My dad committed suicide when I was 9 months old, so this song hits hard. Let it all out brother don't be ashamed to cry or let your emotions out

[@sicr7373]

I'm a 59 year old man, I don't have a single blood relative left, all my family have gone back to the stars. There's rarely a day goes by that I don't weep for them, especially my Mum. Crying is a release, a strength even, and please, I say to anyone, don't ever be ashamed of crying, be proud of it!....Thank you both for a lovely and genuine reaction to this beautiful song.

You have a living brother here always for you

[@timburks3806]

You better hang on to each other. He would fight a bear for you, and you give him support when he needs it. It's the relationship between a man and a woman. You're very blessed to have each other to lean on. May God bless you.

Crying is a very powerful tool in life -- you are so right

[@christineirving4491pluviophile]

Please, please don't be embarrassed by your emotional response to this song, I can pretty much guarantee that we have been moved to tears by these lyrics.

[@helenab7390]

Watching your reaction helped me cry too...thank you ❤

[@acasacas9844]

Well said Christine

[@timr5490]

As a 30 year old man, that song inspired me to tell my father what he meant to me. Couldn't find the words face to face, so I wrote him a letter telling him what he meant to me. 20 years later as he lay dying, I did tell him these things and after he passed when going through his things, I found the letter I had sent him. He had kept it all those years.

[@ThomasHathaway-ft9fu]

That is such a beautiful story. How you must have felt when you found the letter.all those years he knew!

[@daveofarrell7795]

Such a moving reaction. Everybody cries at some time. It doesn't make you a lesser person, it's a sign of inner strength and compassion.

[@steveakhurst7845]

[@KevinSchmitt77]

As REM said, "Everybody Hurts" If you keep it all bottled up it will only come out at the wrong time. Emotional constipation is a thing.

[@M00159]

I wish you could share your pain with us. It’s obvious that this song hits close to home for you. Sometimes it helps to open up and embrace the grief and work through it and share it , because it helps to get it out. It dulls the sharp edge a little. But I certainly respect you for not wanting to and I understand. I also give you a lot of credit for finishing the song while having so much pain. Thank you for doing this reaction, as tough as it was. Thank you.

[@joelliebler5690]

So true it is a sign of being human and feeling empathetic!

[@traceythomas3571]

I love this song. Totally understand very moving lyrics

[@scottmorton3481]

I'm crying watching you crying to this song. It's nothing to be ashamed of. It shows your empathy, humanity and compassion.

[@davidhubbert9445]

It sure does emotions are real and are felt so much .good job sending love to you both❤❤.

[@davidharlow8614]

It takes a big man to cry and it shows compassion as well as strength

[@AFmedic]

I'm 73 and the part that really hits me hard is, "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." In 1963 I was 13 and my Father died of a heart attack while out of town. I'm teary eyed while I'm typing this.

My father died of a heart attack at my last high school football game. I still cannot talk about it 50 years later.

[@Mike-dk7wj]

Me too....

[@garybregel4259]

My dad just had his 90th birthday in 2010 and the people at the nursing home said that he was in great health and was doing well. Two weeks later he died. If he was in poor health we would have had one of those eye-to-eye talks, but we thought we had plenty of time for that, but I guess we didn't.

[@almagwalls]

Gods blessings on you sir. Tears are nothing to be ashamed of they are indicators of strength and compassion. This song makes me cry every time I hear it and I am 75 yrs old

[@DocLampLighter]

Beautiful.... I'm 62 and I still break down.

[@crisRunlikehell2024]

Brother you don’t need to apologise to anyone , you have a beautiful soul and the world would be a far better place if we had more of you .

[@moodaymoom2271]

This has to be the rawest reaction I have ever seen to this song. It touches me in a place that nobody can touch. You are obviously feeling the meaning behind the song. We all go through our own agonies but keep your head High, you seem such a thoughtful and caring soul. May God be with you.

[@zebedeedoodaah6454]

Don't worry brother. Your reaction is exactly why this song stands the test of time. It breaks everyone's heart everytime it is heard because it's the the truth of every one of us living a human life eh. Thankyou, All the very best. Zebedee from Oz.👍

[@frankofva8803]

I am 60 years old. I lost my dad when I was 10. I’m not ashamed to say I cry whenever I hear this song. The power of music.

