Lyrics:
Looking back over my shoulder
I can see that look in your eye
I never dreamed it could be over
I never wanted to say goodbye
Looking back over my shoulder
With an aching deep in my heart
I wish we were starting over
Oh instead of drifting so far apart
Everybody told me you were leaving
Funny I should be the last to know
Baby please tell me that I'm dreaming
I just never want to let you go
Looking back over my shoulder
I can see that look in your eye
Turning my heart over and over
I never wanted to say goodbye
I don't mind everybody laughing
But it's enough to make a grown man cry
Cos I can feel you slipping through my fingers
I don't even know the reason why
Every day it's a losing battle
Just to smile and hold my head up high
Could it be that we belong together
Baby won't you give me one more try
One more try
Looking back over my shoulder
I can see that look in your eye
I never dreamed it could be over
I never wanted to say goodbye
Looking back over my shoulder
Oh with an aching feeling inside
Cutting me up, deeper and deeper
Fills me with a sadness that I can't hide
Looking back over my shoulder
I can see that look in your eye
I never dreamed no no it could be over
I never wanted to say goodbye
Looking back over my shoulder
Oh with an aching feeling inside
Cutting me up, deeper and deeper
Fills me with a sadness that I can't hide
Looking back over my shoulder

I'm 72 and this is still one of my favourite songs - good to know I'm still "high quality vintage" - ha, ha, ha
yes mylady u are =))
Lots of love ❤️
❤❤❤
And another retired rock chick here still loving the music. Love from remote parts of Lincolnshire.
@@stuckintha90s - never "stuck" anywhere where music is concerned.50's to today, I'm a taker !
I'm only 31 and I love this song. I never saw the music video until just now. It's so wholesome and sweet and innocent. Artists nowadays could learn a thing or two.
Looking back, over my shoulder.
With an aching, deep in my heart.
Man this hits hard for us who want the magical times of the 80s back.
Someone pin this comment...
Verdade meu amigo, tenho muitas saudades dos anos 80, esse ano completo meus 49 anos,,!!!
This was mid 90s
I'm only 30 but I get nostalgic as well
Por incrível que pareça consegui voltar pra lá através de uma máquina do tempo chamada amor! ❤
This group came to my mind with it's lyrics. I'm 75. This is a memorable song for many reasons the way my life has unfolded.
Kathryn Wright Try listening to 'The Living Years" You want meaningful lyrics...
I absolutely adore the fact that people who are double my age use UA-cam.
@@KingDomsKingdom85 there are even people who are half your age or people just few years older and younger
I love mike and the mechanics my dad loved them. I caught him a few times crying to songs. He would completely be overwhelmed and choked up. What ever they ment to him he loved them 😢 11 years without my loved paps. Miss him so much. X
so sorry😢
Não se preocupe, você não é o único ouvindo esta obra-prima em 2024 ⭐

I'm a huge metalhead but I've always thought this was one of the best songs ever. Such a feelgood and positive song.
I'm sat here with my Pantera t shirt on missing the girl I love
@@richardwadsworth9909 If it's because the relationship ended please don't do as I did, and never get over it. Mourn the loss for a while, but soon try and put it behind you or it will eat away at you for years. I know easier said than accomplished right? Still try.
I'm a massive hip hop head but songs like this seem to reach many of us regardless of our genre preference.
Metalheadz kenn ich. Denke ich bin einer. Kann mich an so etwas Besonderes erinnern. Schön.
@@richardwadsworth9909 Cowboys from hell?
This song never gets old I sung it as a kid and now I'm a full grown man with a family.... Super sweet music
I wanna wish a Happy early 73rd Birthday 🎂 to Mike&The Mechanics Mike Rutherford!!!
I’m 74 and can’t take this song out of my head..
This was my dad`s favorite song , with this kind of music you will stay a happy man now i know why he was always happy. RIP DAD
I didn't know your Dad, but RIP
you know the best thing is to remember the nice time you had with your dad,
Rest in peace I love this song
Let's not forget the living years...
Blessings to Dad & Son ... beautiful music for indelible & incredible memories
I had the privilege to see them playing live in Vredenberg Utrecht ealy '90. Magnificent performance with the superb voice of Paul Carrack completing the instrumental skills of the rest of the band
One of the best songs ever made.
You can understand every single word sung.
It's a classic
Oh boy I certainly do
Absolutely !
Amen ❤❤❤❤

Great song! ❤

Paul Carracks voice is completely slept on ! This man easily has one of the finest UK voices of all time!
Indeed lol great voice man
amen!
Sheffield is a hotbed for great singers Joe Cocker was class too
He does but on this song the background singer sounds a better fit for this song.
@@mikej810 wt hell are you talking about, this guys improv on vocals give this song a unique feel, if there was just "normal" singing the main melody, this would never have so much emotion like it has. The added background singers is a genious touch of course :)
Just played this at my 61yrs old brothers funeral...breaks my heart he sang it so beautiful...miss you brother tom xxx
I'm here in 2024 .. Will always be one of my favourites ❤

