1989....I was called home to take care of my youngest brother Stevie who was dying of AIDS. I nursed him until he took his last breath. He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.....❤️

I was abused as a child and was suffering from mental problems since young age. I recall it like yesterday that my brother would comfort me and sing this to me! An amazing man he is 😢 no matter what he goes through in life, he continues to be there to support me and lift me up whenever I’m down. I love you so much big bro - truly blessed to have u in my life! 💓
Angry Cat : I fully agree my friend a very meaningful and moving song. A friend once said he didn’t like it because he didn’t get along with his brother but I said it didn’t necessarily have to be about your actual brother. It could be about a friend or maybe a teammate. I think he walked away with a different perspective of the the song after that.
For my brother Dan who passed away in January. He was never “heavy”, or a burden. I did all I could to help when he needed me. I love you brother. See you on the other side.
Dusti, I can totally relate. My brother and I were the only one left out of our family. His wife had passed 4 years earlier and they never had children. I was the only one that he would let help him. He was a brittle diabetic, besides the fact that he was 6’10” and 425lbs and pretty much had given up after losing his wife of 19. He was my little brother. Mom always said he was my present for my birthday. I have had so many panic attacks over the the last 2 years (his memorial service was 2 years ago yesterday) waking up in a cold sweat thinking what would he have done had I gone first. He had no one to help him with anything. I know it didn’t happen but I still have the ‘What if’s?’
RIP to my younger brother who was killed in Vietnam today in 1969.. when this song first came out I had just got back from Vietnam where my brother and I were stationed.. I left Jan 69 he was supposed to leave November 69.. to this day I tear up when I hear this
This is a beautifully profound song. And for me it expresses the obligation that each of us have to help and assist each other, whether or not they are our biological brothers.
I got both biological brothers and brothers by bond. Whenever I feel lost and they feel I'm in pain, they don't ask if I want to talk about it. They just play this song.
I sing this song to my brother whenever I am with him when he's down and weak, see my brother is dying of leukemia and bladder cancer and he has a wife that is 8 weeks pregnant and 4 children living at home and 2 that are in their late 20's and early 30's . My brother is trying to hang on to see all his children graduate high school and I'm so proud of my brother for everything he has done with his life. That's why I sing this song to my brother whenever I can. I love my brother so much to the Heaven and back.
My brother died in Afghanistan, fighting as a Royal marine commando, god bless you buddy! I miss really miss you, war is the worst! His troops got pinned down and the rest of his platoon couldn’t get to him. RIP Jamie!
This is a song that should echo in our hearts on these days. Just like it says: I'm laden with sadness that everyone's heart isn't filled with the gladness of love for one another.
Everyone should hear this wonderful song every day and the world would be a better one. Don't give up hope that one day we all love each other IMAGINE.... I wonder if you can Greetings from John Lennon 💞💞💞😇
I lost my uncle last year to lung cancer. I asked for this to be played at his funeral. He went from a 6 foot 2 gentle giant, to someone who couldn't even get out of bed in just 6 weeks. You may have been my uncle by blood Paul, but in my heart you will always be my brother.
This song reminds me so much of my late great oldest brother Mike Morrison. I took his death so very very hard I may have had a nervous breakdown because of losing him so unexpectedly like we did. He’s on my mind everyday of my life and I cry every time I think of him or even hear his name.
I hope you are doing well and that you are blessed by only wonderful memories of your brother. I am sure that he would not want you to be suffering for his sake.
@@josephcallahan1208 She needs counselling, or some realistic way to get a grip on the loss and go through the grieving process. Religion only offers a fantasy that people don't really buy, even if they're clinging to it, because otherwise death would be the best possible thing that could happen to a person, and there wouldn't be a reason to mourn.
@Regina Morrison~~ We don't know one another, but I wanted you to know how sorry I am for your loss. My heart aches for you loosing a sibling. I haven't and dread the day I do. Just know you're in my prayers for comfort. Janis
I went to a funeral today for one of dads best mates... This song was played & it was the first time I'd ever heard it. One of the most emotional songs I've heard 🙏🏽
Lost my best friend of 50 years on Dec 21 2022. He passed immediately after heart surgery. We met in 1973 when we were 14 years old. Did alot of stuff together during our lifetime. Partied like crazy during the 70's. Ha. His name was Dave Bryan. God blessed me with the greatest friend anyone could possibly have. He was more like a brother than a friend. This song is for you Dave. See ya when God almighty takes me home, buddy.
I lost my best friend of 30.odd years to cancer just before the pandemic...2019. I miss him dearly. Life is not the same without him. Still, the booze helps.
To my 2 brothers, one who passed away on this day in 2014 and the other who passed away in 2015.. I love and miss both of you more than words can express..Rest in Peace, your heartbroken sister loves you both so much.
@cyndi claie~~ your comment hit me hard. I'm so so so very sorry for the loss of your brothers. Even though we don't know one another please know that I care and that you're in my prayers. Janis
I'm sorry for your loss. That "time heals all wound" crap is just that. I know you'll always live with the pain of loss and for that I'm sorry. But always remember the good times you had with them and you will smile. No one can ever take that smile from you and no one can ever take the memories you have.
