After my dad passed, I made it a habit to tell ALL my loved ones, "I Love You" when I left, they left, or we were getting off the phone. Those were the last words my husband ever heard me say, the last words my mother heard me say, and the last words 2 of my brothers heard me say to them. Let me tell you, that has brought me so much comfort over the years that they never doubted how I felt about them... Much love from Charleston SC.
I did the same Janie starting when my children were born. I wasn't raised hearing those words but my children were. They are 38 yrs.old now(twins) and I still never hang up the phone or say good bye without telling them that I love them.
So sorry for your losses,yet how wonderful that you connected with your loved ones in love each and every time! Life lesson learned,beautifully...💞
My mother never told me she loved me until I was 48, and she was dying. I never speak to anyone without telling the I love them, or just random people i speak to I say I hope you have a happy day.
NEVER MISS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LET SOMEONE KNOW YOU LOVE THEM!
Isn't music amazing? A song like this can deliver a message that cuts straight to our hearts no matter our background, race, economic status, etc. It's great that you're being so intentional in being a better dad every day.
Love this comment
I think it's the most important song of all time
Most people don't catch that the first chorus was sung only with the boy's choir, the second only with the adult's choir and the final one you can hear both of them singing together. :)
Damn I never noticed. Brilliant
Real men cry, real men show feeling, real are no afraid to show feelings.
I'm 70. I've heard lots of songs. I can't think of one that nails it the way this nails it...!
There are two songs which absolutely slay me. "Cat's in the Cradle" hits hard, but this one hits even harder.
Yes! Me too! Tears flow every time!
Also, "Everything I Own" by Bread
This song, Cats in the Cradle, and Wind Beneath my Wings always hit me hard..
those are two for me as well as Leader of the Band from Dan Fogelberg… they all make me think of my dad that passed on.
I have to agree because both songs remind me of my dad difference is I spent as much time with my dad as I could my Dad is was and still is I pray to heaven everyday just hoping to hear his voice and when I hear these two songs my eyes start to tear up
This hit hard. My dad committed suicide right before my son was born. Then this song came out. Jerking tears
😢
I'm so sorry.
I leave it to God
Oh my God.... Mine also took his life but 2 months after my eldest boy was born. Here's my long distance hug to you ❤️ It is really hard but I strongly believe that if you talk to his spirit, he'll listen 🙏🏻
Someone once said, God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason. We should listen twice as often as we speak. As I got older, it was amazing how much wiser my Dad became.😉
Saw them do this live back in the day when this was new. About 4000 people in the concert hall and EVERYONE sang the choir part!! Not a dry eye in the house. The poetry of these lyrics hits different, especially to those of us who have lost their parents. As an old white guy, I want to tell you that I'm proud of you for soaking in the message in this song, thinking about it and applying the goodness of it into your own life and family.
This is one of those songs that every human on the planet needs to hear.
Dude, im still waiting for my dad to snap out of his bullshit,, im nearly 50 and never been hugged by him or told he loves me.. this shit hits hard. Been crying for over 30years to this song. Some dads are hard work.
Maybe you should ask him to come and listen to this song with you. It surely couldn't hurt. There's a lot of things I wanted to tell my father that I never got the chance to. My heart hurts for you brother. Please don't stop trying to reach him .
My mother never did but on the day she died, I felt it didn't matter so much as she showed me in MANY ways what her feelings were. She came from a time where they didn't seem to do that. She was born in 1916
say I Love You… At they end you did the right thing…❤️🩹🩷
Great song from back in the days. Glad to see a strong young man being a real father and man. It's good to see, stay that way sir never change 💯
very well said sir hug your parents they raised you well...
Thank you brother!!....I finally got to let my tears flow, 14 years after losing my dad...
I've heard of this song for years & never listened to it.. until now.. I'm literally crying my heart out because me & dad fell out just before he passed over..I cannot get past the grief and knowing he was alone..I'm so sorry dad, I love you.☮️🇬🇧
I lost my father when I was 20 and our last words were not kind, my father was an abusive alcoholic this song came out around the same time and I could not help but cry Everytime I heard this song. It took me 15 years to not cry when I listened to this ✌️
Sometimes it is good to cry, it is impossible not to with these lyrics.