This and The Living Years are my M&TM's all time favourites. They signify growing up in late 80s early 90s. Great lyrics, great voices, great band!
Same here mate 83 ✌️
I remember coming home from school when I was a teenager in the nineties and hearing this song on the radio in my room. Those were the good music times were you didn't want to say goodbye to. It fills me with sadness that I can't hide.
i just love your comment man! So beautifull!
That whistle part is just awesome
But why, I could never succeed to do that whistle
The whole song is awesome.
i love lt too. my dad whistled so well too. love it!
Indeed I tried and... My neighbor threatened to shoot me!
@@Bertrand146 2:01 Get ready to DUCK!
I remeber I was 5 and out of the blue this song came to my mind and I started to sing. It was a bus trip to my grandparents' house with my cousins. 28 years spent and I cant forget that moment . The 90's have a vibe that I cant explain...
Magical is the word you've been searching for.
My fav band. Awesome! Mike + The Mechanics. Mike Rutherford, Paul Carrack & the late great Paul Young.
I’ll admit I just found this....playing it over and over. Awesome when music evokes such deep emotion. Love this. An instant favorite.
bet you still haven't stopped listening yet
I hope this songs still makes you happy!🙏
Only a million views? For a masterpiece like this, its criminal.
I agree my friend classic tune
really its criminal and insensitive people
Justice please!!!
People canbe fickle, it's hard work correcting that ;) Ciao 4 Now
@@rroman3891 Not the point.
I was 13 when this song came out. The only way to hear it was on radio and TV and I couldn't get enough.
Looking back, I can see why. The melancholic lyrics on top of the upbeat melody are an unforgettable match. I still love this song.
One of my earliest memories in the 90's.... This music hits different 😊
Thought it was 80s ?
@@danielstokoe6564 I hadn't been born yet in the 80's ☺
As a mechanic myself I could never produce such a good piece
😂😂😂😂😂 good one.
This song deserves way more than 2.5 million views!
Its too silent... copystriked version was better ;_;
And by extension, this comment deserves way more than 17 likes 😂
2.7 mil. Now:)
I’ll keep playing this song to make it 10 Million views I’m a huge fan of Mike +The Mechanics 🧰
For sure💕
Mike Rutherford was one of the few musicians being member of two great bands.
Ladies and gentlemen, kids of all ages; this is how you do it. Just pure, timeless class.
Only a few kids nowadays know what class means!
What a voice! Paul Carrack has one of the best voices ever
In ace. Squeeze. Mike and the mechanics and a solo arist
Paul singing this song: ua-cam.com/video/P5zBixANahU/v-deo.html
Yes
Sure he has!!!
@@mykeymay He used to be with Ace
They don't make great music like this any more🥺🥺
I agree!!! That's why we have to YT and listen to theses songs.🤩🤩
I totally agree with you all
You must be deaf, or asleep! All sorts of wonderful music is out there. And let's face it: Mikes other band, Genesis, is far superior to this one. And Steve Hackett is keeping their music alive. As are Phil and Tony.
@@robertfranklin8704 Do you understand what subjectivity means? It means that people can have their own opinions, especially in terms of taste. If this person does not like modern music, they're neither objectively right nor wrong about it. Just as I think that Genesis's music is terrible, so nothing "to face" here.
@@Raisera Everybody has an opinion, and you are allowed yours. It does NOT mean everybody's word holds the same value, leastwise not to those of us who, against the drift of Modernism, uphold objective standards. Down Coke, hot dogs, and meat pies if you like, your choice. I will still maintain that my mango juice and vego salad is the healthier, saner option. Objectively. Thanks, R Franklin, M. A. (Hons); M. Phil.

Came here and I've been over it since then. It's a perfect emotional therapy
I love this song, always will, its uplifting comforting and his voice is calming, memories
Yeah, I need this kind of music to uplift me in the awful environment I am now default of being surrendering by the right people.

