The Isaacs - The Living Years (Live)

[@mikeallen1391]

my dad died of bone cancer aged 51. He was the last of the 3 years national service, did his time in the RAF, was flying stores into Christmas Island when they were testing atomic bombs. many more like him died of exposure to radiation. the UK government has still not acknowledged their part in the service men's early deaths. as this song says we never saw eye to eye. I only really began to understand him when I new he was in his last months. my only regret is he never met my son and daughter and they never met their granddad.

Sonya's just tearing up that mandolin, Y'all are awesome!

[@stevenbloss8416]

Dad told me years ago....55 is the way to drive, 65 is as fast as I go, now when the limit is 70, people just aim their car and some go faster, Glad mom is still there to sing with the family on this song.....he would be there making it even more happy........

[@roxysproxsee4077]

The blend, the tones and that blonde dynamo in the middle... Wow. Tears. Gratitude. Stellar. I , Dad, and I love you.

[@elainehoward7472]

2024. Still love it.

[@DRLEWIS]

I did not do all that I should have durng my mother's Living Years. I love her, miss her greatly and I will honor her memory. She did the best she could, with what she had to work with.

[@mleah9489]

Dear Isaac's, I've follwed you since 1996. I love your ministry, your testimonies, your vulnerability, your missions, your transparent faith, and strength. This time in my life happens to be the worst ever. I have looked up your songs for so many reasons over the years: for joy, inspiration [wanting to 'feel' God's presence], for a sense of connectedness, a sense of church family, and for now healing. I cannot tell you how many memories I have of your sweet family, even though we've never met, your music feels like a faithful friend; still there awaiting a call and happily willing to listen. Thank you🤍

[@frankielight4103]

[@Patsy-rr5rj]

This song will never be forgotten. I love this song and I know I will never forget it.

[@lindaallenpsychic]

My heart just melts and I weep listening to you. You have saved me so many times. I have RA and many health issue and you make me ready. I do not even look sick. Look like my picture here and am very ill. Thank you for all you do. I love you. You girls and the young man and our darling mom I love

[@debradaniel3385]

Awesome Harmony!!! I grew up on Gospel music. Love the Isaacs ! God Bless You All !!

[@JH-cb1kq]

THE WORLD NEEDS THIS 100 FOLD

[@andyanders]

Heard the band tonight in The Villages FL. My wife, Lisa Haley and I seldom had the opportunity to catch other bands live unless we were also performing the same festivals. But since the Covid shutdowns put us off the road and out of work. So when our good friend John Paris Frantz invited us to the show tonight we couldn't resist. It was phenomenal! Tight backup band, great songs and an entertaining presentation plus heavenly vocals... Who could ask for more? And a Beatles cover no less! Terrific! I am now a fan. Good luck with Reba! You'll be killin' it!😀

[@Svein02]

Bill Gaither, among all your great artists, this must be the most harmonious, hardworking and professional group. Admire the Isaacs, they are like nothing else. Greetings from somewhere in Europe :-)

[@truthfulpatriot9129]

I Really appreciate Christian Artists that embrace other Songs that Are Impeccably Written…..Paul Carrack is the Best….great job Sonya and group🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️🙏🎤

[@viviethstephens4629]

I love this very much it's blesses me so much thank all so much God bless you all

[@sheilacape4794]

Just a very special song, in remembrance of my parents, thank you Jesus for blessing me with them!!!

[@erickruiz-hl5vs]

Since I was 12, my dad hasn’t been in the picture. This song brings back some kind of feelings I can’t put into words.

[@paulsobu9084]

God bless you for sure. . 👍

[@happyolddude]

Many people overlook the fact that not only are the Isaacs great singers but they are very talented musicians and quite incredible songwriters! Just listen to their class as not many other Gospel groups can say the same..

[@taccamine8312]

I totally agree. Though this exact one is not their own song (It is a song by Mike and the mechanics) But their spin on it, is mesmerizing The instrumentation and harmonies are breathtaking. and it really captures the meaning of the lyrics.

