#mikeandthemechanics
so prophetic for what is going on in the world today
The Living Years should be next. It's very emotive with the theme of family and the importance of showing and sharing love with family members while they are with us. It will bring a lump to your throat if not a tear to your eye. The official video is not distracting but reflects or exemplifies the message of the song. And the music is beautiful of course.
Indeed, It is a MUST!!!!!
That's the only song I'm familiar with, because my brother showed it to me. We had a similar experience when we were teens. It ALWAYS make me cry!
👍 For shure!
This song is so relevant for 2024!
I shared this with my girlfriend 3 years ago.
She’s dedicated to health care and had her eyes opened mid 2020.
She really listened.
She was in tears by the end of the song.
Her eyes were silently opened.
I believe that the longevity of Genesis can be attributed to the work Mike, Tony and Phil did outside of Genesis. It allowed them their individual creativity, so when they came together, they could focus on making a Genesis album. After Steve’s departure, they returned to stating all songs were written by Genesis, with no individual credit, as they all contributed together. Who knows what might have happened if they’d done that before Peter left? Enjoyed this reaction. Thanks.
True that helped them stay fresh with good songs throughout their career and remain friends.
This was a radio hit. Vocalist Paul Carrack sang lead for several bands in the early 80’s. Thanks, Greybeard!
Ace - "How long has this been going on?"; Squeeze - "Tempted" and more; and solo works. One of the most underrated singers of the 70s and 80s.
@@boydsprehn2140 Completely agree with you!
I think when it came out it was used in an Airwolf episode where Jan Michael Vincent was running away from a manhunt after him.
Teach the children quietly....
Never let them know what you really feel
We stood Still
Mike Rutherford and his karma mechanics really knock one out of the park with their timeless but sad classic, "Living Years", which gets to me just thinking about it. Glad you've opened this door.
So relevant to what's happening right now.
Mike and the mechanics was put together by Mike Rutherford of Genesis. The lead vocalist, Paul Carrack, from the band Squeeze who also sang on Roger Water's Bleeding Heart Band, and other musicians whom had worked with other well known artists.
My radio station sponsored their concert when they toured. We all ate dinner backstage before the show. Mike is as quiet as a mouse. Singer Paul kinda looks like Phil Collins as well as singing in that same range. He's been the lead man on some great records. As others will no doubt suggest, Michaels first album has an amazing 20 minute piece called Smallscreep Day which ranks very high on the Genesis solo projects list. It will bring tears to your eyes.
Love that album!
Paul Carrack has done amazing vocals since his first hit How Long with the band Ace. Check out his version of If I Should Fall behind written by Bruce Springsteen.
@@kbrewski1 Two things always puzzled me...why Paul Carrack didn't replace Collins. And why Genesis never recorded with Darryl and Chester. Also great to hear Smallcreep mentioned, I've loved that album since the day it was released.
"Smallcreep's Day" is Mike's best and possibly the best Genesis solo effort.
Yes, man. Totally agree with you
As much as I absolutely loved Smallcreep’s Day, I would argue that Tony Bank’s A Curious Feeling is a bit better.
I would say of Genesis alumni I would vote Peter Gabriel as best solo artist
@@paulmorris8762 In terms of longevity and consistency, I would have to agree with you on a commercial basis.
So much Genesis influence here...you could really hear Mike Rutherford in this album...hidden gem...
This has serious Genesis vibes…I can definitely hear Phil Collins singing this and Paul Carrack is awesome. Thx for this blast from the past!
So GREAT you finally discovered Mike Rutherford's "other" band!!!!!!! The whole album is soooooo good!!!! Great vocals from one of my favorite vocalists being Paul Carrack who was in the band Ace, also appeared on Squeeze's "East Side Story" ('Tempted'), and has toured in Eric Clapton's Band!!!!!!
Mike Rutherford gathered together an INCREDIBLE Band here featuring Carrack and Paul Young on vocals, Adrian Lee on keyboards, and Peter Van Hooke on drums & percussion!!!! Check out the rest of this album and especially the next one from 1988 "Living Years"!!!! You won't be disappointed!!!
The band had two lead singers... Paul Carrack and Paul Young (ex. Sad Cafe and worth checking out). They were both ballsy vocalists...Word of Mouth is a great album by MatMs.
Paul young singer with Mike and the mechanics died tragically early mike asked paul Carrack to take over on vocals
I am so happy you guys feel it too every note - pure heart
A classic 80’s radio hit. I always fired up the radio to sing along because ❤️ love Paul Carrack’s vocals. Check out Ace and their classic radio hit “How Long”. Nice reference to the Holdsworth influenced guitar solo I hadn’t connected that before. Another great one in the books.
