After almost 50 years this song still "has it all".
I've heard this my whole life but could never make out 75% of the lyrics til now lol.
MrAitraining same
Same here. This song came out when I was in high school. Still love it. Never knew most of the lyrics until today.
MrAitraining me too
7:38 THIS is my favorite song of the Hollies, followed by 'The Air That I Breathe'.
As for the "war movie" vibe, this particular song sounds a lot like Creedence Clearwater Revival, whose songs are often used in Vietnam war movies.
Was thinking the same thing. For the longest time, I thought CCR were the ones who made this, then found out who it actually was later.
...so basically any classic southern rock song will give him a war movie vibe
yes they did sound much like CCR
@@ricxcarr655 It does sound like a song that could easily be in a war movie soundtrack with the helicopters flying over vietnam
It's an image sound from film noir. Are you obtuse?
He aint heavy hes my brother. You gotta listen. Period.
Beautiful the hollies were great..I remember hearing bus stop when I was a teen.it was played on the radio a lot.
This song always reminds me of going to the skating rink on the weekends as a kid because they always played it!!
I get you perfectly. You’re feeling every part of the song and no one can tell you how a song makes you feel. The lyrics can absolutely make you envision one thing while the beat another...it’s a personal journey, that’s the joy of music. Keep ‘em coming and stay safe💜🙏💜🤘🏿💜
Great tune by The Hollies. A favorite of mine. One of the most iconic opening guitar riffs ever.
My parents listened to The Hollies alot. Now I listen to them alot. I love their music. It's so hard to share my favourite Hollies song. "Air that I breathe" comes to mind. Beautiful song.
I was never really a lyrics man lol, but the voice and instrumentals... that spoke volumes to me even if I never actually understood the lyrics. I always preferred my own personal interpretation anyway ;) Right on Ty!
I'm not seeing a "war movie" with this tune... I'm seeing more of a 30's Gangster flick!
Yes...indeedie!
@@davidhoward2487 I can see actually both. The lyrics are about prohibition, gangsters and speakeasies but musically it has that 60s-70s feel you could see on the soundtrack of any Vietnam war-film. It's the best of both worlds. It shows the song as a song that can always withstand the test of time.
Remember the Titans
Nah you know this would be sick in a Vietnam don’t lie
Lyrics definitely 30s film noir. Music 60s groove is what I hear. Interesting combination.
This is a special song between me and my son that passed away.
Jay Layland my condolences, May he Rest In Peace. You must’ve had a beautiful relationship with him if you shared music together. Stay safe 💜🙏💜
I am so sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss.
Thank you all. Seem like music holds such strong memories. You hear a song and you are transported back to a time and place like you are actually there.
Jay Layland so true, only music has that power, it’s a time machine. Stay safe and healthy. 💜
I listened to this song and one other one all the way from New Jersey to Frankfurt, Germany back in 1972 when I was going to my ship while in the Navy.
Thank you Sir for your service so that folks like me and mine can live free. SALUTE
Thank you for serving.
Absolutely LOVE the tone of the guitar!!!
I had just gotten my driver's license when this song became popular. My brother had a '68 Mustang that had speakers inside the front doors. I would crank this song as I was flying down the highway. Great review, MRM.... totally understood what you were saying about the song and how it made you feel. Take care and be well. Peace.
One of my favourite bands very underrated.Alan Clarke great voice
Even as a child, when this song was popular, I could appreciate that awesome guitar intro and that cool bass. I had no idea what the song was about...but that didn't matter. This is my favorite by them, but I also love "Bus Stop" and "The Air that I Breathe."
I do understand . This song reminds of Creedance clear water revival who did fortunate son a Vietnam protest song . I could here this in a Vietnam war movie.
Wow, after 50 years of listening to this and I finally got to see what the words were. Also, I understand what you mean. It does sound like it could be part of a Vietnam movie.
This has been my favorite song since 1972. We had moved from California to Arizona. We had just driven in to Williams AFB in Az. and The Hollies were playing that night in the NCO club. I was crashed in the back seat of the car while my dad, mom, and big brother and sister went into the club (things were safer then). I was so mad when I found out they had seen The Hollies. I was only 7 at the time. I took me a while to get over it. Great video !
That base line is ridiculously on point man!!!!!!
One of those women in a black dress near the end is Diana Krall a Jazz singer and musician who is also Married to Elvis Costello .Krall and British musician Elvis Costello were married on December 6, 2003, at Elton John's estate outside London. Their twin sons, Dexter Henry Lorcan and Frank Harlan James, were born December 6, 2006, in New York City.
Thanks for playing this song. I remember when it came out back in the day, loved it then and love it now. Brings back a lot of memories.
Glad you enjoy it!
Just subscribed. Please do “Bus Stop” by the Hollies.
