Ahhh Silent running, This song used to give me goosebumps as a child in the 80's. Now I realize why. Teach your children quietly folks, freedom depends on it. Peace & Godspeed!
I remember back in '85 when this was first released that this song was written in the future and brought to the present. Now it's the future and the world feels as tenuous as this tune implies.

This song is absolutely frightening! If you can't see what's coming you must be blind. Someone once said, "Losing our freedom is only one generation away." The fabric of our society, our culture, our customs, our history are crumbling right before our eyes. This song is about a father looking down on his family from heaven as he has already given his life for the freedom we take for granted. If we don't unite to stop this cancer, our civilization will soon be nothing more than a footnote in a history book. What a prophetic song!
Bring it Traitor Joe along with all your tyrannical sycophants!! You are all on the wrong side of history, but you are too drunk with power and greed to see😮
I am afraid you are 100 per cent wrong, this song IS about revolution, they have told you that you have freedom and you believe it. Read some or our history and you will find otherwise. Even today thare are 13 MILLION American children STARVING in the US, is that freedom? Not from hunger. How about the 90,000 governments that rule you in the USA, brainwash you, and keep you in your place while our owners have the good life? This song is about change, change for the better, change for the people not for the ones that have it all.
@@vanessakammerer5602 Does god keep 13 MILLION AMERICAN CHILDREN STARVING IN THE USA? HOW ABOUT ALL OF THE CHILDREN DYING ALL OVER THE WORLD EVERY DAY? WHAT KIND OF FAIRY TALE GOD IS THAT?
Hi Cousin?...., I’m on the Ensign william Campbell Farm, VA Militia, 1776-1782, .....listening to this song, thinking about the words and the warning that goes with them!🇺🇸
This song was never your average pop song. It stood out from the standard fare, feeling more real, more authentic, more related to real life, Great singing and fantastic composition. Now it's more profound than ever.
Absolutely spot on. Is it any wonder their are record gun sales? All due to the insanity of the left trying to destroy us from within. Nope. We fight back, hard.
This has to be one of the most thought provoking and yet deeply disturbing songs ever written. It Chills me to the bone every time I listen to it as I realise how thin the fabric of the reality we live in really is and how quickly it could crumble to the point where you need to hide in a cellar and have a gun and ammunition by your front door.
And now they are trying hard to take those guns away. The UN is the one pushing it and now they pass international law limiting one to 25 rounds and if caught with more if anything breaks out they are war criminals! I don’t like Trump as a person but some things I agree with him more than 100% and one was not playing nice with the UN.
@@nanceejay3507 be happy. Be happy to be a part of this. This is an event that they will talk about for generations. I believe the outcome will have been worth all the pain.
Best years of my life, as it turns out. And due in no small part to the music being cranked out while I grew my family, grew my career, and enjoyed almost every one of my American countrymen pulling on the same oar in unity of purpose. How far we've fallen.
Paul Carrack is a very, very under rated musician. I still remember his first song, " How Long " in 1974 I was about 9 or 10. I absolutely love this man, he does have a golden voice.
It was literally just a side gig for all involved , a Supergroup like Asia, The Wilburys and many more, they just wanted to make different music than their other groups
People said that years ago too. You sound like a member of a doomsday cult. "It's right around the corner!" Then a hundred years later, "It'll be here anytime!" Lmao, stop living in fear constantly.
Anyone can draw their interpretations of the message or meaning behind this song. My personal introduction and experience to this band was having one of my friends talk me into attending a concert after I had been literally overindulging in many things and all I wanted to do was sleep. Yet he convinced me to go see Mike & The Mechanics . The venue that they performed at was originally acoustically designed for classical concert music. So it was a warm evening in the summer in California the perfect location for an outdoor concert .I can only describe the experience that I had that evening when this band performed this song. I never heard anything live by any other band that sounded almost like it was coming from the heavens it was majestic and magnificent.
It's coming people, it's coming. I thought I was such a strong believer, I once thought I couldn't be shaken, but it's 2023 and things are only getting worse. I spend a lot more time talking to the Lord GOD Almighty to just give me the strength to not falter. I loved this song the first time I heard it, and it never grows old.