[@graememackay1152]

Despite hearing this song hundreds of times over the years I still find it very emotional........and my father is still alive!

[@ToniM10]

DON'T STOP SHOWING EMOTION!!... Ur Reaction is REAL!!.. and PRECIOUS!!.. WE LOVE UUUUUU!!!.. DON'T STOP PLZZZ!!.. ✌️❤️❤️😎🙏🌎👍👍

[@middleamerica646]

In 1974 my father collapsed on the floor to a heart attack, I was only 7 years old. He was my hero and we did everything together and now he was gone. When this song came out in 1989 I was driving the 10 fwy through downtown Los Angeles and found myself weeping so badly I had to pull off the freeway because I could barely see. This song even all of these years later still gets me. And I was again weeping right along with you.

[@LordRahl1975]

There is no shame in crying. Good songs, especially those that are as meaningful and reflective like this one, can resonate very deeply and powerfully.

[@jennifermcdonald5432]

Showing emotion to a song’s lyrics means you understand what the song is saying to everyone who listens. The greatest compliment you can give. It means you’re strong enough to feel real emotions, and that’s not all that common. Especially for men!

[@joedirt688]

An incredible song that will forever stand the test of time.

[@yearbyred8588]

So sorry to see the song affect you this much. As someone who lost both parents and my only brother it resonates with me. My dad never got to see me married or my kids being born, so can empathise in how it hits you. Keep reacting honestly, it’s why we watch your channel.

[@mcfrazier100]

Andrei has a very beautiful soul. Never change... you are perfect. Love you guys. ❤🧡💛💙

[@donny1960]

You two are simply amazing....... You experience Music the way it was meant to be experienced......... Right from the heart........ I was crying right along with you........ ha ha. The lyrics of this song really hit you. Who can not relate?. ....... Thanks again for making me weep and smile.......

[@johnkhagler]

Don't be ashamed of your tears. Everyone has emotions. Music often leads me to tears. I genuinely appreciate your honest reactions.

[@kuberskioh]

As a 52 year old who buried his father at 19, his mother at 26, and his stepfather at 31, don't be ashamed of tour tears. I've known this song since it came out in 1988, and I still cry with it. None of my parents ever met my kids. They would be so proud of them. Especially my mother. As a single mom with only a son, she looked forward to one day having a granddaughter, and sure enough, my first born is a girl who is studyfor her PhD in a chemistry field. Grandma would so love you girl!

[@noniousxltruffles7454]

She does I'm sure. I've never had my own children but I'm lucky enough to be a not-step-mum and n-s-gran thanks to my late partner whose wife died around 7-8yrs before I met him. I am genuinely proud of his two daughters and their 3, now adult, kids - none of whom ever met their biological gran. Over the 21yrs we were together I came to love his daughters and I adore his 3 grandchildren. Through all of the time I've had with them I've been certain of one thing - that their mum and gran would have been lovingly proud of their achievements; I know this because I was lucky enough to have both my parents well into my middle years and I saw how they were with their grand and great-grandchildren. Amuse your girl with all the fun stories of your time with your mum that way she'll know her gran. Best thoughts.

[@olivermielich5836]

I cried with you. I love your reaction videos so much. Now in German, ich finde euch zwei ganz toll. Macht bitte weiter so, bleibt gesund und alles liebe für euch. Big big love from Germany ❤️❤️☘️☘️

[@joekilifin4998]

im a a 68yrold man im the same as you andrea i loved my dad so much i just never got the chance to tell him before he died what he meant to me i still regret it 16yrs later and it still hurts its nothing to be ashamed off .showing your feeling ,i wish you happiness joe

[@kohl2080]

I'm 50 and this song hits harder the longer I live. As a daughter and a mother...the lyrics are beautiful and haunting. Tears are expected ❤

[@Isleofskye]

Yes,you are right and just wait until you are 70,next year,in London,like I am :)

[@jonhenke1504]

If you don't at least get tears in your eyes with this song you're not human!!!! It's one of the best songs ever at bringing out emotions about family and how close you are to one another!!!!

