live maybe 5 times always a true perfectionist, and a lovely guy, keep it goin Paul, we need u forever, 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I remember when this song came out. Was a huge Mike and Mechanics fan and still am. I bought the cassette and then it hit me... Tears... I still have my Dad today but I know the day is coming.
Paul and Mike Rutherford created one of the greatest songs ever written. Take these words to heart…mend as many fences as you can before your time is up. ❤️😔
"The Living Years" is one of the best songs of alltime by the brilliant Paul Carrack and his backing group! Can listen to this song over and over and never tire!! God bless, Paul!!🥰🤩❤🙏🙏🙏
I swear I saw him play in Bloomington Minnesota in 1987 playing keys for Roger Waters on the Radio KAOS tour. He played a solo that blew my 17 year old mind away. And his voice was phenomenal. This song reminds me of my own dad. What a testimony this man had reached into his heart to share with others who felt and feel the same. Much love.
No matter how many times I hear The Living Years I still get goosebumps that I got the first time I heard it at Christmas 1988... Btw, I'll be 72 years young this Christmas.
I didn't have as they say that Ward Cleaver relationship with my father, but I really miss him, wished things were better, but I've learned & am trying to not copy that with my son. I hold him in my thoughts daily & am.glad I did things differently as he grew up , to be therr for him as he got older
Still after all those years the man with the golden voice.

What a great song by Mike , what a great voice by paul.
written by BA Robertson and Mike Rutherford. 🙂
First recorded on a MIKE AND THE MECHANICS album.
The best M&M albums are those with Paul Carrack.

I totally relate to what you said. Exactly the same!!
This song is absolutely one of the greatest written tunes of that era!
Paul’s vocals are unmatched!
Paul carrac is definetly one of my favorite male singers. He deserves so much more cred for his musicianship. ❤

It was actually written by Mike Rutherford and B.A. Robertson 👍
Paul didn't write it but his father passed away when Paul was 10, so he said he could relate to the lyrics
His voice is still as beautiful as when I first heard him sing 20 years ago.
PERFECT. THANKS FOR SHARING

My favorite song, I always think of my deceased father. I still miss him, even though he passed away over 25 years ago

Same here. My father died age 47, 40 years ago. This song always makes me think of him.

Seen Paul a few times. Legend.
Total legend
Carrack is a true master!
His voice is as pure as it was in the 70s. What a legend!
They used to play this to us in school assembly. I never understood why until I was in my late 30s and a father
Ranks right up there with Dan Fogelberg’s “Leader of the Band” when it comes to feeling the emotion of fatherhood!
Miss you, mom. 😔 01/17/2011

Merry Christmas to ALL the lonely dads out there 😂
Mike and Mechanics was a good band in the 70s
They were not formed until mid eighties.
