The line "Teach the children quietly for someday Sons and Daughters will rise up and fight while we stood still" is so relative for what is happening today!!!!
Mike + The Mechanics is a band that is very underrated. Mike Rutherford was a member of the group Genesis, which we know were responsible for many hits in the 70's - 90's and produced superstars such as Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel. Rutherford wanted to do some side work so he created this band. Paul Carrack has a beautiful voice and was a member of the bands Ace, Squeeze and Roxy Music, as well as a hit-making solo career. Many people don't realize when they are listening to one of the hit songs from these bands that it was Carrack on vocals... "How Long" by Ace & "Tempted" by Squeeze for example. There are other songs from Mike + The Mechanics that deserve a listen. In the same vein with an even more powerful message is "The Living Years"! Other awesome offerings include: "Taken In", "All I Need Is a Miracle", and "Mea Culpa". The lead singer for the last two songs were Paul Young, another artist with a brilliant voice. Sadly, he passed away in 2000.
Microphone PLUS The Mechanics behind it all! Can you hear ME? Can you hear me running, calling YOU? Who am I? A>I> maybe? or Natural Organic intelligence, using tech to tell you something/maybe? Can you hear me running? Can you hear me calling you^
Another great song from them I recommend listening to is "All I Need Is A Miracle". Thank you for going down the Mike And The Mechanics rabbit hole. This group is very underrated but so talented.
This song was all over the radio and as a middle schooler i was captivated by it but now at 50 the lyrics give me chills at how orwellian the song is 😮
I'm so glad you did this song! Great reaction. This video goes straight into the next video, in a 3 video series, and that one is All I Need Is A Miracle.
I just came across your channel today and had to watch you reviewing Silent Running. One of my favorite songs, crazy how this song speaks to what is happening right now in the world we are living in. Doesn't matter if I am at home or in the grocery store listening to this song, it gives me goosebumps. God bless you both and can't wait to watch more of your videos.
This song was so futuristic. Alot of churches although church and state are suppose to be separate are now being controlled . We've been lied to and our children are being indoctrinated. God said, Look to me not man. Pray!!
This song about the government I knew the song from growing up in the 80s but I use to listen to Alex Jones along time ago and he put me up on game…But I most definitely remember from when I was a kid 80s is my favorite genre!
The most prophetic song I've ever heard...written in the 80's about a man from the future who travels back in time to warn his wife and kids about a new civil war.... Eerily similar to 2024...gave me goosebumps then and even scarier today...open your eyes people❤️❤️💯🇺🇸
I knew once you'd listened to The Living Years you wouldn't be able to resist more MATM, this song was once again written by Mike Rutherford and B.A.Robertson (who had a number of solo hits himself),and Paul Carrack again provided the vocals, the song title was just Silent Running, but was extended to On Dangerous Ground after it was chosen to be in the film of the same name, the film was released in America under the title Choke Canyon, more reactions to them please
This song really means a lot to those of us. Who read Soldier of Fortune as a teen. And were scared to death that either the United States or the Soviet Union would press the button. And kill almost everything.
Thank you Shawn and Mel for your amazing reaction to this amazing song!!!! I was just shy of a teenager when this song came out.......I couldn't believe how much power and strength it had. This song grabs you.....makes you think....makes you feel.....makes you wake up and pay attention. The message in this song is so beautiful and it made my heart so happy that you saw that message and embraced it. Live with faith....live with love.....let the high commander guide you and lead you to good things! This song was such an overlooked and undervalued song back then.......I always felt and knew it deserved so much more exposure and recognition than it got .....but it always remains a classic! Thank you for your reaction and your response to this classic song. I hope more get to witness and feel the intensity of this song!!!!!! You two are amazing!!!!!!!!!
This song reminds me of thunderstorms in California when I was a kid! I had to look up the video because we couldn’t afford MTV but it’s making me feel like turning 50😂 they always played this song at candlestick park at Giants games
You are right! This is a deep message. Great pick! We all need to be reminded about what could and may happen. Particularly now with Chat GPT coming at our doorsteps.
You really should try " Beggar on a beach of gold " " Another cup of coffee " " Mea Culpa " by this band they are fantastic songs but for me " Something to believe in " is a must
I always took this as being almost like a tiny SciFi film of a dystopian state and his father is in the High Command of the Resistance. You hope he succeeds and is reunited with his family.. You can just close your eyes and picture it like a film. How many songs can produce a mental film like that these days? In the past there were plenty of them. Think of Jeff Wayne's "War of the Worlds" (especially "Thunder Child") which held me spellbound (listening in headphones) as a child myself, Jethro Tull's "Crossfire", Rush (loads of examples) "Xanadu", "2112", "The Necromancer", "Cygnus X1" etc. Barclay James Harvest "Cheap the Bullet" - you HAVE to review this one !!!!!
Try this tune, Folks...by Al Stewart (year of the cat) The title is "Roads To Moscow" It chronicles a Russian soldier behind German lines as he attempts to return to his Russian home, unaware of what a terrible fate he's forced to endure. I believe you can appreciate the song. Best to you both!