[@tinaallen3558]

Ladies. Ben you did it again.. Love The Isaacs. I'm sure Mike n Mechanics loved it too. Awesome song. I always loved this song..2020 MY Dad is still here .Going on 89 yrs old. I love you. Dad. He always played Grass. He knew many! Bill Monroe When I was little My father was one to Introduce him on Stage. He knew alot of Grass. Loves to sing!

[@vico.2514]

I thank you Isaacs for honoring your mother. I have noticed that she is in your videos but is not part of the singing most of the time. This song has blessed me and I am sure it has blessed others. This is the first time I have seen Bill Gaither cry. May the good Lord Bless Y'all!

[@judysmith6321]

Your right I have never seen Bill cry. I think he was shedding those tears when Ben started singing about his father dying, and it choked Bill up a bit.

[@happyolddude]

Partly true he also cryed when he was with Joey Feek one time.

[@michaelwenzel1715]

man, this tune is too good to be true ...

[@georgeherring7370]

So much talent straight from heaven. Thankyou

[@sharonelliott3869]

First Class, Elegant and Sincere Christians, Amen!

[@david-xw7xf]

No one matter which of the three sing it is brilliant your mother must be very proud of you all Lilly God bless you you darling love 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@davidheadley98]

Phenomenal version of this beautiful, haunting , and moving song. I wonder if Bill Gaither ever heard the original version. He was truly moved by what we saw here.

[@garthhunt7238]

An absolutely beautiful rendition!❤️👍

[@warrenthomas9423]

The Isaacs are a Blessing with today's Blue Grass music.

[@dirigoelectric]

A beautiful song, one of my favorites. I lost my father and never got to say goodbye. This is such a wonderful remake of this song.

[@roxysproxsee4077]

I suffered the same fate with my dad. I haven't been able to move on and heal the one I feel I should have by now, so I find I need songs like this to remind me to keep trying my best. And that the path to acceptance of his passing without any closure does not have to take me any farther away from his memory and the legacy of our love for one another.

[@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.

[@petermessner8916]

Wonderfull😊😊

[@tewodrosbeyene3255]

I am blessed by these songs and can't stop listening to the songs of The Isaacs. You really are blessings to many. May God bless you abundantly and make you blessings to many more.

[@JohnSmith-lv9rj]

Love the Isaacs , I had the pleasure of getting to meet them .... :)

[@dovieadkisson2199]

I hope that the Isaacs see this post. I love you guys so much. have since the early 90's. keep on blessing the world with your amazing vocals and testimony. Dovie A.

[@M1SSMAGIC]

[@ViViViVi-rz2um]

my eyes turn blurry... reminds me of my Belate Father ...I love you Dad..

[@MattSingh1]

Have you listened to the original?

[@DRLEWIS]

They sure can make you cry! The Isaac's family can make you cry

[@mrbee3377]

absolutely beautiful arrangement. love the key change. My Dad died in 1988, the year this was released !

[@FiremanOly]

[@martynhamer3044]

Bravo! what a lovely song sung so well , touched a few memories I had nearly forgotten , peace and happiness..

[@jeffstrack1143]

Mike & the Mechanics would absolutely love this cover. The Mandolin is awesome👏👏👏👏

[@RayBreaux]

Absolutely beautiful. I wish I could have told my dad in the living years. This is a tear jerker. Excellent.

[@kuzuveyotunyi3990]

[@noritafinney9353]

I just love Ben. He is so adorable. Love his sweet smile. Love his voice. Love his glasses and his hat. And I love to listen to the girls as well, but is just special in my eyes.

[@01clb]

Love this song and love the Isaacs - I was not familiar with then at all before today. I'm Gonna Love You Through It is an incredibly beautiful and moving song.....someone posted it on FB

[@RAB19751]

01clb that was written for their mom when she was battling cancer. Sonya, her husband and some other Nashville songwriter worked on it with Sonya.

[@yanmuntu4323]

Teach angel how to sing...like your Mom GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU !

[@rusiladivere8540]

phenomenal indeed....more preferred version! bless you ISAACS....

