- As the Sixties drew to a close, many popular bands of the time saw the need to evolve and change ... but few made it! Notable exceptions were The Beegees and The Hollies. When this release entered the UK charts in October 1969, it marked a radical new style for them. Elton John is the piano player on this one ....
Imagine there is a war and nobody joins...
There would be no war!
Sorry mate 👍
Definitely, our clan ain't gonna go. Cuz it's just brother killing brother no matter how y'all look at it.
@@Hundert1 Perhaps they were once brothers but no more. There's no going back.
@@mannypacquiao7 Don't be negative 😉
I'm a Vietnam vet (USMC) and this song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. It reminds me of times long ago when men were men and girls were girls. No greater gift can any man give than to lay down his life for his brother. Rusty in eastern Tennessee
Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸
Semper Fi My Brother!!!
Salute to you, thank you sir.
Amen
Amen
A beautiful heartfelt tribute. I served 68-72 as a sergeant.
I’m a Vietnam veteran who lost both legs and every time I hear this song I get a heavy punch to my stomach and tears flowing from my eyes remembering everything but one thing I can tell you I wish I could go back again
Thank you sir for your service👍
✌️🇺🇸 Thank you...So very much Sir for serving our Great Country.🇺🇸 Love and Peace to you and to all of Our Brave Vietnam Veterans always....Never to Be Forgotten....🥰xo
Thank you for you’re Service 🇺🇸
Welcome home brother...sorry our home is in deep shit!...They could keep all their stimulas money and bs...would better see you with your legs...stay strong stay focused...big hug to you...
Billy I was thinking about you today want to wish you happy holidays....hope you have family and friends to share with....
Very powerful! I'm 65 and a vet. I'm swimming 15 miles in 6 days for the Wounded Warriors project. I start my swim at 6 in the AM with this song in my heart! My brothers and sisters and their families need our help and I'm proud to help them and our country! God Bless everyone
I'm a Vietnam vet and getting old. *I have COPD and I get winded just thinking of your swim but thank you so much.
Thank you for your service young man! God Bless you and all who served! God Bless you and your family Soldier! I've never served in the military but I've been in wars! I have a question for you, Do all the proceeds who donate to wounded warriors project go to all who are in need, because they advertise with celebrities and commercials that have to be paid for, so I'm just wondering if most of the money donated by the people who care, are their funds being used for the betterment of those impacted by War and not to profit off the poor people giving their money away?
Great song
In so many ways, thank you! My youngest daughter and son in law are F16 Crew Chief's. AF. I'm your same age. I was home watching the body counts. No cartoons. ALWAYS know in my heart and mind, heroes are real! Thank you for stepping up to the plate. I'd rather not hear political propaganda. That wasn't our war. God bless you, your loved one's and all of your comrades, my hero's.!
Thank you, Monte, and especially for swimming for your brothers. Wounded Warriors is one of the few charities I'll always support, that, and ASPCA! Both need our help so badly and we're happy to help! There are some charities who spend all their money with sad ads on TV, constantly, but they don't get my money, I'm not paying board members, but I will help our wounded warriors and the many lost animals who need our help.
My father passed on day after Easter. He was 80, and was in marines. My father never said a bad thing about anyone. He was a fantastic father who helped me many times. I love you dad.
I'm very sorry.
Semper Fi to your father’s memory. From a seventy year old Marine.
He was a man God blesses his soul 🙏
So sorry for your loss, blessed to have had him. Best to you. Peace & Comfort!
Stand proud
My father was in the South Pacific WW2 ,,,,, He lied about his age and got in when he was 17 ,,, first Marine division ,,,,, (The big red one) 60 years later I was deployed in the Philippines and Afghanistan ,,,,,, I am so damn proud to serve my country ,,,,, But that was a walk in the park compared to what my dad went through in The South Pacific ,,,,, That is why they are the greatest generation ..i Miss him so much 😭😭😭😭
I sure wish the world would realize we're all brothers and sisters.
Amen, brother, AMEN. PRAYERS 🙏
😢😢 prayers sent 🙏🙏🙏
Matthew 12:46-50
New Testament for Everyone
46 Suddenly, while he was speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers came and stood outside, hoping for a chance to speak to him.
47 “Look,” someone said to him, “your mother and your brothers are standing outside wanting to speak to you.”
48 “Who is my mother?” said Jesus to the person who had spoken to him. “Who are my brothers?”
49 Then he stretched out his hand towards his disciples.
“Look!” he said. “Here are my mother and my brothers. 50 Yes; anyone who does what my heavenly father wants is my brother, and my sister, and my mother.”
I think about this often and wonder why in this age of the internet we are still fighting each other...
The most loving and kindest statement!! 💗💗💗 Many Blessings to you !!!
My dad,who is in poor health is 84 years old and US Army retired. Two tours Korea and one tour in Vietnam. No matter how we feel about both wars, US soldiers stood up to serve America. Never forget their sacrifice. They didn't come home to parades and discounts from stores being a veteran.
🙏🙏🙏👍
My Aunt went into the Army Nursing Corp. At age 22 !!! Her first Assignment was at the bottom of Porkchop Hill......she finished her time in KOREA when the "Police Action" ended ! She then ran hospitals in France & Germany until the VIETNAM WAR !!! She served in VIETNAM Nursing for One last year !!! My Aunt came home with the High Rank of a FULL COLONEL !!! SHE had Many award & medals; including the Bronze Star !!!
She continued to run hospitals stateside; including one in TEXAS and one in FORT MONMOUTH, NJ . MY AUNT, COL. BARBARA V. NALLY RETIRED FROM FORT MONMOUTH NJ WITH HONORS.