This song is about a scientist being transported 5'000 or some such years, and he sees the downfall of society and he's trying to tell his son/family about the upcoming events. Saying " can you hear me calling you"
To Shawna d Mel, this song is about war. Situations going on in The UK in the 1980’s. The injustices with the Soviet Union and the KPG! However, because this song is so prophetic! Plus the video in my opinion could lead one to believe that The guy who gave Tommy the key is a Messenger from Heaven. Informing us all about the Spiritual War/battle in Heaven and on Earth. When Scripture is brought into the lyrics about praying to our Heavenly Father. I believe that God is telling us to listen to him, because he’s calling us to Rise up and fight where our ancestors stood still. So when Tommy’s father said he needed his help, that’s God coming to get his children to help fight in His Spiritual Battle. Because when we die, our mission is fulfilled! I can go on and on. But I don’t want to confuse anyone! But this is what I got out of it. The war is at our footsteps. In Heaven and literally on Earth!
Wow! I hadn't seen that video for a long time and I enjoyed it, until the last scene where the mom walks into her son's room just as he disappears. You see I just lost my beloved dog of 12 years just two days ago when she suddenly and without warning died in my arms, I watched as the light in her eyes slowly disappeared 😪. That scene made me think of her, what a heart wrenching experience. I hope none of your followers have to go through this, I feel like I just lost my best friend!
I'm so sorry. It hurts so bad when our fur babies pass. If they could only live a little longer, though, we would only grow more attached. My condolences.
This song always reminded me of Nazi ww2. Now it is indicative of America right now! Don’t give up our rights patriots or this will be our children’s reality! Let’s go Brandon and God bless America! This song should be America’s theme song now, hope Trump uses it!!!
If Trump uses it it will defeat its purpose, the church and in particular right wing churches would have us believe that trump is anointed, it’s the opposite, trumps a user of such churches and their followers for what he wants most…power
@@gazt8926 yeah I um ok. This song is referring to the establishment churches not the Christian church uncontrolled by the government. Furthermore, Trumps administration downfalls were in him giving power to those he believed were worthy of that power but, turned out to be implants who were secretly and nefariously plotting behind his back. Ironically, Trump lost almost half his fortune while President and donated his entire salary to fight the Opiod epidemic. The very first President to leave office Poorer then when he arrived. If your argument is that Trump is so delusional that he would lose billions just to have the title commander in chief, then you clearly cannot fathom that money is actually power, and your brainwashed just like all of the other leftist sheep being led to slaughter! God bless America and God bless President Trump, America’s only hope.
All I need is a miracle thats need up for you from these guys you will like the song. Paul carrack went solo and has a ton a ton of great songs please check both out thank you GOD bless keep looking up !!!!
I don't believe the video closely relates to the song which tells of an invasion, loss and the imposition of indoctrination as has been seen throughout human history.
I don’t want to be critical but, You have missed the point of this song about half way through. This is about a socialist society having ultimate power and control over its people. It was written during the cold war where we were facing the Soviet Union and China and Cambodia was run by dictator Pol Pot. The result was millions dead. It is a very serious song and only tragedy. There is absolutely no hope to be found in this song accept maybe "Rise up and fight while we stood still" but, even that means a bloody civil war. It is a perfect prediction and message of where we are going now in America. Brilliant and ahead of its time. Sorry for being pessimistic but I lived through the entire cold war. Thank You for reviewing this great song. RO
CONFUSING these lyrics are similar to " In the air tonight ,even the music. I forget the man singing that one but a very popular artist .maybe Phill Collins
Akabenno where can I find the President Trump version? I heard this song tonight and it brought up all sorts of deep, sad and mixed feelings. I didn't know why this song brought out such strong emotions. I couldn't remember where I had heard it. Someone said he heard it in Patriot Hour and that made sense to me. It felt right. Now you said there's a President Trump version and I'm off to try to find it
It amazes me how this song has seen a resurgence over the last couple of years. Powerful lyrics, that are very relevant now.
Strong song . The words are foretelling our future. Back then songs had a story. Most times the story was a warning. Much like this.
Chills and tears every time I hear this song 🙏🏼♥️😢
Same here
It's the entire world...
The line "Teach the children quietly for someday Sons and Daughters will rise up and fight while we stood still" is so relative for what is happening today!!!!
Always thought of Russia and Europe when this song came out. Sadly the US now!
@@wesleyhester9829 sadly yes, we are actually now just as bad if not worse
Parents sadly are NOT teaching the children.
@@rosedaleconfidential102 which is why we are in the mess we are IMO
Really?
They don’t know if they’re a boy or a fucking girl!
Can you see them even putting their phones down?
We’ve got no chance.
Wow 😯 bought tears 😢to my eyes 👀
The instrumentation and music arrangement of that song is amazing.

