Although it IS a phenomenal tune, but the greatest...? Not a chance. There are a lot of songs that are better than this...Duran Duran's masterpiece "Ordinary World" comes to mind. If you these 2 songs in a Which One Is Better battle, DD would win by a huge margin. I would even consider "Future Past" to be superior to this.
It was my dad’s heavenly birthday 2 days ago.😢 this song means so much to me. I started to get close to him after my mum passed, he was a lost soul following losing her. He was a wonderful, kind, generous man. he was also clever and hard working. The world is a poorer place without him. He got to see his first grandchild which was special. We were back to 4 generations alive together for a while. RIP dad, hope you and mum are still all square after each round 💙
Honest question: is there ANYONE who can hear this song without tears welling up in their eyes and/or getting goosebumps??? The entire band, Paul on vocals, and the kids as backing singers just takes it to a whole new level of anthem 🥰
My dad and I were never as close as my brother and sister were to him. But as I grew older and became a dad myself we became closer. I took my parents out for lunch at the end of October 2023. He told me he was proud of me. I told him I loved him. 2 weeks later the big man passed away. Love you forever Dad. Thank you for everything you did for me. You are missed everyday x
This song hits home, my Father passed away before got to him tell I loved him. He died on my Son’s birthday. This song really hurts every time I hear it.
I was 19 when this song came out and fought with my old man every day, I'm 49 now and he has terminal cancer, can't listen to this song without tearing up, don't let the sun go down on an argument people, bury the hatchet before it's too late, I'm gonna miss him like crazy when he goes.
Don't wait until next week to do thism from someone who lost his dad in 1996 when I was 21: Tell him you love him, that you're you're thankful for everything he has done for you, that you understand how tough it was for him in raising you, that you will always be thinking of him, that will be okay financially after he goes (whether it's true or not doesn't matter, but it will make him be able to let go better), and tell him that you look forward to seeing him in heaven along with your other deceased ancestors. Also, visualize yourself in the future and think of all other things you didn't say to him. Say it to him now. You are doing all of this not for him BUT FOR YOUR OWN PEACE OF MIND. . And a big hug to you, brother.
I always liked this song from when it was released in 1989, but in 2007, it took on extra meaning after Sunday 30/12/2007, my dad was seriously I'll in hospital, we had a phone call from the hospital (whipps cross London) to say he had taken a turn for the worse, and I went to the hospital, but hadn't even got on the bus when I was phoned to say he had died - I returned home And the words in the third verse now take on the extra special meaning, and consider the link between the events of that day and lyrics ☆ "I wasnt there that morning when my father passed away, I didn't get to tell him all the things I had to say" ☆ It all adds up to Make this song more poignant for me, brings a lump to my throat and my eyes moist, it's got extra special meaning
This song says it all takes a lot of listening,I was not there back in 72 when my father died he died in hospital which was a 5 minute drive away from my home and I’m 80 years old now and it’s something I’ve regretted ever since,love you dad
Good for you ! My Dad and I didn't. He passed away when I just turned 16. It's like this song was written for me. He NEVER spoke of what he saw in WWII A WWII infantryman, 4 amphibious landings , a purple heart, bronze star , his division saw more active days in combat than any other which took me 30 years to find this all out after his death. I believe all this hardened him to the point that he could not not show his emotions to me. I surely wish he had. Its been 51 years since he died and I have never gotten over it and never will. This song does help me every time I listen to it though.
I tear up every time I hear this . My Dad told he was sorry for not being a better Dad on the day he died, I said don't worry I always loved you anyway.
No son is ever a perfect son , as well as no dad is ever a perfect dad, but the love is unrivalled, and never diminishes, shout out to all the sons listenening to this in 2022, 29 years since I lost my dad. Xx
I'm missing you dad.......it's lonely without you! It was your birthday yesterday......Your grand daughter is thriving, wish you could be there to see her graduate!
When I try to think of the greatest songs of all time, this one is always high up on my list... Absolutely stunning song. Heartbreaking, beautiful, melancholy, hopeful. A true classic.
Totally agree ...never knew my dad just that i was named after him....now I know my heavenly Father and that's all that matters - thanks you Jesus ! Amen
My father could have cared less about me. It was all about my twin sister, my other two sisters and my brother. I tried so many times to tell him I loved him, and was proud of him, but always got brushed off. He barely ever told me he loved me . The morning he passed away, I told him I loved him, and kissed him goodbye.
Thanks for listening to my comment about my father. I have had a chance to read some of your comments too, and found I like a lot of your comments also.
I too feel the same way and have never been able to be close with my dad. I'm tears reading your comment and realizing my dad is still alive and i still can't breach the gap.
God hears your pain. You can leave every hurt, every pain at the feet of the cross that His son Jesus died on . For free.. just for you and me. I have very difficult childhood myself, my father still alive, and stepfather passed but he was saved.
I miss you Daddy. This song echoes the struggles my father and I had with each other. He died on February 23, 2015 without me telling him how much I loved him. I’m so sorry!! I miss you so much!! Your son Ralph
This song made me appreciate my dad so much more when I was 11...At 37, I lost the most wonderful dad ever. After 9 years I still tear up when I hear this. RIP, Dad.
