Mike and the Mechanics are an English rock supergroup formed in Dover in 1985 as a side project of Mike Rutherford, the bassist/guitarist and one of the founding members of the band Genesis. The band is known for their hit singles "Silent Running", "All I Need Is a Miracle", "Taken In", "The Living Years", "Word of Mouth" and "Over My Shoulder".
Initially, the band included Rutherford, vocalists Paul Carrack and Paul Young (R.I.P.), keyboardist Adrian Lee and drummer Peter Van Hooke. Carrack was generally assigned to ballads and more pop-oriented numbers, while Young handled the band's heavier work. After a successful decade, Lee and Van Hooke dropped out in 1995, and were not replaced. Following Young's death in 2000, Carrack became the band's sole lead vocalist until 2004 when the band (essentially a duo at this point) dissolved, with Rutherford and Carrack both later saying the band had "run its course".
Living Years is the second album by Mike + The Mechanics, released in 1988. The album reached number 13 on the Billboard 200 and number 2 on the UK Albums Chart.
Paul Young (17 June 1947 - 15 July 2000 R.I.P.) was a British singer and songwriter. He achieved success in the bands Sad Café and Mike + the Mechanics.
He formed Sad Café in 1976 and recorded with them until 1989. He enjoyed further chart success sharing lead vocal duties with Paul Carrack in Mike + The Mechanics, the pop-rock band formed in 1985 by Genesis guitarist Mike Rutherford.
During his career, he provided lead vocals on several chart hits, including Sad Café's "Every Day Hurts" and "My Oh My", and Mike + The Mechanics' "All I Need Is a Miracle", "Word of Mouth", "Taken In" and "Nobody's Perfect". He was brought into Mike + the Mechanics on the recommendation of producer/songwriter Christopher Neil and Neil's manager. Young's power and range lent themselves to the band's heavier songs. Young also sang the theme to the British children's TV series Avenger Penguins.
Young possessed a wide vocal range, often utilising fifth octave head voice notes, and a voice characterised as "rich". His early style has been likened to that of Mick Jagger; in the early 1980s, he began to explore a more "emotive" style.
On 15 July 2000, having no symptoms, Paul Young had a sudden heart attack at around 6.30pm at his home in Hale, Altrincham, and died shortly afterwards at 53 years old. An autopsy revealed "he had died from a heart attack and that it was not the first." His body was cremated a week later on 22 July 2000.
In 2011, a new album, Chronicles, was released, compiled from unfinished material recovered from his home studio, and containing a new single, "Your Shoes", written by Paul Young and Mike Rutherford ( • Paul Young - Your Shoe,s ). A plaque can be found outside his home on Hale Road, Hale, Cheshire.
Paying tribute, Rutherford said of Young, "He had a fantastic voice, one of the best rock voices of his generation ... a complete natural." Former Marillion vocalist and 1980s chart peer Fish described him as "one of the finest frontmen and singers from the history of the British music scene", who exhibited "immense personality, glowing charisma and outrageous positivism".
Lyrics:
It must be hard
Being an angel
When the devil in your heart
Won't set you free
It must be hard
Being an angel
When the world has let you down
Imperfection all around
Hey look at me
It must be hard
It must be hard
It must be hard.
Nobody's perfect
All of the time
Nobody's perfect
We are what we are
There's no perfect reason
And no perfect rhyme
For most of the time
That's what we're looking for.
Gentlemen gentlemen please!
Can you please support the notion
Of what I'm saying here
That the person here in question
Must be an angel here on earth
If they can't see a human being
For what a human being's really worth
Gentlemen please!
Nobody's perfect
All of the time
Nobody's perfect
We are what we are
There's no perfect reason
And no perfect rhyme
For most of the time
That's what we're looking for.
It must be hard
Being an angel
It must be hard
When the world has let you down
It must be hard
Being an angel
It must be hard.
Nobody's perfect
All of the time
Nobody's perfect
We are what we are
There's no perfect reason
No perfect rhyme
Most all of the time
That's what we're looking for...

Marcinie, jak zawsze ideał 🙂 Jeszcze tylko jedno krótkie pytanie: czy Peter van Hooke używał wtedy właśnie Simmonsa SDS 2000? Słuchając całej płyty (a myślę, że "The Living Years" znam dość dobrze) mam wątpliwości, który to model, stąd moje pytanie (w kilku utworach pojawia się brzmienie w stylu "klasycznego Simmonsa").

[@marcinnsz]

Dzięki! Również się zastanawiam czy używał SDS 2000. Bardzo możliwe. Brzmienie perkusji jest najbardziej zbliżone do sampli z sds 2000 (lecz w studyjnych warunkach na pewno nieco się zmieniło). Jeżeli chodzi o klasyczny dźwięk SIMMONSA (SDS V) to raczej nie ma w nagraniach tego albumu. W 1988 (rok wydania albumu) klasyczne brzmienie już wychodziło z "mody" i koncentrowano się w brzmieniu akustycznej perkusji (najczęściej z reverbem typu "gate") . W 1989 roku zamknięto fabrykę Simmonsa i jednocześnie był to ostatni model SDS , który oprócz klasycznego brzmienia miał próbki akustycznej perkusji (w coverze użyłem właśnie zestawu "ROCK" z reverbem GATE ).

[@Mig77PL]

@@marcinnsz Właśnie dlatego napisałem, że w stylu klasycznego Simmonsa, a nie wprost klasyczny🙂 Mam na myśli niektóre dźwięki tomów w "Blame" i przejścia w "Beautiful Day" jako takie szczególnie przypominające mi klasykę, choć faktycznie inne, niż klasyczne Simmonsowe tomy 😉

[@marcinnsz]

@@Mig77PL W przyszłości cover "Beautiful Day" (z SDS V). Tam dopiero będzie jazda z tomami! "Seeing Is Believing" również mam w planach na SDS V, ale werbel będzie z SDS 2000.

@@marcinnsz Dzięki za super plany i przypomnienie, że właśnie "Seeing Is Believing" też podchodzi pod moje spostrzeżenia, a raczej "podsłyszenia" 😃 P.S. "Slient Running" oczywiście cover najwyższych lotów, ale czego innego spodziewać się po Mistrzu Simmonsa?

[@marcinnsz]

@@Mig77PL Dzięki! Do mistrza jeszcze mi daleko😏. Po prostu to moje hobby (jedno z wielu) i staram się grać najlepiej jak potrafię..