Par Avion was a very under appreciated song that he wrote. It's got a similar vibe of "in the air tonight" play that one if you missed it friends!
Microphone PLUS The Mechanics behind it all!
Can you hear ME? Can you hear me running, calling YOU?
Who am I? A>I> maybe? or Natural Organic intelligence, using tech

I was driving and this song came on the radio. I felt it deep in my soul.. I thought I was going to pull over..
I remember, hearing it year's ago... ❤
This song was all over the radio and as a middle schooler i was captivated by it but now at 50 the lyrics give me chills at how orwellian the song is 😮
You two are so clever at seeing the story so quickly 🙏 I'm with Shawn here, i'm 55 and lost my Dad at 15 and still talk to him today.
That's the reaction I expected to see for a first time hearing this amazing song.
Glad yall got to check this out. This song has been ahead of its time for years. They were woke. ❤ much love to you both
Great voice, great playing, and lyrics with some meat on the bones.
Live and Light what soul you bring is still only 💜soul
I'm so glad you did this song! Great reaction. This video goes straight into the next video, in a 3 video series, and that one is All I Need Is A Miracle.

Amazing song, I've worked at two Supermarket's and this is always on their playlist!
Amen you two! Love from the UK.
The great Paul Carrack on lead vocals, always a great performance.
Such a beautiful reaction like you used to. Thank you so much 😢❤
Song fits the times of today
This song should have been used in the Terminator, it fits perfectly.
Absolutement ! ( It means absolutely in French ) . .
Fits perfectly for today's world.
Fellow Orioles fan (since 1989), the songs you've been listening to are incredible.
I forgot about this one! Thank you for checking it out.
This song was so futuristic. Alot of churches although church and state are suppose to be separate are now being controlled . We've been lied to and our children are being indoctrinated. God said, Look to me not man. Pray!!
"Better you should pray to , GOD - The Father and The Spirit will guide you and protect you from up here"
Woke is a cult too.
This song about the government I knew the song from growing up in the 80s but I use to listen to Alex Jones along time ago and he put me up on game…But I most definitely remember from when I was a kid 80s is my favorite genre!
He's singing about the "great tribulation" in the "Book of Revelations" of the Bible. Best read in the King James Version.
Is nice to see your understanding ,God bless you
The most prophetic song I've ever heard...written in the 80's about a man from the future who travels back in time to warn his wife and kids about a new civil war.... Eerily similar to 2024...gave me goosebumps then and even scarier today...open your eyes people❤️❤️💯🇺🇸
I knew once you'd listened to The Living Years you wouldn't be able to resist more MATM, this song was once again written by Mike Rutherford and B.A.Robertson (who had a number of solo hits himself),and Paul Carrack again provided the vocals, the song title was just Silent Running, but was extended to On Dangerous Ground after it was chosen to be in the film of the same name, the film was released in America under the title Choke Canyon, more reactions to them please
Masterpiece 4 sure 👌
Thank you❤
This song is still prophetic today. This will be more and more obvious as our country crashes.
ammo up.😢😢😢😢😢😢
This song really means a lot to those of us. Who read Soldier of Fortune as a teen. And were scared to death that either the United States or the Soviet Union would press the button. And kill almost everything.