Great emotional song about relationships and regrets. My parents both died 10 years ago,so I feel this song.We got along mostly,but there are always things you wish were different .
Do you know who wrote it? The tall bearded guy playing guitar behind Paul Carrack. MIKE RUTHERFORD. As in MIKE + Mechanics. As in, original GENESIS bass and lead guitarist for 55 years.
This song had new meaning to me, when I stood next to my dad's coffin at sixteen, wishing I had told him how much I loved him and how proud I was of him and I forgive him. I have carried that regret since. I cry as I'm writing this. This song, means so much
According to the hundreds (or thousands?) of Near Death Experience stories on UA-cam where people temporarily died and went to heaven and returned... you will be reunited and you will have the opportunity to say what you wish you had.
When I prayed at my Dad’s grave I asked him to forgive me. I blamed him for my shortcomings and failings. When he died (unexpectedly) I had just entered rehab for alcoholism. GOD put me right where I needed to be and I have not drank or drugged since. (March 15, 2000) Love you Dad. ❤️✊🙏✝️
Old show but very beautiful and exciting, simply timeless!!!! The children's choir and the orchestra fit perfectly into the song, with a very strong chorus! The double bass rif by Mark King from Level 42 is unmistakable, without words, just emotion straight from Brazil...💖💖💖💖💖💖👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌻🌻🌻🌹🌹🌹🌹🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Great passion from Paul Carrack whose father died when he was just 11 years old. In an interview Paul said his father was a "great guy". "Death is not the opposite of Life. Death is the opposite of Birth." --Eckhart Tolle
This song makes me think of someone who wasn't my father, but was very nice to me when I was 11, 12, 13, 14 years old in the early 1980s, who, alas, passed away in September 2020
The most uniquely moving song ever. It's all about the need for and the power of forgiveness. We must never hold on to grudges. We lost our eldest granddaughter at the age of 20. What a loss, family have never recovered. Do what you need to do in the living years
There are very few things in this world that make me truly cry...but this song hits home every single time. If I am out driving, I have to pull off the road and just sit there and cry. There are so many reasons to so many people why this song hits home, and makes it the best song ever... Period!
When I was returning from my dad‘s funeral in 1999 this song came on the radio. My dad was the most honorable person I’ve ever known, every once in a while this song will show up in my feed and somehow I think it’s my dad reaching out to me. ❤🇺🇸🙏
I can't help but wonder how many parents have passed away where their children have regrets of not having reconciled before their passing. So sad to think of that.
It is such a ♥ Heartache .. The Song's Title is Nostalgic and gives permission to interpret the meaningful lyrics of loss and regrets to apply them our own Relationships..which are precious and fleeting...
I wasn't there when my father passed away. But I'd seen him a couple of days previously, and I was able to say what I wanted, and he said it back, and for that precious moment I am grateful. He would have been 102 this year, and I bet he'd still have been grumbling about the cricket. ❤
Paul Carrack and Richard Page ( Mr Mister) we're one of the finest vocalists they deserved to even be more bigger stars... Absolutely luv both of them their live performances are better than the ones on the album and very few artists can boast that kind of ability to sing live with such passion...
Just like many I break down in tears at the end of this song, my Dad had a stroke that got him into a three days coma before he passed, ....so I didn't get to tell him all the things I had to say either. This song always bring back his memory to me.
This is so true, sad but true ,Amen🙏 We pray,Our Lord visit every family and person,that's hurting st this time and all times,on including myself,God bless you guys 🙏🙏🙏😅
A wonderful song of forgiveness. I pray to God in the name of his son Jesus and my savior to please teach me the forgiveness I need to forgive my father.
LOVE THIS SONG, it reminds me SO much of my Dad, whom I loved so dearly. When I had the news that my Dad had passed, and whilst on my way to see him, to say my final goodbye, ironically this song played on the radio during my drive there. It remains a very important song in my life. Thank you so much.xx
Let's not forget the great MIKE RUTHERFORD, the Mike in Mike + Mechanics, and the lifelong bass and lead guitarist of GENESIS who WROTE this song. (For those that don't know, he's the tall bearded guy behind Carrack.)
I am so happy to have come of age in the 70s and 80s. There was so much sincere effort being made to make interesting and meaningful pop. The overlap of good music with Big Showbiz was huge, as was the sheer variety of charting singles.
The last verse has a special poingancy for me now.........3:58............My dad passed away peacefully on 10 April 2023. That verse of this song will resonate with me forever...... 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 RIP Mr. Albert Wayne Siegel!!!
wish i could tell my dad how much i loved him, like the song goes, 30 years now think of him every day, people you need to tell your loved ones, before its to late.
Great tune and lyrics. I love this song because of its positive message about loving our parents everyday.Bring them flowers to their tumbs must be too late.
This is The Greatest song ever written past or present, period
I LOVE this classic but ---- that's a pretty big statement.
Although it IS a phenomenal tune, but the greatest...? Not a chance. There are a lot of songs that are better than this...Duran Duran's masterpiece "Ordinary World" comes to mind. If you these 2 songs in a Which One Is Better battle, DD would win by a huge margin. I would even consider "Future Past" to be superior to this.
What a vocalist...
So so beautiful. So much sincere feeling ❤
My Dad cried when this came out . He was only 13 when his Father died. I was lucky to have my Champion untill he passed at 96.
I was not that lucky.
❤@@nedkelly2677
This song is one of the greatest 💗,I lost my dad way to soon 😢