You could say it's Taoist if you like. A true master dwells within the Tao, the dark enigma, the mysterious generative cycle that rises and falls without regard. He is nobody, and is therefore available to everybody. Use him. He is never depleted, for there is nobody to deplete. I'm roughly paraphrasing, but you get the point. A strong person or master would not consider the suffering of mankind a personal burden, because he has conquered his ego. Thus he is able to truly help.
I'm dedicating this song to my big brother that's in his last stages of life. I'm going to miss him with all my heart. I just hope I can make it to see him before he goes!!! I love you Johnny Lee James Millhollin!!!!!! 😢😢😢😢
I took care of my sick Brother and then my precious very sick husband with unconditional love, as my Lord gave me His strength. Sadly, when my husband passed, I had to pick up my husband's ashes. The Director put his container on the table. When I went to pick him up, he told me that it was heavy, be careful. I looked at him and said: He ain't heavy Sir; he's my husband. 😢 The director then sat down and tears came down his face. We need this same type of unconditional love in our Country; today.
If someone wants to associate this song with their actual brother then that's ok. Let people take from it what they want to without an analysis of the song.
When my baby brother was dying, his doctor said, to me: "I know you're a nurse ,but,family 's different, can you handle it?" I knew it was trite, I knew/know, what people would,and will say ,because I said the same to myself. ...but It was the only thing to say. I said "He's my brother!" For the first time in my nursing career I saw a tear run down a doctors face. I tried to block this song from my thinking mind because ,well,a pop song !!! Then I remembered the picture which inspired song . This song is iconic because it speaks to a fundamental truth within us all.
This was sung at my dad's funeral in 2000. I love you and miss you so much. I wish you were here, my life would probably so different if you were still here.
Grew up listening to this song. My brother was disabled so I grew up always looking out for him. I would fight anyone who dared to pick on him. From the moment I heard this song I knew it would always be the one to remind me of him. I took care of him till the end. Tomorrow will be 7 years and it still hurts like yesterday. I love you and miss you my brother.
My brothers all I have in this world. FINALLY got him into rehab. Thank God for I knew he wasn't gonna make it if he didn't. Sooooo relieved. I know he's got a long road ahead but he ain't gonna go it alone.
Praise Jesus, this song always makes me lean into when HE told me HIS yoke is easy and burden is light. Then I think of myself carrying my own cross. I know I never walk alone. Thank you Jesus.
Brenda Ruscigno Amen! All the glory to God. Jesus told us to love each other. If only we would all listen and follow Him. This song, though I know it is speaking of brotherly love, was dedicated to me around 1975 when I was ten years old by my oldest brother who is ten years older than me. It was the one time he ever spoke sentimentally to me in my life, really. He was driving me somewhere in his truck and this song came on and he said "I dedicate this song to YOU, Rick.". I thought about it maybe a few times since then, but these past couple of days I've been pretty tired out. I recently developed some skin issues that make me itch greatly and one that is contagious, a staph infection. I am the sole caretaker of that brother I mentioned and our 88 year old mother. Both are crippled, my mom is bedridden and my brother is in a wheelchair. I've been really nerve wracked over it having the skin problems, afraid to give them a staph infection!! I don't get paid, exactly, to help them but my basic needs are met, so that's good enough for me. But God brought this song to my mind yesterday (and today) and I think it was to encourage me but also to remind me that my brother would have done the same for me, if the shoe had been on the other foot. He is reminding me BEFORE I get to thinking the wrong way, like being unhappy with the situation or something. It's been four and a half years since her stroke that made her crippled. My mom certainly deserves all the care in the world, she hallways been so good to us all. And they both are great patients, except my brother is a picky eater, having eaten in restaurants so much in his life! 😬 Anyway, your comment was the first I saw that mentioned Jesus, and I appreciate that. People wonder why this world is the way it is, and it's simple--they ignore God or do worse, actively behave opposite of His ways. Lately, I've been putting on most all of my comments the statement in the quotes below at the end of this reply. It's my way to present what I've learned to others.

My brother had a bad accident. He is in the hospital, not doing good. He is my baby brother,the kindest soul you would ever want to meet.his wife left him while he is struggling to survive.his two sons never went to see him. But I will never ever leave him. I was there everyday for him, feeding him caressing his hurt forehead and telling him I love you brother. People couldn't find time to see him. I cried the first time I saw him there but I caught myself, so as he wouldn't, notice. His own family abandoned him, but I never will, just as God, our sweet Lord Never will leave his side or anyone. And no, he ain't heavy! Love to everyone who is going through the same thing.
It was never a burden to have a big brother with special needs. It was hard, cause I learned the world was cruel, and I learned what worry really was, long before the kids my age. But he was never a burden. I learned more from him than anyone else. I wouldn't be who i am without him. Its been 8 years since he passed away. Its harder to walk this path of life without him. I miss you brother. Every day. Love you Dannyboy.
If this song doesnt pull on the heart strings of brotherly love, there cant be another that comes as close, as this one. Go ahead, hug your neighbour, or the person beside you, the one if any, that's listening to it at the same time as you are.
This song reminds me of all the memories of me and my dad who passed in 2016 when I was just a little boy but I'm all grown up now I just wanna see his face again. Lord pls help me and my family💖
Such a beautiful amazing song I fell in love with hearing it at work, my coworker was chopping veggies and she’s playing this on her phone, a few of us were in the back since we had downtime and just started dancing and laughing and talking. It was fun and beautiful. I’m thankful for this amazing and fun wild life I have even with all my downfalls I still shine.
