Mike & The Mechanics - The Living Years

[gokulong]

Y el sonido weon?????

[NCmariposa]

so, is this a silent movie or what? No music

[Nitefawn]

What happened to the audia? Did the video Nappers take it. Like they have some of the others?

[ozzi777stryper]

Magnifica cancion y magnifico mensaje

[tombutleruk]

3:30 into the song, there's Maggie Jones in the choir who played Blanche in Coronation Street, who sadly died today.

[eugenecheese]

Hi

The Lady in question is not Maggie Jones,

it is my wife Margaret. I am standing two rows behind her

[689321546]

that sucks

[eugenecheese]

If you bothered to read the comments, you would see that the authorities removed the sound

[hvuseenmemonster]

haha i agree! but thank you for posting it anyway. :)

[rage1umr]

@eugenecheese:

If *you* had even the slightest consideration for your viewers, you would remove the video (optionally re-posting it *with* audio). The only thing more irritating than this is videos with a swapped audio track.

[fuckfacit]

What a crock of shit WHAT A GODDAMN CROCK OF SHIT!

[6ft6cutie]

All of you folks out there in YouTube land: I'm not going to give free publicity, and, help bring bring yet more undeserving profits to yet another big corporation (but, I agree to pay the artists) but, someone else on this page posted a comment that should give you a fairly strong hint as to a related website where to go to look at a lot of classic videos. I trust that everyone will eventually find that page and other websites to visit, view videos and legally download songs.

[vickydabomb09]

OMG I LV ITTTTTTTTTT RLLY I DO

[pannoni1]

Atlantic is a subisidary of Warner Brothers! :( YT jumped the shark around New Year's 2009!

[Cartesiantheater]

In fact, what makes this greedy sin worst of all is that the hit song was a cover.... lame.

[felipeledesma]

super thrue

[eugenecheese]

The Authorities Removed the sound for copyright reasons. I put up the video because I, my wife and two friends are in the choir in the video

[gamegoof]

As performers in this audio clip, you should be allowed to do what you will with it, old school, bloated record companies days are numbered, mark my words.

[RUNNINGHORSE1]

Thats Fucked Up ......

[62reasons]

Copyright: sigh!

What a great song; and my father died a few years ago and THIS was the song I turned to. But not here.

Understood.

[dannymartin95]

fuck copyright youtube need to get a grip!

[Cartesiantheater]

what a bunch of faggots. It's not like this video is somehow going to stop people from buying the album. If we want to steal it, it is very easy to do. Lame... LAME. I'm going to go to my prefered website and listen to this song 100 times in a row for free.

[shazbot10]

That's really cool that you guys actually sang on one of the greatest songs ever written. As for the "authorities" removing the sound.. where else are we supposed to see these great videos, MTV? yeah right

[3cheekymonkeys]

The song always makes me cry. I fell out with my Dad shortly before I was to make him a grandfather and we didn't speak to each other by my own choosing. We never made it up - I was going to get in contact a few years later and mend the bridge between us but he died suddenly. I live with regret. I think about him every day. And I love this song, though it's so very painful, it's nice to know I'm not alone. I wasn't there that morning when my father passed away...

[koalasarah]

I can't believe when this played on the radio back in the day that the second verse was cut.  Why?? When I bought the tape and heard the missing verse, I couldn't imagine hearing the song without it.

[Uri777]

Estamos aquí por una razón, si realmente primero comenzáramos por buscar dentro de nosotros, muchas cosas serian mas fáciles.

Gracias a D`s aun conservo a mis padres y cada vez mas reflexiono sobre mi papel. Leía que cuando un padre le da algo a su hijo ambos sonríen, pero cuando un hijo le a su padre, el llora. Acérquese a los suyos no hay nada mas bello y sublime que transmitir y recibir amor. Agradezca a D`s por permitirle compartir cada día de su vida

[pepepalomino]

This song is allmost what happened with my father and me, he left our country when i was 5 years old and we never had the chance to talk until i was 33 years old, now we are living in the same country, but we are almost two strangers, sometimes i think we really lost our chance of being father and son.

[badfinger111]

Thank's red05hemi for sharing.

Yep, it's about that time sir...

[Cookgwana]

out 2 all the dads my dad was a cunt 2 me but i still love him xxxx

[red05hemi]

tell him!

[idaltuguy]

My mom used to play this song, and tell my brother and I not to fight, cause something could happen to each other and we would both feel terrible. This is a good song. It almost reminds me of Christopher Cross song, with a synthesizer behind it.

