This song has haunted me for decades. I was drawn to it but didn't understand why until now. We are living the reality of Silent Running. God speed to all Patriots worldwide who are working together to defeat the evil on and in planet earth forever!

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!

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.

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............kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hbycodqoprWzhGg.html

I believe this song was written from a note meant for his family. It was found on a civil war soldier's body. Please correct me if I'm wrong. When I heard this I understood the urgency in the music. Perfect song. Always gave me goosebumps.

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.

Thankyou so much for putting this powerful song and the music that goes with it up here. I had forgotten about this song how i forgot about it is beyond me. And i agree with you this is the year and time it was meant for. And perhaps in the future years thats a head of us

I wonder how many of us thought that, all those decades ago, songs like Silent Running and Who'll Stop the Rain were actually clarion calls for the future. It wasn't just rock 'n roll after all... not when we objectively view what's been occurring, and still is more than ever, on multiple fronts. From George Orwell's 1984 - "If you want to see a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face... forever."

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.
