I'm sitting here sipping on Bourbon looking at the window 75° feeling the breeze I can see my son's face my only son I lost the heroin I failed as a father I'm not looking for no pity party I'm just looking at his face in the clouds but I can't hear his voice this song in this man is a blessing to my life my son was like a brother more than a son and being a lone wolf no hand to hold on to just the bulldog Maybelline and Al Green my man
You didn't fail. Were Heroin legal and over the counter as it was in the 1800s your son might very well be alive, as would at least two people I knew; no one questions why the government suddenly decided the regulation of people's moods, and other mental states was fair domain for tyranny and causing more problems than the drugs themselves typically, nor does anyone question why despair is so prevalent; it all goes way past the dinner-table. And in the 1920s that same darling government also decided you couldn't have your Bourbon either.
@@jasonlynn1017 thank you Jason you stay safe man he was 29 years old I wasn't no angel at 29 years old I grew up right all kinds of drugs I'm 52 years old now and all my family that party back in the seventies and '80s are dead before they hit 60 it's a trip man but thank you brother you stay safe and stay strong
@@damonpitt2528 I'm 59 and can't tell you how I made it this far, but I can tell you I almost didn't because of theme of another song by Al I just saw on the Midnight Special, 1974: " I'm Tired Of Being Alone," which I'm now writing a poem about as it's the greatest truth ever told. Remember that many people use drugs not for pleasure, but to kill the pain and despair of being tired of being alone; and they use drugs including H to exit this world because of this epidemic of loneliness & sadness, versus aloofness, & even viciousness, so they choose to leave as nothing is on the horizon. This whole world has to get well, which is another thing than just not being sick. But the world is sick. Really sick. Al Green's song is truer today in 2022 than in 1974, and everyone needs to do something about it. I'm sorry about your son. Your grief must be beyond comprehension. But you feel it. Therefore you did not cave into the plastic- numb advertised life which so many people now have, which of course worsens everything. So you are a hero of emotionality. It takes guts to feel. It takes guts not to hide feeling. DON'T ever believe anyone saying that it's easy or trivial, as it is one of the last things proving humanity left.
I turned sixty on November 16th, My youngest son of two turned 26 on the 14th. I used to talk to him everyday three four times a day, He made me upset on thanksgiving day. I have not talked to him since. Maybe I'll call him after reading this. God bless you and praying for you. I would lose my mind if I lost my baby. It 's been a week yesterday since I talked to him.
🍀To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. may peace and calmness fill your life. 🍀
My mom played the whole album every sat for years on end along with each issue of all albums....I miss her cooking so much as I miss her kind soul...she raised five brats and she loved all of us despite our foolishness...and fails...
Good and happy memories are for ever. Our mothers are special Angels sent from God to take care of us. Even though there are gone they will always be in our hearts. God bless you.
This is the Greatest song Ever!!!! ONLY JESUS can Mend a Broken Heart. Emotional Scars, Mental Scars. he's able to rejuvenate the Soul and Mind with a Prayer .
@@mick6721 Are you talking to me about Al Green belief??if you are let me lay this on you. When a man has been scorned by a unfaithful woman/man him or her life is upside down. in order to mend the Scared and Mental Tortured of the mind it will take God to refresh and restore Peace in him only he can do it. the moral of the song is God "Only" can mend men , women mind and heart,soul. Amen and God bless you Mick
So true, my brothers! I've been there and lived that and so much more. Thank God for the Holy Ghost! This song, too, has been my prayer to God during some of those depressing times.
My uncle Jack sang the shit out of this song 30 years ago. He had a brain aneurysm surgery that left him with the mentality of a two year old, but he could still sing Al Green songs. RIP Jake. That's what I called him.
Thank you for sharing Misty. In the midst of tragedy there was still some beauty and this proves that the arts, especially music can transcend human suffering and powerfully ignite the soul, the mind and uplift the spirit. May God bless youand comfort you continually. Cherish the sweetest memories of your Uncle Jack. ❤️
Wasn't until I read these comments - I forget how much pain we all carry - my heart jst breaks reading everybody tears - took my focus off my own. God, I love u All, so sorry there's so much pain in the world but I'm praying for you all and that the Holy Spirit comforts us All! God bless, and know somebody out here praying for you! ❤
I just lost one of my closests friends and her newborn boy three days ago , and somehow this song showed up on some random reels , i feel like this is a sign. a sign to hang on ❤️❤️🩹
Lost my mom 3 years ago, my heart hurts I'm only 24, she took care of 4 kids growing up the ghetto she's died at 42, most precious soul. Rest in peace Nancy I miss you mama
@@uposmile1058 when someone you love dies is not the same especially if that someone is 4 months , in my eighty's now and still remember and feel the pain but I have learned to deal with it , that is life isn't it ? God bless and stay safe .
Probably ridiculous but I'm 69 and lost my home . I had a dog and had to surrender her . Oh dear GOD watch over her . I can't stop thinking about her .
@@Pltn-yt7qpfuck ALLLLL the way off. Sometimes you just marry a weird creep and think that you can do everything for them, and be perfect for them and think that you can love them enough for both people and you just can't. It's a shitty thing to face, but it's the truth
July 2024 and Al Green still matters to me. Today I'm feeling brokenhearted, I'm feeling injured and alone, not lonely just alone. Lord fix me for today I need your protection and guidance. Help me mend, in Jesus name. Amen
Never give up the end. Some of the people were meant 2 fight YOUR STRONGER THANU THNK BABY GROW DONT LET GO OF ALL U HAVE DONT LET ANY1 PERSON TAKE THAT!!!!!! YOUR YOU AND IM SORRY NOT SORRY BECAUSE YOUR A SUPPOSED TO!!!!🎉🎉❤
This was the song my dad requested his hospice nurse to play. Lost him July 16, 2023. Today July 12, 2024 still listening in his remembrance. Lost him to lung cancer. He lost his wife 3 years prior from a hit and run, they left her in a puddle like a dead dog. He was never the same. Now they both lay in peace. I LOVE RICHARD (MY DAD) AND AMADA (MY STEPMOM)😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I remember the nights my dad cried for my mother to come home, cried about my brother passing. I miss him, I didn't mature fast enough to tell him the world he taught me, the heart he gave me or how much I loved him and thank him cus I had a father, a daddy the 1 real man I ever had in my life. Or That I understood our life and i thank GOD i had him. That time has passed. I come here to see his face or see his laugh and sometimes to remember a story.
As a child I didn't understand why the grown folks would cry while listening to this song but as a 54 yr old man I totally understand and cry a lil bit too
Whatever you're going through, remember YOU GOT THIS and sometimes things end because God saw and heard things that you didn't! He protects us from all the unknown. Grieve whatever loss, then dust yourself off, Friend and Live your Best Life.... Heavenly Father, You know what Your child is going through, Mend every part that's hurting, carry Your child as long as needed and give strength to Your child .... In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@austinrich117 you're most definitely welcome but it's all God.... Be sure to thank Him, as well!!!! Now, go hit that 21 on em in Vegas and take all the money 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑😁🤗😊😃 and Ball Out!!!!
My dad loved playing this song and now am listening the words and it's very meaningful my heart is broken 💔 I miss my dad so much😢 may his soul rest in peace