😢bless your heart
my dad was great but his heart only made it to 51. i was in the middle of my BS teen shit and i regret every time i fought with him. he was a good man doing the best he could with 5 sons in the projects lol. no wonder his heart gave out.
I went through my youth thinking my father didn't like me, and we just moved through life not really talking; when he suddenly died I felt really bad, that I never told him that I loved him. This sing always brings me to that point, every time; but my oldest sister told me that he loved me, and he knew I loved him. I guess l just needed to be able to tell him.
My mom use to sing this to me all the time and now that she passed a year ago I cry every time but I did tell her how I feel and how much I loved her and most of all how much I appreciate her
My parents are now gone, if yours are still there, talk to them while you can and don't regret it.
My adult Kids hear "I Luv you at the end of every phone call, or conversation, I vow it to be the last words they hear me say!, after the sudden loss of their Mother, I can do no less!!!
It’s the BITTERNESS that lasts… not benefits.
One of my favourite songs. My mother died very suddenly in 1988 and this song was on the radio waves at the time. Could not be more poignant. I was over mum and dads house for dinner on Sat night, left early for some reason. Mum asked me to stay a bit longer, I said no, I will pop over again on Monday after work. My mother died that Monday morning. I wish I had told her all the things I had to say, in her living years. Love you my darling one ❤
😢😢😢❤
I’m sorry 😞 ❤
This is one of the most powerful lyrics ever written and their music and performance of the song just hits you right in the soul
Couldn't have said any of it better my man.
I became a father for the first time just a couple years ago at the age of 49. My old man is a decent dude, but came from a family and a generation that didn't value communication of these types of things. Me and my daughter are going to have a very different relationship.
This song is an all-time classic.
This song should come with a Warning: TEARS AHEAD!
I think this song makes every man think of their father. Miss you dad.
I played this song at my dad's funeral. Everytime I hear it, it brings a tear to my eye, and brings back memories of the time I spent with him.
You pick up on the meaning of these songs so quickly! Kudos.
This is why we love you, brother.
'We only sacrifice the future...it's the bitterness that lasts.' This song makes everyone reflect on what they experienced growing up and what they hope to be doing with their own children. Life is unpredictable. Regrets are part of the human experience.
Paul Carrack has a phenomenal voice. Mike penned a great song that I am sure Dad heard from beyond. One of my favorites. Thank you.
It can't do anything BUT make us emotional. It's a holy song.
I’ve listened to this song hundreds of times, but this is the first time I’ve heard it. Thank you.
Skeez you are a special person…don’t forget that. The honesty you express makes you so real and true. That is special. Hold onto that forever…🙏🏻❤️
I was about to comment but you said it all. 😊
What a wise guy you are! Learning from the past is not easy, you did it,good job.
I struggled as a child, trying to understand my father; he was very stoic, and his mantra was "men don't show emotion, never cry". I always felt there was something wrong with me, for being emotional; it got so hard, that if l felt like crying, my throat would tighten and it felt like chocking. Like the song said, l wasn't there the morning my father passed away; l felt lost, because l never got the chance to say "l love you". Plus I always wondered if he loved me, for who I was; I still struggle today, to be open with others and let them know how l feel about them.
This should be the anthem of the world
Your insightful, thoughtful, and caring. It's young people like you that gives me hope for our future. Peace from Northern Michigan.
I hope the children in the choir have received the understanding of the song as well. I'm sure they have listened to this song over and over thru the years. Certainly an important message for all of us.
They are old enough to be the 'generation before' now.😁
I’ve listened to this song a few times in the past year or so, since my Dad passed, and it gets me every time.
Oh man, I saw your earlier stuff and you were just a comedian, and here you're growing into a full, human, relatable man. Hats off to you my friend, I'm so grateful to see your journey.
