Mike co-wrote the song and lyrics. He was playing guitar and pictured with his actual son in the video. This song has affected and inspired millions. What a great piece of music. (the break Genesis took in the late '70s coincidently gave us some AMAZING music.....think Phil Collins solo work and all the other wonderful tunes Mike + Mechanics recorded!)

Brilliant song and lyrics by Mike Rutherford a founder member of Genesis. He wrote the lyrics as a tribute to his father and their difficult relationship. Paul Carracks unique voice adds depth to the message and turns the track into a timeless classic!

Sarah, everybody feels this song in one way or another. "I wasn't there that morning when my father passed away." Yeah, I missed my dad by a few hours. That was several years before this song came out. These guys put it perfectly in the message. We all need to connect before we die. Great reaction as always.

Hello Sara. I have to say i love your reaction..why...because it is so emotional and genuine. The emotion and joy that you show is so natural. This song is a fine example of making you feel this and more. It is a Universal message for all manking. Don't wait for tomorrow to tell or show somone how you feel . The moment is now. Love and kindness is the way for all even though we fail at times. When it matters and when the time comes it is the truth, a way for us all to find the reason why we are all here. To the light we must all walk to. Well done Sara. Your a lovely person with an equally lovely soul

My dad will have passed 2yrs ago this coming Dec. It's songs like this that I grew up with, that helped me make sure I never left anything unsaid. Dad wasn't always a perfect, or even a good dad, but he loved us & did his best. I know he had many many regrets at the end, but he was surrounded by his 3 daughters & I hope he understood that we didn't blame him, and that we loved him. Still hurts like hell though

This was an excellent one for you to take on. I remember when this first hit radio - it was instantly huge. I was selling compact discs at the time and it was extremely popular. I have been fighting an incurable, but treatable, cancer for 6 years. Many good things have happened in that time, especially how the relationships with each of my family members has grown. Right now, today, each of us has one less day to go than we did yesterday. Make the most of the day ahead.

Sarah, have you reacted to "Monsters" by James Blunt. In a way, it is the opposite of this song. Let me know if you agree with my opinion. Also, I never saw your long hair before. You looked especially lovely today. Thank you for remining me of this Classic !!😊

Mike is the guitar player from Genesis / Phil Collins. This is the first Solo Album. Background 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.[6] Rutherford said:[6] 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.

My brother and I have always had so, so many issues. Many times I have tried to talk to him, but he holds onto so many stupid things, and won't move past them. How can you move forward if you won't do that? He is 16 years older than I am, and that has always been a huge gap anyway. I tried not long ago, again, and it just went nowhere. Sometimes all you can do is walk away. Sadly.