When she passed away it was with FULL HONORS and a TWENTY-ONE GUN SALUTE !!!
GOD BLESS MY DEAR AUNT AND THE COUNTRY SHE GAVE HER LIFE TO !!! GOD BLESS AMERICA 🙏.....!
God bless you and your father.
skinny! Old Marine salutes your old man! Semper fi.
And our soldiers of the past didn't want to wear dresses. God bless our REAL men.
Sadly, this “brotherhood “ in the US, is now long gone. Politics has split us, let’s pray music like this can unite us once again. We need to help each other up when we fall down.
Peter ha ha ha yall aint never been brother to blacks. You aught to be ashame of your self
@@mechcurry6732 you have no idea what your talking about. In the military we were all green. All my brothers were green. It didn’t matter what their skin color was, they were green. That was 1974 for me and, unless you’re an asshole you’re my brother.
Thank you for the comment yep politics ruined this place. Bye to the good times.
You call it politics. I call it morality.
Vietnam Nam. 69 thru 71 ,yes we wore OD green, and yes, we were all brothers. I was 19 when I was sent to Nam and 21 when I returned. Back to the World that didn’t want us...."... We were brothers........ I wonder at times why I made it back to the world and a lot of my brothers didn’t, alive? This song brings back a lot of tears every time I hear it. Some day, I will have the courage to go to the Wall and look up the names that I can still remember as my memory is fading faster than I want it to. We were all brothers.............sadly for this country that is falling apart and can’t talk to each other or express an opinion with out being censored or thrown out of Twitter or Facebook.......sad world this has become and a lot of my brothers gave their life’s for this ungrateful Democratic and Republican Party......so sad ! Tearful even.
My brother is a veteran. Im listening to this with tears for him and all who gave the most selfless act of their life to protect our great country. God Bless You All 🇺🇸
God bless you but honestly who came to your country to kill you? To date no one 😢
God bless them.❤️
❤️❤️👉👉❤️❤️👉❤️❤️
God bless you .God bless america.and all of us who remember what them and what memorial day is REALLY All About. 🇺🇸
I am Vietnam Veteran and this song means a lot to me and tears rolling down my cheeks whenever I hear or played it on my guitar. I also remember my uncles who all survived the Bataan Death March carrying and helping each other, the sick and the wounded for hundreds of miles without medicine, food and water.
In memory also to my fellow Vietnam Veterans living and dead. Thank you to all who have served this Great Nation of ours and those who are still serving.
God Bless The USA.🇺🇸
With you brother, it has been a long road. To this day, I can't believe I made it home. United States Army Veteran with you no matter what, where, and when.
Sir,Thank You For Your Service. Salute To You and To All Veterans Around World. Ever time I hear this song I remember my Dad He was Member Of Philippine Army . I missed you Dad!😢❤️
and Most of my family are members of Armed Forces of The Philippines and most people called us”Military Family”, That’s why my heart goes to all veterans, because they served their countries to bring peace🫡🫡🫡❤️❤️❤️
God bless you sir for serving in Vietnam you are a loyal man to America 🇺🇸 a true american thank you for appreciation to our British band the hollies and iam going to send your message to Alan Clarke of the hollies iam sure he will appreciate you God bless you with love from great Britain. Xxxxxx
Thank you for your service. Prayers for you 🙏. Freedom. Is NOT free. 😅
Thank you for your Service to Our Country. So Much Respect for you🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸my Big Only Brother served at age 19 from 1969 till 1973 🙏 my Bro is Awesome. But it took a hard toll on him and ALL OF US WHO LOVE HIM✌🙏❤💔
I am 80 yes old lived with that war as a young person. Don't ever forget these men and women!!!!
Respect
I was 6 in 69. I remember the footage on tv. I wont forget. I'm 60 now.
Love to you.❤
@@RepentfollowJesusI'm going to be 65 July 7 my father was a United States Marine he passed away when I was 5 do to disclosed information ty for your service 🙏❤😢😢
I did what the picture shows back in 68. The Marine lived and I never saw him again until 37 years later. What a reunion. He never really knew what happened that day as he was in bad shape. I went out and got him and another Marine Fred Kneely took over and kept him alive until the dust off came.Doyle Carr. He is something special to me but I only knew him for 3 days back then. We stay friends yet today.
My mother told me a story about this song. A man saw a boy carrying a larger boy.the man asked if he was too small to carry him. The boy said, "He ain't heavy Mister, he's my brother." Thank you, mom, that was a beautiful story.
The old Boys Town statue is of a kid carrying his brother and that is the title. “He ain’t heavy mister, he’s my brother.” It is a boy’s home in Nebraska founded by Fr. Edward Flannagan. It was founded in 1917.
I JUST told my mum the same story!
The boys were orphans and the one being carried had polio and couldnt walk. So they carried him around with them, stemming the question.
The song is about a american solder saw a little Vietnamese boys who carry hos brother, and the asked him isnt he heavy, the little boys answer ‘’he aint heavy hos My brother’’
@@justifiedrampagethere was an orphanage for the children whose parents they lost during war. This child was caring his brother up the steep hill. The priest ask “do you need help so . The child said “ no father he ain’t heavy he’s my brother “❤😢
I am a former Marine, I did two tours in Vietnam. 5 of us joined together to avoid the draft. Now, I am the last one living. I lost my last brother recently. This song brings back many memories.
Aren’t they a bit young to have all passed away?
@@beboppalooka9897Buds most Vietnam veterans are 75 or older, were you serious or just acting stupid
I'm heartful sorry 😔 stay Strong and GOD bless you 🙏🏾🙏🏽❤️
@@rattlesnake63 yeah that’s young for all of them to die. 75 is at most the average age, many of them aren’t even 70. Do you know tons of 70 year olds dying, or are you stupid?