Oh bless you I lost my dad on the 18th May, I feel your pain my heart is broken too he brought us up to all these songs which I am so thankful for because they don’t make them like this anymore x
I miss my dad. He only listened to Motown, blues and duwop... except Bod Dyan- he loved real folk (music and people). Anyone who had a great dad and lost him suffered great loss.
Sitting here in what WAS my Wife and I 's Bedroom. She passed away late last night, after 50 + years ( she would have been 62 next weekend) fighting her health issues. She succumbed to a heart attack. It was quick and painless. Leaving me this broken heartened, man.
People felt things more strongly, or articulated those feelings better back then. Green is almost 80 and this song still resonates as much as the day he recorded it.
I lost my best friend three days ago and her newborn boy as well. she put up with such a hard life, my family and i accepted her into ours, we gave her her 18th birthday , she is my soulsister. and he is my godson. we were one❤️ her birthday was on the 13th of May, 3 days later she passed due to an asthma attack at the age of 22 and so did her babyboy. we had him on life support but unfortunately there wasnt brain activity. I feel as though a part of me left with her. Life does not feel real whatsoever. But I know we will meet again one day. I am trying my damnest to hang on for my loved ones and them! I saw many other people's stories and goodness. God bless everybody that is here going through it. We need to hold on to the light. God got us. 🤞
@@aqua10133 Absolutely God has us. Listen sweetheart, I understand exactly how you feel In May I lost my best friend as well. I still sit, and think about Life and the Lessons. I thought Me and My Best Friend would grow old, old, together. But, God gave us 35 years to be the best friends we could be to each other. Your Friend, her baby, and my friend are with God Almighty now. The Bible tells us to be absent from this body is to be present with God Almighty. All we can do is move on, and ask God to give us a supernatural strength to keep pressing on. Remember, not just any strength but his SUPERNATURAL strength. We all have different paths in Life, and as you continue your path, I ask that God be right there with you every step you take. ❤️ God Bless You! 🙏
I was born in 88, if you don't listen to this more then likely you a wild person with lil wisdom, if you do listen then you are a blessed person with a grip on life . Life is good even on our worst days count out blessings everyday and we will be happy.
Yo, heard this song on the TV show Atlanta, and it struck my heart strings, and had to find the song, and its literally a day after your comment, and I'm a grown man and cried so hard just now hearing this song, and my only suffering is probably being lonely.....read the comments section and there are ppl here with a lot worse, so cheer up, take action and we will mend our broken hearts, love from Australia
@@vincentross7469 I know how you feel. When I was very young, I was molested by a famiy member. Because I fought off his advances when I got old enough to, he told everyone in the small town where we lived that I was promiscuious. Years later, the boy I loved found me on fb, and wanted to date and eventually marry me. When he asked me about the rumors, and I told him the truth, he chose to believe what he heard. My heart is breaking, and I cry every day over him...I love him still, but I refuse to spend my life with someone who chooses to believe a 40 year old rumor. I know God has the right one for me...but it hurts. I still love him.
Same. I've only now discovered who sang this, and reading the comments I also discovered it is a Bee Gee's song. Worth running rare battery power flat listening to. 🔊😀💗
When I heard this version from the movie The Book of Eli, I searched for it. Al Green did such a soulful rendition. The Bee Gees original is beautiful, but Al Green raised it several notches more. Absolutely powerful and heart rending at the same. time
@@DouglasLippi…you are correct. Being a song historian, I know that Al sang this to bring his world together as it was falling, and this was a turning point for him in his life. However, The Bee Gees had broken up and Barry was so distraught about it, he wrote this song except for the bridge, called Robin and Maurice, and Robin came over, helped him finish the song but the couldn’t get the words at the end, and when they played it for Maurice, he said he would be right over, and together, they finished the song, and a major bro hug, tears, and a promise to listen to each other more. This was a major Number One Hit for them, as people like myself were so happy they were back together again. The song was offered to Andy William, by the way, who turned it down, as the Brothers made it so popular, that he didn’t want the song. However, a good 50 plus different renditions were made in the first 25 years after the song as they also wrote at the same time, “Lonely Days”, and they had hits back to back, reaffirming their genius for songwriting, when this was released. Everyone famous wanted the song, as it is so heart rendering. However, it was originally meant for the brothers, but became popular for other reasons. Rev Al places a fabulous spin on it. I just love it. But it was not written for him. Good call. A great song indeed.😎👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻♥️✌🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️✌🏼♥️⭐️♥️
In 2020, unexpectedly my fiancée ended our 5 year relationship totally out of the blue. I was absolutely devastated. I honestly thought that things would never ever get better for me. I happened to find this song & it absolutely made me break down 😢 like I listened to it over & over & just cried. It’s just amazing. Now, 3 years later, I have moved on in a good way, but when I hear it now, it reminds me of that time back in 2020. To anyone who is experiencing a traumatic event, never ever forget that thing’s will & do get better, even if you can’t see that at the moment. Fantastic song & Al green, what a beautiful song & voice ❤
She found a guy a few inches taller, or had slightly more status then you. I don't even need to meet or know her to know this. Don't ever waste your time, mind, or heart falling for any America wahm3n, they are strictly sex only. Horrible narcissistic social media obsessed losers are 99% of them here
@@marvelkingdom1972There’s lots of better singers, doesn’t take away from anything said here. Green still touches my heart, despite not being in even my top 30. Just shows how much talent existed at one time.
I was just diagnosed with ASD and ADHD at 20 I was born with a rare genetic mutation causing eye issues music saves my soul ESPECIALLY the great al green one my favorite cover of my favorite songs… so classic
Might be random, but might as well… trip out with me for a second, I lost my dad when I was 5,… had a son real young, fucked up and she left me…. For 5 years I had to live with the fact that I would never have my lady and my son in my life… when my son was 5 years old they both came back into my life, and I got a second chance!!!!! Always looked at it like I picked up where my own dad left off… thanks for listening
From Al Green 's majestic voice to the late Al Jackson's timeless timekeeping on drums this is one of the greatest soul slow jams in music history. They DON'T make music like this anymore.
FUN FACT: I just saw a video about the Radiohead song "Nude" which discussed how the band sat on that song for a decade as they were trying to capture a vibe similar to this Al Green classic and didn't want to release it unfinished. The final song sounds very different to Green's but the influence can be heard and it's a wonderfully haunting song in it's own right. If you're looking for more modern music with a similar soulful edge then I'd suggest giving it a spin.
most soul-crushing experience ever. broken heart kills any single good thing in you. can't see life as it was before. everything is gray and darkness is all around you, when your heart is broken. not even hopes and dreams left. no physical pain ever come close to this. help me mend my broken heart and let me live again :)