I'm grateful that I grew up in the 1960s with music like this to feed my soul. When I listen to the junk young people have today, I am not surprised so many of them are unhappy.
bwanna23 the music was written by Bobby Scott, who also wrote A Taste of Honey. The lyrics are by Bob Russell, who had a long career writing songs for movies. Probably his most famous collaborations were with jazz great Duke Ellington, “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore” and “Do Nothin’ Til You Hear From Me.” In my opinion, though, his finest collaboration with Ellington is the lesser known “I Didn’t Know About You.” Listen to this exquisite recording of it by Ella Fitzgerald: ruclips.net/video/k-Y1x4v6ZFM/видео.html “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” was the last set of lyrics Russell ever wrote. He died of lymphoma shortly after finishing the song.
Lost my uncle this past June, we played this at his funeral. We all love you so much boy & miss you so much. We think about you everyday & we will NEVER forget you. RIP ❤
I lost my Brother on May 1st, I so wish we could have helped him but we couldn't no matter how hard we tried. He was the most gentle, kind, person you would ever wish to meet and wouldn't harm a fly. My Sister, Brother and I played this song in his funeral and we meant every word. I miss him so much and wish he was still here with us. Miss you big bro, I hope all the pain has now gone and you are happy once more, till we meet again xxx
This song I think I'm my true brothers that took some of my weight many times when i needed it. No matter what it was, their main concern was me and not what they had to do. I thank God for these men in my life, am truly blessed. When I call them brother I mean he's my brother.
This is dedicated to my half brother Steve Hernandez. He passed this november......3 days after my step nephew. May he rest in peace. Till we meet again Bro.I luv u n miss u. I think about u so much Bro. See u in Heaven wen I get there.
My uncle was my dad's most favorite person on the planet. The world didn't deserve a man like him. He was too great. When I need time with him, I grab a beer, sit on my deck, and play this on loop
My Brothers untimely Death...GOD, I truly miss him! Gary, I love you and miss you so much! I truly believe that we will be together again. In our perfect world that our Heavenly Father creates for all of his loved ones. UNTIL THEN, "RIP" BROTHER.🙏
God reminds me of this song whenever I feel I’m a burden to Him. Although He is my Father (and not my brother), He has carried me through many hardships and difficulties. I am so grateful for Him 💜
God loved the world so much he gave his only begotten son. This song will put a tear in your eyes. IMO A true Christian understands this song because Christianity is a brotherhood. Be blessed
Love this song reminds me of my two brothers I have lost, Mike who sadly died of cancer in 2016 and Chris who sadly died in a motorbike accident in 1993 miss you both so much! Make sure you look after my baby boy for me until I get there xx
Reminds me of my brother that passed away 6years now and still miss him so much he died of cancer they say the lord only takes the best and he was the best R,I, P my brother
My late husband loved this song...he was in the Army..a very young man...we met and of course he shared his experiences with me and my heart broke. We were young 18yrs. We married and have 2 sons. I loved him with all my heart ❤️ 😊
i dedicate this to my older brother who died at birth. Im the eldest of three with two younger sisters. It would have been cool to have you growing up with me David. R.I.P
The first time i heard this it was in my Xbox 360 music library, no clue how it got there but it always stuck with i never forgot it and now in my teen years its a song that will carry me into adulthood. thank you.
My cousin passed a few years ago and this was one of the songs we played at his funeral. Sitting here now listening, having the worst time and just wishing things were different and I could do things better. I miss you Robert, see you again one day xx
This song is so perfectly written. I think I feel this exact same way in many ways. My brother is a drug addict. God I hope he gets the help he needs before it's too late.
I dedicate this song to my brother who passed away last 23 this month.. i love you so much and i will always remember you. I miss you. You are in the hands of our Almighty God now..
What I wouldn't give for a time machine. I grew up in the 80s and that was the last fun era. The world sucks now! I want to start in the 50s and go forward. Great cars and music and a much better time .
This song reminds me of my dead grandad who always sing this to me but by the time I was 10 he was deaf and blind so he had to stay in bed till he had a heart attack and his last words were "can you play at my funeral 'he ain't heavy he's my brother' for me" I cry when ever I hear this song😭.
DAMN, THIS SONG brings me memories of my faithful dog, BLACK, who died out of age related complications two years ago, he began to lose control of his limbs during some strange seizures in which he walked around the house, as in a trance, until i stopped him and laid him to rest...i used to walk him in a big place i have with trees and grass he loved since he was a puppy along with LAIKA and CANELA, but at the end of the walk, we had to climb a big stair upwards, so i carried him in my arms,and this song came to my mind and i sang it for him, he laided his head on my shoulder and together got home, this lasted for two months until he could not sleep because of the seizures, vet could not do much to hel him, so i had to put him to rest for good... days later, i found myself climbing those stairs again singing this song again and, for a moment, felt his presence in my arms ,which were in the same position that i carried him home and for the fist time since he died, let my feeling of loss to show...thinking to myself, i never felt his weight when i carried him , i was always eager to do it, just for him, for both of us... thanks for sharing this masterpiece, man....
+EKO EKO AZARAK This made me cry, i am sorry for your loss and you did such an amazing job to look after him but at least he isn't in any pain now and he will be in your heart forever :)
Thank you for sharing that wonderful and personal story, it really touched my heart ad made me think of my dearly departed cat Vinny....Blessed are the animals!
