The Air that I Breathe by them is one of the greatest love songs of all time.
This is one of the best songs ever written and it will always be a classic
Chod/Dee, their "The Air That I Breathe" , "Carrie Anne" and "Bus Stop" are next to you!! Allen Clarke with the amazing vocals!
And Graham Nash with the harmonies
He also performed lead vocals on "Breakdown" by The Alan Parsons Project, and Alan Parsons was the engineer on five albums by the Hollies.
This song really touches me. I have a brother who was born with several physical limitations, and when we were younger I would literally carry him. But he wasn't heavy, he's my brother.
Beautiful message to this old song❤
This song represents to me that true kindness doesn’t require reciprocity.
When you do something good simply because it’s the right thing to do, it makes life worth living.
If you can help, even if it’s as simple as just being polite, it counts. If you can do more, you’re often doing yourself more of a favour than the recipient.
Life is compromised of moments that all add up to what sort of person you want to be. I’m old now, and I’m sorry for some of the things I did, but I’m sure glad I helped a little.
True charity must be given Anonymously with no chance to receive gratitude of any kind .
@@raymondmanderville505 Well, Jesus says don't let your right hand know what your left hand is doing. Yes, don't look for any immediate reward or you may not do it. Just do it because it is what God tells us to do, because it is the right thing to do, and God will reward you in the resurrection of the just. 😉
Not only great songs but the ability to completely change their sound is what impresses me. This was a number one song on Billboard hot 100.
Hauntingly beautiful-music, harmonies and lyrics.
Thanks for playing this again
Wonderful classic, one of my favorites. Thank you.
What an amazing song - & an amazing performance from all of the Hollies!!
And that is how it's done! Gorgeous song.
The Hollies are awesome! Ya gotta check out "Long Cool Woman" and "The Air that I Breathe"!
Chod did Long Cool Woman Dec 8, 2020.
Lead singer Allan Clarke was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.
I knew Clarke a little in the 1980's when we had a mutual friend who owned a second hand record shop. Clarke would autograph items in the shop and then browse for hours.
James Wells, Moderator of the United Free Church of Scotland, tells the story of a little girl carrying a big baby boy in his 1884 book The Parables of Jesus. Seeing her struggling, someone asked if she wasn't tired. With surprise she replied: "No, he's not heavy; he's my brother."
I never knew where the saying came from…thanks, such a beautiful outlook.
In 1918, Fr Flanagan saw one boy carrying his crippled brother on his back. When he asked if the boy was heavy, the older one replied:
“He ain’t heavy; he’s my brother, Father.”
This inspired Fr Flanagan to adopt the response as a slogan for Boys Town, and it, in turn inspired the famous song, which became a hit for the Hollies in 1969 and Neil Diamond in 1970.
This is where the saying is from.
@xScooterAZx this is where Bobby Scott and Bob Russell got the idea from. Fr.Flanagan did right to make this motto for Boys Town
The Air That I Breathe is a beautiful love song by The Hollies that you both would love. ✌️❤️
We danced to this tune as a slow song since it had 76 beats per minute...but, many of us sat on the sidelines and simply listened in stunned silence as the full weight of the song came down upon us..,.one the heaviest songs from my generation....
I love how another singer in the band (acoustic guitar player) sings the line for Allen Clarke as he gets ready with the harmonica toward the end....check it out. Shows how good the singers are.
This is a line that was in the old movie "Boy's Town". Great tune. My growing up era. See we did it right. How 'bout now? Wow! Nice version. Thanks for the reaction.
You would really enjoy reacting to The Hollies 'Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress'!
One of the most touching and affecting songs EVER, imo. Beautiful song, message and performance. Timeless.
The tribute to the military soldiers with this song will bring tears to your eyes everytime. I love how Chod gets into this song, you can see happiness just ooze from him, how refreshing.
Hi Dee and Chod! I have a story for this song. My brother died suddenly at the age of 23. Myparents said Icould choose the song for the funeral, "But don't make it too loud" She knew I liked rock and prog. This was still the time of vinyl and record player, I decided whatever was on the turntable was the song for the funeral. My mouth dropped when I saw this was the song.
This song has got to be my favorite of all time. The lyrics in this song so deep and haunting and powerful. It just gets me every time I hear this. We all have someone we love and won't give up on them no matter what the future holds.
They named their band after the legendary Buddy Holly.
They were named after both Buddy Holly and the Christmas decoration, since it was on a Christmas day when the group was formed.
Love this group. The Hollies are a British pop rock group formed in 1962 & known for their great harmonies. They were part of the Merseybeat scene. They had so many great songs such as "Bus Stop", "Stop Stop Stop", "On A Carousel", "Carrie Anne", "Just One Look", "Here I Go Again", "Look Through Any Window", "King Midas In Reverse", "Jennifer Eccles", "Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress" & "The Air That I Breathe". "Graham Nash" was originally in this group & left in 1968 to form "Crosby, Stills & Nash".