[properbabez]

this song reminds me of my dad... he fell out with his dad big time and only got 2 years with him b4 he died! he never got to tell him he loved him... and now everytime he hears this song he crys! i love my dad to pieces but he is in canada and me i am in the uk.... i never wnat that to happen to us! x

[keren2813]

my Husband lost his brother to suicide, they hadn't spoken for years over a stupig argument, so he never got to tell him all the things he had to say, so everytime he hears this song, he is in pieces, so its not just mums and dads we should make peace with, its all family, God Bless to you all

[Static876]

My Dad and I have not gotten along since we discovered his double. Before the discovery of his double life things were'nt perfect between us, I often wished death upon him because of the lies he told and the pain he put my Mother through becauseof his double life. We tried to get along but bitterness and anger would always destroy my efforts. Until one day on a family outing to the country this song was played on the radio. Tears streamed down my face and right then and there i forgave my father

[ks6string]

What a great song. Love My Dad to pieces. He only has 6 months left. Told him we'd live it up til then

[buddymaks]

Am looking for the song played by same difference with lyrics If you return to the beginning can one help?

[gmajorspresents]

Over the top. A masterpiece. GMAJORSPRESENTS NYC.

[schubie1995]

in 1988 my dad lost his dad, and a week later this song came out. every time i hear this song i tear up

[jonnoafc]

I am a recovering alcoholic who put my family through hell, I've made amends with my Dad and if you have anything wrong with your parents.....make it up now, while they are still here!!!!!! God Bless you!

[getzppnya]

Well said. God Bless You jonnoafc.

[oldtimerocker65]

How right you are.My alcholic father died in 92.I never truly knew him.I decided to drink myself to death,then I had a son that I begged GOD not to let what happened to me happen to him.That was in 2000, not a day goes by I don't tell my boys I love them, and thank GOD for my Soberity.

[lukessummer]

Well said

[The80sTeam]

One of the most important & powerful songs of all time. The lyrics are genius & so very very true (the fact that it really is as simple as the song states but yet at the same time so very hard). It's full of great emotion & sends a shiver down the spine everytime you hear it (just what the best music should do). It was co-written by Rutherford and B.A Robertson, both of whom had at that time lost their fathers. It Reached number 1 in the USA & Australia. Timeless epic.

[delamole79]

This version makes me think even more in compare with the other ones. I am absolutely certain and positive that good parents are the greatest wealth one can possess. It's just because they not only make the person noble but also generous and kind in daily conduct.

[para1965]

My dad was killed when I was 12 and there's not a day goes by when I don't miss him. This song brings a lump to my throat everytime I hear it as the day before his death we argued over the phone and on the way home from school I made an off the cuff remark about wishing he was dead to a friend. When I got home I was met by the police with my tearful mother. I have had to live with this for 30 years!!. Treasure every moment with your families and Dad........I love you and I am so very sorry X RIP

[xxMistressVampirexx]

my dad is the best. may we never lose our bond together.

[jessicajaramillo911]

I swear this song makes me cry when I hear it. It really reminds me of my dear Dad.. After 17 years I still miss him and yes when he died it was an early morning and my oldest doughter's birthday. Tell an I love you to all the ones you love when they can still hear you and while stil alive.

[stresslie58]

I'm right there with you friend.

it was 16 years ago when my dad was killed.

I still don't forgive myself for the times I was short with him and not being able to tell him I was sorry.

[nadiaholmes]

in loving memory of my dear dad. i wish we could have another christmas together.

[Gravsy33]

a woman that loved and cared for me so much and all I could do was try and ruin my dadshappiness. I apologise here and now SORRY DAD. I LOVE YOU x

[Gravsy33]

I still have my dad, I hurt myfamily in a big way. I cant even talk to my dad without crying. I didnt murder anybody or anything like that. I tried to split him and my stepmum up. It kills me to this day that I have lost my dad to

[slimstvr]

Gravsy

can't speak for your dad, I can only speak as a dad, who misses his own son

he still loves you, it's the beginning of a new year, and a new day, call him, he wants things right as much as you do

[harry544]

ein wunderschönes lied. gam

[Jerzkid609]

My,dad died from cancer of December,11,2004! And I still talk to him! In spirit! And tell him how much I love him! He can hear me from HEAVEN!

[lachiripa2001]

Just for this song I got to tell my father how much I love him days before he died. I apologized to him too. And I asked him to forgive me for all wrong I did. this song made me understand things we do not relized until someone we love die. It's a great song.

[Leedsboy13]

IT'S ALSO A TEAR JERKER

[fifitrooper]

I wish that i could tell my father in the living years, how much I apprciated him, and loved/love him! I miss him dearly!

[dlpine]

i had a totally positive relationship with my dad. he died when i was twenty and away at college two weeks before christmas. i was devestated. missed all my finals which killed that semester, then skipped the next. i could not function. and it took years before i could talk about him without crying.

[antheast]

miss him loads

[cheerupny]

Is this video available without the subtitles?

[CalikoKat]

I wasnt there that morning when my father passed away...

[antheast]

i was the same

[mathewbass78]

Made me think about my relationship with my father.

[joh2]

An interesting band approach - meant to be as a side project by Mike Rutherford to Genesis, it became incredibly popular in its own right!