Beautiful thing to write my friend. Very symbolic meaning some music has!! And to add to the person, and there life experiences which can make one relate to a certain song or music. And to personally harness those feelings and emotionally engage them to a time when it resonates in yourself is a special feeling. I too am an animal lover, (especially a dog lover) And I get it. Was nice nearly finishing a beautiful bottle of red, listening to this, while reading a beautiful but heart breaking story.
+EKO EKO AZARAK Very hard to let go, I know. This song means a lot to me too. Thanks for sharing your story and I wish you all the best and strenght. He is in good hands now
This classic song is profound and will never get old. I think of my brother Ross who died of cancer. And my three nephews who when one was suffering with leukemia the others rose to the occasion. Out of the two one was a match for a bone marrow transplant. I am so proud of them!
Always reminds me of my older brother. As a kid he took the blame for my younger brothers accidental vandalism(he kicked a stone and it smashed a window) and because he was older than us and had a job he paid for it though he was only about 16/17 himself. Sometimes he would take the blame from our dad when me or my little bro where too terrified (he was a scary guy) and take beatings for us. Three of us shared a bedroom and he would make us laugh as we fell asleep lol. I should appreciate him more, maybe that's why this song makes me sad?
This song was mine and my brothers favorite song growing up. He was murder in 2017 I miss him sooo much he was my best friend. My protector everything. It so hard w/o him here. Died to early in life. I guess God needed another angel 😇😔in heaven. I'll c u in heaven Bobby Hunter
It was my brothers funeral yesterday. This was the song we walked into. R.I.P Simeon Francis a brother, a father, a son, a friend, a loved one. I’ll be seeing you brother💕
My dad's sister thought of this song when she picked up my dad's ashes from the funeral home twenty-five years ago. When I was told that it was the first time I smiled since finding out he had passed away.
song reminds me of my brother lee who died last october miss him so much rip bro
mine was mother's day, this year. feel like I'm dying!!!
I had a brother called lee he died to x
My little brother passed away on January 13, 2015 and I miss him so much. My life has never been the same since.

It sure is - espcially now during this stressful summer of 2020 and our nation's ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

RIP to my younger brother who was killed in Vietnam today in 1969.. when this song first came out I had just got back from Vietnam where my brother and I were stationed.. I left Jan 69 he was supposed to leave November 69.. to this day I tear up when I hear this
Thank you both for your service to our country. Take care, and Happy July 4th :)
God bless friend
Sorry for your loss, he is a true Hero. God bless.
If he'd cared about you and the rest of his family, he would have burned his draft card.

If one does not tear up or cry listening to this song they are surely soulless..😢
Especially when the told the story of the song
100%
guess I'm soulless
but it's a beautiful song
True, true, true.
Trust me....I'm sobbing right now
This is a beautifully profound song. And for me it expresses the obligation that each of us have to help and assist each other, whether or not they are our biological brothers.
Yes, absolutely ✌️
I got both biological brothers and brothers by bond. Whenever I feel lost and they feel I'm in pain, they don't ask if I want to talk about it. They just play this song.
Amen.
How true.
My very best thoughts are with you all I lost my beautiful feeling careing brother to 👍👍👍👍👍
I sing this song to my brother whenever I am with him when he's down and weak, see my brother is dying of leukemia and bladder cancer and he has a wife that is 8 weeks pregnant and 4 children living at home and 2 that are in their late 20's and early 30's .
My brother is trying to hang on to see all his children graduate high school and I'm so proud of my brother for everything he has done with his life.
That's why I sing this song to my brother whenever I can.
I love my brother so much to the Heaven and back.
My brother died in Afghanistan, fighting as a Royal marine commando, god bless you buddy! I miss really miss you, war is the worst! His troops got pinned down and the rest of his platoon couldn’t get to him. RIP Jamie!
Paid the ultimate sacrifice hats of to your brother hes a hero in everyone's eyes bro👌👌 RIP
He who saves one life ..saves the world entire ..thank you jamie..
My condolences 😞
God bless you and your Brother Jamie. He is with the angels now.
Reading all this comments make me cry
This is a song that should echo in our hearts on these days. Just like it says:
I'm laden with sadness that everyone's heart isn't filled with the gladness of love for one another.
Everyone should hear this wonderful song every day
and the world would be a better one. Don't give up hope that one day we all love each other
IMAGINE.... I wonder if you can

Carried my brother ( Stephen John green 1960 - 2018 ) in to the church with this song with other family members, rip bro love you lots
I know the feeling to carry one that is now gone. God bless.
I'm so very sorry.
He ain't Heavy, He's my brother
No burden to "bear"

This song is made out of heart and soul. Gets me every time.
it's ok I lost my brothers Tony and Gary and I'm very strong. Both live inside of me. God bless you 😘
Same for me, lyrics and beautiful voices are so moving.❤

They made it a government program a long time ago. Welfare is great for some. A cost to all.
This is such a legendary song. Definitely a tear jerker because so many people can relate.
I miss my brother so much. He was a precious kid. He was only 19 when he went to be with the Lord Jesus Christ.
love ur brother too jimmy in nyc
I'm sorry for your loss but please take comfort he is with God in paradise.