I remember my mom playing Al Green every weekend while we cleaned the house and she cooked. It was so satisfying and special to me and I loved hearing it because it gave us a sense of peace. I love his music to this day!!❤
I had to leave my entire family to much trauma, toxicity, addiction, hate, no love ....for the sake of my soul to mend my broken heart...but i think of them everyday my mother and aunties would get drunk and play this my heart still hurts for them to be set free..ive made it out threw lord Jesus Christ i wish and pray they receive the same healing GOd bless you all
I had to leave my entire family, too. All they offered was hate, trauma, and mean tricks, as I was the scapegoat that each one enjoyed torturing. Eventually, my dad escaped but not with his life. He was tortured to death and the last person on Earth who loved me. I tried to save him, but he didn't have the strength to leave. I am alone missing him, but at least he is finally at peace. RIP daddy.
@@aprilkitten God bless you I pray for your healing.... it's sad to know that this happens to many of us we are in the last days good against evil mother against daughter father against son...just pray for them your family is in bondage and some probably demonically possessed.... cling to Jesus he will fill that place in your heart ❤️
1970 this was my anthem, was missing my wife who would be playing cards every weekend and I was home alone with my three small children. When the álbum Let's Stay Together, late night d j kelson " chop- chop fisher was offering the álbum as the prize for the best essay on how to mend a broken heart, to my surprise I heard him call my name as the winner of that álbum, today in 2023 I still have it in my collection and sometimes I just want to listen to it and remember when.
Al has the soul, but imagine the talent that created this song! Al was given perfectly written thoughts to mold his version, but I still think the BeeGees nailed it. If you knew the circumstances that the song was written under, you might agree. And three part harmony by brothers is an instrument that nobody else has.
Lyrics I can think of younger days when living for my life Was everything a man could want to do I could never see tomorrow I was never told about the sorrow And how can you mend a broken heart? How can you stop the rain from falling down? Tell me, how can you stop the sun from shining? What makes the world go 'round? How can you mend a this broken man? Yeah How can a loser ever win? Somebody please help me mend my broken heart And let me live again, la-la, la-la, la I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees And misty memories of days gone by But we could never see tomorrow Would you believe that no one, no one ever told us about the sorrow? So how can you mend a broken heart? And mine is How can you stop the rain from falling down? Baby How can you stop that old sun from shining? What makes the world go 'round? And sometime I have to say, yeah, say La-la-la, la-la-la, uh-huh, yeah La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, tell me Help me mend my, my broken heart I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna I just wanna live again, baby How can you mend this broken man? Yeah, somebody tell me How can a loser ever win? 'Cause, baby Help me mend my, this old broken heart I think I, I believe I I feel like I got to, I feel like I wanna live again How can you mend, ah, this broken heart? Somebody please tell me How can you stop the rain from falling down? I know my clothes are all wet, tell me How can you mend my, please help me mend my broken heart I think I, I believe I, I've got a feeling that I want to live and live and live La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la La
I lost my mom suddenly she was an Al Green fan sitting here reminiscing about how we all use to have a good time drinking listening to her favorite artist and we played his songs at her funeral she loves her some Al..I listen to him remembering her ..I miss her so much🥰🥰❤️❤️
I'm 47 i recently reconnected with my high school crush who I never told that I had the crush...30 years later we got together....n I thought we fell in love ....I waited my whole life for her ...been married..baby mama..the whole nine...we had what I thought was an undeniable connection...well I was wrong...we were in love ...and it all changed over nothing ...nothing important enough ....to deny true love....pride don't mean shit with matters of the heart....I loved her my whole life ....and she broke my heart and this is the last time this will ever happen.....when people show you who they truly are it can be ugly....I'm lost...it's only been a week apart....time heals ...but love isn't something that is easy to find...I'm pouring my heart out....because it's the only way you can heal...thank you Al Green ....thank you for helping me ease my pain....
I had the honor of meeting Reverend Al on Sunday, November 13th, 2022, at his church in Memphis. He prayed for me, and was so personable, sweet, and so down to earth! I cried the entire service 😂. He has no idea that I got his name tattooed over my heart in 2010, but I’m pretty sure he figured out at some point that I was a super fan! 😊❤
Everytime i listen to this song after my divorce, i weep and weep this is one of that songs where you can feel his hurt and your hurt and you can just let go. After 11 years with new hurt in my heart, this song still helps me to let it go. " Nobody told me about the sorrow" oh Lord.
As a Jamaican living the England for 44 years. I used to stop at the record shop and LISTEN Al Green ONE IN A MILLION VOICE - YES, untouchable man; perfect if ever there was such a thing. Deep, sweeeeeet, soul stirring, uplifting taking you to another world out of this world. SING ON MR AL GREEN.
This is the absolute best version of this song ever recorded, without exception. Reverend Al put so much soul into this Bee Gees classic that it's almost an entirely different song...and his pleading and emotion builds throughout. Just. So. Good....
My Wife, 2 Sons, & 3 Daughters Will Forever Cherish This Song, It Is A Part Of Our Family's Legacy since they were children, We Thank GOD For this Blessing!!!
You can't mend a broken heart, once it's broken, it's always broken; heart failures, heart attacks, strokes, heart disease..............all effects of a broken heart!!!
My niece Jessica bought me this record for my Birthday, to discover my record player was skipping. We were so disappointed, but we still had RUclips. I introduced her to Al greens music. She was in her mid twenties at this time. So many warm Summer days listening to his music on my porch with candle light and just taking it in and escaping our worries! She gifted this record on March the 7th my birthday and tragically died in a car accident March 27, she was 27 years old ( so young) and her birthday was on November 27th She is missed everyday! I’d do any bring her back but I know she in the arms of our Lord Jesus! 💕🥹 rip sweetheart until we meet again.
A voice like velvet, he MAKES my sadness disappear whilst holding on to treasured memories about loved ones that are no longer with me God, I miss my Mum & Dad so much it hurts, Al helps fix that but, you will never mend a broken heart no matter what.
Yes, I remember my Mom playing this Song in the 70"s didn't understand why she was playing it so much...I'm older Now and I understand and I got it now.. You got to have the experience in Life to be able to relate to another Human being ❤❤❤❤❤ Truth 100%...
Lord heal us help us to live in times of difficulty and bare unbearable pain and help us to open our hearts to those you send in our lives and not push away but lean on you. In Jesus Christ name Amen.
Always tears in my eyes when I hear this song. I played this song over & over when I first experienced heartbreak. My heart healed & I love this song to this day.
What I love about old artists is the language. Old American arists, no matter their sub-culture or background, always speak the same language. They tell a story and you can read the label and know exactly what you're getting
Am listening to these songs marking sure I love my women she sleeping am putting the garbage out cleaning the snow of her car making sure I warm it up clean up the kitchen incl floors lol my queen got to love I 4 real