@@beboppalooka9897 yes, I do Dumb shit, I know lots of them in their 40’s that died from exposure to Agent Orange. You know nothing. Stupid you
To those of you who served back then ... THANK YOU! You are the true heroes of the 1960s.
And didn't have a choice.
My brother was one of those who fought on Chu Moor Mountain in April of "68 he lost a Pvt. who if it was not for him, there would have been other names added to The Wall. Herbert Hammond is/was his name, he was 11 days shy of becoming a 20 year old😞💔😞
And welcome home!
@@janevarley5540 That's such a tragedy! I'm sorry. My father was in Vietnam, but he came home. Probably bcuz of someone like your brother. I thank him.
Yes they were!;!
My dad was in ww2. He made it home. The true hero he was ..He died 2007.
Dad was in ww2. Came home with a chest full of medals and a monkey on his back that he never recovered from. Passed at 68. It was not a happy childhood. I’m 75 now and realized that all the post war hardship we encountered were in vain.
@@gyroonesix5862 we got to carry on dear
Same here...."The Greatest Generation" !!
Mine was also. Brave until the end.
@@SteveRaab100 my dad died 1983 British RAF Sargent served in North Africa Italy good man!
I just got the call that my little brother died of stomach cancer an hour ago. This is my new favorite song. I raise my whisky glass to you, Michael.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Bless you, your brother and all those left to remember him.
Love and light @WilliamWest, kate, toronto
So very sorry for everyone who lost loved ones
It's hard to "like" your comment, but I wish comfort for you, and joy in your memories of Michael.
@@gailwilliams2678 not sure time zone you are in..i don't think i said anything wrong I'm in MI.and its 2:50 am
I so wanted to join the Army but my Dad was murdered and my mom needed help so I quit School. My brother in law came home at the end of the war and had been shot 9 times.
GOD BLESS OUR SOLDIERS😢❤
My son was in the army. Enlisted when towers we t down. Served many tours over there and in areas not known. Thank you all that served
I love you & thank you& your family so very much for your service it's a long, long road! Your my sister from Fort Hood! Take care!!
Yes. Great song and touching for.those who served.
OUTKAST 13 wants to thank your son! I retired last month at age 60! Went in 1984! Should've died numerous times but GOD ALMIGHTY kept me alive! Granada to Parts Unknown! Ghost Squad we do not exist
I am a Former Marine who served during first Gulf War. On 9/11 my deceased Mother woke me up before I had to go to my EMT job, informing me about attacks. I said You know what this means, it will be my generations first protracted War; and You will reenlist. At 32 I went over again, but that time Army. Four in the Corps was enough for me, Two in the Army was gravy.
@@georgemccormick769 my son was an active reservist and than active. His army days weren't gravy due to what he did. Retired after 26years. Hope you are okay from ur your.
I was a gunship Flight Lieutenant in1972. We cas-evaced so many wounded and dying young boys of the battle field. THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH TEARS. NOR ANGER, AT THE LOSS OF THESE BOYS. I think of them every day - almost 60 years now. The images persist. Roma Victor! AirMobil!
I was a year behind you Brother. I was sent to the RVN in early 73 as an 05C. What I saw, well, let's just say I feel ya.
RESPECT
Thank you so much for your service. Never forgotten in my heart
To all the soldiers here, thank you for your service. God Bless you all.
Franco I was in that region of Asia in 1970! We made it back. brings back a lot of memories!✌✌
We wives, children and girlfriends waited for our men to come home. Some did; some did not. We cried. We prayed. We worked to aid our soldiers. God Bless these brave men who died for our freedom and to hell with the politicians who started these wars. There is no justice.
My friend I feel your pain everyday, justice is coming. You stay strong and we will carry our brothers across the finish line and we will keep the spirits alive for eternity. God bless you ❤🙏
It’s not enough to say to hell with the politicians, say to hell to the corporations that pay the politicians to start these insane wars. The Vietnamese are still looking for some of the 2 million people of theirs that died in that made for profit war. The biggest mistake the Vietnamese made was not letting the USA win, so they would have rebuilt all the destruction they had caused, and for what ?, to make corporations and politicians richer !
I was never in the military, rejected due to a heart murmur. But I found my own way to serve, with the Red Cross and the Salvation Army. To our men and women in uniform, we may not be brothers and sisters in arms, but I did consider us to be your cousins in arms. If that makes any sense.
@@erzahler1930 I understand. I was born with a murmur and had surgery when I was eleven. Thank you for your patriotism.
Thank you for being there for our Veterans as a Veteran I salute you
I am canadien. I was a US military wife for 18 years. My brother , cousins, and oncle served in the canadien military. Now my son is serving. I hope that i Will Never have To play that song for him. God bless all vétérans and active military and those missing. I have huge respect for all of you. Thank you.
This song isnt for you, being a wife means nothing you dont get to have the same reverence and respect just because you married someone who served,
@@MARIUS2776well said
Wats u with Canadian men that think it is ok to lie and say they were USMC during nam.???
@@carlawestlund4429 Why wouldn't they just say they were with the Royal Canadian Marines? I worked with them when I was in the USMC...they are good guys, so are the Brits and the Aussies...worked with them all in beachhead Zodiac assaults to and from stern gates...
@@allhopeabandon7831 I have no idea. I have run into so many guys who pretend to be Canadian vets as well . Then as time passed find out they weren't shame on you all
This song came out the year my husband was in Vietnam. It's our song. I cry now when I hear it. My Marine husband died 1and a half years ago from Agent Orange. He went thru 22 years of cancers. He is my hero and I will love him forever. He ain't heavy he's my brother.