I lost my uncle last year to lung cancer. I asked for this to be played at his funeral. He went from a 6 foot 2 gentle giant, to someone who couldn't even get out of bed in just 6 weeks. You may have been my uncle by blood Paul, but in my heart you will always be my brother.
This song reminds me so much of my late great oldest brother Mike Morrison. I took his death so very very hard I may have had a nervous breakdown because of losing him so unexpectedly like we did. He’s on my mind everyday of my life and I cry every time I think of him or even hear his name.
I hope you are doing well and that you are blessed by only wonderful memories of your brother. I am sure that he would not want you to be suffering for his sake.
May Mike be at rest in the Loving arms of Jesus where Stillness, Light and Love Abound.
@@josephcallahan1208 She needs counselling, or some realistic way to get a grip on the loss and go through the grieving process.

I went to a funeral today for one of dads best mates... This song was played & it was the first time I'd ever heard it. One of the most emotional songs I've heard 🙏🏽
I hope you were a good Eugoogalizor.
эта мысль , когда-нибудь исполнять и на моих похоронках тоже приходила в голову мне
My grandads coffin was carried in to this song on 13th April 2018. We’ll all miss you so much.
Rest in peace, Thomas Powers 💙
Lost my best friend of 50 years on Dec 21 2022. He passed immediately after heart surgery. We met in 1973 when we were 14 years old. Did alot of stuff together during our lifetime. Partied like crazy during the 70's. Ha. His name was Dave Bryan. God blessed me with the greatest friend anyone could possibly have. He was more like a brother than a friend. This song is for you Dave. See ya when God almighty takes me home, buddy.
I lost my best friend of 30.odd years to cancer just before the pandemic...2019. I miss him dearly. Life is not the same without him. Still, the booze helps.
a brother is the best friend you will ever have in this life
I don't have one :(
So true.
what about a sister ?
yes but shes a bitch,....... but i still love her
this was played at my uncles Funeral not to long ago :(
To my 2 brothers, one who passed away on this day in 2014 and the other who passed away in 2015.. I love and miss both of you more than words can express..Rest in Peace, your heartbroken sister loves you both so much.
@cyndi claie~~ your comment hit me hard. I'm so so so very sorry for the loss of your brothers. Even though we don't know one another please know that I care and that you're in my prayers. Janis
I'm sorry for your loss. That "time heals all wound" crap is just that. I know you'll always live with the pain of loss and for that I'm sorry. But always remember the good times you had with them and you will smile. No one can ever take that smile from you and no one can ever take the memories you have.
If you follow let me know that you are the girl from RUclips
Still have my brother.
Lost my sister at 10. NEVER let things get between love
of your family. The music is very strongly Christ oriented
You could say it's Taoist if you like.
A true master dwells within the Tao, the dark enigma, the mysterious generative cycle that rises and falls without regard. He is nobody, and is therefore available to everybody. Use him. He is never depleted, for there is nobody to deplete.
I'm roughly paraphrasing, but you get the point. A strong person or master would not consider the suffering of mankind a personal burden, because he has conquered his ego. Thus he is able to truly help.
Christians always want to own everything in this world. This song has nothing to do with religion let alone chtistianity
It's how He wants us to live.
@Paulo Mendes Because the Bible refers to God as 'He' and His Son, Jesus Christ.
@Paulo Mendes Yeah Paul. What do you believe in?
This was played at my father's funeral, organised by his brother. Brings me close to tears each time I hear this. Rest in peace, dad.
With songs like these, you don't need a drink to feel sad or reminiscing. Class act.
I'm dedicating this song to my big brother that's in his last stages of life. I'm going to miss him with all my heart. I just hope I can make it to see him before he goes!!! I love you Johnny Lee James Millhollin!!!!!! 😢😢😢😢
I hope you got to see him I'm so sorry for your loss
Possibly one of the greatest songs ever written.
I took care of my sick Brother and then my precious very sick husband with unconditional love, as my Lord gave me His strength. Sadly, when my husband passed, I had to pick up my husband's ashes. The Director put his container on the table. When I went to pick him up, he told me that it was heavy, be careful. I looked at him and said: He ain't heavy Sir; he's my husband. 😢 The director then sat down and tears came down his face. We need this same type of unconditional love in our Country; today.
I think they mean 'brother' as in all of us, brotherhood of man! We must help each other if were to get through this crazy life!
I agree!
No matter what our beliefs are or what life throws at all of us we all bleed the same colour.
Yes it applies times today but song written for Vietnam American soldiers
If someone wants to associate this song with their actual brother then that's ok. Let people take from it what they want to without an analysis of the song.
@@laura72989 of course that's ok. I was just posting my interpretation of the song hence why I said 'i think' ✌
Lost my brother in July...he was never a burden and I miss him terribly
When my baby brother was dying, his doctor said, to me: "I know you're a nurse ,but,family 's different, can you handle it?"
I knew it was trite, I knew/know, what people would,and will say ,because I said the same to myself. ...but
It was the only thing to say.
I said "He's my brother!"
For the first time in my nursing career I saw a tear run down a doctors face.
I tried to block this song from my thinking mind because ,well,a pop song !!!
Then I remembered the picture which inspired song .
This song is iconic because it speaks to a fundamental truth within us all.
That's how powerful music is...
This was sung at my dad's funeral in 2000. I love you and miss you so much. I wish you were here, my life would probably so different if you were still here.
This songs always tears me up.Some pain never go away.
