You are loved Paul. This song came in 1988. I graduated high school in 1986 and in July 1987 my Dad and Brother were killed in a car wreck. So when my mom passed in July 2019 I came back to this song for solice. Best vocals on this planet. I'd give money to talk to you. I love everything you touch, it's golden.

Sorry for all of the immense loss you’ve endured. Music is good medicine, helps us cope, helps us remember, helps us cry and find some joy too, thankfully. And Paul Carrack’s music and voice is more medicinal than most.

Gifted. Real music. 65 year old black woman and still listening in 2023.

HOW is Paul Carrack still singing this well? Such pure tone with so little crackle or gravel at such an advanced age is incredible, his range is still superb, and in my opinion his chops are as good, his technical choices more interesting, and his musicality richer than at any point in his career. Absolutely inspiring.

Jesus, man. I just lose it when I hear this man sing. Especially this song...losing your father, like I did in '22 - it just isn't easy. Thank God for this song, and this singer.

Loosing your Father at any age my friend is heartbreaking, took me years to square up to it . This song says it all for me , I’m with you buddy heart and soul 🫡

This song will newer get old...and his voice is Diamond

Seen this Dude a dozen times, absolute legend, what a singer & musician, this is the best version he's ever done in my opinion. My Father was very good to me then we fell out because he didn't think my then girlfriend was good enough. We never spoke for 25 years, however when he had a sudden heart attack I went to see him. He told me he deeply regretted his judgement & I left to come home. He died 1 hour later & I wish I had the chance to say a few things to his face. Now been married to the same girl for 43 years. RIP Dad.

"We sacrifice the future It's the bitterness that lasts"

Paul Carrack is truly one of those voices that has aged much like a fine wine. He has covered decades with thoughtful music that brings a rich bounty of emotion to so many of us.

My brother and my dad a strained relationship for many years. When mom and dad needed help he stepped up big to help them. Spending time with dad as he began to fade physically and mentally helped tear down the wall that both of them had built. He was a good son to our parents. My brother told me he heard this song right after dad passed away and broke down crying.

Paul Carrack is indeed a blessed artist - he is a great musician, he is humble, he is genial and his voice is still the same of when he started singing.

Wonderful. This song gets me every time. I was brought up by my grandad and I went against everything he said. I got jailed in 1994 for a gang fight in Glasgow. The last time my grandad saw me was when I got dragged out the house by the police. He died the day before my trial. I’ve moved on from the world of craziness (now a church pastor). I now sit with my 5 year old daughter and listen to this. She falls asleep while I sit with tears in my eyes, regretting that I never got to tell my grandad how grateful I was for him. Wish I told him this in the living years.

hello, how are you doing it is nice meeting you here.

sometimes as kids and even adults we come to regret not talking to those we love, we take for granted life. I'd give anything to just say one more time to my dad and mom I love you. I'm 78 now but still think of them daily

You still got the chops, Paul. Bravo! 🙌

Mr. Carrack is simply an amazing performer.

I love his voice and lyrics. Paul is one of the greatest Soulsingers of our times!! Thank you Paul !! This performance hit me directly into my heart. Love and Peace to you out there !!!

I never heard a song that makes me remember and miss my Dad as much as this one. I have a hard time looking at pics of my Dad as it brings back too many memories that I know I can't get back. Value every moment you have.

It's very hard Andrew 😢❤❤

This song is written from the perspective of a son who has a conflicted relationship with his father. After his father dies, he discovers that he and his dad had a much stronger bond than he ever realized, and the son regrets not saying more while his dad was alive. It was written by group founder Mike Rutherford and the Scottish songwriter B.A. Robertson; the pair also co-wrote the first Mike + The Mechanics hit, "Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground)." Both Robertson and Rutherford had recently lost their fathers when they wrote this song, making it a very personal endeavor for both of them.

Legend voice...Legend musician Massively underrated Hugely loved ❤

Wow! This gave me goose bumps. One of my first jobs, listening to the radio 1988...I'm now 52, Thank you!

The song really reminds me of myself and my father. Didn't have a great relationship until later in life.... My early fourties things started to really get better.... Then I lost him.... I cry about every time I hear this song

Saw him at the Palladium a few years back, magnificent. Need to see him again soon as his voice is truly world class

I have loved Paul Carrack, and his voice since early 70’s and Ace. I listen to him on my quiet days and sing with him at the top of my voice. Love this performance so very much. Raw and classic at the same time. Oh I hope God blesses us with many more years; you’re always going to be in my heart (and on video) . I’ll keep singing with you, Paul.

Thanks Paul bringing memories of when my dad passed at a young age 49 years we fell out earlier in the day but I went to a phone box to apologise he said he wasn’t feeling well and died later that evening I drank a bottle of whiskey playing this song continuously just glad we made up I was 27 years old my dad was gone ❤always been a special song to me .

15 year anniversary of my dad's passing tomorrow. My wife is 3 months along with our first son together. This song makes the waterworks flow

Listening to the greatest musical masterpiece ever created in my 44 years of life. I want this song played at my funeral, with a message attached ... "Very few people actually loves thy neighbor anymore." 😭😭🥰❤❤❤❤

Paul, Thank you for all your music in the groups you have been frontman. I can especially relate to The Living Years Many blessings

We need this song today more than ever.

I went to see Paul carrack in the Olympia in Dublin, he is just so special.The real deal musician.From Ace (how long) to now . Best on the planet . I’m so glad I grew up in that era

The first time I heard this song, it moved me to tears. It still does. I relate... so many conversations I had with my dad and so many things that were left unspoken. I was on the road when I got the message that my dad had passed. I sat on the side of the highway crying and wishing I had been by his side when he left us.

I absolutely love this man, song, generation.

Quel talent Paul Carrack ! C'est toujours un grand plaisir de l'écouter.

Wasn't there that morning when I told the docs his wishes he'd told me a week before we're to "pull the plug." Weep to your song, Paul. Bless you.

Paul is an amazing solo artist that has the ability to heighten moods and attitudes. His music can lift your spirits in the toughest of times. He can elevate others that are already incredible musicians. Squeeze was awesome,fun,silly and had great lyrics. I thought they were perfect and unique with their style. They couldn't sound any better. And then came Paul. His style blending with theirs absolutely enhanced the music. You can see it in the faces of the band members. They seemed to be having a blast from start to finish whereas before they seemed to be working.

Beautiful version of this classic.

This was one of my father's favourites. RIP the CJP. ❤❤

I never knew my father or my mother, I spent my whole childhood in care mostly in children's homes...but you touched my heart Paul

Just so beautiful - enough said!

LEGEND ❤️❤️

Just wow…. So beautiful

The lyrics had been running thru my mind this morning after the death of a family member, not a father. The message of not waiting to mend fences before we die is in the lyrics so loudly and clearly that we cannot and should not ignore their truth. 👍

One of the best voices of today or any day!

Thank you, heartfelt memory in this song, thank you!

I ❤️ everything about this. Thank you Paul & band.

Really love this performance , touched every time when listening this song alone