[@dagodino]

I've heard that song 100 times over the years and still cry every time. Not a day goes by since 1983 that I don't think of and wish I could have told my father how much I loved and appreciated him.

[@daveloboda1769]

One of the most moving and powerful songs. Paul Carrack's voice is perfect for it. Don't worry about showing your emotions, it is a good thing.

[@Joe-jd4pn]

Not many men can listen to this song without tearing up. I teared up watching you cry.

[@davidhuggan6315]

"Mike", btw, is Mike Rutherford. He was the guitar player from Genesis. This was a side project of his

[@richardkafka5625]

No need to apologize for showing your feelings. Music can affect your emotions in ways we don't always expect. And thats the beauty of music. And this song really does hit deep.

[@MarkKlass]

My father died on March 14, 2012, three days after my birthday. They let me know he was gone by awaking me with a call at about 6:30 in the morning. He was 90 years old. He had passed away in the night at the nursing facility where he was living after having had a stroke. Except for my wife, he was my best friend. I still miss him every day and I often feel guilty because I hadn't been to see him in the two days before he passed. Oh, how I wish I could have those days back! If those who have gone on ahead of us can see our tears, the tears we cry are not wasted for they know we cry for them and the time we wish we could redeem. God bless you Andrei! except my wife

[@davidshort517]

Please don't apologize for crying it's a beautiful thing to Express your feelings

[@robis40]

I was with my dad when he took his last breath and while I was very sad, I was also happy that ne was out of his pain and he died in his house which was very dear to him. That was in 2005 but I will never forget that moment. My mom also passed in that same house in 2013 and I was with her as well. I still have the house and plan to retire there someday and if I'm lucky I'll take my last breath there as well.

[@marko.9615]

I lost my father 27 years ago. Only 4 months after his first grandson was born (first boy in family in 27 years). Hate he wasnt here to see him grow up.Im 56 and still cry like a baby when I hear this

[@JamieBBong]

I cry with you my friend.

[@mikebentley6200]

This song was released the same year my wife and I married. For various reasons, things were difficult for her at home, but soon she was leave and start her own life with me. Her father was a lovely, decent, hard-working man, for whom I had the most respect. Unfortunately he passed weeks before our wedding. On the day he died, my wife was at home, waiting for her turn to visit her father in hospital. In the weeks that followed, she confided to me that she realised at the time her father died, she was convinced she saw him pass the living room window and smile at her. She always felt that she never got the opportunity to tell him how much she loved him. This song was a huge hit with constant airplay, we would often hear it on the radio while driving. We would be reduced to tears.

[@TheBibleDefenders]

May you both be blessed! A great song and a great reaction! thanks for sharing

[@Sd-cl6of]

This great song came out in 1988. It means the same to me now, as it did back then. The message of this song is obvious to anyone who has lost someone in their life. Especially a parent. And hope you don't keep that promise. Because I cry then as i do now, every time I hear this. To me, that is what music is for. There is no shame in crying. It's you feel.

[@elysiumfire4230]

With its poignant sadness this can be a devastating song to listen to. If you've never heard it before it can catch you quite unaware. I'm 65 years old and still cry to it's good counsel. Whatever memories it stirred for you, Andre, to have such a visceral reaction, know that it is okay. We can't change the past, but we can try to understand it better in the present to help us all live a better and more informed and peaceable (in mind and soul) future.