Grew up listening to this song. My brother was disabled so I grew up always looking out for him. I would fight anyone who dared to pick on him. From the moment I heard this song I knew it would always be the one to remind me of him. I took care of him till the end. Tomorrow will be 7 years and it still hurts like yesterday. I love you and miss you my brother.
Beautiful lyrics. I played this at my brother's funeral last year, RIP Claude, I still cry when I hear this tune
My brothers all I have in this world. FINALLY got him into rehab. Thank God for I knew he wasn't gonna make it if he didn't. Sooooo relieved. I know he's got a long road ahead but he ain't gonna go it alone.
What a great brother you are Warren. All we have in this life are our brothers to keep us strong. Love my 2 brothers so much x wishing you luck :)
Praise Jesus, this song always makes me lean into when HE told me HIS yoke is easy and burden is light. Then I think of myself carrying my own cross. I know I never walk alone. Thank you Jesus.
Have mercy.
Brenda Ruscigno Amen! All the glory to God. Jesus told us to love each other. If only we would all listen and follow Him. This song, though I know it is speaking of brotherly love, was dedicated to me around 1975 when I was ten years old by my oldest brother who is ten years older than me. It was the one time he ever spoke sentimentally to me in my life, really. He was driving me somewhere in his truck and this song came on and he said "I dedicate this song to YOU, Rick.". I thought about it maybe a few times since then, but these past couple of days I've been pretty tired out. I recently developed some skin issues that make me itch greatly and one that is contagious, a staph infection. I am the sole caretaker of that brother I mentioned and our 88 year old mother. Both are crippled, my mom is bedridden and my brother is in a wheelchair. I've been really nerve wracked over it having the skin problems, afraid to give them a staph infection!! I don't get paid, exactly, to help them but my basic needs are met, so that's good enough for me. But God brought this song to my mind yesterday (and today) and I think it was to encourage me but also to remind me that my brother would have done the same for me, if the shoe had been on the other foot. He is reminding me BEFORE I get to thinking the wrong way, like being unhappy with the situation or something. It's been four and a half years since her stroke that made her crippled. My mom certainly deserves all the care in the world, she hallways been so good to us all. And they both are great patients, except my brother is a picky eater, having eaten in restaurants so much in his life! 😬 Anyway, your comment was the first I saw that mentioned Jesus, and I appreciate that. People wonder why this world is the way it is, and it's simple--they ignore God or do worse, actively behave opposite of His ways. Lately, I've been putting on most all of my comments the statement in the quotes below at the end of this reply. It's my way to present what I've learned to others. IF they want to hear it, they can click on it. Thanks for your comment. God bless you. ☺️🙏

My brother had a bad accident. He is in the hospital, not doing good. He is my baby brother,the kindest soul you would ever want to meet.his wife left him while he is struggling to survive.his two sons never went to see him. But I will never ever leave him. I was there everyday for him, feeding him caressing his hurt forehead and telling him I love you brother. People couldn't find time to see him. I cried the first time I saw him there but I caught myself, so as he wouldn't, notice. His own family abandoned him, but I never will, just as God, our sweet Lord Never will leave his side or anyone. And no, he ain't heavy! Love to everyone who is going through the same thing.
It was never a burden to have a big brother with special needs. It was hard, cause I learned the world was cruel, and I learned what worry really was, long before the kids my age. But he was never a burden. I learned more from him than anyone else. I wouldn't be who i am without him. Its been 8 years since he passed away. Its harder to walk this path of life without him. I miss you brother. Every day. Love you Dannyboy.
This is in Memory of My Brother Tuckers 67th Birthday today.He was the Real Deal,and I had several Brothers.You were Never Heavy Bro.
I chose this song for my brothers funeral, miss you bruv... gone but forever in my heart x 😢
Chrysti Horler'cumby playing it at my brothers funeral to.May your's RIP
Played this beautiful song for my dear brother at his funeral too...sincerely beautiful lyrics...
so sad 💔
If this song doesnt pull on the heart strings of brotherly love, there cant be another that comes as close, as this one. Go ahead, hug your neighbour, or the person beside you, the one if any, that's listening to it at the same time as you are.
Mynamerenataazevedomybrthersisverymuutodoenterezem
Yes Jane...we should all do just that. " Faith..hope...and love...but the greatest of these is love. "
This song reminds me of all the memories of me and my dad who passed in 2016 when I was just a little boy but I'm all grown up now I just wanna see his face again.
Lord pls help me and my family💖
Such a beautiful amazing song I fell in love with hearing it at work, my coworker was chopping veggies and she’s playing this on her phone, a few of us were in the back since we had downtime and just started dancing and laughing and talking. It was fun and beautiful. I’m thankful for this amazing and fun wild life I have even with all my downfalls I still shine.
Hi Victoria 💐💐
Every time I listen to this song brings tears out of my eyes
When I listened to this song I cry
So many of us in the see boat
Me too, Bertha Alvarado.
I'm grateful that I grew up in the 1960s with music like this to feed my soul. When I listen to the junk young people have today, I am not surprised so many of them are unhappy.
lots of great music today. THe only decline in music has been what they choose to market. The only difference now is you gotta dig!
What a timeless classic this song is! And what a powerful loving message it sends!
!00%
My brother bought this single for me when it came out. He was found dead last Friday. An alcohol & gambling addict. I love & miss him so damn much
Beautiful song with very beautiful lyrics and meaning!!