Weren't the Gibb brothers just awesome writers?
Regrets are so painful. God bless you and keep looking up!
This is the most heart breaking comment section. I hope you find solace
I just lost one of my closests friends and her newborn boy three days ago , and somehow this song showed up on some random reels , i feel like this is a sign. a sign to hang on ❤️❤️🩹
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂what u said
Ya sheesh. One love everyone.
Hey y'all, I'm 63 and thank God we're still rockin to Reverend Al in 2024
Amen brother
Well I am just one below you this is great music
Lost my mom 3 years ago, my heart hurts I'm only 24, she took care of 4 kids growing up the ghetto she's died at 42, most precious soul. Rest in peace Nancy I miss you mama
Lo siento!
God bless you and your family my love. Your mama is always going to be in your heart until you meet again.
My prayers and condolences

Sorry for your loss ❤
I used to listen to this song when my son was locked up but he’s home now and it’s been 13 years and he’s doing great ❤
So so glad, ur sons shining 😊
✌️👏🏻👍🙏🏻
God blessed you and you son enjoy the happy times and future together.
Amen!
God bless him..
I was told " you can't mend a broken heart, you learn to live with it " so true, love you my son💕
So true 😢
I lost my 36 yr old son on 6/28/24, my heart is truly broken!
Am not sure about that, when you have a broken heart and meet the right person, it will very quickly.❤
@@uposmile1058 when someone you love dies is not the same especially if that someone is 4 months , in my eighty's now and still remember and feel the pain but I have learned to deal with it , that is life isn't it ? God bless and stay safe .
Probably ridiculous but I'm 69 and lost my home . I had a dog and had to surrender her . Oh dear GOD watch over her . I can't stop thinking about her .
Almost the same thing happened to me a little more than a year ago. I had to surrender my cats. Thinking about it still makes me cry.
Just pray she finds someone that loves her as much as you do. Im sorry, I'm not far off the same path. Tidings to us both.