Great choice to react to! When I was younger I always thought this was a CCR song lol. Love the intro to this song!
One of my most favorite 70s songs. The guitar work is iconic. I get that 30s vibe from this song too. Like Prohibition era
Even though it has an almost totally different sound from them years before, I also liked "Bus Stop" by the Hollies.
My favorite song by the Hollies is Bus Stop
Check out "The air that I breath", same band.
Lake Racer, he just did that one a few days ago.
I love The Hollies! I actually have this album!
Great choice brother!!
I just listened to this song the other day. This song always reminds me of a friend of mine's parents. They played this song all the time, in fact the first time I heard it was at their house. Reading the lyrics to this song I realized I didn't know many of them, I have been mumbling to this song for years and years and not getting very many correct. By the way, not that anyone cares, the woman at the beginning and end of the video is the actress Charlotte Rampling. My favorite Hollies song is He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother, followed by Bus Stop.
I know what you mean. This is the type of music you would hear during a Vietnam war movie.
To the commenters who dispute MRM's "vibe" he gets.......Wikipedia is your friend.
This song (performed by Charlie Sexton) was used in the movie "Air America".
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_America_(film)
"The plot of the film is adapted from Christopher Robbins' 1979 non-fiction book, chronicling the CIA-financed airline to transport weapons and supplies in Cambodia, Laos and South Vietnam during the Vietnam War."
--------------
Here is Sexton's version of the song that was in the movie:

Just sayin'.
A brilliant song. Allan Clarke, the original lead singer to The Hollies, who wrote this song with Roger Cook, has recently written and released a follow up to Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress - Long Cool Woman's Back In Town. Check it out.
Another GREAT song to roller skate to. It was the most requested song at the skating rink when I was a kid.
Loved this song when released brings back great memories... I detected a bit of TRex sound in the guitar opening.. Holies wonderful songs...The air that I breathe just brilliant... Thanks for the suggestion ...cool.
The Hollies-Carrie Anne is the song my dad named me from. My mother changed the spelling to Kari Anne. I was born in 1971.
i also named my daughter carolyn because of their song.
my songs i go to when i had few drinks.. 70s and 80s.. best music by far..
I been trying to get this one reacted to for a year. Great Great classic rock song. As good as it gets!
You should react to the hollies he ain't heavy hes my brother
Great Song
@@donnaregister6141 ........Your right, forgot about that one😉
Me too.... 70s were the best
Try also All I Need is The Air That I Breathe.
This song is in Remember The Titans during the football montage of when the team started winning
Great track, with the usual strong vocals from Alan Clarke. A story of a good man gone bad because of a woman (we always get the blame!😄) This always got us on our feet way back when. It was released during the Vietnam war and I think it was featured in Good morning Vietnam. I get it Ty! And in case you haven’t seen the memo from the others. He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother. You’re reactions are so forthright and honest - love it!🥂
I went to see the Hollies at Sheffield city hall in 1964 when Graham Nash of Crosby stills and Nash was singing with them.
An old fave. Thanks. Love it when the bass kicks in.
I was in high school when this came out. Love their song "Long Dark Road".
Arguably the greatest guitar intro ever
This is one of my favorite jams!!! I get what you're saying about vibes. It's got the same feel as Bad Moon Rising and Fortunate Son by CCR. You almost hear the helicopter. Another great reaction! Keep up the good work!💜
What a great way to start the morning !! Gooood morning Ty 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️
Good morning!
A perfect song in every way. Pure visualization.
Lmao!!!! You're killing me and that's my job. Just haven't found the right oaktree yet!
My favorite song by The Hollies is "I'm Alive". I think it was their first high chart entry.
You are absolutely right on the money, I can not believe your level of understanding!
Reminds me of The Steel Pier show in Atlantic City with Ed Hurst. Good times and great memories!
THIS SONG IS IN THE MOVIE “REMEMBER THE TITANS”
My favorite Hollies song. This song was actually their highest ranking one on Billboard. #2
I got what you mean, Ty, and I I agree! Oh and I subscribed a loooooonnnnnnggggg time ago. First time commenting. Love your thoughts on music. Sometimes gives me a different and even better way to look at a song! So thanks, Brian D Cook Benson NC
Awesome! Thank you!
In1971,I used to play this song on the Juke while bussing tables after the restaurant closed up. It was great/ hot!
I love dancing to this song.
One of my very favorite songs of all time!!
This song. Always reminds me of my Dad. (RIP). When I was a little kid my Dad owned two (beer joints). In the country that's what we call drinking establishments in a rural country setting. Lol. This song was on the juke box and was played all the time and the sound of the song sounds like their singing in a beer joint setting. Kinda an echo sound. I've been hearing this one since prob first grade. But now it reminds me of my dad and makes me smile. Thanks.
