That was a really honest review. Well done giving all the lyrics and then the details about the song. This song came out when I was 28 years old. I would listen to it over and over. After that, I finally began to talk to my Dad - something that was a long time in coming. It gave me the courage to confront the things that I had been too afraid to confront. 10 years later, I wrote a letter to my Dad about "burying the hatchet" because I was tired of being angry and instead wanted to focus on the gifts he gave me. Imagine my shock, when my Dad said to me "Tell me if I have this wrong: are you saying I'm NOT a complete failure as a father?" Then he hung his head. We tend to think our parents are made of titanium or something. Like they can't possibly be hurt by what we say. I'm very glad to say that our relationship changed drastically that day and I was able to praise him for all the things I loved about him. Bitterness is a very poor bedfellow. It's better to work it out. And all of us have a brief time on this planet, even those who live to be 87 years old. My dad passed in 2015, and I got to tell him I loved him a week before he passed, and he got to tell me he loved me too that same day. Sometimes songs are better when they make you go deeper instead of just skimming over the top of things.
First time visitor here. I love the way you react, and your no nonsense format. I'm 66 and the way you listen to the song reminds me of the way I used to do it back in the 60's and 70's. No video or internet, no MTV yet. I'd buy the LP, read everything on the liner notes, plug in my cheap headphones and concentrate on the music without distraction. Thoroughly enjoyed your honest reaction to a beautiful song, thank you from Auckland, New Zealand.
Right when i saw your video, I was immediately drawn to you , and I started crying. You have such a wholesomeness about you. I enjoyed watching the emotions on your face and how you processed the video.
A great life lesson for us all, get your arses out and go and see your parents, grandparents and friends and let grievances go early. We're all in the queue for the final escalator.
What a beautiful reaction to a great song. I am a new subscriber to your channel. Please don’t stop reacting to songs, we need people with heart and love in it to just sometimes help us see our faults and maybe we won’t have to regret it later. I am grateful for finding your channel. Thank you!!
@@reactionswitherin5504 Erin, it’s a privilege to write kind words for your reaction. You showed the us the great heart you have. It’s too bad it don’t rub off on so much of our population. There’s so much hate these days and it worries me. Hope you never change. Tell your parents thanks for raising such a great daughter!!
Brilliant reaction Erin, not sure if you were watching the official video while listening to the music, if not i suggest you do as the video puts even more emotion into the lyrics.

Thank you so much for your comment! I am glad this song helped you and your dad’s relationship! ❤️
One of the most powerful songs to roll out of the 80's. They really don't write them like this anymore. Thanks for reacting to this masterpiece.
This song got me to reconcile with my father about 10 years ago. Things are OK now. He'll be 78 soon enough
This makes me so happy to hear! 😊
You are truly blessed

“ I’m sure I heard his echo in my baby’s new born tears” makes me cry every time. This song is sacred.

I was not watching the music video but I will definitely check it out. Thanks David! 😊
musica maravilhosa linda linda.
You should give your parents a hug for the 'agree to disagree' rule. To few people have that ability.
There is another song I would give anything if you would listen. The song is Time by The Alan Project! It hits you right in the feels!😉🙏
Should be Alan Parsons Project!