This song means more Today than it ever has!!! I Never listened to the lyrics very closely when this song first came out in the 80's ,but Rutherford is obviously a very, very wise man.
What a great song,back in the 80's I was in Toronto Canada and visited a friend who passed recently,missed you Andrea and she played this song and it blew my mind,the room was completely dark,and to this day it's like yesterday RIP Andrea, never forgotten my dear friend.
I worked in radio when this song came out. I understood what the lyrics meant perfectly. Never thought it would come true like it has the past few years.
A latter day For What It's Worth by the Buffalo Springfield...from MY era back in 1967....both great songs for their times and BOTH relevant to today...Facism in the U.S. on the rise....
Only underrated because these guys were part of Phil Collins's original band, Genesis. Mike Rutherford formed this band to fill in time while Collins pursued his solo interests.
Still makes the hairs stand up on my neck some 15 years since this song was recorded, the man with the Golden Voice (Carrack) is simply awesome...........there is no one better!!
When I was a child this song first came out it gave me chillbumps, I remember listening to the radio trying to catch this song to record it on a compilation cassette player. I had the tape on pause. I was standing on a wooden chair in the living room hanging something on the wall and the song came on and I was so excited I went to get down and I slipped, as I was falling I got the pause button nearly killing myself, but I finally caught the tune. It was remarkable...
I wonder if it was that magical sound of the synth? The song had the same effect on me and it was in one of my dreams. My dad maybe turned the radio on early one morning when I was still sleeping. I dreamt I was stuck on the moon and I was.calling out 'can you hear me...'
Yep my friends, Jesus is asking you can you hear him running. Are you running with him as we run into Revelation. Wake up, as the lyrics say Jesus is with the high command you need to be communicating with him to get you through to the other side. This song creates the atmosphere where we are at today.
Paul Carrack has an amazing voice. I saw a Roger Water concert where Paul was the lead singer and covering David Gilmour’s vocals for the Pink Floyd song’s. He did an amazing job!
I just turned 74 years old. When I first heard this song in the eighties the mood reminded me very much of Bowies' Diamond Dogs. A description of a dystopian world which I knew would eventually arrive, but not for a long, long time. I never imagined that I would see the day when I kept a gun and ammunition just inside my doorway. Fear God. He is our only hope.
Its 2022... America and Canada....our citizens must unite. LETS KEEP OUR PRECIOUS NORTHERN CONTINENT. THIS SONG SAYS WHAT WE ALL FEEL... ITS COMING. CAN YOU HEAR ME.
Absolutely brilliant lyrics and oh, so true! Remember, always, we the people are the majority, we simply have to resolve to work together with one common goal: Work together and agree to resolve the petty differences upon achieving victory!!👍❤️👍
I had to find a song with a historical/social message in it for school, and I stumbled across this. I absolutely love it. I haven't been able to get it out of my head and just love the music and lyrics that they put together. This is real music in my opinion.
I think you will find that the music your hearing is NOT all live.What the musicians on stage are playing is ALL LIVE but who is playing bass and who is playing the high keyboard line with the pitch bend and delay on it?....It is certainly not Paul Carrick(keyboard and lead vocals) or Mike Rutherford(electric guitar).It is still a brilliant version and the music that IS live is superb.But i think you will find that the drummer is playing to a click track and there is a keyboard bass in there along with OTHER keyboard lines to complete the sound.They would have needed another 2 live keyboardists to do it ALL live.A brilliant song and brilliant performances by the musicians but DEFINITELY a backing track as well.....UPDATE....Here is a fully LIVE performance(very recent....from a month ago)Different Band Lineup.......Still has mike rutherford from genesis of course(Otherwise it couldnt be MIKE and the mechanics)This time only mike on guitar......2 keyboard players(no Paul carrick) and a Bass Player.......The version HERE probably sounds better than the LATEST one in some ways(The keyboard parts are MORE ACCURATE as the ones on the backing tracks are possibly from the original recording and pretty well sound SPOT on).......But UNLIKE this version IT IS ALL LIVE............ruclips.net/video/OVlnwwAOOT4/видео.html
Oh, I forgot to mention ...THANK YOU GENTLEMEN for being a phenomenal band that will leave a mark in the music industry regarding how lyricism, melody, harmony, and vocal intonation is suppose to be! Not this quick million dollar fashion industry that produces joke musicians!! Again, THANK YOU!!!