One of my favorites from this groups! All I Need is a Miracle is also good!
And Another Cup of Coffee
The words caused this song to be banned from the radio not long after it became a hit. It is prophetic and we need to listen to its message. Now.
This song reminds me of thunderstorms in California when I was a kid! I had to look up the video because we couldn’t afford MTV but it’s making me feel like turning 50😂 they always played this song at candlestick park at Giants games
Ya All are Amazing that you really listen to Lyrics. Your a Beautiful Couple❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Spiritual song, perfect for these times we live in. "don't believe the church and state..."
Good to get some more Mike + the Mechanics.
I love love love this song
You are right! This is a deep message. Great pick! We all need to be reminded about what could and may happen. Particularly now with Chat GPT coming at our doorsteps.
Love this song .Slava God .🙌💫💫💫❤❤❤
arte lo mejor de la vida esta cacion es arte algo casi magico la mejor creacion de la inteligencia
Beautiful song. Its a heartbreaker.
When this came out when I was about 16 I thought this is too much. We're not at this point in society. NOW at 55.....it makes more sense .
Ya all get it I love that y'all listen to the lyrics... This is a song about what's to come.. prohetic by purpose...
"All I need is a miracle", "Taken In", "Nobody's Perfect"...just a few of their great songs.
This song reminds me of what we are going through today call it a prophecy sorta.
Nice seeing you, guys. I was 16 years the time this came out.
This song gets even deeper in 2024!!! ❤❤ yall
You really should try " Beggar on a beach of gold " " Another cup of coffee " " Mea Culpa " by this band they are fantastic songs but for me " Something to believe in " is a must
We stood Still....
Can you hear me
From 2:40 till 3:23 you can see: from enjoying a song to get the message - a transformation !
I always took this as being almost like a tiny SciFi film of a dystopian state and his father is in the High Command of the Resistance. You hope he succeeds and is reunited with his family.. You can just close your eyes and picture it like a film. How many songs can produce a mental film like that these days? In the past there were plenty of them.

I love this song and music video. 🙂
Man.... you guys are awesome ! love you guys !
Their best song , but you only ever hear The Living Years on the radio .
1:42 the way y'all staring was funny to me.😂 great reaction video to a great informative song 💯 cheers🥂again @2:54😂my same reaction literally.
Try this tune, Folks...by Al Stewart (year of the cat) The title is "Roads To Moscow" It chronicles a Russian soldier behind German lines as he attempts to return to his Russian home, unaware of what a terrible fate he's forced to endure. I believe you can appreciate the song. Best to you both!
The song is about the last days the book of revelations they were warning us of what's to come
Rock on my sister and brother ❤️👊🙏
Hope all is well with you and yours Shawn and Mel. Much love. ❤
The theme of the song is about a war coming and they are coming after hime so he needs to hide out to plan for the war!
You need to listen to the Silent Running that has the Donald Trump Version... This has a lot to do with what's happening NOW!!!
Tpdolphin39...would have loved to see that video..searched on youtube couldn't find it
What is that about with The Chumpster, I mean Trumpster?
❤💯

All I need is a miracle...
I knew i was never wrong
Mel and Shawn Carrie Underwood original video "Just a Dream" is AWESOME and DEEP.
To Shawna d Mel, this song is about war. Situations going on in The UK in the 1980’s. The injustices with the Soviet Union and the KPG! However, because this song is so prophetic! Plus the video in my opinion could lead one to believe that The guy who gave Tommy the key is a Messenger from Heaven. Informing us all about the Spiritual War/battle in Heaven and on Earth.