My brother died today and this song helped me cry. Thank you Hollies
One of the most inspired songs I've ever heard. Whoever wrote it deserves our praise.
bwanna23 the music was written by Bobby Scott, who also wrote A Taste of Honey.
The lyrics are by Bob Russell, who had a long career writing songs for movies. Probably his most famous collaborations were with jazz great Duke Ellington, “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore” and “Do Nothin’ Til You Hear From Me.” In my opinion, though, his finest collaboration with Ellington is the lesser known “I Didn’t Know About You.” Listen to this exquisite recording of it by Ella Fitzgerald:
ruclips.net/video/k-Y1x4v6ZFM/видео.html
“He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” was the last set of lyrics Russell ever wrote. He died of lymphoma shortly after finishing the song.
Lost my uncle this past June, we played this at his funeral. We all love you so much boy & miss you so much. We think about you everyday & we will NEVER forget you. RIP ❤
I have lost my two brothers, r.i.p.mike and Cor. Love you both forever!❤️❤️
mike cor lov u too jimmy in nyc peace
I lost my Brother on May 1st, I so wish we could have helped him but we couldn't no matter how hard we tried. He was the most gentle, kind, person you would ever wish to meet and wouldn't harm a fly. My Sister, Brother and I played this song in his funeral and we meant every word. I miss him so much and wish he was still here with us. Miss you big bro, I hope all the pain has now gone and you are happy once more, till we meet again xxx
This song I think I'm my true brothers that took some of my weight many times when i needed it. No matter what it was, their main concern was me and not what they had to do. I thank God for these men in my life, am truly blessed. When I call them brother I mean he's my brother.
This is dedicated to my half brother Steve Hernandez. He passed this november......3 days after my step nephew. May he rest in peace. Till we meet again Bro.I luv u n miss u. I think about u so much Bro. See u in Heaven wen I get there.
So sorry for your loss Martha...I am very close to my brothers...stay strong xx
My uncle was my dad's most favorite person on the planet. The world didn't deserve a man like him. He was too great. When I need time with him, I grab a beer, sit on my deck, and play this on loop
No comment because it is too difficult to comment on a masterpiece like this.
Im in the same boat, by reading all these comments brought tears in my eyes, RIP my son. thanks Hollies what a great song
My Brothers untimely Death...GOD, I truly miss him! Gary, I love you and miss you so much!
I truly believe that we will be together again. In our perfect world that our Heavenly Father creates for all of his loved ones.
UNTIL THEN, "RIP" BROTHER.🙏
He is a kind, merciful god. You’ll see your brother again one day ❤️
@@tedwilson8719 Thank you for your comforting words.
GOD BLESS YOU.🙏✌️
So sorry for your loss. He will be waiting for you in Heaven. God bless you.
God reminds me of this song whenever I feel I’m a burden to Him. Although He is my Father (and not my brother), He has carried me through many hardships and difficulties. I am so grateful for Him 💜
When my Dad left us my older brother raised me.I would crawl across a mile of broken glass for him to come back to life for a day.I miss him so much.
God loved the world so much he gave his only begotten son. This song will put a tear in your eyes. IMO A true Christian understands this song because Christianity is a brotherhood. Be blessed
Love this song reminds me of my two brothers I have lost, Mike who sadly died of cancer in 2016 and Chris who sadly died in a motorbike accident in 1993 miss you both so much! Make sure you look after my baby boy for me until I get there xx
Reminds me of my brother that passed away 6years now and still miss him so much he died of cancer they say the lord only takes the best and he was the best R,I, P my brother
This is for you Jr John H Neeley Jr. Rest in peace in my heart always
He was and always will be my Big brother miss you so much don't know how much more I can take or handle the last one to much to handle
Any more
My late husband loved this song...he was in the Army..a very young man...we met and of course he shared his experiences with me and my heart broke. We were young 18yrs. We married and have 2 sons. I loved him with all my heart ❤️ 😊
Last song on my grandads funeral on Tuesday 3 January 2017. Happy new year everyone
My brother is the GREATEST PERSON I HAVE EVER KNOWN. I am so proud of u Cameron. There are no words but this song comes close
i dedicate this to my older brother who died at birth. Im the eldest of three with two younger sisters. It would have been cool to have you growing up with me David. R.I.P
I believe that if i heard this song a million times , it would still completely blow me away every time i heard it.. A masterpiece.
The first time i heard this it was in my Xbox 360 music library, no clue how it got there but it always stuck with i never forgot it and now in my teen years its a song that will carry me into adulthood. thank you.
My cousin passed a few years ago and this was one of the songs we played at his funeral. Sitting here now listening, having the worst time and just wishing things were different and I could do things better. I miss you Robert, see you again one day xx
This song is so perfectly written. I think I feel this exact same way in many ways. My brother is a drug addict. God I hope he gets the help he needs before it's too late.
I just prayed for your brother's recovery he will be just fine jimmy in nyc
Has he recovered?
Too all my brothers who have served , are serving and will serve this beautiful country. God bless us all.
Me dads favourite song love n miss u RIP DAD
love your dad too jimmy in nyc
I dedicate this song to my brother who passed away last 23 this month.. i love you so much and i will always remember you. I miss you. You are in the hands of our Almighty God now..
A song that didn't make much sense to me in my pre teen years, but now that I am older, a very meaningful song.
