heart wrenching lyrics | Reviewer: Tony

------ About the song The Living Years performed by Mike & The Mechanics

I have an aunt who died this morning after a long battle with cancer. I was the one who had to tell my dad. They hadnt spoke in years which I find terribly sad. Now its too late to make up and after all life is too short for bitter feuds. I plan never to make the same mistake with my family. I guess this song brings it all in to perspective.

when i was leaving the hospital after my mom had her first heart attack this song came on the radio. it is a very sad song but it is all so true. i try to teach others to remember this lesson. you never know when you have spoken your last words to someone that you cant take back.

------ About the song The Living Years performed by Mike & The Mechanics

20 years ago we got a call from the hospital, my dad was in getting a routine test done, he would not survive the night they told us, his heart had failed - we got in the truck and drove there - when the radio came on, this song was playing. Timing is everything I guess, miss my Dad every day and I listen to this song every year on the anniversary of his death

It is too late when we die | Reviewer: jdj

------ About the song The Living Years performed by Mike & The Mechanics

Heard this song for the first time in mid August 2006 and made me think about my father who I had not talked to in years because of family problems. Less than a month later he passed. Everytime I hear this song it reminds me of him.

I had a row with my mother on the morning of her death and never had the chance to say sorry or how much I loved her.I will be sending the lyrics to my children so hopefully they and I will never make that mistake again

THE LIVING YEARS | Reviewer: Anonymous

------ About the song The Living Years performed by Mike & The Mechanics

My father was a sucessful business man, but failed miserably as a family man to all of his children. He had his favorites, but still lacked what we really needed. Nothing I did was ever good enough for him. Unfortunately he spent the last 8 years of his life suffering from Altzhimers, and did not know any of us. He died leaving 4 children and a step daughter wishing he had his priorities right. Now I find my son saying he loves me, but fails in showing it. As I enter my 60's I hope time doesn't run out on us. I sent him the words...hopefully he reads them!

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.

ITS TOO LATE | Reviewer: Jesse

------ 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.