The Hollies have so many good songs.
Graham Nash was one of the few that was in two great groups at the same time, the Hollies, and Crosby, Stills, and Nash.
The woman at the beginning and at the end is actress Charlotte Rampling. She was in the last season of Dexter.
I DIG-IT Brother......You did just AWESOME!!!!... NO WORRIES! :-)
Love this song....Thanks for sharing
I will alway stop,listen, and sing along when I hear this song! 😎✌️
Graham William Nash, later of Crosby, Stills and Nash, was a member of The Hollies
I don't see a war theme here but more of a gangster theme. This is my favorite song by the Hollies!
I have been in love with this song for about thirty years. It is nice to know what the hell they are singing about, finally...
The Hollies were a great band, and had a lot of hits. More than most people remember till You start looking at a list of their hits.
A very fun song to play on drums for me. The first I perfected. I agree on your inerpitation on the music and melody. I honestly never thought of it that way but once I thought about what you were saying I have to agree.
I subscribed several weeks ago and I enjoy you're reaction and comment on the different songs. I LOVED the reaction you did the other day of the gospel song by the Gaither Vocal Band. I've followed them for years and have seen them in concert several times. Bill and his wife Gloria Gaither are famous gospel songwriter. They have written He touched Me, The King is Coming and a whole LOT of others. Google them because most of the songs they have written I'm sure you've heard.
Fun fact. Lead singer Allan Clarke had left the Hollies when this track was released. The record company had a single to release to fulfill contract`s with the group and they agreed as they didn`t think it would be a hit. When it was, they had to convince Allan to come back.
Yep. It has that Vietnam feel. Believe the song came out around that era. This is a cool song. One of the only songs Hollies did without back ground vocal. They are known for their harmony.
This is one of my favorrites. I was 5'; 9 back then and a dj on a pirate ship.
This has always been one of my fave songs, however like the person that requested it, we never had the words, it was years before I think people got the words down. Heck I still miss some of them. Thanks for listening.
That song was during the time of the Vietnam War.
a short listen, Smith "Baby It's You" (1969)
My fave song by The Hollies is “The Air That I Breathe”. I watched your video on that one too!,
"Bus Stop " is a great song by the Hollies!
Our skating rink played this song every weekend. When they played it, the rink filled up with skaters who were sitting on the sidelines, waiting on a good song. The owner of our skating rink was a wonderful man, and everyone loved him and his sidekick. It was a sad day when they shut the doors for good.
I finally subscribed. I have been following your videos for a few months and really appreciate your take and point of view on music your not necessarily familiar with. I totally get your insight and critiques. Keep it going !
Welcome aboard!
It was great background music for a football game collage in "Remember The Titans".. I get the vibe ..
This song always makes me want to watch Remember The Titans.💜
The Hollies are so under rated.
Mine is He Aint Heavy and Bus Stop. You already did my favorite the other week :)
Hi dude i recently contacted Hollies management! they replied! hopefully getting 2 of the original members autographs in the near future! hope you are well during this blasted virus.
This song reminds me of my older sister 😁 this song would be blaring from her bedroom all the time.Fell in love with it I was around 8 or 9. Wonderful memories 😀👍
I hear you. There are songs I've listened to and liked for years and only one day heard the lyrics.
I love the instrumentals of this song, and can see it in a movie like “Good Morning, Vietnam”, “Apocalypse Now”, or “US Air”.
Hollies have so much fantastic music.
What a great song the instrumentality.
Allen Clarke who was the lead singer said it took him about an hour to write this song.
When you stumbled at the beginning I thought..that would be a cool follow up song for the Hollies..."Long Black Woman in a Cool Dress". Got my attention! wah wah wah... lol I was 15 in '72 when this hit the top of the charts. One of those iconic songs of the teen years. My favorite song by the Holy's? This one. No complaints dude.
The song was released in 1972 and was the 24th most popular song that year, it peaked at 2 on the billboard top 100. The fall of Saigon was not until 1975 . So you are totally right the vibe of the song IS the vibe of Vietnam era. I don,t think it was used in in its a war movie but would definitely fit.
This song goes to full volume if it comes on when I’m driving.
You're are correct the music has been used in Vietnam movies , infact the comments you made that was exactly the movie it was in.
This is my favorite Hollies song. It has been one of my favorite songs for decades. Thanks for covering it. The only thing I do not Ike about the Hollies is their name. I’ve always thought it sounds too frilly or childish for the music they played. Try “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother”. Probably my second favorite Hollies song.
It does sound and feel like a Vietnam War era melody! You're so imaginative Ty!
I get what you're saying with the era & vibe of the song and there are several that were around while war was happening. there's barely any recent war movies that have been made that doesn't have CCR in there somewhere.
Your vids are great. Don't sweat the small stuff, lol! Keep it up