What I wouldn't give for a time machine. I grew up in the 80s and that was the last fun era. The world sucks now! I want to start in the 50s and go forward. Great cars and music and a much better time .
This song reminds me of my dead grandad who always sing this to me but by the time I was 10 he was deaf and blind so he had to stay in bed till he had a heart attack and his last words were "can you play at my funeral 'he ain't heavy he's my brother' for me" I cry when ever I hear this song😭.
love you too grand dad jimmy in nyc
More relevant and more powerful than at any time in history. Love it still after decades of listening to it❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾
DAMN, THIS SONG brings me memories of my faithful dog, BLACK, who died out of age related complications two years ago, he began to lose control of his limbs during some strange seizures in which he walked around the house, as in a trance, until i stopped him and laid him to rest...i used to walk him in a big place i have with trees and grass he loved since he was a puppy along with LAIKA and CANELA, but at the end of the walk, we had to climb a big stair upwards, so i carried him in my arms,and this song came to my mind and i sang it for him, he laided his head on my shoulder and together got home, this lasted for two months until he could not sleep because of the seizures, vet could not do much to hel him, so i had to put him to rest for good... days later, i found myself climbing those stairs again singing this song again and, for a moment, felt his presence in my arms ,which were in the same position that i carried him home and for the fist time since he died, let my feeling of loss to show...thinking to myself, i never felt his weight when i carried him , i was always eager to do it, just for him, for both of us... thanks for sharing this masterpiece, man....
+EKO EKO AZARAK This made me cry, i am sorry for your loss and you did such an amazing job to look after him but at least he isn't in any pain now and he will be in your heart forever :)
Thank you for sharing that wonderful and personal story, it really touched my heart ad made me think of my dearly departed cat Vinny....Blessed are the animals!
+EKO EKO AZARAK very touching story.
Beautiful thing to write my friend. Very symbolic meaning some music has!! And to add to the person, and there life experiences which can make one relate to a certain song or music. And to personally harness those feelings and emotionally engage them to a time when it resonates in yourself is a special feeling. I too am an animal lover, (especially a dog lover) And I get it. Was nice nearly finishing a beautiful bottle of red, listening to this, while reading a beautiful but heart breaking story.
+EKO EKO AZARAK
Very hard to let go, I know. This song means a lot to me too.
Thanks for sharing your story and I wish you all the best and strenght. He is in good hands now
This is my brother song...he is very like with this song, i am remember my lovely brother...he died almost 3 years ago...i miss my brother.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother... The hollies song..
Listening to this song makes me think of my brother like how would I be without my brother.
Good hearted service to humanity is service to God. This song is stellar!!! Thank you!!!
Wow. The only thing that is making me feel more emotional than the song is the comments section.
Bless you all ❤
They played this at my brothers funeral ...
Still get emotional when I hear it . Peace be with you all 🙏🏻
Remind me of when I lost my uncle at the age of 9, played at his funeral, all love cliff x
This classic song is profound and will never get old. I think of my brother Ross who died of cancer. And my three nephews who when one was suffering with leukemia the others rose to the occasion. Out of the two one was a match for a bone marrow transplant. I am so proud of them!
Always reminds me of my older brother. As a kid he took the blame for my younger brothers accidental vandalism(he kicked a stone and it smashed a window) and because he was older than us and had a job he paid for it though he was only about 16/17 himself. Sometimes he would take the blame from our dad when me or my little bro where too terrified (he was a scary guy) and take beatings for us. Three of us shared a bedroom and he would make us laugh as we fell asleep lol. I should appreciate him more, maybe that's why this song makes me sad?
Your brother is a blessing... ❤❤❤
You got an amazing brother by the sounds of it. I wish mine had been like that.
Wow, what a brother you have. Reminds me of Jesus. He too carried our sins on the cross. He took the Romans’ cruel beatings and lashes on our behalf.
So tell him. While you can. Not all of us have that gift or chance.
Beatings? That is so sad
This song was mine and my brothers favorite song growing up. He was murder in 2017 I miss him sooo much he was my best friend. My protector everything. It so hard w/o him here. Died to early in life. I guess God needed another angel 😇😔in heaven. I'll c u in heaven Bobby Hunter
true he aint heavy carry him till the end of time he is my little bro rip big kev
It was my brothers funeral yesterday. This was the song we walked into. R.I.P Simeon Francis a brother, a father, a son, a friend, a loved one. I’ll be seeing you brother💕
Amazing song, and the best version that I’ve heard.
The original and best
@@Ontheballpaul72 correct
I've shared this as a tribute with a memory of my kid Brother, Don who we lost in May, 2011.
This song is definitely made with A big Heart, Soul and Love. Gets me everytime I listen to it. Truly one of the best!
This was the highest selling record the month I was born - October 1988 And I'm only hearing it for the first time today! Great song...
my brother is the most special thing in my life
Gerhard Gerhard me too!
This was played at my uncle funeral and every time I hear it I cry just thinking of him * I miss you Derek, thank you got loving my aunty *
uncle derek love you too jimmy in nyc too a great person peace derek
My dad's sister thought of this song when she picked up my dad's ashes from the funeral home twenty-five years ago. When I was told that it was the first time I smiled since finding out he had passed away.
Love the song, reminds me of my Brother we lost last November 2021. Missing him lots 🥲 love you little Brother 💙