*I actually didn't pay much attention to the lyrics in the song initially. As the song played I was enjoying verses/chorus & the singer.*
*I was floored when I heard the guitar solo. A solo like this in a "hit song?" My first thought was that's either Allan Holdsworth or Brad Gillis. The guitarist was (as you found out) Alan Murphy....sadly he died about 4 years after Silent running was released.*
*I couldn't help notice the Jean-Luc Ponty album Enigmatic Ocean. One of my faves.*
Crazy how it sounds like 80s Genesis lol 😎 Welcome to the Home By The Sea!
The guitarist was alan Murphy. He played with a number of artists in the 80s. Go West, level 42 and Kate Bush who mentioned him in moments of pleasure as he passed away in the early 90s. Great song from a great band.
If you liked this you need to listen to The Living Years. Trust me on this one, you will be glad you did. I also just want to say to Lex that you have a effervescent smile that just instantly puts me in a great mood. Nick you are a very lucky man.
Any chance of you guys doing another live chat any time soon?
Correct me if I’m wrong: When you listened to this you weren’t aware that Mike is nobody else than Mike Rutherford, founding member of Genesis. The Mechanics became Mike’s side project after two solo albums.
Now here’s what you MUST do: Listen to the entire first solo album Mike recorded. It’s called Smallcreep’s Day, a concept album based on a book of the same title; you find it on RUclips, and I guarantee it’ll blow you away! Highly appreciated by fans and critics, some called it the best Genesis album that Genesis never did. Mike was kind of shocked by this, therefore his 2nd solo album Acting Very Strange was very different.
Great album!! Great song!! my personal favorite is "Taken In"
Me, too! So overlooked!
To have Carrack and Young on vocals in one band is sublime.
"The Living Years" is an anthemic classic, please react to that as well.
"Taken In" by Mike and the Mechanics is a gem, so is "All I Need Is A Miracle ".
Yes! This brings back memories of my childhood
When I saw "Mike + The Mechanics" in the title I thought we were going to get an emotional reaction to The Living Years ☺
Maybe the next one... 😀
So many great songs from this band and Paul carracks voice is awesome, try the song Another cup of coffee and all I need is a miracle
Thanks for reacting to one of my favorite 80s songs. Paul Carrack is a great vocalist. I love the atmosphere of this song.
Been a huge fan of M&M since their debut. You discovered that "Mike" is Genesis guitarist Mike Rutherford, lead vocals on this track were handled by Paul Carrack who was the lead vocalist in the bands Ace and Squeeze with many hits. Agree with many of the comments below that "Living Years" from their 2nd album is a MUST listen.
And this song is great !!
Suggest: All I Need is a Miracle
Hello NicknLex, I love Mike and the Mechanics, they have a song named Par Avion, an incredible heart felt song, Mike Rutherford of Genesis, it definitely has a Genesis sound to it
That is the sound of REAL music I don't look at it like "80s" etc etc i was born in the 80s and 80s is awesome real real music and film making and powerful everything - this right here is real real music - i don't say " of that time etc etc - This is epic gold the music of today is just dead noise
Living Years will surely blow you away, and Word of Mouth is so powerful especially live. And LOVE how Mike does a Clapton a la D&TD, always underplaying his fame. As always, love you two for your relentless enthusiasm and optimism, giving hope for the future.
That Album from Mike and the Mechanics is "one" of my favorite Albums... Can You Hear Me...😂
Me, too. Still listen to it.
F1rst!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 OMG YAS!!! Whole album is saucy. Paul Carrack on vocals!! Now onto SQUEEZE!!!
Actually 2nd…Wicky got you by a minute 🤷🏻♂️
Ooh, thanks Greybeard. I haven’t listened to this CD in about 30 years. Will have to throw it on for the ride to work tomorrow. Memories!
The song had no connection to the movie Silent Running (other than the title) which was released 10 years before the song. The name extension (On Dangerous Ground) was given when the song was chosen to appear in the 1986 movie On Dangerous Ground, which was titled Choke Canyon in the United States. Rutherford said the story was about a person that went into the future and saw the break down of society and tried sending a message back to his family to warn them.
Underworld - Underneath the Radar would be a great one for you guys straight outta 80s Miami Vice history!
Mike was an original member of Genesis. When Hackett left, he took over the guitar work.
A different fresh though serious tune that perked up the attention of many rock and Genesis enthusiasts!
It's Mike Rutherford of Genesis on the guitar. :-) Hence, MIKE + The Mechanics. And Paul Carrack on vocals.
Mike is Mike Rutherford from Genesis.