[@judsonh1949]

What a fabulous interpretation !! Super vocals with incredibly tight harmonies and crisp precise instrumentals. Fantastic!

[@phillcooper2194]

These folks are absolutely precious! I love them.

[@lynlockrey7372]

A beautiful and touching presentation by such a talented family. It came from the heart. My wife and I lost our dear son aged 50, from a massive heart attack in 2021. This song, "In the Living Years", has been a favourite of mine for many years. One blessing we have is to know we were the best of mates right up to the moment of his death, even as I was trying desperately to save him by doing CPR but couldn't. God has given us grace through the tough times and the loving memories we have. We can never take for granted the importance of the living years God gives us. God bless you The Isaacs for this lovely song. Lyn and Narelle Lockrey, Australia.

[@miblangel62]

Beautiful version of this songs..makes me think of my dad who has passed away.

[@deanweaver6106]

. love you DAD!!! Never told him he never told me. Love this song

[@harryprater9014]

I love the Issacs....beautiful version of this classic song....my favorite version.

[@bigred3096]

Beautiful rendition! 🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@dingomine]

Gorgeous cover !!, one of the the best I've ever heard.

[@ThatGuyInKansas]

The emotion on Bill's face caught me off guard. He must have really been relating to the words.

[@toanz4869]

What a lovely song with such a beautiful melody heaven sent this song indeed 🙏💕

[@LorettaMikrut]

Love to hear the Isaac singing and Ben have a melody voice and God bless you all in Jesus name Amen ❤🙏🌺

[@RoyTrouerbach]

I love the Isaacs. Great harmonies and Instrumentation. My favorite for Christmas is their acapella performance of Away In A Manger.

[@joeherald7319]

Beautiful. Some very good voices here. And there is that special magic of what happens family members harmonize.

[@alsoncole]

Love the song, love the arrangement, love the performance. The Isaacs are family who can sing and play anything and make it totally their own. This song is as relevant now as it was when it was first a hit. But I think what I like most about this video is how impeccably but casually it's performed. I mean, Sonja's mandolin playing is fantastic, yet she's sitting there with her legs crossed like it's the easiest thing in the world to play and sing like that! And there's so much energy to it and Becky's guitar playing that it sounds as full as if they had an entire band backing them. And then yes, Ben's smile is infectious and the lyrics seem to be particularly poignant to him. It's all just really beautiful and perfect.

[@daveenyart]

All of us are better because of this performance. Uplifting.

[@BanjoLemonade]

This is soooo good! Have watched this a ton and just ordered the album. Can't wait to get it. Keep up the great work Isaacs! God Bless.

[@dawnkintgen4971]

Beautiful Harmony 🎤🎶 Awesome rendition, Love the different leads...Smiling, Thinking Fondly of Family and Friends passed 😉🎁✨💞

[@aosunepjamir2231]

How come I'm coming across such a divinely sounding band just now. It's unbelievable ❤️❤️

[@kurtgourlay6627]

2 years ago my father past away from motor neurons disease (MND) 2 years before that I had a big fight with him and stopped talking for the next 2 years and things just got worse for him. I was interstate and when I heard that he was not far away from passing, I tried so hard to get there to make things right, but wasn't able to get there in time, and I missed telling him that I loved him and was sorry for talking to him , it hit me hard so hard pride is a horrible thing . I found out later that he spoke to someone and said that he loved me ,and was proud of me , but I still missed out on making it right. This song means so much to me because of that so thank you. .

[@jlfcpa]

Kurt Gourlay I waited one day too late to say goodbye to my Dad and my Mom and I were estranged when she was dying. My daughter won't talk to me for 2 years now. Heaven looks better every day.

[@postprofiticproduction1813]

[@tribefan9112003]

One of the most profoundly written songs.....lots of wisdom and insight in this song

[@RAB19751]

There is no better than these harmonies. Some may be as good but no better. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎶🎶👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I think one thing makes them so good is the love you feel they have for each other. It makes it where they have perfect harmony in song and in soul. 🎶🎶🎶
