I remember i discovered this song when it was on the radio, which i dont really listen to five years back. My father had just died struggling with cancer, my girlfriend and I had just broken up, and I was trying my best to graduate my last year of college, but i was struggling for sure. I'll never forget it. I was driving through the center of town on a cold day when this came on. One of the most beautiful songs and a song at that point i needed to hear to help me gain perspective as dramatic as that might sound. I still throw it on now and again, truly beautiful.
Literally the "Let me Fly" entire album, is just perfection imo, This new lineup, despite not being the original, truly made an unforgettable album. Phenomenal track.
3:33 AM, "Let me fly" in headphones. When Andrew sings: "Let me dream, let me dream, let me dream - I can be, who I wanna be", ever part of my soul want to cry. Incredible experience.
Im not born in the 80's or so forth. Im from the mid to late 90's and after listening to this several times it mind blows me how much talent we've lost over the years from people passing or just stopped. Song is simply amazing.
if you don't know who Rick Astley is you can't consider yourself a fan of the 80s... even if you don't like his music you should know who he is at the least!
Adam...come on bro. Its just a phrase to show that he is very small next to Rutherford. If we were talking under a Rick Astley song,i wouldnt say anything but under a Rutherford song talking about Rick Astley (who???? lol) i got a little upset. Peace!
The words are SO VERY relevant in today's society - The first few lines absolutely resonate with me and I'm sure most of the population can comprehend "living without really living" in this crazy world.....
I was driving my wifes car and her radio was on a XM station called the Blend. I immediately went home, found it on RUclips and played it and dedicated it to my 19 yo son with ADHD. He had just graduated high school and was presented with a nice gift of a car for his accomplishments. His love of music caused me to share my musical collection with him, which included Mike and the Mechanics told him how my wife danced with my now deceased father in law at our wedding to the song "In the living years". Now they made another wonderful song.Thank you!
That's how I came across this song. I dedicated it to my 2nd set of twins that graduated last year. This empty nesting is for the birds though. I miss them and I'm trying hard to just let them fly.
A timelessly wonderful band with every song with so much meaning. How lovely to hear something truly beautiful again from them in this era of pretty much "empty" stuff; there are a very few "greats" that are likely to be around in a few years time let alone decades. This is so lovely but then,there is not one single song ever created from this band that is not worth listening to or that will fail to touch hearts and emotions.
This song inspired me as I crossed the finish line for my Master's degree....when I was so burned out I just listened to this amazing song and it helped get me through!!
I don't wanna live without living I don't wanna wear a disguise I don't wanna keep on pretending Just living a lie Every day the pressure is building Every night I'm howling at the moon Feeling like the wolves are just closing in What can I do? [Chorus] So let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly If I don't try, I will never know Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly See how far I can go [Verse 2] None of us is born to be prisoners But some of us end up in a cell What if we were born to be a witness Living is the only way to tell [Chorus] So let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly If I don't try, I will never know Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly See how far I can go And let me dream, let me dream, let me dream I can be who I wanna be Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly See how high I can go [Bridge] Funny thing is Make a wish and Hope it counts for something Standing here And I'm looking down Not afraid to fall [Chorus] So let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly If I don't try, I will never know Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly See how far I can go And let me dream, let me dream, let me dream I can be who I wanna be Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly See how high I can go So let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly If I don't try, I will never know Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly See how far I can go And let me dream, let me dream, let me dream I can be who I wanna be Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly See how high I can go So let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly If I don't try, I will never know Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly See how far I can go [Outro] And let me dream, let me dream, let me dream I can be who I wanna be
Saw mike and the mechanics at York barbican on Tuesday 19 March...just outstanding. Quality music and outstanding professionalism hope the go on forever.
Just happened to read this.....after hearing this song. As a dad of twin boys ,soon to be where you are....I hope it went ok for you.....god bless all the mum's and dad's.🌈
@@darrenlucas2768 my twins graduated in 2018, at the same time we were all moving into different places. My ex and I had continued to live under the same roof and raise them together. I had never lived on my own without any one so the first 2 yrs were exceptionally hard. Then one of my twins from the 2nd set flew back home with her 2 littles and it's been a blessing. I wish you and your family the best as they embark on the next journey of their life. 🌈
THX for this gospel! Last year I made a, my decision, to do what I've to do! Mr. Rutherford, You and your Music and the People you worked with, since the early days of Genesis, are a main part of my Inspiration. THX, fil. See you in Vienna.