RONNIE 🎸🏴
Scotland 🏴
Paul Carrack started with Ace, from Sheffield, whose big hit, here in England was "How Long" in 1974.
brilliant group you found.
the late great Alan Murphy on guitar
Sadly what our Son's and Daughter's will have to do someday! 😢
Mike and the mechanics, have produced 9 albums, from 1985 to 2019.
I had 5 cd's, and there are no bad songs, on any of them.
I believe this song was commissioned for a sci-fi thriller movie that went nowhere, but the song was a hit
Please! Guys react to their “Living Years”, it’s a very wonderful and sad song, but sooo Poignant. Their Lead Singer is Paul Carrack who was also Lead Singer for his Bands ACE “How Long” & his other band SQUEEZE “Tempted”. Mike Rutherford was the Guitar Player for Band “Genesis”……. SanJoséBob
If you get a chance to watch the video it’s about getting ready for a nuclear attack very good and very sad video
Paul Carrack's voice carried Mike & The Mechanics ( for me, anyway ). He has a great voice. Good pop track from the 80s. Not one that I ever think of, personally. But, a good track, for sure.
Mike and the Mechanics is Mike Rutherford ‘s (From Genesis) band. Nick you are very lucky to have a lovely wife who is really into music.
I think these two are both very blessed to have each other. If either were my (I guess it would now be) grandchildren, I would feel very blessed too.
Mike Rutherford side project, which is still touring this year (with Nic Collins the son of Phil on drums). Lots of good pop catchy songs on the first albums. After it's less interesting. Try Living years and songs from Beggar on a beach of gold, which is a very good album.
Hi Guys, catching up a couple of days late! Mike Rutherford and his Mechanics have just begun a tour of the UK, moving onto Europe this summer. He was interviewed on the BBC Breakfast TV show a couple of weeks ago, looking good for 72 years of age, and said how excited he was to be doing another Mechanics tour now that Genesis is over as a live band. The tour is called 'Refuelled', all the hits of M&TM plus bits of Genesis. It's a different line-up now, the only musicians I recognised were Andrew Roachford on vocals and Gary Wallis on drums. Their first 4 albums were great, although judging from the comments I must be one of the few who wasn't mad on 'The Living Years', a little too sentimental for my taste, but I guess that's just me. More Mechanics definitely xx
That's right! How could I have forgotten that? Old age I guess! Thanks 😊
Featured in the opening of the pilot episode of the 1987 series "Werewolf," the legal rights to the use of this song and one other in the series are the reason the show hasn't been released on disc in the U.S., despite being a cult classic. Hope they work it out someday, because it's a great show, and a great song.
This song is actually 🔥
Nice choice. As I recall this was a BIG hit. They had several. (nice bass work, wonder who that could be?)
Mike and the Mechanics was Mike Rutherford’s (of Genesis) spin off band. It featured Paul Carrack on lead vocals on this tune as well as their other big (#1) hit “The Living Years”. Paul Carrack also sang lead on the 1974 hit “How Long” by Ace, as well as on the 1981 hit “Tempted” by Squeeze.
Paul Carrack was lead vocals in a band called Ace 1972 with a brilliant song called How Long.
Check out Mike's first solo album "Smallcreep's Day" along with Tony Bank's "A curious feeling" IMHO the best of the Genesis solo albums from a prog perspective. Cheers
Mike Rutherford of Genesis.... His second band
I had the great pleasure of jamming with Alan Murphy on a few occasions right about the time he got the Kate Bush gig. He was streets ahead of any other player I knew at the time - I thought I could play guitar until I met him. He was very much in the Holdsworth mould.
Great track and great line up with Paul Carracks special rustic voice. Everything they do makes good listening but do try 'Living years', the music and lyrics go deep!
BTW you should smash it out of the park by reviewing Cutting Crew live at Rockpalast in 2007 with 'Died in your arms'... Their solo semi hit but very special and a worm that will last!
One of my favourite albums from that time, especially as I was a massive Genesis fan and followed all of their side projects.
Coincidentally, M&M still exist and I’m going to see them live next weekend, with Phil’s son, Nic on drumming duties. 😀
If you know Genesis, then you know "Mike" Michael Rutherford 😊 Guitarist (bass&guitar) from the Genesis group 😉
Did you also know that Piihl Collin's side spinoff fusion group was Brand X?
Definitely need to do the living years. Depending on what your relationship is with your dad this will get you in the feels.
Most excellent 👌
I'm new here and it's great to see you two enjoying this music....it's important that we pass down music to our younger generation so it doesn't get lost. I haven't heard this in awhile so forgot how amazing it was. There was a big shift with music at this time which I did comment on in your Peter Gabrial marathon so great to see the younger generation exploring this music. You two are refreshing to listen to and I do have a request be it a little out there so please don't judge but Primus might be interesting for you but please with lyrics..Jerry was a racecar driver...again it's different❤
Great song and great band!