He's good dear waiting for you

i am in the uk but still want to say thank you for his service, not all heroes wear capes bless you xx
Marina, I hear and feel for you. My husband was in the Air Force. They never were heavy. Always remembered. He died of cancer because at the time there were no safety regulations for Air Craft Mechanics crawling into places without safety gear.

I am not a veteran but my Dad was in World War 2 in Germany and my brother was in Vietnam I am very proud of the both of them. For 28 years I worked at the Veteran Home of California in Yountville California. I want to say to all Veterans Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your great service , in honour of upholding your Nation's values
I am also an army veteran , from India
I lost my eldest son , a captain, fighting against militants , in a firefight
I share your desire to be back in action
GOD BLESS YOU
This song reminds my of my husband who, for his whole life, had taken care of his little brother who is very disabled. His brother can do very little for himself. Out of 6 children, my husband is the only one that has stayed behind to take care of his brother full time. Makes me love my husband even more!
If a husband can take care of another, he will never abandon you come what may ... 🙏💕
I like your handle eat meat and I love u all for the compassion strength and humanity... We can all use a lot more off💕🙏
@Eatmeat424 Your story is far more relatable and more relevant to the song than the warmongers who went halfway across the world to kill other people's sons. Love and respect to your husband. ❤
I lost my brother this year. He struggled for over 20 years to a life of drug addiction. He did come good in the end. He fought the battle and won... I often felt the words of this song because we and his family fought the good fight...he's my brother.. RIP
I’m so sorry 😔
So sorry for ur lost May He R.I.P and Lubbock Texas sends PRAYERS Sweetie 🙏❤
He wasn't heavy, he was your brother
A very great touching song. I can relate to this song because I lost my dear beloved brother through the hustle & bustle life, etc. But at the end he did good & he fought
the battle & won. Praise the Lord. He's my brother ...RIP
MY DEAR BROTHER
VICTOR 🙏 💐💐💐💐
Mary my condolences I had family in those times my husband Is part of the pull out not good .
This song was a hit in 1969 when my mother was dying of cancer. It brings it all back, but I love it!!
As a combat medic this song kept me strong carrying my brothers to safety.
It made my burden easier to carry.
He AIN'T HEAVY
Thank you for your service sir insane zombie . You are a wonderful man . Dion had a beautiful song too that makes me cry. Ithink its Abraham John Martin
Thank you for yor service. Though i do not like war, sometimes it is both necissary and can give help and hope to many.
This is a fact in this broken world.
My fellow medic, I agree and thanks for your service!
Thank you for the service and telling a story in life.

This is a timeless song well written and very well sung 👏
I CERTAINLY AGREE WITH YOU.
Right on .... one of the great classic songs that will be relevant and remembered forever.
A greatest evergreen song.......
Even when our time comes this song will always be remembered.......... 🪖 ⚔️
Yes, i agree 👍
This song is a British tune sang by a British band the hollies.so don't be no fucking yanks trying to pretend they own IT.US BRITS OWN IT.!!
When I lost my younger brother Martin I played this song over and over again. Not because I took care of him but because he took care of me. You see there was a time when I was addicted to pain pills and I mean bad. I had no place to go because of my addiction and the withdrawals I would have. When I would withdrawal I'd go crazy so my wife asked me to leave. At the time this happened me and my brother weren't getting along. As a matter of fact I hadn't talked to him in about a year. I was living at the park and I went to his apartment to ask him for help. Without hesitation he took me in knowing my problem. During the time I was staying with him I had a heart attack. I was in the hospital for a week and during that time my brother had a heart attack and died. I'll never forget what he did for me. Everytime I hear this song it reminds me of how he took me in knowing the struggle I was going through.
He loved you ❤️🙏
Didnt speak but still loved you just the same and his door was open to you always. True family never turn away. Smile and remember good times everytime you hear this as he watching and looking over you
@@jamiebinnie8719 thank you for those kind words.

I am a British army veteran(75 yrs old) who saw service in Northern Ireland in 1969 at the age of 19yrs and 3 more tours of the province , a few of my brothers never made it back from NI.This was playing on the radio when I was there I will never forget it as long as i have breath in my body. Respect to all my brothers in arm in the USA ...I thank you all for your service .
Only those who have served can truly know the trials & horrors of war. I salute all veterans living & dead for their service & sacrifice.🇺🇸

@@tomcomiskey6350 well said Tom. Semper Fi
Back in 1918, a boy named Howard Loomis was abandoned by his mother at Father Flanagan’s Home for Boys, which had opened just a year earlier. Howard had polio and wore heavy leg braces. Walking was difficult for him, especially when he had to go up or down steps.
Soon, several of the Home’s older boys were carrying Howard up and down the stairs.
One day, Father Flanagan asked Reuben Granger, one of those older boys, if carrying Howard was hard.
Reuben replied, “He ain’t heavy, Father… he’s m’ brother.”
Now I don’t know if my version is correct but I believe the correct telling of the story is that there were two brothers going to a place called “Boys Town” and they had to walk. The youngest one got tired and physically couldn’t walk anymore, so he carried him all the way there. And when he arrived they asked him if he was heavy and he replied “He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.”
Nice story, heart breaking..Thank you from all Services.xx
Linda e triste ao mesmo tempo

This song brings back both both good times and bad. I have to agree that It is a tear jerker. This song was recorded and released in 1969 and to this day 😢it brings a tear to my eyes of so many memories. God Bless Our Troops and God Bless America. 🇺🇸
if you were in nam and iraq, you went a little over 30 right?