Definitely 💯 not me ❤❤❤
Nope
Nop
Definitely not.
Me dá arrepio de quando escuto essa música me dá saudade de meu pai que partiu ha dêz anos essa música me faz chorar toda vez que ouso😪😪
Lost my dad 2 years ago we had great relationship but this song makes me cry everttime 😢x

If this song doesn't make you shed tears I feel sorry for you 😢❤
One of the most PERFECT songs ever written !!!!!!
Agreed! Impactful lyrics!
so true 🤝
I agree
..so, SO TRUE.
Yes, nothing could have been better… lyrics, music, arrangements and vocal performance… It’s a masterpiece!
Carrack has to be the most underrated singer ever, voice is magic.
Couldn't agree more..
By whom???
Lol ok how about “unheralded”? Obscure? There a lot of people who know the voice and not the singer.
This song hits home, my Father passed away before got to him tell I loved him. He died on my Son’s birthday. This song really hurts every time I hear it.
Magic? He's a one hit wonder.
Mike and the angels caused a few tears for me 😢 how i miss my Dad after over 50 years later ❤
I was 19 when this song came out and fought with my old man every day, I'm 49 now and he has terminal cancer, can't listen to this song without tearing up, don't let the sun go down on an argument people, bury the hatchet before it's too late, I'm gonna miss him like crazy when he goes.

☆ "I wasnt there that morning when my father passed away, I didn't get to tell him all the things I had to say" ☆
It all adds up to Make this song more poignant for me, brings a lump to my throat and my eyes moist, it's got extra special meaning
It is to late to say you are sorry when you a leaning over a casket.
Great post.

Paul Carrack what a voice , this song gets me every time.
I believe his name is Paul Young.
@@fritzcat6198
Wrong.
@@fritzcat6198 Two different guys who both sang lead for M and the M.
@@fritzcat6198 Carrack was the singer for this song. Young did sing others for Mike and the Mech's songs

Same. Super sad but so optimistic at the same time
Totally agree ...never knew my dad just that i was named after him....now I know my heavenly Father and that's all that matters - thanks you Jesus ! Amen
What a beautiful song! I cry every time I hear it! 🙂
Dedicated this song to my dad , who passed before my 2 child was born . Always and forever in my heart.xx
Real music. Real emotion. It hits me everytime. Father and sons.
Loving this in Dec. 2023!
Timeless message that will never end! It is priceless!
Thank you Paul!
😊You are one of the best singers ever!!! ❤❤❤
If it doesn't touch your heart I don't know what will
Lost my dad in 1992. Can't hear this song without crying!
I was at a Paul Carrack gig about 3 months after my dad died after a long battle with Parkinsons, when he sang this I was in bits.
for me the same lost my dad in 2014@69...still miss him
I cannot hear this without crying… my relationship with my father or lack thereof.. then my failure to be a good father myself… so much regret..
I hear you
Awareness is half of it. It’s never too late…..
Saw him play this at the Royal Albert Hall last week and we were all in tears again then.
This is a great song to express one's grief after losing someone close to you. I miss my Dad every day.
Beautiful song, it makes me cry every time I hear it.

