    The Harmonica you hear is played by Alan Clarke the lead singer. My husbands favourite group and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen them live . They just blow you away. They sound exactly the same live as they do in the studio. The good old days were simply the best . Great Reaction. Denise from Yorkshire England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💓💓👍👍

    FYI, We hippies felt like this song was written for us. Because that's who we were. People who wanted to live in peace together, no matter race, religion or sexual orientation. Everyone was included, no one more important than the other. I raised all my boys that way and now they're married to wonderful women of all shades and cultures. When we who lived through it are gone all you will have is what they have manipulated to fit their narrative. We still remember, we still have hope that one day we can all live in peace on this rock. 😊

    Love this group. The Hollies are a British pop rock group formed in 1962 & known for their great harmonies. They had so many hit songs such as "Bus Stop", "Stop Stop Stop", "The Air That I Breathe", "On A Carousel", "Carrie Anne", "Here I Go Again", "Look Through Any Window", "King Midas In Reverse", "Jennifer Eccles", "Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress" etc. "Graham Nash" was originally in this group & left in 1968 to form "Crosby, Stills & Nash".

    That is a harmonica at the beginning (mouth harp). I think it has a powerful and majestic way of setting the stage for an ode. And oh what an ode it is! The Hollies made a lot of good music back in the day. Long Co Woman Bus Stop, The Air That I Breathe, just to name a few. Keep digging, there's gold to be found....!

"The song’s title comes from the logo for Boys Town, a community established in 1917 by Father Edward Flanagan in Omaha, Nebraska, where homeless and troubled boys could receive help. The phrase “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” captures the spirit of Boys Town and has become synonymous with charity."

      As with many songs and poetry, there is a duality in meaning. The original quote is based on a story of a young Scottish girl carrying her baby brother in the late 1800s (the oldest known telling of the scenario), and was later embraced as a statement by Boys' Town. But of course, the lyrics are meant to be taken as a statement that we all should be helping our brethren, which means all mankind.

"Bus Stop" has a great storyline and melody as well. And then they can rock out with "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress".

    Or, taken in context of the times in which it was written/performed/recorded, we're all brothers and sisters under the skin. We are all human beings together. We can carry each other as needed, right? Some of us need less carrying, some of us need more. It could all balance out though, if we managed a moment of making it reality, right? Yah, it aint gonna happen, but we can dream and sing about it, right? Damn. I really love this song, as much now as then.

    If you watch one of the live performances('Midnight Special'being one of the better ones), you can see Allan Clarke playing the intro on harmonica, and the last ... "he's my brother" is actually sung by the backing vocalist so that Clarke can play the outro on harmonica. 'G' harmonica, by the way, for anyone who wants to recreate that beautifully stirring part.

    Hi Saeed😊..yes it's a harmonica.. this song carries a strong message that resonates through the years, and never gets old.A beautiful song that can make you emotional..it makes me ponder over many things, and I do get emotional when that happens. I remember when they sang songs that made the teeny-boppers dance ( young teenagers and pre-teens)The first one that comes to mind is " Bus Stop" about young love, and "On a Carousel" which both had a different feel than this beautiful song. Then there's another song with even another totally different feel, from 1972 "Long Cool Woman ( in a black dress)" where the writers were trying to tap in to the American drinking culture particularly the prohibition era..and I used to think that one was about spies,😅.

    *Funny you mention Forrest Gump, because this song came out during the Vietnam War, and was hugely popular among soldiers. "The Air That I Breathe" is iconic.*

      I was seeing that scene where he carries the soldiers out of the jungle while this song was playing. Reminded me of that. Thanks for watching and the recommendation!

    Youve found one of the most lyrically beautiful songs ever. A true place called Boys Town in Omaha, Nebraska. It still is running To this day and helps troubeled and foster boys by finding them a place to learn and grow. The story goes one of the boys was wheel chair bound. The boys would carry him upstairs every night because "he ain't heavt, he's my brother".

    There is another video (might be a copy of this one) where they are actually singing it live. This is the audio track matched with a live performance, so you're not hearing what they actually sounded like live. You can hear the rhythm piano part with Reg Dwight tinking the keys (before he was Elton John). This is the studio version that was the AM radio hit and not the live audio.

    🌸 you're right the 15 year difference does does make a big difference in siblings..... I had my children actually 11 months apart all three of them and they have grown up and they stay very very close and best friends and that's what I had hoped for 🤍

      Very big difference. I was an only child for my formative years. Now my brother is 22 and he is traveling with his friends and partying. And me i am now more an indoors person 😄
      Sounds like you have a beautiful family ❤️

    🎊 You’re right; that was a harmonica. That instrument seems to have disappeared in the 21st Century; like so many other pleasantries of our past. You’re a “One Man Band” when it comes to reviving/revitalizing/reinvigorating/remembering our wonderful musical history.