Wow no fooling I d love to hang with you landed in Canada carla ❤❤❤❤u gotta be ⭐⭐⭐and tired lol
Thank you for your service, Sir. God bless America. Many family members served.
Thank you❤ 69 I was 19
God bless you brother! After all you went through, just for you! With all my heart. ❤
A simple message: there's no such thing heavier than true BROTHERHOOD...
you will see it in the Army amd Marine Corp
11 of my team members got killed on our last mission together, just me and my spotter survived. We had to do a memorial for 11 empty coffins since their bodies were unretrievable. This song was sung in honor of them as the Funeral Eulogy song. My spotter shortly afterwards committed suicide due to Survivors Remorse and PTSD from the situation. It has been over 30 years ago when this happened, and I will never forget MY BROTHERS, and this song will always make me break down in tears. I will never forget that day, the mission, and still also deal with the associated PTSD. REST IN PIECE MY BROTHERS. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!
God bless all service men those here & not here I am forever grateful ❤️❤️❤️
Love you guys.
May our heroes be in Good Hands of God.❤
i did not serve, just missed vietnam, my brother served and survived, this song also makes me tear up for all the lost men and women and all that could have been. hang in there brother, in my heart none of you will be forgotten
Sending love 💙❤️💛💛💙💙♥️❤️❤️
Are you still going my brother?🙏
this is dedicated to all those that we lost in vietnam and every war since R.I.P. brothers in arms you are gone but not forgotten.
with you brother
I wonder if when my Grandfather’s came home from WWII if they had a song that’s a hard hitting as this one for all the men and women that were lost then? R.I.P. To ALL the men and women in every war that gave all. Gone but never forgotten.
There never gone they live on in our Hearts and our Memories❤😇🙏
Being a supporter of Veterans. I'm going to make a bet, without being pessimistic, that out of my several hundred friends, that less than 25 will take the time to put this on their wall. You just have to copy it from my wall and paste it to yours. Then type done on my wall. I've done this for a friend to spread Awareness of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. We lose 22 Veterans a day. More needs to be done to help Veterans in need.
SUPPORT YOUR VETS

Another beautiful song from the 1960s. Can you imagine a song like this being written today?
I dream of music like this.
I'm 27 years old and I only get to experience bad music. It's either about drugs, sex, or alcohol. No emotions in music anymore.
@@TennManYTBecause society has abandoned the God of their fathers, thus morality collapses aswell. Not saying you have to be a Christian, but secular society has it’s problems
Don't let that get in the Way of how you feel.becas nobody knows how you feel
@@TennManYT The old songs are there forever. Consider them buried treasures. All you have to do is dig them up.
Blowin In The Wind is another great Anti-War song from that period by Peter, Paul and Mary. ua-cam.com/video/1Hhi0i0UDS0/v-deo.html
Today songs are just speaking words w/o tunes
My brother passed away 12 years ago, that his favorite music ! Rest In Peace brother ☮️☮️☮️❤️❤️❤️😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I am so sorry for your loss....he certainly had good taste in music....RIP
So sorry for your loss!
Song was played at 2 of my younger brother's funeral. Rips my heart out every time I hear this song.
so sorry for your loss, i just lost my brother too
As a Vietnam veteran once said to me about a friend who was MIA.... as long as you remember him he's still alive. Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss
It's a pain you shall endure all through your life
It's a pain no one else can fathom
Stay blessed
To all war veterans around the world, thank you for making our world a safer place. Thanks is not even enough. It saddens me when I read how veterans are almost forgotten by their own country. You are my heroes 🤗🤗❤
Athletes don't respect veterans enough to stand during the National Anthem
@@beckyhahn3132 These athelets only care about what they want..my grandfather fought in WW2..he delt with it in his own way..he passed living a full life though..and he loved his family
@@beckyhahn3132 You're absolutely right. There's one right now who's currently getting a good lesson on why we love this country so much & why we respect our veterans, our flag, & our national anthem. This one that I'm talking about has been in the news here lately. I bet this person will respect our country from now on. That's what happens when you're stuck in a foreign country & you have no American rights. You appreciate how good you had it here & you appreciate the veterans, as they sacrificed so much to secure the freedoms & liberties that we enjoy today. I love & appreciate each & every one of them. God bless them all, always & forever!
My younger brother Mike died in my arms of massive heart attack…miss you Mike, this has always been for us❤️😢
So sorry for your loss prayers for you and your family 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😢😢😢😢😢
This was played when my older brother and I carried our little brother and put him the Hurst he passed away from Cancer I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH JIMMY.
a fine tribute to your brother jimmy.....shows great courage and love.....he will always live in your heart so he is only one heartbeat away..
The song is just filled with goodness. Wish more songs are like this.
AMEN
For sure sir
Sadly they don't make music like this anymore.
So are military veterans and active duty as we were all willing to die so you could live
And this song isn't just about war. It's about basic respect for our fellow human beings (which is at the core of disagreements/greed at any expense/war). Respect is sorely missing today. It's given way to social media insults and threats, narcissism, cell phones over human contact, lack of empathy for others. If people would just respect one another again, put down the phones and look at each other and see the humanity in their eyes. I believe this world could still heal and change for the better. (Play this song in schools, along with Teach Your Children Well.)
This song always bring tears to my eyes..my heart is breaking and crying..salute to all brave soldiers ..God bless all soldiers😘😘🙏❤😭😢
Amen
✌️🇺🇸 Yes...Amen
Nice 1 my friend
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
My dad served in Korean War and only one in his division that survived. My son is in the navy for 7 years now, I'm scared he may have to go to Iraq, I pray not...I'm so scared!!