@ Dagmar S, The Hollies were a Manchester band and though they played regular gigs in Liverpool they were part of the musically more advanced at the time Manchester music scene. Definitely not Merseybeat.
I noticed that when he's getting ready to play the harmonica, the bass player sings that line.
Anyone else remember the anti-smoking ad in the 90’s that used this? It was my first exposure to this band/song and yeah lol still love this song.
a love song to humanity
The title came from the motto for Boys Town, a community formed in 1917 by a Catholic priest named Father Edward Flanagan. Located in Omaha, Nebraska, it was a place where troubled or homeless boys could come for help. In 1941, Father Flanagan was looking at a magazine called The Messenger when he came across a drawing of a boy carrying a younger boy on his back, with the caption, "He ain't heavy Mr., he's my brother." Father Flanagan thought the image and phrase captured the spirit of Boys Town, so he got permission and commissioned a statue of the drawing with the inscription, "He ain't heavy Father, he's my brother." The statue and phrase became the logo for Boys Town.The Two Brothers concept precedes the magazine illustration that Father Flanagan saw. In 1921, there was a resident at Boys Town who had difficulty walking. He wore leg braces and the other boys would often take turns giving him a ride on their backs. There is a famous photograph of this boy and one of the other youth giving him a ride. Now there are several statues of the Two Brothers on the Home Campus in Omaha; one is the sandstone of the two brothers from the illustration, another is a bronze version by an Italian artist that was commissioned in 1977. There is also a version done directly from the 1921 photograph in the Hall of History. >
You did your homework. I have posted almost the same thing on several reactions to this song. Thanks for posting.
Heck yeah!!!
IN THIS SONG ITS NO MAN LEFT BEHIND
Reminds me of my old man. RIP Da...
Liverpool and Manchester ruled the world for music and football in the 60s
What at time !!
I was in high school when this song came out, and it leveled me the first time I heard it. It never gets old.
You have such a Love for music and you have such a beautiful soul. I just wanted you to know. 8)
the piano player is a new kid in the music business, and his first major gig: Elton John. This group was highly popular in the 60's with several good ones: Bus Stop, Carrie Anne, Long cool Woman, and The air that I breathe(1972-?) yes, they are considered a rock genre.
The reason Allan Clarke's mouthing of the lyrics appears so relaxed and effortless in this rendition, is because he's actually miming, (as can be seen when he starts playing the harmonica while he still appears to be singing the words at the same time") 🤨
Not trying to be smart but the bass player sang that lyric as he was playing harmonica
during this tour they used an unknown pianist named reginald Dwight aka Elton john
For me, nothing beats The Hollies version. However, for a beautiful rendition with exquisite harmonies give a listen to the cover by The Osmond Brothers. On your own, of course. I'm not so sure the channel's community would welcome The Osmonds to the channel.
Why not?
Bring on the Osmond's. They played an integral part of music culture when they were big.
@@kejo7779
In that case, may I suggest either Crazy Horses (could do a cover comparison to the version done years later by Morse/Portnoy/George) or Are You Up There?
Don't forget that Graeme Nash from C,S & N used to be in this band.
The title is actually “He Ain’t” Heavy he’s my Brother.
An unknown Reg Dwight plays rhythm piano on the studio version.. Before he became Elton John.
A great tune and does not need anything more than just an appreciation for what it is!👍🏻☮️❤️🎤
How many times? It's not He's Not Heavy, it's He Ain't Heavy!
A small point, though because it's the sentiment and how it's expressed that grip and in both respects this rendition is sublime.
I was in college when this came out and I've loved it ever since! It is a timeless classic! Chad & Dee, I'd like to recommend the song Europa by Santana. There's a live performance from 1977 you'll absolutely love. He performs it with saxophonist Gato Barbieri. It is a masterful performance you've got to see!
Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress should be your next listen...
I can’t listen to this song without getting teary eyed. The message of brotherly love from above.
The singer is Graham Nash of Crosby stills Nash and young fame.
THIS SONG WAS ONE OF THE SONGS THAT HELP BLACK AND WHITE SOLDIERS BOND DURING THE VIETNAM ERA WAR
That song was inspired by a soldier walking into camp with a wounded soldier in his arms. The sergeant said let me take him and he said he ain't heavy, he's my brother.
Perhaps the most covered song of all time. It's almost who HASN'T covered it! Graham Nash later left this super group to form Crosby, Stills, and Nash (and sometimes Young).
You are young and you should be strong ❤️❤️🙏🏿🎸🎵🎵🎵
This song really resonates with men in war caring for their injured brothers
My High School class song 🎵 1980❤
THIS WAS THE THEME FOR BOY'S TOWN A CATHOLIC ORPHANAGE......FATHER..... HES NOT HEAVY HES MY BROTHER...it was on donation Christmas stamps I had that stamp on my refrigerator in 1959... I had three older brothers the stamp meant a lot ....it had a picture of an older brother carrying his young brother piggyback trying to get to Boystown in the snow ... They made it and were confronted by a priest who saw the brothers and asked him and if he needs help....The older brother said To the priest... FATHER..... HES NOT HEAVY HES MY BROTHER...