But I don’t want to confuse anyone! But this is what I got out of it. The war is at our footsteps. In Heaven and literally on Earth!
Imagine the first guys who were smart as F back then who couldn't say much, but a music group could say something
Not Bad for 1985 😇
ammo up 🙄🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲😘
I agree with all the other comments. Next one by MATM should be "All I Need Is A Miracle" Another great song. 👍 🎼 🎶
In case you guys didn't know, MATM is basically Genesis without Phil Collins
Gotta do All I Need Is A Miracle, which is next on that album (songs one and two)
Wow! I hadn't seen that video for a long time and I enjoyed it, until the last scene where the mom walks into her son's room just as he disappears.

So sad, but remember all the joy she gave you and the happiness you brought to her.

@@Gunner4D Thank you
@@mainlt9267 Thanks
underrrated band
You should really try their song "Beggar On A Beach of Gold," next.
No sometimes the church and state are a part of the killing
This song always reminded me of Nazi ww2. Now it is indicative of America right now! Don’t give up our rights patriots or this will be our children’s reality! Let’s go Brandon and God bless America! This song should be America’s theme song now, hope Trump uses it!!!

Haven't seen this video to this in ages.
All I need is a miracle thats need up for you from these guys you will like the song. Paul carrack went solo and has a ton a ton of great songs please check both out thank you GOD bless keep looking up !!!!
I don't believe the video closely relates to the song which tells of an invasion, loss and the imposition of indoctrination as has been seen throughout human history.
This is a good one from them another good one has the late Paul Young singing different voice to Paul Carrack it's Word Of Mouth
What s up mel. Have a blessed weekend 😘
You tube "silent running "Justin Bellucci for the Trump tribute withe whole song its eye opening
Very true
Check out the sister track to this; A Call To Arms, from the same album. Even more poignant tbh
Better you should pray to God the Father and the Spirit to rise you up and protect you from up here
And the Son...
Mike and The Mechanics are great. This one wasn't a hit but it is a super song called When The Next Heartache Falls. You should do it!
What are you talking about, it wasn't a hit?? It made number 5 or 6 on the Billboard charts.
I don’t want to be critical but, You have missed the point of this song about half way through. This is about a socialist society having ultimate power and control over its people. It was written during the cold war where we were facing the Soviet Union and China and Cambodia was run by dictator Pol Pot. The result was millions dead. It is a very serious song and only tragedy. There is absolutely no hope to be found in this song accept maybe "Rise up and fight while we stood still" but, even that means a bloody civil war. It is a perfect prediction and message of where we are going now in America. Brilliant and ahead of its time. Sorry for being pessimistic but I lived through the entire cold war. Thank You for reviewing this great song. RO
I concur.
☮️❤️🔥🔥🔥🎶🎵🎶...😏
Turn up the volume
Muy buena. Please react to ...León Gieco . "Solo le pido a Dios"
CONFUSING these lyrics are similar to " In the air tonight ,even the music. I forget the man singing that one but a very popular artist .maybe Phill Collins
Look up "Donald Trump, Silent Running" Deep Meaning!
Missed the whole point,it's about the Evil people calling the shots in this world --to no particular group of ancestors,open up your eyes
The church does not always get it right. Follow the Holy Spirit/The Father/The Son ONLY. Read the word brother.
WATCH THE PRESIDENT TRUMP VERSION
Akabenno where can I find the President Trump version? I heard this song tonight and it brought up all sorts of deep, sad and mixed feelings. I didn't know why this song brought out such strong emotions. I couldn't remember where I had heard it. Someone said he heard it in Patriot Hour and that made sense to me. It felt right. Now you said there's a President Trump version and I'm off to try to find it
@marthayee4799 did you find it . ? It's the campaign video. God bless you .
