When you said I'm your brother too, that's exactly what this song is about! The brotherhood of mankind.
Exactly.
You took the words out of my mouth 👄
This song is about life and we all struggle so we should all help each other because we are all brothers.
Amen.
I remember this song was in a commercial about drug addiction back in the day
@@Ottawajames A commercial about drug addiction? There were selling narcotics?
Captain you're exactly right but I thought of a song for you Van Zant help somebody help somebody by the band science
And yes they are Ronnie Van Zant's Brothers
A kid shows up at Boy's Town Orphanage carrying a child on his back. Father Flanagan the priest that runs the orphanage says he'll help carry the child and the boy replies, "He ain't heavy, he's my brother." from the history of Boy's Town, I went to Catholic high school, we used to sing this song in church. Check out Turn Turn Turn.
Turn Turn Turn was by the Byrds
Apparently the phrase has it's origin in a reply of a little girl in 1884 who was carrying her young brother, who though small, was nearly as big as the girl herself. The phrase was used as a magazine column title, and then used as a slogan by Father Flanagan.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He_Ain%27t_Heavy,_He%27s_My_Brother
Cool 🤔😍🤗
@@mikeyaureliush9017 That little girl was Scottish! The quote "He's na heavy, he's mi brither!"
Boystowm was in my hometown. Truly amazing special place.
Hollies Long Cool Woman in a black dress
YES!!!
Absolutely!
Indubitably!
that ones always been my favorite
Ronald Poddig Great Song!
This song has special meaning to me, I had a little brother who died when this song was out. He was 4 years old! Breaks my heart when I hear this after nearly 50 years!😢
😢🤗😍
🙏🙏💔
Hugs, Baby Girl. Hugs.
The loss of a child always hits harder than when an adult passes. I am so sorry for your loss. Even though your brother isn't physically here. I can guarantee that he has always been by your side. You will be reunited with your little brother. When God calls you home. God bless! 🕊️❤️
I always thought the Hollies were underrated. They have a lot of good songs and were around a long time.
getting our brothers out of Viet NAM he aint heavy hes my brother
ed torrejon This song chokes me up. Vietnam has that effect on me too. I was really young back then, but we used to get “Life” and “Look” magazines. I remember the pictures. I also remember asking about those pictures, but the adults wouldn’t say much about it. I had uncles and cousins there. I found out later, they only wanted to protect me from the ravages of war. What they didn’t know, was their not telling me, left me to my own imagination and those magazines. I had nightmares for the soldiers, the villages and their people. The children! Just awful. All of it was just awful. Especially the aftermath that people still suffer to this day. ❤️
Yes carrying your brother out of the trenches of Vietnam. The road is long. My brother was in Vietnam at that time
My father would curse the war every time they put the death count on the news. He was a veteran, and respected the men who went, but hated the war...it will always be etched in my mind. A scar on our country in so many ways!
YES,yes my friend....THANK YOU! My Daddy taught me the meaning of this song.😞 He passed away 6/14/09. He lived with so much after being exposed to Agent Orange in the war. The pain was relentless from the diabetes and neuropathy. The mental illness,.....i miss him so damn much..😔🥺🥺
My husband was there. 101st airborne. I miss him-my soulmate.
This song has so much meaning to me. I spent 27 years taking care of my brother who had special needs. This was our song. He passed away and my heart is still broken. Thank you for the reaction. 😍
It ain't easy to do what you just did, either. Pulled that pitch right out of the air, you did! So, this is a Vietnam war song that we could all rally around. Guys carried their brothers to safety. He ain't heavy; he's my brother.
"The road is long ... with many a winding turn ... that leads us to who knows where ..."
Lots of truth and feelings in this song. 🔥
We need to remember this in our time of Corona...
My grandfather used to be a touring musician back in the 70s, he was playing this song at a bar and his lil brother happened into the bar.
His brother was a Vietnam vet, who rode with the Hells Angels and suffered a lot of PTSD and drug problems after Vietnam and that was the first time he saw his brother after years (of his brother being off on the road). He cries when he tells that story of seeing him while playing that song.
Good sentiment for these times, we're all brothers, people forget this! Love your appreciation for good music, keep it up!
Our pants go on one leg at a time
No matter how rich or poor
If cut we all bleed red
No matter the color of skin.
Anti-War some for all times
Thank you once again for touching my heart with music. Mr. Vodeo you're PISSHA. That's a Boston MA compliment.
Lost my b brother to cancer...this was the one song or words I could have said to him.. although through his journey I never left his side one second..I miss him and this brought back so many emotions... thank you my friend for this reaction...I cried but a good cry...man you are amazing keep up the good work..cause we as a family here have your back..your our brother!!