I am a Vietnamese woman
I had heard this song more than half a century ago
I did not know the war cause I lived in Saigon
But this song is bringing tears to my eyes too

This is one of my Brothers in Arms songs. I am Ex-Army-Infantry-Grunt from Alice, NT, Australia. Although this is Dec 21, 2020, RIP my Brothers in Arms. But Man, it messes my mind, to see ungrateful Protesters. God Bless.
I was aboard the Tripoli LPH-10 as stretcher bearer during medevac. Made 3 deployments I'm 5'5' tall but i carried casualties to safety, even in my shoulder and bear arms- they ain't heavy they were brothers.
Amen Brother, I served as a Paratrooper Infantryman with the US Army 82nd Airborne Division, we are brothers, people who don't know will never understand the brotherhood and bonds that were created serving. You take care brother!!!
I am 78 2 tours in Vietnam 1 on a river boat, This song never gets old and no matter how long it's been it's never very far from me like the rest of us who has served there and any where else where where you are put in harms way.
I love this song . A Soldier never leaves a fellow Soldier behind.
I wish our country would honor our soldiers instead of making them beg for vain little help after coming home often miss limbs and suffering ptsd!!!
Yes
Our Society is fracturing…from ME to ✨💝✨We ~ Can we begIN to open up and hold Others in the same Importance (at least) as ourSelves! Service to others is needed! We must Break the Silence by learning from our Past! ✨💎✨ Time to Rise
Unless your a incompetent President like Biden.
A True Patriot would Never leave a Soldier behind enemy lines.. But apparently grandpa Joe has no problem doing just that !!!!
One of the best songs ever written. I try to sing along and cannot get through the first phrase without my voice cracking into a lump in my throat. The song punches you with two meanings at once, both connected. The literal road in the battle scene and the road that humanity's on. So good.
All of us who fought,who put our lives on the line, know how important this song is.it reaches down deep and confirms that commitment,Thank you Jesus,!
This song, this picture stir such feelings. My husband was in Vietnam and went back to carry a wounded soldier out. Then he got shot and someone came and carried him to safety. Feelings but no words.
They did these heroic deeds not for recognition but for love of Brothers.
Peggy, ❤️ 🙏✝️🌹
Goosebumps..
Your husband felt the man on his shoulders was more important than him. That's the song in one sentence. You already know this but he's an incredible hero Peace be with you and your husband
✌️🙏🙏💙💎👍👍😔😢😎🖖🤙
It has been 52 years since I came home, but it seems like just yesterday. This song just hits me hard and memories come streaming back. I would do it again. God Bless those souls we lost.
Hey Walter, my oldest served over there 70-71 in the highlands near the Qug Tree province (sorry if the spelling is off) with the 361 air assault. Thank God he came home to us. He is, has always been my rock. Thank you for your service and welcome home. I will call my rock tomorrow. Bty, the guy can still fit into his flight suit!! Peace....
Welcome home. I am so blessed to have so many fine men who got to come home counted as my friends.
Welcome, welcome.
God bless! Thank you for your service and sacrifice for us all.
Walter Williams I would like to thank you for your service and thank God for bringing you home. When I figured back 52 years to 1969 that was the same year my oldest brother came back also thank God. Sad to say though it was also same year my friends only brother came back in flag draped coffin, God rest his soul. Bless you.
Thank you for your service.
Every time I hear this songs it makes me well up and brings tears to my eyes. It is as life should be.
I love the songHe ain’t heavy he’s my brother from my father I was taught each man is your brother and each man is your friend although it’s hard to believe sometime
Each man is certainly your brother, Inetta. But sadly, ever since the days of Cain and Abel, a brother is not always a friend.
Kindness is a gift, Givethanks you have father thought you that Inetta, Keep it always and don't let anyone take it from you althougt it's hard to believe or impossible..
*I see you get your wisdom from your father, God Bless you and him. Be well*
Igavemylifetoomycountry
I’m a UK Veteran, and to all those who served irrespective of UK or USA Forces etc.. I think this Hollies iconic song relates to each of us.. Respect Brothers and Sisters. Forever RIP to our fallen comrades.. God Bless..
James Brown. I babysat and washed your stinky socks. Xxxxxxxx
Amen...
Hey, you forgot Canada! Peace bro'.
@@billfarley9167 Apologies my good friend, Canadian Forces too and Australian and other Western Forces of peace..
thank you for your service x
Back in the day, songs like this played on the radio every day. If only that were still true, because I know it makes a difference.
💞 Yes...So true. So many of our songs back then....Brought Love and compassion for one another. Together we must always keep the Love Flowing ...Forever. Love and Peace to all always💞✌️
I think it does too...👍🏾🤗💯
That's why I listen to the sound or magic

True. It was more
classic artists then.
I’m weeping all through the song for all those heroes that never made it, they were my brothers 😢😢😢😢
Heard this song so many times but never really got the meaning until I saw that picture. Now it all makes sense. So appreciative to those who fought and died for my freedoms. Thank you
Great beautiful" beautiful" song❤❤💋❤❤💋
gail miles 🇺🇸🎺😇🙏
@@christinajacob6871 Yes this photo gives this song a new meaning to the original meaning when it was written back in the 1930's, it's the slogan for Boys Town, a school for boys who were lost and neglect in society. The slogan is written on Christmas Seals under a rendering of boy carrying his little brother on his back to the school, it was a way to raise money as donations for the school buy selling the stamp seals. But this current photo has a more powerful meaning to the slogan since I've had friends who were killed and who were crippled physically and mentally in Vietnam.
Now we carry more, I'm strong for you, you are precious as all 🙂❤🇱🇷❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
what freedoms, they told you lies about they will take away your freedoms, people die for nothing.
