  • Mike & The Mechanics -The Living Years (Live at Shepherds Bush)
    Mike & The Mechanics was formed in 1985 by Mike Rutherford of Genesis as a separate project to run alongside his work with Phil Collins and Tony Banks. They released their eponymous debut album the same year featuring vocals from both Paul Carrack (ex of Ace) and Paul Young (ex of Sad Café) and had an immediate hit with Silent Running. This was followed a string of further hit singles and albums as gaps in the Genesis schedule permitted.
    In 2004 the band reunited for the first time since the sad death of Paul Young in 2000 and released a new studio album Rewired. With Paul Carrack now handling all the lead vocals they went out on the road across Europe, culminating in this outstanding performance at London's Shepherds Bush Empire.
    The show features four tracks from the new album, tracks from all their other albums and a greatest hits list that includes such classics as Silent Runing, Another Cup Of Coffee, Beggar On A Beach Of Gold, Over My Shoulder, Word Of Mouth and of course The Living Years.

    I was 21 when Dad died. I had just come from the hospital when they called to tell me he passed. I miss him. I see his strong hands when I close my eyes. Just one more hug... just one more hug.

    Without question Mike Rutherford's lyrics are powerful, however Paul Carrack's vocals are what makes the song come breathing at you from his heart.

      B.A. Robertson`s lyrics and song..Co write M.Rutherford..Carrack`s father also died, when Paul had 11 years..That s the one of the reasons, WHY song is so , so deep and Powerful..Have a nice time, and God Save you, all..

    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 wat 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)