I think that there is a recorded track with the strings and possibly some other instruments being played while they performed live. Allen Clark mistakenly says filled with “sadness” instead of “gladness” at one point, and Bernie Calvert, who usually plays bass, is playing piano. He can play piano, though, so I am not sure if that is on the track with the strings. I heard that a young and then unknown Elton John played the piano for the actual recording of their record, but I am not positive it is true.
Loved this song since it came out many years ago. Even at such a young age it made me tear up and still does
Slow dancing at church and school dances.. gotta love the memories.
Classic
I agree with the harmonica
Love this song,Great reaction!! This song has such a great message.
This song was inspired by a statue at Boys Town in Omaha. Founded by Jesuit priests for "at risk" boys. Google it.
This song was used during the freedom marches and also by soldiers in Vietnam, in the 60s and 70s.
It represents caring about others.
Thanks for the harmonica love!
I started playing 59 years ago when I was 8 and play in a local blues band.
(I wish I'd learned to play sax instead. lol)
Originally a big hit for them in the late 1960's. This performance was from Mike Mansfield's mid 1970's television show & it became a UK number 1 in 1988 after it was used in a very popular beer advert here.
Peace, Love & Rock-N-Roll. This is Love: "Brother" = all humans. Read the LYRICS and listen again. You'll be glad that you did. Love this pick!
You may already know this Chod but The Five Heartbeats is a fictitious group.
David and Jimmy Ruffin do a nice version of this song. Two brothers singing this gives a more literal meaning to a great song
When Dee listens carefully and you can see her emotions on her face she really looks beautiful!
Violin yes
He ain't heavy He's My brother came from a picture on a wall that father Flanagan in real life at boys Town in Nebraska saw and asked if he could use it became the mantra at boys Town... It was a movie way back with Spencer Tracy Play Father Flanagan... The original saying was he ain't heavy father he's my brother❤
Listen to the Osmonds version it's extremely well done and as they are 8 brothers and a sister it rings true
can you do a reaction to Need Ya by Bob Seger
I'm sure you've enjoyed the drumming... besides everything else 🎶
Try It's a Beautiful Day song White Bird, also where Deep Purple got there song Child in Time the song Bombay Calling
can you do a reaction to Neon Sky by Bob Seger
Coldplay - Biutyful (Official Video)
Watch him live in concert live music you we’ll see even better great music
It ain't "isn't", it's "ain't".
The singer's brother, Leopold, weighed in at 142 pounds, so the man wasn't lying; he ain't heavy...although I might be. Both.
We need to have this spirit today especially when considering our brothers and sisters who are most in need, including refugees. They are our brothers and sisters too, as are everyone and everything else on the planet. Brother Sun, Sister Moon. The welfare and stewardship of this planet is on each of us. It ain't heavy. Hate is heavy. Indifference is heavy.
☮️❤️🔥🔥🔥🎶🎵🎶🎵... Yes he is! ❤️
Apart from anything else, the lyrics of this song deserve a place in the rock pantheon.
LONG COOL WOMAN (IN A BLACK DRESS),
BUS STOP,
& CARRIE ANNE will make Dee happy. I can't wait to see her reaction to the vocals and rhythm of Long Cool Woman. A really great song.
There were a lot of ideas on what this song was really about. My favorite was that the singer is a pallbearer at his brothers funeral.
Probably synth. Alan Clarke's voice is amazing. Probably one of the best songs ever written.
You should listen to Donny Hathaways version of this its soulful & churchfullike.. Its beautiful
magnifique xxxxxxxxxx
I remember seeing a show once where a character defiantly says, "Am I my brother's keeper?" And another character quietly responds, "The answer to that is supposed to be 'yes'."
We run a 'radical soup kitchen'--free gourmet soups and sides every week day for free for anyone, restaurant style, plus free produce most days. This song is our theme song
Before they came up with a gazillion "genres", it was all rock & roll. As Billy Joel said, "It's Still Rock And Roll To Me". : )
Suggest a great, little known cover by Bill Medley (Righteous Bros.)
gREETINGS FROM mEXICO
liverpool had the beatles, manchester the hollies, there harmony was a match for anyone
Love your videos but one thing I've noticed: You need a microphone! Hearing your comments is very difficult at times.
"Ain't" heavy...
The story of a little girl carrying a big baby boy in his 1884 book The Parables of Jesus. Seeing her struggling, someone asked if she wasn't tired. With surprise she replied: "No, he's not heavy; he's my brother."
BUS STOP PLEASE!!
Can you do Stevie Wright, Evie part 1,2 and 3 ?
It's "He 'Aint'Heavy".
You got the song title wrong. It's He *ain't heavy, he's my brother. Can you please fix the title.
