Mike & the Mechanics - The living years.
It depicts the relationships of the 2 band members with their fathers. Mainly about the generation gap, the hopes and dreams between fathers and sons.
Cool. I didn't know that. You know, we hear songs on the radio but we don't listen to the words sometimes and they are actually quite good.
This is my fav song now. It is by late master guitarist Chet Atkins, later redone by another master guitarist Tommy Emmanuel

I STILL CAN'T SAY GOODBYE
Chet Atkins
Spoken introduction:
"You know, every time I look in the mirror I see my Dad.
I think that's why this song means so much to me."
When I was young, my Dad would say
Come on Son let's go out and play
Sometimes it seems like yesterday
And I'd climb up the closet shelf
When I was all by my-self
Grab his hat and fix the brim
Pretending I was him
No matter how hard I try
No matter how many tears I cry
No matter how many years go by
I still can't say good-bye
He always took care of Mom and me.
We all cut down a Christmas tree
He always had some time for me
Wind blows through the trees
Street lights, they still shine bright
Most things are the same
but I miss my Dad to-night
I walked by a Salvation Army store
Saw a hat like my daddy wore
Tried it on when I walked in
Still trying to be like him
No matter how hard I try
No matter how many years go by
No matter how many tears I cry
I still can't say good-bye