[@maverick6606]

I knew, that Andrei will be overwhelmed by these lyrics, when I saw, that you are going to react to this song. It has a very deep meaning, and I can feel the meanings of this song very closely, because this song describes the situation between me and my father sooooo well (up to the moment, that as well I wasn't present, when my father passed away), and I never ever could move this things out of our ways to make full peace between us. This was especially not possible anymore because my father got mentally ill his last years and he saw and heard and felt things, which weren't really there and his reality shifted away from our reality and every try to find a common view of the simple things of life failed, let alone any attempt to remove all those old and unspoken things and getting peace over it. So in a way this is quite my song and I'm now in the same position Mike Rutherford describes in his song to call out to the people, to make it better than I did and say it out and say it clear (and make peace) before we die. Oh, and to Andre I want to say (as a man) : don't ever promise to never cry again! This is nothing you should be ashamed off! If this song reaches the peoples heart and possibly can make them to draw conclusions for their own life, then the song has full filled its purpose. Nobody should be ashamed about tears ever! Don't try to be the "hard" or "tough" guy, if nobody asks for it. You don't have to prove anything at all! Really - listen to your wise wife ;-)

[@dylanblue2271]

Please don't be afraid of being upset. It's an incredibly moving song. I cry every time and both my parents are alive. Let that emotion out. It can be cathartic, and there's no need for embarrassment. In fact we all love genuine reactions. It's very touching to see you both and the love you have for each other.

[@jamesfalato4305]

One Of The Best Reactions I've Ever Seen... TY TY TY...

[@MartinSouthgate-v2y]

I'm not surprised by your reactions. I've heard this song many times since it came out and it still brings tears to my eyes. A friend can't listen to it as much as he loved the song after losing his dad to cancer . They often didn't get on, but he died without them really ever talking about their differences. He had children born the year after his fa5her died, so the lyrics really go very deep with him. A very sad, but beautiful and meaningful song we all need to bear in mind as we age from our early years. I think someone needed a hug in the review, but he like me, would have literally fallen apart at any form of loving comfort. Sorry it was upsetting for you to listen to, but you can't deny that it is very poignant and beautiful.

[@andersgranstrom7128]

I can´t watch it either without tears, that´s just the way it is... But hey, tears are strength and being able to show means that you are a person with feelings, that you have an intact soul in that sence. The opposite, not being able to show emotion, is no way to live. Thank guys, you are great!!😍

[@rosariccardo3529]

I was brought up by my mother and her parents. In 1988, when the song came out, it made a deep impression on me and I tried to tell my family that I loved them. I don't think I managed to tell them everything on my heart, but I think they understood. I'm glad that I did because within 10 years I had lost them all. Sending you both love. 🖤🖤

[@curtismarsh4051]

A testament to the greatness of the band Genesis is the amazing solo works of band members Mike Rutherford, Peter Gabriel, and Phil Collins.

[@Genesis56457]

By far the most honest response to one of the best songs ever written

[@MrRaErickson]

This song is a friggin release. I cry every single time. Crying right now.

[@mikemiller3069]

This song is a poignant reminder to say what needs to be said, even if it is hard to do. My father passed away 22 years ago and we never had an adversary relationship but this song makes me cry anyway. But I try to express myself to everyone I love even if it hurts to have the discussion. Even conflicts usually end up strengthening the relationship once the dust clears.

[@bostonwhofan]

Perhaps the most eye-opening song of all time. A song everyone can relate to. There is no shame in crying when listening to a song that is as emotional and powerful as The Living Years is.

[@CharCanuck14]

When I saw the thumbnail I immediately thought "Don't click - you're going to cry." but tears sometimes need to come out. I clicked to shed tears in honour of my late father & to give a big thumbs up to Andrei & Dominika. Cheers, tears & chimo from Canada

[@wilsonwarner6903]

Respect. Sept. 08, 2011 at 8:30 p.m. my father passed. I was at work two hours away. This song hits hard, still.

[@lindablair-rk9vr]

What a beautiful message. We are all crying together from across the globe. Unreal how a song can touch ones soul. The whole world should listen to this. Maybe people would be kinder and appreciate how precious life is. Give each other a hug. God Bless. Have a good day!🐢

[@horacecomegna335]

[@angelskunk2206]

Unfortunately, there are many people all over the world who have the same reaction to this song that you did, Andre’, including me. My father is 84 and lives just one state away from me but I haven’t seen him in 27 years and have only spoken to him a handful of times in the past 27 yrs. The why of it doesn’t matter. I’ve let the tiny crack become a huge gap and time is closing in. Maybe I’ll be able to rent a car or something and make the 6 hr drive down to see him and talk to him before he leaves this world. He’s the reason I have blue eyes and dirty blonde hair and have a maniacal laugh, and he’s half of the reason I’m here.

