Comments:The song "In the Living Years" has always eluded me to this day, and now that I have located the artists and the lyrics, I can understand why. I totally relate to this song and it has made me realize the importance of making sure we always tell our loved ones what and how we feel no matter how hard it is to say. Thanks for allowing me to join in to make comments and check out the things you have in here. Donna- Donnalynn, Blaine, WAPaul Young who was the 53 year old lead singer with Mike and the Mechanics (and previously Sad Café) died from a suspected heart attack in July 2000. He collapsed at his home in Altrincham, Cheshire, UK.- Danial, Dubai, OtherPaul Carrack was also in the bands Ace and Squeeze. This is one of my favorite 80's bands and I think they were very underated. I still have a videotape of the '89 Grammy performance of this song.- Steve, St. Louis, MOIt's pretty inspirational alright - powerful stuff!!- Helen, Dublin, IrelandLove this song, inspires me to live life in the now not in the past or future- Daniel, Perth, AK

Words can't describe how much I loathe these lines. I penned better lyrics when I was thirteen! So clumsy, so lazy, so urgh...

Say it looooooouud(say it loud!)Say is cleeeeear(oh say it cle-ear!)
This song is NOT better than "Cat's In the Cradle" and while it doesn't save that song, it makes "Leader of the Band" look like a Dylan tune.

You can at least tap your toe to "Cradle" though now I do wonder what it would've sounded like had Ugly Kid Joe coverd "Living Years" instead.

Not to be confused with that other Paul Young who took a putrid, runny dump all over "Love Will Tear Us Apart".

weird to google and see that over my shoulder didn't even get into the top 10 in the uk because it felt like it was on the radio all the time for a couple years

I liked the pre-chorus to this song better when Linkin Park stole it for "Breaking the Habit"
I would shoot this song if I could.― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, June 27, 2005 1:04 PM bookmarkflaglink

Remember first knowingly hearing this in the early 00s as I "faced-up" the paint isle in the mount vernon b&q. Dont understand why that's stuck with me so much, maybe because the combination was so dispiriting

The BBC dubbed Carrack "The Man with the Golden Voice",[3] while Record Collector remarked: "If vocal talent equalled financial success, Paul Carrack would be a bigger name than legends such as Phil Collins or Elton John."[4]