What a nice young man you are. Nice reaction
I was one of the lucky ones, I heard this song 11 years before my dad passed, and just like you every word rang true to my heart. So less then a year after this came out my dad had a 2nd heart attack. I was living 3000 miles away in Scottsdale, Arizona. After a phone call from my dad who told me what had happened I spent the next month selling all my furniture , car and motorcycle. I shipped my tools and everything that didn't fit in my wallet or suit case was left behind. I went home with my wife and son on the first nonstop back. I took care of both my parents until they passed a year apart 10 years later. It was this song that taught me what I needed to do and that it needed to be done immediately , thank God I heard it in time. I cried the first time I heard it but like I said I was one of the lucky ones. So if this is your first time and someone out there needs to know you care.....PICK UP THE PHONE and be one of the lucky ones. peace and love
That line is “we only sacrifice the future, it’s the bitterness that lasts “ - rather than benefits (easy to mishear lyrics). The lines before that were about arguments between the present (current generation mindset?) the past (previous generation mindset?). It’s about how arguing over differences only hurts the future because it causes bitter feelings that linger.
Well don't I look a mess! Always loved this treasure. Mom and Dad were here when it came out and are now both gone, but we were fully there for each other, as I know you will be.
Hey. This is an English group. This video was filmed in October 1988 in West Somerset, England.
The guitar player (the man standing in the cemetery in the video) co-wrote this. I think he was in another country when his dad passed away
The things I would've said to my dad... ❤RIP Charlie 1/7/51-12/19/17 Love you, Pop.
You're a good man, stay that way...
I have watched thousands of you tubers react to songs and yours is the most heart felt and best reaction I’ve ever seen. I’ve always loved this song and it came out when I was in HS. Such a powerful message and so amazing it still resonates so well. So glad you got so much from the song. Thank you for your reaction.
Your absolute sincerity in reacting to this song will take you to better places. Just don’t ever forget this
Brilliant reaction "you can listen as well as you hear" you listened bro 👍
Appreciate your thoughtful reaction to this song.
I read that Mike was riding on a train and felt the presence of his father then found out that he had passed at about the same time while he was on the train.
"Now it's clear" Respect.
Such a great song. Straight facts. Hits hard. Mike and the Mechanics have a few hits. ✌️😎
He said, it’s the bitterness that lasts, not the benefits.
Excellent reaction to this song. Bravo.
THIS was “pop music “ back then. Normal pop radio music. Pure brilliance
So powerful. Thank you for playing this powerful song.
Your heart is good and your a great father. Overcome with emotion hearing real life circumstances. Pray for the future. 💜🙏
It’s the bitterness that lasts….
The setting for the video must be England. Mike is the 'dad' in the video and co-wrote both the music and the lyrics, but also played guitars with Genesis. He wrote a lot of the band's music and lyrics (with the other band members). This (Mike + the Mechanics) was a side project, much like Phil Collin's work was. It helped keep the band together for decades.
You should check out more from Genesis, Collins and The Mechanics. A lot of great and varied music (and lyrics).
My brother and our mother argued over his choice in a wife. We could all see the mistake he made and years later, he realized it. He divorced her to the relief of everyone related to him or friends with him. But the bad blood between Mom and him during her living years kept them apart. When she passed, his regret and heartbreak over lost time with our mother tore him up.
Listen to this song. The living years when both of you can work things out and live each other is you only chance to love. Do not wait!
Straight from the heart reaction bro....awesome! Thx!
Considering how profound your response to this amazing song is. I suspect that you're going to be an incredible father. I salute you. Me too. ❤
It's not "benefits", it's bitterness. "We only sacrifice the future, it's the bitterness that lasts", meaning we build up and repress feelings and that makes us only angrier in the future.
You’re 1 million % correct. I wish i would have learned this lesson before i lost my best friend and my father.
Leave nothing on the table. Tell loved ones that you love them, everyday.
Blessings to you and your family, Sceez
Greatest lyrics ever written!
I had a father and a step-father. My father was an abusive alcoholic that my mom divorced when i was very young and my step father raised me. It just hit me that i never told either of them that I loved them. I re united with my father before he died of cancer when he was 55 and my step father died in a helicopter crash when he was 55. Affection and love was never shown by either of them or by me and that still bothers me. Yep the living years can't be replaced.
My dad is my idol and hero. I tell him every damn day.