Your dog is fine, you make sure you are okay
Oh baby I am so sorry. I have fur babies too. May the blessings and peace of God surround you. I plead the blood of Jesus over your life.
I cried to this song when got divorced. Played until no more tears😊
Me too

This song helped me when I was going through my divorce. Thank you Al!
Barry Gibb said that this is his favorite cover.
I can see why!
I saw that interview. He said Al sang it the way it was meant to be sang.
I love me some Al Green
Best cover of any song ever 💖
I remember the nights my dad cried for my mother to come home, cried about my brother passing. I miss him, I didn't mature fast enough to tell him the world he taught me, the heart he gave me or how much I loved him and thank him cus I had a father, a daddy the 1 real man I ever had in my life. Or That I understood our life and i thank GOD i had him. That time has passed. I come here to see his face or see his laugh and sometimes to remember a story.
Exactly how I feel about my dad
I sound these words in the tune of the song and it was great
You just made me cry
So well said and put.Thank You for paying Homage to a real Father/Man.
That touched me
As a child I didn't understand why the grown folks would cry while listening to this song but as a 54 yr old man I totally understand and cry a lil bit too
Yessir
Heard it for the first time from the TV show Atlanta, looked it up and I'm here listening crying 2024, in a 40 year old man, and reading the comments
I promise you I am listening to this now saying "now I understand why my mom listed and cried" I totally get it now
As a child, I never understood what "destiny", "twist of fate" etc meant and why grownups couldnt get over these words.. Oh now I know !
Yes yes yes yes yes yes ❤
They absolutely do not make music like this anymore and that's so sad😢
There is. Lenny Kravitz comes to mind for me, and some more too.
Facts! They completely lost the expression of having feelings within the music, nothing pulls at the heart strings anymore.
@@michaelboltz7297Yes, very few a lot of the classic are dying off. When Prince died that hurt me pretty bad.

This song is a tear jerker for Me! 😢😢😢😢It reminds me of My Only Sister we lost 2 Years ago in July! 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
It also reminds me of friends and family that have passed, especially during Covid!

Oh bless you I lost my dad on the 18th May, I feel your pain my heart is broken too he brought us up to all these songs which I am so thankful for because they don’t make them like this anymore x
I feel the same way my dad I lost at 14 and this all he’d play 😢 life hasn’t been the same
I miss my dad. He only listened to Motown, blues and duwop... except Bod Dyan- he loved real folk (music and people). Anyone who had a great dad and lost him suffered great loss.
My dad has been gone for 25 years and I still miss him so much. ❤