Cathy Marlow, your post mad me so sad. I’m truly sorry that you lost your brother. As I listened, I was thinking about some losses in my own life. That song just hits a vulnerable spot in the heart. 😢
Cathy Marlow Hi Cathy! I'm SO sorry for your loss! I have an older brother and he lives alone on the other side of the city! I worry about him! I teamed up as soon as I read your comment! I'm a softie! Please take care and God Bless from Australia.
My cousin has Downs Syndrome and he and his performing art buddies did a rendition of this that totally broke me. So beautiful ❤️
What an amazing sister you are x god bless x
Cathy Marlow, I lost my brother to pancreatic cancer. I was devastated. I couldn’t function and I didn’t want to live without him. I finally got a tattoo on my shoulder with a cross that says, he ain’t heavy, he’s my brother, and I felt like I always had him with me because I felt guilty for living and not thinking about him every minute of every day. 🙏❤️
i've used this quote for many many years "he ain't heavy he's by brother", it has served me well
Long cool woman is a must
Absolutely
My fave song by them
One of my fav driving songs
Great song often confused as CCR
Of course.
The acoustic guitar guy is also singing the melody on that line and takes over for the last word while the lead singer transitions to harmonica. Next up of their later period: "The Air I Breathe" and "Long Cool Woman". From their earlier period "Bus Stop" and "Carrie Ann".
That 'other guy' is Tony Hicks. The Hollies were a 3 part harmony but Graham Nash left the band to join David Crosby and Stephen Stills.
Read below pls
@@nikolateslasj5854 All true. I phrased it that way because theres no way Mr Video would have known his actual name. The same reason I referred to Allan as "lead singer" not by name.
This song has a story.1918 a little boy (Howard Loomis)with polio (he wore heavy leg braces)was dumped at an orphanage by his mother.Walking was difficult, especially up an down stairs.The older boys started carrying Howard on their backs because it was so difficult for him to walk.One day,the priest who ran the home asked one of the boys(Reuben Granger)if carrying Howard was difficult.Reuben said"He Ain't Heavy,Father....He's my Brother.Kinda gets you in the Feels.
Now that’s a grade A f*cking tune man
YES
He ain't heavy, Father… he's m' brother.” Those iconic words have symbolized the spirit of Boys Town for decades. ... In 1943, Father Flanagan was paging through a copy of Ideal magazine when he saw an image of an older boy carrying a younger boy on his back. The caption read, “He ain't heavy, mister… he's my brother.”Jun 9, 2017

The Story Behind “He Ain't Heavy…” - Boys Town
I like that song he ain’t heavy, he’s my brother. It touches my heart ❤️
Check out their songs "air that i breath" and "long cool woman".
Both of these are panty droppers!
Someone made a video of this with photos of military men saving their brothers in arms, it really chokes you up.
Also then you get to hear their gorgeous studio recording of this song.
Also, picture in your head, new york firefighters carrying world trade centre victims out of the rumble. very emotional song about humanity!
Funny that you said they reminded you of The Bee Gees, as they both have their roots in Manchester England. The Hollies were the last concert my Mum ever attended a few months before she died back in 1993 and they are still touring. I actually bought my Dad tickets to see them earlier this year but it had to be postponed due to Covid-19.
If you want to check out some of their early stuff, I’d recommend starting with ‘Can’t Let Go’ from the 60’s but I’d also recommend ‘The Air That I Breathe’ from the 70’s.
This song was from an era when we really believed we could make a difference in this cold old world. We could use a little more of this attitude today. ❤️
Being at a loss for words shows your respect for a brilliant song.
Graham Nash was originally in the Hollies before moving to America to become part of the brilliant Crosby, Stills and Nash.
YES! I would love for Mr. Video's first reaction to CSN to be Questions / Carry On. Or Suite Judy Blue Eyes. But I can already see the joy on his face when they reach the climax of Carry On.
And Young.
Another go to song for me when the world around me feels so divided - lifts my spirits every time.
I was 10 years old in '69 when this song came out...calling for everyone to take care of each other. I'm now 61 years old and have seen much. This song is as relevant and necessary now as it was all those years ago. ☮💜
I always remember this song as a kid in the 90s there was an addiction help commercial with this song and it showed a short story of 2 brothers growing up and when they're adults one is visiting the other in a hospital, it was actually very confusing as a kid, he was in a robe and I didn't understand why he has to be there, I think I though it was an aids commercial cuz I didn't know what drugs really were, I'm gonna try and find it on youtube
I found it, ua-cam.com/video/P6rO3TGDAHs/v-deo.html
Wow it must be at least 25 years since I've seen it, the commercial was clearly about drug use but I remember being very confused as a kid
This song should be listened to by everyone Right Now!
There song All I need is the air that i breathe
Priceless song 😍🤩😉
If you watch, it was the other guitar player on the left, Terry Sylvester, that took the lead vocal for that one line while Alan Clark brought the harmonica up to play. The Hollies were a top producing British Band in the late 60's and 70's who's music is timeless
So, so many people say this was written about Vietnam.