Lost my brother Viet Nam, seems like yesterday, not a day goes by I miss him, semper fi, brother, till we meet again 💔
God Bless each vet and those currently serving. 💪🏻❤
Amber 😍
Thank you!
@judy. Even though I never served in the military, I'm with you wholeheartedly on your comment.
I was born in 1968, and my dad was serving in USA. He was 3° sergeant from brazilian navy. He saw many men coming back from Vietnam without legs, arms. He donate blood from many soldiers. When we asked him about war, he cried😢
Respect
Every single time I hear this song I burst into tears 😭. It reminds me of both of my older brothers. No matter how much I try to keep my composure I can't once the song starts. I have much love for The Hollies for composing this song.👍👍💖💖
Brothers
The Hollies didn’t write this though they did have a popular version of it. The song was written by Bobby Scott and Bob Russell and originally recorded by Kelly Gordon in 1969. The song became a worldwide hit for the Hollies later that year and Neil Diamond had a successful version in 1970. And now you know. It’s still a great song, no matter who wrote it.
Me too ....crying now....with love and pride for service people everywhere.....thank you just doesn't seem enough...I hope NONE of these treasures are suffering today , but I know they are :( xxx
@@sharong8511 I love the Hollies version the best !
Me, too, tears streaming my cheeks...my husband returned in a wheelchair from Vietnam, through the airport in Honolulu and he was spit upon...he died in 2009. He was a hero.
How could anyone possibly give This a thumbs-down? Tears flowin
Those are the ones that don't know music!!!!!I love this music just hearing this music brings back memories of my two brothers who I lost!!!!Just hearing the verse he's my brother!!!!Thumps up to all the slow jams from the 60s/80s sounds are better then what we are hearing now adays
Sadly Suzanne they are the ones whose brothers are too heavy. Their hearts aren’t filled with the gladness of love for one another. That is our world. Today.
Judith, that is one of the most beautiful comments I’ve ever read.
Happily, though, I can tell you that doesn’t have to be our reality.
Jesus, shortly before going to the cross, washed His disciples’ feet. “If I, the Lord and Teacher, washed your feet, you should also wash each others’ feet...if you do this, YOU WILL BE HAPPY.”
👍
But you were giving a prophetic warning to us, and a beautiful warning it is.
As Jesus said, “because lawlessness is increased in the last days, the love of most will grow cold. “
@@mybrotherkeeper1484 She was quoting lyrics from this song
This song is so beautiful and I’m sure every veteran of every war has a story to tell about his love for his brother
I’m also sure that they carry the scars of war of losses and of those who lost their lives carrying them to safety.
Whenever I think of my brother I play this song... so beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. I miss him terribly my eldest siblings...gone but never forgotten RIP your memory will live on 🙏💔🕊
This song reminds me of my baby brother gone way too soon 🥺💔
@trishhappel5095
Me too, lost my big brother while he was serving his country in the Royal Australian Navy 1969, he was 17 years old. I still miss him so much. Killed in service.
Love ya mate...till next we meet.
@@verticalhorizon1722 .. So sorry for your loss. Losing a sibling is hard 😭💔🙏
My younger bro and best friend gone 6 years ago due to brain cancer, not a day goes by that I don't miss him.
When my brother died, I dedicated this song to him. I miss him so much😑 RIP I love you so much💕
I feel the pain, my condolences 😢
Me and my brother were in the Army,I would have carried him till I Died . This song always brings me to crying
Brothertwoabrothetfamily
Be strong my brother ❤️. much love to you.
Was a great time huh Loved this band! Navy
I actually heard this song was about a little girl carrying her injured brother Vietnam correct me if I'm wrong
Good song but
To every brother or sister that served or are currently serving. Cant imagine being in a war. Thank you for your service. Love you all.
This song has been playing over and over in my head this morning. Funny how many people have forgotten how connected we all are. Your fellow human being is not taking anything from you ... he's part of you. This is a sharing ... this is how love works.
If this song has been playing over and over in your head it might be Jesus knocking on the door of your heart. This song is inspired and it speaks to Jesus heart of unconditional love and mercy in the world. I was let down by spiritual leaders who preached judgment instead of Mercy. I realized recently that Jesus will use anything to call his lost sheep home. In my case he used music, my poetry, and people in my life to speak to my heart. I found a better Church where the heart of mercy (Jesus heart) seems to have a home. I love this song because the only burden Jesus EVER places on us is that we bear each others burdens. The secret that a lot of people don't realize, even Christians, is that Jesus himself carries the burdens we take on so that we can honestly say: "He aint heavy, hes my brother" and we can also praise Jesus because his yoke is kindly(its mercy) and his load is light(its unconditional Love)
@@Graydoveflyhome Thank you for your comment here. While I don't share your beliefs, I do understand the sentiment offered and I appreciate it.
I'm 74 years old and I miss my brothers in arms so much it hurts
…feel you brother…
same here buddy
My brother wrote me 30 page letters from Viet Nam. I was in high school and wanted to enlist until they told me I would not be able to help. He came home and I was happy. He had a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. Eventually told me what happened and also dismissed it all as just "accidental" awards.
i'm 71 and know what it's like just wish we could be together again
Stay with us. Love you for all you done.
I associate this song with my brother, he died two months ago and he loved that song. Continue success in your career. Best wishes rita hickey, ireland.
I feel you, Rita. My brother also loves this song and so do I. He attached the lyrics on the wall over his desk because it makes him think of me, as he told me. But he has been seriously ill for two years now and doesn't want to keep in touch with me anymore. It hurts.