Old school music never gets old
Right about thst
People felt things more strongly, or articulated those feelings better back then. Green is almost 80 and this song still resonates as much as the day he recorded it.
YES. Im 76 and I love the brothers
Just love this song and anything he sings. Love oldies but goodies. The best all around.
FACTS❤
I lost my best friend three days ago and her newborn boy as well. she put up with such a hard life, my family and i accepted her into ours, we gave her her 18th birthday , she is my soulsister. and he is my godson. we were one❤️ her birthday was on the 13th of May, 3 days later she passed due to an asthma attack at the age of 22 and so did her babyboy. we had him on life support but unfortunately there wasnt brain activity. I feel as though a part of me left with her. Life does not feel real whatsoever. But I know we will meet again one day. I am trying my damnest to hang on for my loved ones and them! I saw many other people's stories and goodness. God bless everybody that is here going through it. We need to hold on to the light. God got us. 🤞
RIP To Your friend...🙏🏾🕊💯
Prayers and condolences to you and all who loved her and that precious baby.
@@aqua10133 Absolutely God has us. Listen sweetheart, I understand exactly how you feel In May I lost my best friend as well. I still sit, and think about Life and the Lessons. I thought Me and My Best Friend would grow old, old, together. But, God gave us 35 years to be the best friends we could be to each other. Your Friend, her baby, and my friend are with God Almighty now. The Bible tells us to be absent from this body is to be present with God Almighty. All we can do is move on, and ask God to give us a supernatural strength to keep pressing on. Remember, not just any strength but his SUPERNATURAL strength. We all have different paths in Life, and as you continue your path, I ask that God be right there with you every step you take. ❤️ God Bless You! 🙏
So sorry for your loss!
I'm here in 2024 his music was wonderful in 1969 when I got married

Endless cycles of loneliness, rejection, and depression brought me here in 2024 😢
Yo, heard this song on the TV show Atlanta, and it struck my heart strings, and had to find the song, and its literally a day after your comment, and I'm a grown man and cried so hard just now hearing this song, and my only suffering is probably being lonely.....read the comments section and there are ppl here with a lot worse, so cheer up, take action and we will mend our broken hearts, love from Australia
@@vincentross7469 I know how you feel. When I was very young, I was molested by a famiy member. Because I fought off his advances when I got old enough to, he told everyone in the small town where we lived that I was promiscuious. Years later, the boy I loved found me on fb, and wanted to date and eventually marry me. When he asked me about the rumors, and I told him the truth, he chose to believe what he heard.
My heart is breaking, and I cry every day over him...I love him still, but I refuse to spend my life with someone who chooses to believe a 40 year old rumor. I know God has the right one for me...but it hurts. I still love him.
Stop it! Let's live some life!

...The Book of Eli was my introduction to this song. One of my favorite parts of the movie 💯
Same. I've only now discovered who sang this, and reading the comments I also discovered it is a Bee Gee's song.
Worth running rare battery power flat listening to. 🔊😀💗
Me to bro
When I heard this version from the movie The Book of Eli, I searched for it. Al Green did such a soulful rendition. The Bee Gees original is beautiful, but Al Green raised it several notches more. Absolutely powerful and heart rending at the same. time
Yes, me too. Now, this song is my absolute favorite, and The Book of Eli is my favorite movie. They both go deep!
Yes! I repeated that part for many times! ❤
Arguably the best male vocalist in American history.
His vocal delivery is meticulous

Oh naw that’ll be Luther vandross hands down my opinion
I lost my dad, uncle, granny, best-friend of 5 years, and more. This song has helped me through difficult times and I still love it today.
I'm sorry. You'll be ok! Okay?!
The bee gees did it first but All Green puts life and soul into this version
absolutely
Who are the background singers?
Barry Gibb wrote this song for Al green
@@SexxiToesnot sure about that. They released it on their own prior to this version and it went #1.
@@DouglasLippi…you are correct. Being a song historian, I know that Al sang this to bring his world together as it was falling, and this was a turning point for him in his life. However, The Bee Gees had broken up and Barry was so distraught about it, he wrote this song except for the bridge, called Robin and Maurice, and Robin came over, helped him finish the song but the couldn’t get the words at the end, and when they played it for Maurice, he said he would be right over, and together, they finished the song, and a major bro hug, tears, and a promise to listen to each other more. This was a major Number One Hit for them, as people like myself were so happy they were back together again. The song was offered to Andy William, by the way, who turned it down, as the Brothers made it so popular, that he didn’t want the song. However, a good 50 plus different renditions were made in the first 25 years after the song as they also wrote at the same time, “Lonely Days”, and they had hits back to back, reaffirming their genius for songwriting, when this was released. Everyone famous wanted the song, as it is so heart rendering. However, it was originally meant for the brothers, but became popular for other reasons. Rev Al places a fabulous spin on it. I just love it. But it was not written for him. Good call. A great song indeed.😎👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻♥️✌🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️✌🏼♥️⭐️♥️
In 2020, unexpectedly my fiancée ended our 5 year relationship totally out of the blue. I was absolutely devastated.
I honestly thought that things would never ever get better for me.
I happened to find this song & it absolutely made me break down 😢 like I listened to it over & over & just cried. It’s just amazing.
Now, 3 years later, I have moved on in a good way, but when I hear it now, it reminds me of that time back in 2020.
To anyone who is experiencing a traumatic event, never ever forget that thing’s will & do get better, even if you can’t see that at the moment.
Fantastic song & Al green, what a beautiful song & voice ❤
Me too
I know,every day. ..
Happy for u brother hope all is well 👌🏽💪🏽❤️
She found a guy a few inches taller, or had slightly more status then you. I don't even need to meet or know her to know this.