@@lalouloune6156 What do you mean by that?
perfect voice
@@radza81krstic64 I think it pretty obvious 🙄
The whistle, is really outside this world! What a nice song, a song with real nostalgia... Iove it, ever since my childhood
This is one of the best songs ever
Am 40yrs old but I remember the good old days as teenager when this piece of music used to be played on TV station. This song has awaken good memories of my beautiful country I left 15yrs ago
What a song what a song...Paul is the most amazing leading vocalist 💕
greats music for spirits
true, one of the best pop-voices ever
Man with the golden voice
This is a classic 👌 but then Mike and the Mechanics are priceless. Loved them since they first started out. ❤
Now that is music..... 3 gifted guys with guitars and amazing vocals
Yes and one of them just happens to be the guitarist from Genesis who is also one of the only two original members remaining. Obviously I'm talking about Mike Rutherford who is such an UNDERRATED guitarist
@@joshuavenables7912 So this is his side project?
@@miloseviczarko45Yep, and a very successful one at that!
Good music never dies
I'm Brazilian and this song was remarkable in my life when I was just a child. Thank you very much guys for this treasure in our last times that have no more melodies this way.
Jonathan S. Arias estamos na mesma, muita nostalgia.
@@tyanazn, verdade! (:
Verdade.. 👍
Yes. Where are all the melodies like this now? Pop Music now is just r&b with no substance 👎🏻
Me too :(
Every love story is linked to a song and that bond will last forever in the memories of those who lived it.
Truly Legendary. Glad to have this apart of my cassettes.One of the greatest tracks, Mike + The Mechanics ever made, from such an iconic album.
I love this song it has always been one of my favorites and Paul Carrack's vocals is just awesome
Mike was so good at creating incredible hits as the decades progressed and music changed.

Clássico! Impossível não lembrar dos anos 90. Uma das melhores músicas já feitas em todos os tempos. Fez parte da trilha sonora de uma novela da Globo, Cara & Coroa, em 1995.

Just heard this song live at a Phill Collins concert as a warmup, pure awesomeness!
I still love this song after all these years! 😊💜
Never gets old
Kind of song that will make a grown up
Man cry. Amazing!
Will remain a hit for decades...
One of the best songs from the 90's. I was born in 1991 so I remember hearing this song on the swedish radio back then, even though I was extremely young...
These guys seem to "hit the mark" with so many of their songs - the lyrics so clever and the delivery beyond compare! Class and genius....and then add Paul Carrack one of the most underrated vocalists of all time....
Seen Paul carrick so many times but this is with doubt everyone’s favourite, the man has an amazing voice
I have been replaying it over 20 times today, I really needed it today😢
I am not alone then 🥰❤️
Know the feeling 🙏
My friend passed away 2 years ago age 28 and this was his funeral song I've came to love it today's his 2 year anniversary and I'm back again x
So sorry for you loss x
Sorry for your loss- I hope it gets easier for you.
@@rachkate76 that is so nice
Sorry to hear, what a song. I hope you have some great memories
I’m so sorry ❤😢
I remember this as a child when played on Mtv, turned the volume at max, I was fascinatsd by the beauty of the first couple beauty in this video. And this song brought so much joy, it still does...I love this man's voice, the band, you're soooo amazing!
A gem. A song with meaning for many of us on here. For that I am almost sure.
One of the most played songs from the 90s , a CLASSIC!
Every 80s band has a transitional to 90s with great songs, this is one!

Eu tinha apenas 6 anos de idade nessa época. Uma década de grandes artistas, grandes talentos.
This song is from 1995, but so very 80s. And I love it for that.
I heard it for the first time in the summer of 1988. I guess that’s why it sounds 80-ish :)

@ifyouwantbochin Oh the irony.
What about 2020??
Musical, romantic, and memorable. A classic.
Uma das melhores músicas da época de ouro. Foi ouví-la hoje na Rádio que tudo veio abaixo, mais de 20 anos passados.
What a great song, it makes me so happy, brings back memories from my childhood.❤️
Caramba! Até que enfim encontrei essa música, e o cara que canta...kkk à vibe dessa música é sensacional!
Foi trilha sonora internacional da novela Cara e Coroa de 1995...a trilha toda é senssacinal
Saudades.........
Show! Amo essas música. E Paul Cusack é fantástico. Ouvir êle cantar eleva o meu astral.
My dad once gave me one CD of "Mike and the mechanics", so when I was little I loved them;) They were kind of my childhood even tho it's an *older* band!! I'm 16 now and still love to listen to them😉
Simply awesome.
Priceless.
Thank you Mike and the mechanics
Rest in peace, Paul Young - One of the fist songs I remember listening to on a summer camp back in the early 90's.

That whistle solo 👌❤️
Fell in love with this song last year, just thought it was uplifting and he has a powerful voice. Just went through a breakup and now this song hits hard.
My five year old girl loves this song bless her 🥰
Never gets old
Saw them about 4 weeks ago in Oxford UK. Was an absolutely brilliant show. They said they'd like to come back next year! Well hopefully, as I'll go again. Nic Collins stood in for his dad which is the norm anyway nowadays. Saying that, I thought it was his dad playing, so so good.
such a nostalgic song, I had my 6 or 7 years old when I used to sing some songs and this was definly one of the 90's that I loved the most. music is the most beautiful creation of human beings.