One of the best rock songs ever written. No debate.
You are correct.
Laura so true your comment 🤝
Even better than “Silent Running”? “Take the children and yourself and hide out in the cellar”
Do you know who wrote it? The tall bearded guy playing guitar behind Paul Carrack. MIKE RUTHERFORD. As in MIKE + Mechanics. As in, original GENESIS bass and lead guitarist for 55 years.
The beauty of those sweet kids doing background. I wonder often if they understood the meaning behind the lyrics they sang. Beautiful song.
Such a sad, beautiful song. Paul Carrack is a year younger than me, and he can still sing better than 99% of today's artists.
One of the greatest songs ever written and sang very beautiful 😍
This song had new meaning to me, when I stood next to my dad's coffin at sixteen, wishing I had told him how much I loved him and how proud I was of him and I forgive him. I have carried that regret since. I cry as I'm writing this. This song, means so much

I'm sure a lot of people have been in that position, Bless you.
Even if you never said it you feel it now
When I prayed at my Dad’s grave I asked him to forgive me.
I blamed him for my shortcomings and failings.
When he died (unexpectedly) I had just entered rehab for alcoholism.
GOD put me right where I needed to be and I have not drank or drugged since. (March 15, 2000)
Love you Dad.
❤️✊🙏✝️
He knew and he knows. Now live like you were made to. Love others.
What a song. What a voice!!!
Excellent that he gave all those children an opportunity to gain experience at singing in front of a huge audience.
Old show but very beautiful and exciting, simply timeless!!!! The children's choir and the orchestra fit perfectly into the song, with a very strong chorus!

I can’t listen to this anymore because I bawl my eyes out 😢
Paul has such a soulful voice. You really sense he means what he is singing.
@ Mmsiphonevinyls1027: He certainly does. Paul lost his own father at the age of 11 in an accident at work.
But Mike Rutherford wrote the song after talking with Paul.
Paul Carrack shows off his amazing voice on this timeless classic! Great song.
Goosebumps. My 5 year old sat with me in silence Mesmerized by this performance.
Absolutely beautiful version of a classic.
There are very few things in this world that make me truly cry...but this song hits home every single time. If I am out driving, I have to pull off the road and just sit there and cry.
There are so many reasons to so many people why this song hits home, and makes it the best song ever...
Period!
A very touching song. It brings me to tears.
When I was returning from my dad‘s funeral in 1999 this song came on the radio. My dad was the most honorable person I’ve ever known, every once in a while this song will show up in my feed and somehow I think it’s my dad reaching out to me.
❤🇺🇸🙏
one of the best male singers in pop music with one of the most beautiful songs.
One of the most beautiful and powerful song... Still listening now
Can't help but admire Carrack's focus on his vocal, and it shows: he sounds fantastic.
Es ist unglaublich. Ich kann kein einziges Video von diesem Lied hören und sehen, ohne das mir die Tränen kommen. Ich liebe es!
My ears are filled with JOY and soul is filled with affection when listening to this beauty . Love from Sri Lanka .
I lost my Dad in 1997, he never said much but he didn't have to, a wonderful man.
wow i never knew this song until today Friday September 1 2023 ❤❤❤❤❤🙏✌️☀️💪😇🕊
pure voice. Take notes generation of singers today
I can't help but wonder how many parents have passed away where their children have regrets of not having reconciled before their passing. So sad to think of that.
This song gets me everytime . Very relevant.
Unbelievably beautiful voice. The lyrics can't help but touch your heart. Leaves me speechless.
Omg what a performance!! Listening this in 2021 ☝️✅
2023 here.
August 2023 for me……I listen to this song weekly…..it’s a blessing for the soul…
I just love this song. My husband recently passed away and every time I hear this song I miss him and think of him.

One of my very favorite songs and hope my children will play it at MY funeral !
One of the most powerful songs ever, this was only a few months before Alan Murphy died bless him. 👌😢

My Father died the same year this song came out. I had a good relationship with my Dad. Now at 66 years I still think of him
Just like many I break down in tears at the end of this song, my Dad had a stroke that got him into a three days coma before he passed, ....so I didn't get to tell him all the things I had to say either.
This song always bring back his memory to me.
The orchestra with the children singing along this song...chills...just chills...
amazing singer ! wonderful warm voice, he touched hearts in a second
he looks like Phil Collins
Nobody can be perfect.
I agree, he resembles Phil...
Maybe that's one of the reasons why Mike Rutherford hired him.

This is so true, sad but true ,Amen🙏 We pray,Our Lord visit every family and person,that's hurting st this time and all times,on including myself,God bless you guys 🙏🙏🙏😅

i cry every time i hear this song, i am crying now i think its the words
amazing voice amazing presence amazing lyrics.

Great live performance song, timeless
There is a powerful message in the song for all living human just hope we get it before it’s too late❤
Superb, very meaningful, goosepump and tear rolled up everytime I heard.
I am so happy to have come of age in the 70s and 80s. There was so much sincere effort being made to make interesting and meaningful pop. The overlap of good music with Big Showbiz was huge, as was the sheer variety of charting singles.
amazing singer ! wonderful warm voice, he touched hearts in a second
This was my sisters funeral song she passed at 35 years old .Thank you for this great song has a lot of memories in our family
Bless you ❤❤❤
The last verse has a special poingancy for me now.........3:58............My dad passed away peacefully on 10 April 2023. That verse of this song will resonate with me forever......
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
RIP Mr. Albert Wayne Siegel!!!