He raised two strong women.
I remember hearing this song back in the day, and in my geriatric Millenial experience, I know how important it is to make myself available to my parents, and to let them know me.
One of my favorites
The video clip for The Living Years was filmed in West Somerset, England near Porlock Weir and the hamlet of Culbone.
The lyrics here are a different level. Fantastic song
Oh this is a heartbreaker.. get your hanky ready 😢 stunning song
We had plenty songs like this in the 70s 80s 90s... exactly why those 3 decades were the best in music ever
I hear ya buddy, this song makes me tear up every time I hear it. One of the best written songs that captures the human experience.
Most definitely a tear jerker; say the loving things you should say to your loved ones before they are gone ❤
"we all talk a different language, talking in defense".. may be the truest statement ever made... "It's the bitterness that lasts"
It is a powerful an highly emotional song, written by B. A. Robertson and Mike Rutherford (the lead singer here).
For anyone, like myself, who consistently crossed swords with their Father, now feels the remorse and pain because of this song.
My Father died a few years ago and sadly, we never got around to reconciling our differences. It is something that now, forever haunts me.
Please think about Paul Carrack, no matter how we do appreciate Mike Rutherford.
It's the bitterness that lasts
I would like to tell you a quote from the late great writer Mark Twain. He said when I was 16 I could not believe how stupid my father was and on my 18th birthday I was amazed by how much he had learned in just 2 years!!! It's all perspective. Don't give up and don't give in! May God bless you 🙏.
Screezoramo, u are the cutest and wisest young man ever. Gr8 intuitive reaction.
Lost my Dad when I was 3 and wish I had had some more living years with him.
Sorry for your loss
I love you. You are a beautiful spirited young man. You’re authentic and that’s the quality that will give you the relationship with your kids you want. Thank you for an incredible reaction. ❤️
As watch your reaction on this song which I heard when it came out, I aee your soul being touched. That's what this song does.
''We only sacrifice the Future, it's the bitterness that lasts''.
None of us understood when we knew everything LOL. Tell your sons that you're proud of them and that you love them. It makes them strong on the inside & soft on the outside while criticism makes them strong on the outside & soft on the inside.
This one is timeless
This is probably the most emotional song ever written. The only song in the same category is "Tears In Heaven" by Eric Clapton once you find out the song is about the tragic death of Eric Clapton's 4 year old son Conor.
James blunt " Chase the monsters away ".
Cry your eyes out! It's an emotional song 😭
You are amazing your beautiful family will be 👌
If this song doesn't move you, you aren't human. Thanks for sharing your story. Fathers and sons.
Well said!
SAY IT LOUD,SAY IT CLEAR,YOU CAN LISTEN AS WELL AS YOU HEAR...CAUSE IT'S TOO LATE,WHEN WE DIE,TO ADMIT WE DON'T SEE EYE TO EYE!👏👊🏿
Your job as a parent is to help your children grow and learn to be happy and healthy people. That requires open conversations, even when they can be uncomfortable.
Tough times create strong men.
Strong men create easy times.
Easy times create weak men.
Weak men create tough times.
WTH! a man doesn't have to be strong, he too can be weak, sorrowful, cry show emtion,..go away with this nonsense
That was a beautiful reaction. Thanks for being so genuine. The setting looks to be in England if I had to guess. north coast.
There is no replacement for life experience. The older you get the broader look at life you attain. Losing my mother and father i realized all the times i wished i would spent more time talking to them and finding out more about their lives but i was busy being a kid. They understood but i regret it. We never get that time back and you only realize these things when you get older. Then you start losing loved ones the older you get and the more apparent this message becomes❤
You got it, brother!! Coming from a 67 year old white guy!
I’ve heard this song a thousand times, I’ve seen some reactions too, I’ve had similar thoughts about the song as well. But your reaction sticks out. You made me realise some important stuff, thank you for sharing!!!
Great reaction. It is good to hear another human being expressing feelings and understanding. Baring your soul at the right time to a close friend or relative can be cathartic for both.
We nearly lost our son in a car accident when he was 19, god gave us a second chance, from that day I tell everyone I love you whenever they leave ❤