It does hurt. You never forget, but God and time heals all😊
Al Green took this Bee Gees song to ANOTHER LEVEL. sheesh
Barry gibb says best cover of any of his songs
Oh so true...
Right, the Bee Gee version was horrible.
Excuse me Barry & Robin Gibb actually wrote this song. I saw them sing it in concert and it is still my favorite.
@@janner2020 that’s what I’m saying. I know it’s a Bee Gees song lol. They wrote it. But the Al Green cover/version is so awesome.
Al Green certainly does have an achingly soulful voice.
He really melts your heart when he sings....
Bee Gees, in my humble opinion were better.....
AND yo drawz!
Great way to put it
@@marvelkingdom1972There’s lots of better singers, doesn’t take away from anything said here. Green still touches my heart, despite not being in even my top 30. Just shows how much talent existed at one time.
The man
I was just diagnosed with ASD and ADHD at 20 I was born with a rare genetic mutation causing eye issues music saves my soul ESPECIALLY the great al green one my favorite cover of my favorite songs… so classic
Might be random, but might as well… trip out with me for a second, I lost my dad when I was 5,… had a son real young, fucked up and she left me…. For 5 years I had to live with the fact that I would never have my lady and my son in my life… when my son was 5 years old they both came back into my life, and I got a second chance!!!!! Always looked at it like I picked up where my own dad left off… thanks for listening
Congrats. Everybody deserves a second chance, so do you. ❤
Cherish every moment with your family ❤ family is all we have.
Glad for you Edward. Do right by yourself to do for those you love.
Mr. Al Green took over this song. I still like the Bee Gee’s but Al Green made it his own!!! Still listening in March, 2023!!!
New Birth did similar with "WildFlower". Though the original is great the remake takes it to another level.
Absolutely me too
Understood 100%
Barry gib! WROTE IT FOR HIM. SHOW SOME RESPECT 🙍🙍
Barry Gibb tem a mesma opinião.
From Al Green 's majestic voice to the late Al Jackson's timeless timekeeping on drums this is one of the greatest soul slow jams in music history. They DON'T make music like this anymore.
Was that a white bro or female!
FUN FACT: I just saw a video about the Radiohead song "Nude" which discussed how the band sat on that song for a decade as they were trying to capture a vibe similar to this Al Green classic and didn't want to release it unfinished.
The final song sounds very different to Green's but the influence can be heard and it's a wonderfully haunting song in it's own right. If you're looking for more modern music with a similar soulful edge then I'd suggest giving it a spin.
No, they sure don't.
Also here to say give Radiohead a chance; Nude is an emotional diamond, and the rest of In Rainbows would blow your minds!
You are absolutely right
most soul-crushing experience ever. broken heart kills any single good thing in you. can't see life as it was before. everything is gray and darkness is all around you, when your heart is broken. not even hopes and dreams left. no physical pain ever come close to this.
help me mend my broken heart
and let me live again :)
I remember my mom playing Al Green every weekend while we cleaned the house and she cooked. It was so satisfying and special to me and I loved hearing it because it gave us a sense of peace. I love his music to this day!!❤

I had to leave my entire family to much trauma, toxicity, addiction, hate, no love ....for the sake of my soul to mend my broken heart...but i think of them everyday my mother and aunties would get drunk and play this my heart still hurts for them to be set free..ive made it out threw lord Jesus Christ i wish and pray they receive the same healing GOd bless you all
I had to leave my entire family, too. All they offered was hate, trauma, and mean tricks, as I was the scapegoat that each one enjoyed torturing. Eventually, my dad escaped but not with his life. He was tortured to death and the last person on Earth who loved me. I tried to save him, but he didn't have the strength to leave. I am alone missing him, but at least he is finally at peace. RIP daddy.

1970 this was my anthem, was missing my wife who would be playing cards every weekend and I was home alone with my three small children. When the álbum Let's Stay Together, late night d j kelson " chop- chop fisher was offering the álbum as the prize for the best essay on how to mend a broken heart, to my surprise I heard him call my name as the winner of that álbum, today in 2023 I still have it in my collection and sometimes I just want to listen to it and remember when.
Masterpiece cover version of this wonderful haunting old song. Al has a way of pulling the pain out of a song that originally artists do not.
Can't help but say yes sir and yes sir to that one
Al has the soul, but imagine the talent that created this song! Al was given perfectly written thoughts to mold his version, but I still think the BeeGees nailed it. If you knew the circumstances that the song was written under, you might agree. And three part harmony by brothers is an instrument that nobody else has.
isso basta al e bee gees
if you say so.
Beautiful Bee Gees song covered by the fabulous Al Green. ❤❤