[@thewiseoldman]

Don't ever be ashamed to show your feelings Andre, this song is about something many men go through with their dads. Love your channel. Love from Manchester UK 🙏🏻

[@derken6973]

I think this is your BEST reaction to one of the BEST songs... Thank you😘😘😘

There are a lot of sons who can relate to this song. I’m 74 and I don’t believe I’ve heard this song without crying. A beautiful song that hits the heart.

[@paulsorensen6643]

Heart wrenching song. Still listening this song in 2024. Paul Carrack deserves alot of credit for his amazing voice

[@calvinheadley5218]

There is not a man born, in history, or today, who did not have a problem with his father at one point. That same man cannot live without having a problem with his son. And that son will have a problem with that man, his father.... None of us ever get the choice to be there when our father passes... And every one of us wishes we had done more, said more, expressed more. It is life. We don't get a choice but to live it and move forward. There is no shame in crying for your dad.. There is no shame in crying for some regret. What we can do is pass along to our sons and daughters that it is okay to disagree, but never okay to stop loving. Thank you for the reaction.

[@travisrussell9166]

Never feel bad about showing your feelings, this song has a deep meaning for many people, i think all of us now and then have a few regrets, this song just makes you think of them and it moves emotions in your heart. Beautiful Reaction.

[@ritafoster4958]

Never be ashamed or embarrassed by your tears. Having a tender, empathetic heart is something to be proud of. Beautiful reaction. Your love for each other shone through brilliantly. This song makes me cry every time I hear it.

This song brings me to tears everytime I hear it. Still a beautiful song.

[@alicericcardi3199]

Never apologize for feeling your emotions. I started crying with a co-worker the “other day” unexpectedly. Something hit me as we were speaking and as my eyes started to tear up she smiled very gently and nodded her head in understanding. Being real is a super power.

[@jeffstevens4262]

Such a beautiful song, always makes me emotional because like many people out there, I never got to tell my parents how much I loved them.

Don't be ashamed of showing tears. You're still a man. These lyrics are some of the hardest hitting you'll ever deal with in your life.

The song written by Mike Rutherford (the guitarist), and B.A.Robertson (who had a number of hits as a solo artist) and sung by Paul Carrack (a brilliant singer/songwriter), the song is about Mike Rutherford's relationship with his father, I have seen Paul Carrack many times in concert and this always gets a standing ovation, unfortunately the third member of the group Paul Young passed away in 2000 RIP, so many MATM songs for you to react too Nobody's Perfect All I Need Is A Miracle Over My Shoulder Beggar On A Beach Of Gold Silent Running and more, great reaction guys, there is no shame in showing emotions ❤ 🇬🇧

Beautiful reaction. Don't be embarrassed about being emotional my man. My father died of a heart attack in 1986. The year after I joined the USAF. He was a WWII Vet himself. Our daughter was born in 1988. The year this came out. So this song gets me every time. She is a practicing physician now.

[@kbrewski1]

Do you know who Genesis is? Mike Rutherford was the bass player and guitarist of Genesis for over 50 years! The singer in this band is Paul Carrack, who also sang in Ace, Squeeze and his own solo albums. Mike wrote this song, and wrote many iconic songs for Genesis (Follow You Follow Me, Watcher of the Skies, Land of Confusion are a few). Heartfelt reaction. You could always pause a few minutes and then discuss... The song was inspired by Mike Rutherford and B.A. Robertson realizing their fathers had died around the same time, and they later learned singer Paul Carrack's father had died when he was young, as well. Rutherford said: "Being of similar age, we both came from an era where our parents had lived through two world wars, when young men wanted to be like their fathers - wear the same clothes, do the same things. But then there was a huge change and our generation wanted to be anything but their fathers. It wasn't our parents' fault, there was just a big social change. Pop music had come along, The Beatles, denim trousers... for the first time, teens had their own culture. That's how our generation couldn't really talk to our parents in the same way. So we had the idea of writing a song about how you never really talk to your father, and you miss out on these things."