All I will say is look up the history of "Boys Town". From there you can draw your own conclusion.
Whatever; it is still one of the most heart moving pieces of music I have ever heard.
One boy carrying another has been their lo-go. Yes it started there at Boys Town
Great song for all time
Your right, the title of the song was the motto for boys town ran by a priest in 1917 for troubled and homeless boys, the song was written by Bobby Scott and Bob Russell, then giving to Joe cocker and then the hollies ,I also agree the lyrics are so powerful that the song can mean many things to many people .
Wonko Da Sane I always thought of the disable children when I heard this song.
@@v.downes9608 And a very worthwhile sentiment that is. You are obviously a very caring human. Personally it has always made me think of the downtrodden and neglected of our human family.
I don't think it was written about Vietnam, but the sentiment was applied in that era, and properly too, I think.
"The Air That I Breathe" and "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress".
I've heard that song since I was a kid and never "listened" to them saying "he ain't heavy, he's my brother". Maybe I heard he in heaven.
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart isn't
Filled with the gladness
Of love for one another...
In 1918, Fr Flanagan saw one boy carrying his crippled brother on his back. When he asked if the boy was heavy, the older one replied: “He ain’t heavy; he’s my brother, Father.”
This inspired Fr Flanagan to adopt the response as a slogan for Boys Town, and it, in turn inspired the famous song, which became a hit for the Hollies in 1969 and Neil Diamond in 1970.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written ❤
This song grabs your heart and makes you want to burst with emotion. Let in out, brother. I love every reaction you pour out.
The Hollies can harmonize with the best of them. Wow! So smooth
Their group name came from their respect for music legend, Buddy Holly.
Neil Diamond did a great cover of this song - I love both versions - love the song, as it states in such a beautiful way, that caring for your fellow human who is in need of help, isn't a burden when you have compassion in your heart.
Kenny Rogers and The First Edition’s “Tell It All Brother” is another must.
And the song ruby by them
I just Checked in (to see what condition my condition is in) by KR and First Edition
Ann k: awesome suggestion,I haven't heard that tune for years.
@ Andrew Stephens Yes! Another great one! ‘I Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)’!
Bruh someone else was singing when he whipped up the harmonica. I know it looked like FM, but it was just a smooth transition. lol
Man now that was a fucking fast reply! You da man!
Alan Clarke was singing but Tony Hicks (left) finishes the vocal when Clarke picks up the harmonica.. They have amazing harmonies.
@@nikolateslasj5854 ..Terry Sylvester sang at end😊
Ridiculously successful band, had tons of hits, they are from England 👌👍
The vocal talent on display in this song is unbelievable.
Yep! “Long cool woman” is a MUST! 🧡💛✌️✨
You'd LOVE Dion's Abraham, Martin, and John (and Bobby) ... We need to get this song back out there!!!!
I love listening to every ones reactions to songs I've been listening to since the 60's through the 70's
You make me laugh so much. You just have to hit pause with that expression on your face and before you’ve even said anything I am laughing out loud.
I KNOW. His reaction the The Hollies "He Ain't Heavy" was priceless. 😂💜 Allan Clarke's voice is so amazing. Such a strong and 'CLEAN' voice.
This song always chokes me up.
Before becoming famous , Elton John was a session musician. He played the piano when The Hollies recorded the song in the studio
If Im leaning at all, then Im leaning with sadness that everyones heart isn't filled with the gladness of love for one another....
LÉO….at our house this song is special. My oldest son has a brother with Down Syndrome. And he says. He ain’t heavy. He’s my brother. No burden is he to bear❤
Many amazing songs. One of the best bands.
This, and The Youngbloods - Get Together, has stamped the world with 2 of the most inspirational songs of “love one another, help one another, brothers and sisters”
Both released during the Vietnam War.
dude on guitar faded in , hit it perfectly
The Hollies created so many great songs. You will be going down a rabbit hole with guys. Also, this lineup featured Allan Clarke, vocals and Harmonica, Terry Sylvester - Rhythm guitar and vocals, Tony Hicks- Lead and bass guitars and vocals, Bernie Calvert - Bass guitar and Piano, and Bobby Elliot - Drums. I would recommend On a Carousel, Look Through Any Window, Romany, Stop, Stop, Stop, and many others.
We're all brothers under the sun and should help each other carry their loads.a message before it's time. Love the hollies. They had so many great songs and that young guy on the guitar never gets any older!
I soooo loved your reaction. You and I are feeling the same and we couldn’t be more different. Thanks for you being you. He’s my brother!!!!❤❤❤
You went down a rabbit hole there, try The Air That I Breath, Bus Stop, Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress. Epic Songs Enjoy.