Lyrics
I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see tomorrow
I was never told about the sorrow
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
Tell me, how can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go 'round?
How can you mend a this broken man? Yeah
How can a loser ever win?
Somebody please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again, la-la, la-la, la
I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
But we could never see tomorrow
Would you believe that no one, no one ever told us about the sorrow?
So how can you mend a broken heart? And mine is
How can you stop the rain from falling down? Baby
How can you stop that old sun from shining?
What makes the world go 'round? And sometime I have to say, yeah, say
La-la-la, la-la-la, uh-huh, yeah
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, tell me
Help me mend my, my broken heart
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna
I just wanna live again, baby
How can you mend this broken man? Yeah, somebody tell me
How can a loser ever win? 'Cause, baby
Help me mend my, this old broken heart
I think I, I believe I
I feel like I got to, I feel like I wanna live again
How can you mend, ah, this broken heart? Somebody please tell me
How can you stop the rain from falling down? I know my clothes are all wet, tell me
How can you mend my, please help me mend my broken heart
I think I, I believe I, I've got a feeling that I want to live and live and live
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la
La

Don't do it
I had the honor of meeting Reverend Al on Sunday, November 13th, 2022, at his church in Memphis. He prayed for me, and was so personable, sweet, and so down to earth! I cried the entire service 😂. He has no idea that I got his name tattooed over my heart in 2010, but I’m pretty sure he figured out at some point that I was a super fan! 😊❤

What a wonderful sound to relax and enjoy life. We no longer have good musicians, with such good taste, as we used to.
That Green touch. My Good Lord what a talent. And such a brilliant, simple arrangement. Where did music like this go?
I've been wondering the same thing.
It died to top 40 profitability some time in the late 70s.
It's a go to song any time ,!!! ❤❤❤
there’s plenty of amazing music now a days you just need to look
It never went anywhere. We are still listening .
Would love to see an Al Green biopic released by a major studio.
Everytime i listen to this song after my divorce, i weep and weep this is one of that songs where you can feel his hurt and your hurt and you can just let go. After 11 years with new hurt in my heart, this song still helps me to let it go. " Nobody told me about the sorrow" oh Lord.
As a Jamaican living the England for 44 years. I used to stop at the record shop and LISTEN Al Green ONE IN A MILLION VOICE - YES, untouchable man; perfect if ever there was such a thing. Deep, sweeeeeet, soul stirring, uplifting taking you to another world out of this world. SING ON MR AL GREEN.
Could never go wrong with Al Green and Etta James on the record player 🎼🎤😊
Why is this song making me cry though, grown man here
This is the absolute best version of this song ever recorded, without exception. Reverend Al put so much soul into this Bee Gees classic that it's almost an entirely different song...and his pleading and emotion builds throughout. Just. So. Good....
Thank you Jesus!
Amen
My Wife, 2 Sons, & 3 Daughters Will Forever Cherish This Song, It Is A Part Of Our Family's Legacy since they were children, We Thank GOD For this Blessing!!!

You can't mend a broken heart, once it's broken, it's always broken; heart failures, heart attacks, strokes, heart disease..............all effects of a broken heart!!!
So true my papa just died from a stroke tonight pretty sure he had a broken heart from his mom passing right before him so sad 🙏🏼
Tincture of time
Love can be a good thing and such a blessing. But love can also be one of the most painful things people will ever have to endure.
❤uauuuuu beautiful girl
It's the conundrum of the human condition...ying and yang.
My niece Jessica bought me this record for my Birthday, to discover my record player was skipping. We were so disappointed, but we still had RUclips. I introduced her to Al greens music. She was in her mid twenties at this time. So many warm Summer days listening to his music on my porch with candle light and just taking it in and escaping our worries! She gifted this record on March the 7th my birthday and tragically died in a car accident March 27, she was 27 years old ( so young) and her birthday was on November 27th She is missed everyday! I’d do any bring her back but I know she in the arms of our Lord Jesus! 💕🥹 rip sweetheart until we meet again.
Only God can mend a broken 💔 of a mother who lost her daughter. ✨ I will see you soon, Thea. Wait for me.💛
I miss him SO much. He's all I ever ever ever think about. It's been so long I feel him everywhere. I'm desperate to move on but I don't know how
A voice like velvet, he MAKES my sadness disappear whilst holding on to treasured memories about loved ones that are no longer with me God, I miss my Mum & Dad so much it hurts, Al helps fix that but, you will never mend a broken heart no matter what.
Yes, I remember my Mom playing this Song in the 70"s didn't understand why she was playing it so much...I'm older Now and I understand and I got it now.. You got to have the experience in Life to be able to relate to another Human being ❤❤❤❤❤ Truth 100%...
Could never be improved just pure perfection sang from his heart and soul
Lord heal us help us to live in times of difficulty and bare unbearable pain and help us to open our hearts to those you send in our lives and not push away but lean on you. In Jesus Christ name Amen.
Always tears in my eyes when I hear this song. I played this song over & over when I first experienced heartbreak. My heart healed & I love this song to this day.
No one sounds like Al Green. What a voice and delivery. Along with a slew of other artists, Al makes me Memphis proud.
Anybody else is here in 2024
Oh yes indeed.
ya man, forever
Of course.
Me
Here since 1981
What I love about old artists is the language. Old American arists, no matter their sub-culture or background, always speak the same language. They tell a story and you can read the label and know exactly what you're getting
Am listening to these songs marking sure I love my women she sleeping am putting the garbage out cleaning the snow of her car making sure I warm it up clean up the kitchen incl floors lol my queen got to love I 4 real
