For those that didn’t make peace with their Dad before he passed, this song is incredibly powerful

[@jvandoren69]

I can relate whole heartedly. We had a major falling out. Didn't speak to him for 15 1/2yrs. He passed 1/22.

[@FBG_Cory]

My daughter passed away and we never had a chance to tell each other how we feel and i wanted to tell her how much i love her i had this song played at her funeral so maybe other people would say how they feel before it's to late i cry when i hear this song i hope others will tell their loved ones so they don't have to cry

[@ericsellersjr3214]

In my Opinion, if you don’t tear up during this song you really do have a “Hard Heart”….Gets me Everytime too ❤️

[@dale60035]

Without question Mike Rutherford's lyrics are powerful, however Paul Carrack's vocals are what makes the song come breathing at you from his heart.

[@srdjanjapanmusic5817]

B.A. Robertson`s lyrics and song..Co write M.Rutherford..Carrack`s father also died, when Paul had 11 years..That s the one of the reasons, WHY song is so , so deep and Powerful..Have a nice time, and God Save you, all..

[@dangkimmai708]

This song brings back great memories.. Love 80s music.. I miss you Dad

[@Rejoran]

Paul sings with all his heart as he did in 1989. Still pulls on the heart strings. Absolutely fabulous.

[@getdusty1]

I could NEVER be in this band and have to sing these lyrics. Tug at the heartstrings??? I'd be crying like a child!!! I'd be a basket case.

[@jimbeamairstreams8455]

I was 21 when Dad died. I had just come from the hospital when they called to tell me he passed. I miss him. I see his strong hands when I close my eyes. Just one more hug... just one more hug.

[@statsguru9751]

Was fortunate to say "see you soon" shortly before both my Parents passed away. Hell on Earth when you are doing it - A beautiful memory to hold in your Heart. Love You Eva and George Larking. Your Teachings, LOVE and Support, remain with me everyday.

[@dekaOsiris]

Man this hits a chord with me, i wasn't there when my Dad passed away on the morning of November 19 1999. We got along but i wish I had more time with him.

[@kenhatchett7645]

One of the best songs ever produced has that special message for all of us to remember

[@buggyboogle9]

This song is an anthem

[@rcelski3891]

Idk if I'll ever be able to listen to this song without tearing up, idk if I ever wanna not cry when I hear this amazing and well written song

[@ladylizzie21]

Beautiful. I so miss the bands that actually had amazing lyrics.

[@percygamboa4944]

Love all of Paul Carrack’s songs, but I’ll pay full price to see him in a concert just for this song!

[@knackersification]

I have. Believe me. You need a hankie.

[@benbroyles7836]

My father passed away in 1985. My daughter was born the following July. I could swear I saw his spirit in her tear. Never spoke with him very much, I loved him, wish I had told him... In The Living Years

[@wjamin7259]

he could feel it and he always by your side. RIP.

[@rolandshehu7253]

Even if one didn't say it, the parent feels it.

[@getdusty1]

Beautiful, Ben. The opposite happened to me. Our first grandchild was born and my father passed away later that same year.

I can listen to this over and over. I will share this one on my FB page as I did the entire concert...but this is such a moving standout. It deserves a separate post.

Absolutely.

[@martinodendaal1703]

I have always thought that Paul is one of the best male singers ever. I just love his voice - it's so flawless and he sings so effortless.

My Uttmost Respect To Mike and The Mechanics. 🫡🇯🇪🫡

[@jeffviola6948]

Reminds me of the pain I feel pertaining to my own relationship with my old man. There’s still time and the memories still remain strong.

[@hansmiczek4373]

Absolutely amazing voice and lyrics ❤

[@jackiesmith3684]

One of the most powerful songs I've heard makes me think of the people I've lost especially my mum and wee sister and the most recent one was my nephew Grahame who died at 48yrs old such a loving funny laddie always singing and would have gave you his last if you needed it his big brother Billy and the rest of us are still grieving for our loved ones mum you were my rock and my friend carol you were the baby of the family Grahame you were a loving nephew right up until you died miss you all so much rip to yous all xxx

[@razvanpop7818]

Such an incredible song, I always play it when I think of my dad and yes I wish I told him many things in the living years, hug your father every chance you get!

[@busteredwards2319]

Preciosa melodía con un gran mensaje el cual deberíamos recordar me considero un fiel seguidor de esta espectacular banda de los años 80 sin duda los mejores en lo musical y en lo personal también hace años que los dejé esos maravillosos años 80pero siempre los recordaré el tiempo pasa muy rápido que nos quiten lo bailado 💪🇪🇦

[@JR-vg1kr]

I had many differences with my Dad, it wasn't until my 30s that i resolved them,sadly at 49 i lost him.i wish he was still here, i have so much more i want to say. This song made me resolve those issues and difficult times we had when i was a child wat back when this was released. Do it today, go see him, son or daughter go to him and sort it, then enjoy your time you both have left together. RIP DAD (John) Thanks BA Robertson (check the writers version) it was his experience in the lyrics he wrote. just copy and paste this (ba robertson living years above ) and also you will hear the name of the young babys real name from the song, and there is a surprize at the end of video(i wont tell you,it will spoil it), you think this version makes you cry watch this one the way it was meant to be.

[@Dannielive]

Every generation Blames the one before And all of their frustrations Come beating on your door I know that I'm a prisoner To all my Father held so dear I know that I'm a hostage To all his hopes and fears I just wish I could have told him in the living years Oh, crumpled bits of paper Filled with imperfect thought Stilted conversations I'm afraid that's all we've got You say you just don't see it He says it's perfect sense You just can't get agreement In this present tense We all talk a different language Talking in defence Say it loud (say it loud), say it clear (oh say it clear) You can listen as well as you hear It's too late (it's too late) when we die (oh when we die) To admit we don't see eye to eye So we open up a quarrel Between the present and the past We only sacrifice the future It's the bitterness that lasts So don't yield to the fortunes You sometimes see as fate It may have a new perspective On a different day And if you don't give up, and don't give in You may just be okay So say it loud, say it clear (oh say it clear) You can listen as well as you hear Because it's too late, it's too late (it's too late) when we die (oh when we die) To admit we don't see eye to eye 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 I think I caught his spirit Later that same year I'm sure I heard his echo In my baby's new born tears I just wish I could have told him in the living years Say it loud, say it clear (oh say it clear) You can listen as well as you hear It's too late (it's too late) when we die (it's too late when we die) To admit we don't see eye to eye So say it, say it, say it loud (say it loud) Say it clear (come on say it clear)

all my regards for this kind of music

[@backpages1]

We have a policy at our house. Whenever a family member or close friend is leaving, we make sure we tell them we love them. With a kiss or hug if possible. You never know when that person is going to step out of the house and into eternity. It was a close call for me one day when I kissed my wife good bye, and later that day a 28’ motor home hit me broadside at 70 mph. I made it home that day, but it put a brilliant point on our policy which now extends to telephone calls. You just can’t say I Love You enough.