It's now January 10, 2021. We're here now. For those of us who are gen X, we were not listening and we did nothing. Now look where we are. Teach your children quietly, for one day our sons and daughters will rise up and fight while we stood still. We. Are. Here.
It all depends upon your perspective. That of an American or as a Global citizen? While you may relate the song to events that tie Americans to a thought process that leads to a downward spiral, the citizens of Rwanda, India, Bangladesh and many others are seeing their GDP and lives improved substantially.
@@peytonbass5396 Typical American ignorance, thinking that their country is the entire world. Just the usual crackpot zealots who live their lives in constant fear.
This song the meaning runs deep we are living these lyrics today God the father Son And Holy spirit will give you peace please accept them into your heart Jesus Christ died on the cross for you and I call on him and we won't live through coming crisis
Mike R must be the coolest and the most versatile guitarist of our age. Laid back and still contributing the most delicate fills and intros. In collaboration with Carrack it's a marriage made in music heaven.
The Fragility of Life and Mother Earth are so ever present!Good and Evil! I thank God for how wonderful my parents both were!On the side of God and his Heveanly Light I will strive to make a Positive mark on this world of ours!

Paul Carrack has an amazing voice. I saw a Roger Water concert where Paul was the lead singer and covering David Gilmour’s vocals for the Pink Floyd song’s. He did an amazing job!
One of the best songs ever written !
Mike Rutherford and B A Robertson wrote it back in 1985
Brother, this is 2019, August, Time traveler, more than meaning, it is prophetic!!!!!
@Steven Sabastian this isn't 2000's commercialized crap. it was penned by members of the band.
Such a great song by a great band! Paul carrack is “The man with the golden voice “.
With all the songs that Mike Rutherford had left over with Genesis he had alot more to put in those this band
Unbelievable song,its profetic!! Goosbumps!!!!❤
I just turned 74 years old. When I first heard this song in the eighties the mood reminded me very much of Bowies' Diamond Dogs. A description of a dystopian world which I knew would eventually arrive, but not for a long, long time. I never imagined that I would see the day when I kept a gun and ammunition just inside my doorway. Fear God. He is our only hope.
Ditto, sir. I am 73 and locked and loaded as well.😢
67 and L&L just inside the doorway. Patriots unite!
Paranoid old people...
@@dbsnyder4503 Your "patriot" god that you worship ( we all know who he is) is the devil himself and you're too blind to see that.
@James-if3kc
I'm old enough to have lived freedom Jimmy. We aren't these days. You don't miss what you've never had son.
Can't believe it's touching a qtr of a century since Paul departed. Beautiful voice ❤
Its 2022... America and Canada....our citizens must unite. LETS KEEP OUR PRECIOUS NORTHERN CONTINENT. THIS SONG SAYS WHAT WE ALL FEEL... ITS COMING. CAN YOU HEAR ME.
Absolutely brilliant lyrics and oh, so true! Remember, always, we the people are the majority, we simply have to resolve to work together with one common goal: Work together and agree to resolve the petty differences upon achieving victory!!👍❤️👍
2021 and it all makes sense. WAKE UP!!!!!
What a beautiful mellow touch song from Mike and the Mechanics and all the more with Mike Rutherford as a brilliant lead guitarist!🎸❤
I had to find a song with a historical/social message in it for school, and I stumbled across this. I absolutely love it. I haven't been able to get it out of my head and just love the music and lyrics that they put together. This is real music in my opinion.
Never gets old…
Así sea¡
Don't think I've ever seen a better performance of this song
One of the best live performances that I’ve ever heard.
