THE LIVING YEARS - A 'Full Cheney' Analysis - Video, speed and 2 and three dimensional Speed Maps
Sir James Manning and I went "full Cheney" on this post. The 1980s performance still rocks, the expression of the natural passing from one's a "father passed away" to "feeling the same spirit in his baby's newborn tears" leaving a regret - "I wish I could have told him in the living years."
Life is very short, said the Beatles, said Ecclesiastes!
The United States government controlled and APPROVED Wikipedia says about the sappy yet ballsy [sic] song by Mike Rutherford and his Mechanics in their truth and knowledge.
"The Living Years" is the only number one song recorded by Mike + The Mechanics. It peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 on March 25, 1989. It also reached number two in the UK Singles Chart. Co-written by Mike Rutherford and B. A. Robertson, the song was inspired by the recent deaths of both men's fathers, and combine elements of both relationships. The lyrics describe the disagreements Rutherford and his father shared, in addition to the profound impact of losing someone before being able to say everything you wished you could have said to the person. Also, they allude to the birth of Robertson's son three months after his father's death.
The chart clearly shows drum machine action - right around the 98 bpm mark. The band uses a children's choir and emotes a naturally as possible: If you Love somebody ---- tell them now.
