Review about Mike & The Mechanics Too true | Reviewer: L Kay
------ About the song The Living Years performed by Mike & The Mechanics
My Dad died last week. Luckily he knew I loved him, and I knew he loved me. But I have two sisters who aren't speaking and life is SO too short. I really like what others have said-
"let go of the anger; you can't change anyone else but you can change yourself"
"My family seems to think that everyone in it is disposable."
Thanks for that, folks. I WILL send this to my sisters, with your comments. Bless you all, and bless Mike Rutherford for such a gem.

------ About the song The Living Years performed by Mike & The Mechanics
My father and mother separated when I was pretty young. In my naive mind, I used to believe they would get together again and we would be a family once more. I passed up so many visits, he died when I was in second grade forty years ago. So many things I need to say but its too late for me. He needed to know that I loved him. Call your mom, hug your kids, let go of the anger; you can't change anyone else but you can change yourself. A truer song was never sung.
My family seems to think that everyone in it is disposable. This year for xmas, I'm sending all of the members in it who don't get along this song. My mother has one kidney left, and my brothers don't treat her well. None of them treat eachother particularly well. I hope this song helps bring them together and helps them to realize that they don't have forever to mend things with her so it's best to do it now.
Thank you

I have an uncle and a cousin who dont talk and every time I hear this song, I think of my uncle who is getting older every day. I always think I should send a copy to my cousin, but he is so stubborn he probably woudlnt get it

------ About the song Par Avion performed by Mike & The Mechanics
One of the most romantic songs ever written. The lyrics, the repitition of key phrases, the chord progressions that somehow give the melody a yearning quality, all combine to make the perfect I-miss-you-like-hell-why-can't-you-be-here-with-me song.