Loving the variety of your channel. Enjoying this musical journey right along with you. Heck some of this stuff I haven't heard in years. Wish you nothing but the best moving this channel forward. One of the truest reaction channels on UA-cam. 👍
Mr Video I love you. You are real. I loved your whole reaction top to bottom. It's a great song. It might be my favorite song in the world. ...that harmonica transition drove me crazy too. But it's a great song. I love it. I agree with the Hollies. I try my best. Peace&Love, A Child of the 70's, Laurie
"He ain't Heavy, he's my brother", deadly song, God bless you bro 💯🙏
my mum's best friend when they where teenagers went out with the drummer from the hollies mum got to see all the cool bands in the 60s
I have 3 big brothers and this is my song to them especially when 2 went to war 🏴🏴
My eldest sons carried their 11 year old brothers white, red rose covered coffin into the church at his funeral to this and I cried like a baby
I can tell you loved this song you can listen to it on repeat! For Sure! That dude can sang and the harmonies ! Wow!
From the time it came in 1969 through the 70's every Radio station played this song 24-7 😎
A hymn to humanity and kindness.
One of my very most favorite songs from the seventies
I was feelin this as a child.
It so touched my heart ❤️
Brilliant song, i remember this song playing over a video of refugee kids crying at a refugee camp, that's what this song is about to stop hurting and start helping our brothers no matter who they are or where they are.
this song still applies to everything thats happening today. Love for one another. Help each other on the way.
its a long long road from which there is no return meaning our journey through life
our brother is everyone...thats what i take from the song
The most MEANINGFUL song ever wrote. Beautiful..
The bass player did the last note when the lead singer started play the harmonica. It was brilliant !
l close my eyes and l'm back in 1969.......simply brilliant Britsh band singing with real passion ...🙂
You're doing some of the most diverse, amazing genres of music. I love it
you got it .. he's my brother, yes he is saying YOU . thats it. thats the message
I Love your channel... you play music that I forgot about long ago. This song is so beautiful and I will have to listen to regularly from now on. Thanks for all these great reminders. Keep up your fantastic work!!!
I love Allan Clarke's voice. INCREDIBLE!!🤗❤️
Always brings a tear to the eye. Bobby Russell wrote this song while dying of cancer in Los Angeles, recorded in 1969.
such a lovely yet sad song...classic Hollies! thx for sharing Mr. Video!
Leeeooooo! 70k bro! Congrats!! I am totally convinced we’ll hit 100k by the new year! Keep it up my man!! You deserve all the subs and likes we can get you.
Bro. Lawd!!! I can't. I haven't laughed this hard in my life. Leave my brotha alone.
Yes that song Floors me every time ..we played it at my brother's funeral.
The universal brother in us all. We are meant to take care of each other.
It’s in our DNA.
I can’t listen to this without tears falling.
I love your reaction!!! You rock man!! ❤❤❤
Amazing song! Im also amazed by all the great commentary on this song! Love your reaction and comments to this one. For some reason Im seeing alot of these older reactions popping up now. Could be blocking etc..Enjoying them these last 3 days 👌👍
Good funeral song. Played this at my bro’s funeral...on the ride home the song played on the station we were lisrening to
I smoke two joints in the morning i smoke two joint at night i smoke two joint in time of peace and two at time of war !!!!please do some sublime
Or the original by Bob Marley. Either one's a winner.
Do not smoke, particularly not joints.
Caress me down is a must❤
Hard work good hard work fine but 1st take care of head!
Oh stop it !!! I'm jealous ! In NC we still have to be sneaky ...
7:20 the final note is sung by one of the backup singers (you can hear the change in voice) while the lead singer goes into harmonica
I love finding new music from your reactions!
Beautiful song and beautiful meaning. Have a Blessed day.
Coincidentally, when this song got re-released in the UK in 1989 (it was used on a commercial) and actually topped the singles chart, my brother was living with me because he had fallen on hard times. A straight role reversal from the days when he used to pick me up form school on his motorcycle.
Chris Cornell “Nothing compares 2 U” Live at Sirius XM! Dude is amazing with this Prince cover!! Keep it up man!
Yes this ones a must
DEEP MAN ,FOR WHAT IT WORTH WE ARE ALL BROTHER'S AND SISTER'S IN THIS CRAZY WORLD, PEACE AND LOVE
The Hollies were a poptastic band out of Manchester, England (kind of next door to - but antipathetic towards - the Beatles' home town of Liverpool) and perhaps never get the respect they deserve. When second vocalist/guitarist Graham Nash left to form the obviously named Crosby, Stills & Nash, he became a headliner.
Great reaction my friend.. Sending best wishes from ENGLAND uk
Congrats on 70k 💥⚡🎉
Awesome song.
Thanks for all the videos you put out.
Check out their "Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress" awesome song