I think you will find that the music your hearing is NOT all live.What the musicians on stage are playing is ALL LIVE but who is playing bass and who is playing the high keyboard line with the pitch bend and delay on it?....It is certainly not Paul Carrick(keyboard and lead vocals) or Mike Rutherford(electric guitar).It is still a brilliant version and the music that IS live is superb.But i think you will find that the drummer is playing to a click track and there is a keyboard bass in there along with OTHER keyboard lines to complete the sound.They would have needed another 2 live keyboardists to do it ALL live.A brilliant song and brilliant performances by the musicians but DEFINITELY a backing track as well.....UPDATE....Here is a fully LIVE performance(very recent....from a month ago)Different Band Lineup.......Still has mike rutherford from genesis of course(Otherwise it couldnt be MIKE and the mechanics)This time only mike on guitar......2 keyboard players(no Paul carrick) and a Bass Player.......The version HERE probably sounds better than the LATEST one in some ways(The keyboard parts are MORE ACCURATE as the ones on the backing tracks are possibly from the original recording and pretty well sound SPOT on).......But UNLIKE this version IT IS ALL LIVE............ruclips.net/video/OVlnwwAOOT4/видео.html
Oh, I forgot to mention ...THANK YOU GENTLEMEN for being a phenomenal band that will leave a mark in the music industry regarding how lyricism, melody, harmony, and vocal intonation is suppose to be! Not this quick million dollar fashion industry that produces joke musicians!! Again, THANK YOU!!!
this song hits home today more than ever this country and this world are in for a rude awakening
This song has
alot of meaning now of days
Sheila Jackson scary, but it does.
Brother, this is 2019, August, Time traveler, more than meaning, it is prophetic!!!!!
@@stevenjones71 It's Happening!!!
Especially *swear your allegiance to the flag / whatever flag they offer*
and *teach the children quietly / rise up*.
@Jerry Vdm Cheer up Jerry
"HERE ME RUNNING" WITHOUT NOISE, THATS THE CHANGE
INSIDE, THE "REVOLUTION" !! WITH THE HIGH COMMAND!!
A very very underrated band but brilliant first class musicians in every way
The Era Of Real Music & True Natural Talents...
This version almost makes me cry, oh is so beautiful!!!
A group of sensible talented genius musicians...
It's now January 10, 2021.
We're here now. For those of us who are gen X, we were not listening and we did nothing. Now look where we are.
Teach your children quietly,
for one day our sons and daughters
will rise up and fight while we stood still.
We. Are. Here.
So this song wouldn’t apply to 9-11 timeframe is what I’m gathering??
It all depends upon your perspective. That of an American or as a Global citizen? While you may relate the song to events that tie Americans to a thought process that leads to a downward spiral, the citizens of Rwanda, India, Bangladesh and many others are seeing their GDP and lives improved substantially.
@@peytonbass5396 Typical American ignorance, thinking that their country is the entire world. Just the usual crackpot zealots who live their lives in constant fear.
I am glad i was teenager in a decade when they made masterpieces like this !!
This song the meaning runs deep we are living these lyrics today God the father Son And Holy spirit will give you peace please accept them into your heart Jesus Christ died on the cross for you and I call on him and we won't live through coming crisis
Mike R must be the coolest and the most versatile guitarist of our age. Laid back and still contributing the most delicate fills and intros. In collaboration with Carrack it's a marriage made in music heaven.
Super dieser Mut nochmals aufzutreten und diesem Song aus dem 80er super ❤❤❤❤❤
Silent Running...PRICELESS!!!
The Fragility of Life and Mother Earth are so ever present!Good and Evil! I thank God for how wonderful my parents both were!On the side of God and his Heveanly Light I will strive to make a Positive mark on this world of ours!
BLOODY AWESOME! Paul's voice is out of this world! Plus that RIPPING keyboard riff! Spine tingling genius.
One of the best natural voices ever! Never get tired of this ever!
1986 was a great year.
I was a freshman in HS👍
Argentina fifa world cup champion je!
This is the time, pay attention, God bless you all,
Paul Carrack and Paul Young, two of the most prominent contemporary artists.
They come From above
Persecute the little people.