And only at the end, do they realise Mike is from Genesis.
Does that count as a Mike drop?
i am certain someone else has probably noted this ( i am too lazy to go through them all), but "Mike" is Mike Rutherford, long-time bassist for Genesis. He also plays guitar on this album, with assistance from Alan Murphy, although the cover notes do not say on which song. ( he is in "fine print") Sorry Nick; no Allan. The two vocalists are Paul Carrack and Paul Young. Paul Young had a huge hit with the song "Everytime You Go Away" i cannot say with certainty they are one in the same, but it seems logical. i find it hard to believe you would play this song and not also the next song on the album, "All I Need is a Miracle". The album concludes with "Taken In" also a recommendation and "A Call to Arms" is a decent power ballad.
Yep. The Living Years has to be next
As usual Greybeard proves to have excellent taste. Mike Rutherford always was a prime contributor to Genesis songwriting and he proves himself marvelously on his solo album and the Mike and the Mechanics albums. He never stands in the limelight, although I would argue that he deserves to. As others have requested, I also highly recommend "The Living Years." Be prepared for some tears, it's a highly emotional song. But then, what is music but emotion put to sound?
That whole album is amazing. "All I need is a miracle" was the big hit on that, along with "Taken In"
Paul Carrack, the lead singer, had a hit with Ace in the mid-Seventies, "How Long". Wonderful song. I reckon it was the best thing he ever did! (much better than this 80's tosh LOL!)
You should try Moody Blues Knights in white Satin.
Paul Carrack is a great add to this line up. His tracks with Squeeze and Ace were iconic 80s. You guys need to do “Tempted”.
😊
This album is a hidden treasure. Besides "Slient Running" , "All I need is a miracle" was their other hit off this album, but the whole album is good, especially Taken In, A Call to Arms, and Par Avion (which I believe was used on an episode of Miami Vice).
Try listening to Over my shoulders😊
Mike is back on the road this spring
The mechanics have the 🇨🇦 singer Tim Howar this time
This reminds me of a song I heard this week that I thought was from Mike and the mechanics but it’s not it’s called let the day begin by a band called “The Call” I think you should check that out I don’t really know Mike and the mechanics that well I thought when I heard a song by them it was Phil Collins so I’m a bit confused over these bands lol so yeppers check out that song an let me know what you think
In the beginning I liked this song, but then radio played it to death ... so I turned towards the solo stuff of singer Paul Carrack, albums #2 and 3 are great
React to this please.
Archie Roach was an Aboriginal singer/songwriter who recently died. Archie was born in 1956 and was part of the Stolen Generation where Aboriginal children were removed form their family and place in childrens homes where they suffered abuse or adopted to white families. This was the government policy of the time. Archie's song "Took the Children Away" which tells the story of the stolen generation and his own experiences . In 1990, Australia's Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission's awarded the song its first Human Rights Award for songwriting.
Oh yeah, you've gotta go down the hole, and it's deep. They put out alot good tunes. And plus with the 2 vocalist both were amazing. The guitar player? It's Mike man. Peace
I loved this CD so much back then. Not as much love for this song now, as when it was so fresh (and maybe I overplayed it) but I like hearing the lyrics again. Someone should cover this song and maybe I'll fall in love again with an update. I can't use my headphones and I am trying to respect my neighbor by the thin wall, by keeping volume low. Surely that kind of ruined my experience.
I believe Roland synth guitar. Line up ck out.
Aguante nicknlexxxxxxxx papa
El cantante Paul Carrack, una de las mejores voces del rock, estuvo también en el grupo de Roger Waters, The Bleeding Heart Band y su actuación en directo en la puesta en escena de The Wall de Roger Waters en Berlín ante 250.000 personas cantando "Hey You" me pareció
sublime, ruclips.net/video/MsqvaNcerOo/видео.html
I hear this song in truckstops a lot, but I thought they were the Simple Minds.
I wonder that mike rutherford found the time to play in a second band. Seems he always needs a bassguitar or a guitar in his hands.
El mejor álbum de Mike es Smallcreep's day
Si señor. Monstruoso album
Not Holdsworth...close... It's Alan Murphy...who is like a hybrid Beck-Holdsworth-Himself. He was amazing and gone much too soon.
A side project for Mike Rutherford while with Genesis. Mike has never gotten many props as an accomplished guitarist, even with Genesis. Paul Carrack has a golden voice (Ace, Squeeze, solo) for the ages, and is no slouch on the keys as well. Here it is live: ruclips.net/video/DCUmmvWHS2Q/видео.html
please react to the living years
paul carrack:)
mike was the guitarist for phil collins this was a branch off from him. "Living years" is also awesome!