Je viens de découvrir cet album aujourd'hui et je suis persuadée que c'est mon frère qui me l'a transmis du... ciel! Car M&M est notre groupe préféré. Je l'écoute en boucle, car chaque chanson est un message de lui. "Je te laisse voler, mon frangin! Je sais que mes larmes te retienne ici bas, mais c'est impossible d'accepter que tu n'est plus!
Far from my favorite song, but this is indeed one of their better ones, and they have plenty of those! Been a Mike and the Mechanics since I was a lil boy.
Con que esta es la famosa cancion que siempre presumia el wey del Samsung Note 10 y su bocina JBL Like si tu tambien vienes del grupo Topes de Gama buscando esta cancion

This song hits deep. Especially at this stage in my life.
Andrew Roachford has the heart and soul (and voice) of an angel. Such an underrated artist. I absolutely love this song. Its hits so deep.
Dedicated to all the dreamers out there. Don't give up.
Literally the "Let me Fly" entire album, is just perfection imo, This new lineup, despite not being the original, truly made an unforgettable album. Phenomenal track.
Heard this song and just instantly LOVED it. Then I realised it was ANDREW ROACHFORD singing!! Just superb.
wow even without Paul Carrack, my fav, you guys are something special!
I've loved this group since I heard of them in the early 80s. I was lucky to see them in concert with my 3 teenagers who love them also.
3:33 AM, "Let me fly" in headphones. When Andrew sings: "Let me dream, let me dream, let me dream - I can be, who I wanna be", ever part of my soul want to cry. Incredible experience.

couldn't agree more Jason... at last some real music .. ..loved Mike and M back then and couldn't believe when I heard this today...brilliant!
I love this song
Love the song .AMAZING .
Great comment .
Beautiful song this is the first time I heard this song and I'm falling in love with it❤
This is an era that should be revisited often. It brings back some sanity and content to the music world . The depth is so refreshing!
FINALLY THE 80'S ARE COMING BACK!!!First we had Rick Astley with Angels on my sidenow Mike and the mechanics with this!!! thank you god!!
We dont need ALL the 80's. We just want the GOOD ones. Rick Astley who??? We are talking about Mike Rutherford here.
Rick Astley will: never let you down, never make you cry, never run around, never dessert you, never tell a lie, never say goodbye, never hurt you...
if you don't know who Rick Astley is you can't consider yourself a fan of the 80s... even if you don't like his music you should know who he is at the least!
Adam...come on bro. Its just a phrase to show that he is very small next to Rutherford. If we were talking under a Rick Astley song,i wouldnt say anything but under a Rutherford song talking about Rick Astley (who???? lol) i got a little upset. Peace!
Adam Brown this isn't fuckin 80s music
Andrew Roachford 🎶👏

Fantastic ,Absolutely Fantastic .
GREAT VOICE, GREAT SONG
Let me break out in tears 😭 I love your songs Mike + The Mechanics 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This song inspired me as I crossed the finish line for my Master's degree....when I was so burned out I just listened to this amazing song and it helped get me through!!
Mike Rutherford is a genius beautiful music
Mmmm next best to silent running ❤
beautiful song, especially when choir come in
WELL DONE Mr. MIKE... EXCELLENT SONG....I CRANK UP THE VOLUME ON THIS ONE...!
I heard it many times, but had no idea until now that it was Mike!!
I don't wanna live without living
I don't wanna wear a disguise
I don't wanna keep on pretending
Just living a lie
Every day the pressure is building
Every night I'm howling at the moon
Feeling like the wolves are just closing in
What can I do?
[Chorus]
So let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
If I don't try, I will never know
Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
See how far I can go
[Verse 2]
None of us is born to be prisoners
But some of us end up in a cell
What if we were born to be a witness
Living is the only way to tell
[Chorus]
So let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
If I don't try, I will never know
Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
See how far I can go
And let me dream, let me dream, let me dream
I can be who I wanna be
Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
See how high I can go
[Bridge]
Funny thing is
Make a wish and
Hope it counts for something
Standing here
And I'm looking down
Not afraid to fall
[Chorus]
So let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
If I don't try, I will never know
Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
See how far I can go
And let me dream, let me dream, let me dream
I can be who I wanna be
Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
See how high I can go
So let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
If I don't try, I will never know
Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
See how far I can go
And let me dream, let me dream, let me dream
I can be who I wanna be
Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
See how high I can go
So let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
If I don't try, I will never know
Let me fly, let me fly, oh, let me fly
See how far I can go
[Outro]
And let me dream, let me dream, let me dream
I can be who I wanna be
Wow
Saw mike and the mechanics at York barbican on Tuesday 19 March...just outstanding. Quality music and outstanding professionalism hope the go on forever.
Hardest thing I am having to do is to "Let (my twins) Fly" from home into the big world.
THANK YOU Mike and The Mechanics for this song.

I was too hasty in my previous reviews now I've listened to the album properly I've gotta say it's a really excellent collection well done to all
this sound is directly plugged to heaven
This song is made for him, it suits his voice...just like the songs from Paul suited his voice.
Miss him still to this date.
