'The Living Years' is a popular song written by Mike Rutherford and B.A. Robertson.The single was first released as a single by Mike and the Machanics, becoming a top ten chart hit around the world. It peaked at number 2 in the UK Singles Cahrt while making number one on the Billboard Hot 100, in the USA. It also spent four weeks at the top of the U.S. adult contemporary chart and reaching number 1 in Canada and Australia.
The Mike & The Mechanics version was initially promoted to give the impression the lyrics described the disagreements between Rutherford and his father. However, in an interview with the band, Mike Rutherford said:-
“The lyrics were written by BA and the song is about something he went through. He lost his Dad and it's about the lack of communication between him and his father before he died. There's also the irony of him having a baby just after losing his father. I had exactly the same thing happen to me at the same time, so it meant a lot to me too.”