My wife died in car crush last month. She was my love, my best friend, my everything. So, I listening this song at last time every day...RIP Charlotte 💙🏴
Every time I hear this song it reminds me of my friends I lost in Vietnam on hamburger hill in May of 1969. RIP my friends I love you guys
Served six years in the Army and this song has always brought tears to my eyes.
When I hear this song I think about the soldiers that lost their lives during Vietnam, they were some very brave men, I can't even imagine what they saw over there in the nightmares they continue to have
God Bless you Martha your right about them being Brave Two of them were my Brothers they both did Two tours each in Nam God was Good and brought them both home but your right about the nightmares🙏🙏
Vietnam was a bad est to get rid of the young.
@@vincentmasciopinto6726 so true
in war, no one ever leaves a brother behind. how fitting this song is for the scene. beautiful lyrics. TY. UKRAINE PEACE!
It took another war to hear this song again.
My family is in Ukrane.. MAY God Bless.. Please Pray!!!
I also think about all the other people in war in every places... so sorry - and hoping for peace all over the world. Best to you (excuse my school-english)
To all those who serve in the military to protect us each and every day. Thank you! My Dad served in the Korean war, he came home but told us how hard it was on him. You all make the ultimate sacrifice! 🙏
thanks Karen my dad ww 2 Normandy he made it home.
As a Vietnam vet I am also brought to tears hearing this song. The thoughts of places and names with faces long gone but never forgotten make me sad and yet in a strange way I am thankful to have known and been a brother to real american and vietnamese men of bravery. I remember a saying "To the fighting man, freedom is something the protected will never know". To all my brothers in arms I hope and pray we all choose heaven as our final formation!
Amen Jesus our Lord our savior and healer, thank you brother for your service🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@olgasolano3490 Thank you for your kind regards.
So many cone before us given their lives for us brothers and sisters and friends and fathers now we are here at war fighting for our rights to live in peace.
Hey Rogelio, I do not know where you live, but I want you to know that the government of the USA today in no way represents the heart and soul of the majority of the people of the USA believe me when i tell you the wars and hardships many countries and their citizens endure as a result of policies endorsed and initiated by the government of the USA are not the will of the people here, but they are the will and desire of the Federal reserve banking elite and their corporate masters and banking accomplices who are driven by false and deceptive beliefs which if continue unrestricted will eventually lead to WW3 and a nuclear holocaust which no one will laud or commemorate because those that survive such a war will eventually envy the dead as their survival becomes a damnable living death!@@rogeliosolognier8862
My brother and I were both Marines. I looked after him until his end and would do so again....Semper Fi!
Semper Fidelis brother
If u cannot appreciate music of this caliber, nothing will, this is pure gold,
this is music I grew up with
I am not a war hero. But I Love my brothers. Respect to those who protected us.
I was recently asked to meditate in Galations 6:2 which speaks of Jesus command to love others as we love ourselves and to bear one another's burdens. The holy spirit brought this song to my memory. This song is so fitting and true. As we walk along this journey of life we have to help one another who may be in need of any kind and not expect anything in return if it's done from the 💙.
This is one of those anthems for all mankind especially the Johns, Jacks, Dales and Harrys of this world who went the second mile and died valiantly for their country in places like Vietnam, Iraq, Ceylon, Afghanistan and so many other parts of this world.
Salute armour of god warriors. Never to be forgotten. Ever r I p
For me, the greatest honor in my life is having served with the Greatest fighting force ever.
"For their government and oil industry" you mean.
Ws
War is not a pretty picture at all
Very meaningful song. I shared it with my brother when he was facing a crisis in his life. Told him he wasn't alone and I will always be there for him.
You have understood the real meaning of this song. Thank you for your excellent comment.
@@sunryse111 Thank you. He was indeed very touched at that moment. Glad that he managed to turn his life around and doing fine now.
I Renember my late husband , who was a vietnam veteran, when i hear this. May each one who has served past and present be blessed.
Every time I hear this song I think of my 58,000 brothers left behind in Viet Nam. Fifty years later I put flags on their graves and wish it wasn't so. Semper Fi!
God bless you ❤🙏🇱🇷
Amen My best friend made it home from Nam USMC he is doing good today an old vet and happy
God, the Vietnam war was SO awful !
As a child I lived in Berkshire and remember the Ban The Bomb campaign and seeing the Aldermaston Marchers !
Semper Fi to all my Brothers and Sisters.
I've always loved The Hollies and their beautiful harmonies.
"He ain't heavy he's my brother..."
This song, its words have not left me since... forever.. I feel it in my bones.. the urge, the momentum.. it symbolizes humanity and brotherhood so truely and sincerely that every time I hear this song.. my heart breaks.. I wish everyone a pleasant, caring and happy life
All souls are brothers they just take the body of a female or a male sending gods beauty of life and love to you and everyone you know and all of creation love from uk.
My brother is named after a man that none of us have ever met. My father named my brother after a fellow Marine friend of his who lost his life in Vietnam. He fought beside my father and we are grateful for their service.
The most beautiful lyrics with a message for the entire world. It always brings a lump to my throat.
To our Vietnam Veterans here: Welcome Home!!! Much love and respect to each & every one of you. My heart swells with pride to have been the daughter of a Green Beret & my father & all his brothers mean so very much to me!!!❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️
Very Touching song that makes though guys cry out, if you have feelings for your brother(s)
My lil brother had HIV, before I could take him to an Aids protest, he passed.LOVE U HECTOR.
At this very moment of time between ukraine and russia conflict; this song soothes our hearts and mind.... God bless these two countries and make peace to everyone.....let's pray for them they are our brothers and sisters..
I'm Russian, my youngest brother chooses to be Ukrainen , civil war torn family apart. That's why this song makes me cry.
Why did Russia do this?
