This song is based on a true story from a place called Boystown orphanage in Omaha Nebraska. A priest named Father Flanigan started the place in 1917. In 1918 a boy named Howard Loomis was abandoned by his mother. Howard had polio and wore heavy braces and it was difficult to go up and down the stairs. The older boys used to carry him up and down the stairs. One day, Father Flannigan asked one of the boys, Reuben Granger if carrying Howard was difficult. Reuben said, "He ain't heavy, Father...he's my brother" In 1943 Father Flanigan was reminded of a photo of Howard Loomis being carried that was in a magazine. The magazine gave Father Flanigan the permission to use the image which is now a statue of Howard being carried by one of the boys and has the quote He ain't heavy he's my brother on it. That's the origin of the phrase. The statue is still there.
Thanks so much for sharing that ! I was never quite sure what it was really about.
Thank you for sharing. I did not know that;-)
Very true I live in Lincoln Ne .
Yep
I have visited Boys Town and what you say is all correct. Hearing this song puts a lump in my throat. Good info.
We DO need songs like this today. They inspire people to be better.
In 2024 it's good to See young people listening to Great 🎶 🎵.
We really are ALL BROTHERS & SISTERS.
As a songwriter, I wish that I had written this song. It is not about brothers, or soldiers, or friends; it is about the whole world, and helping the poor, destitute, homeless, and disenfranchised.
❤❤❤
Yes, the late 60's and early 70' middle 70's were the best!
Has had me in tears since the 60s, every time. A hymn to love, caring and friendship. Sublime .
We all need each other as humanity
This song came out in 1969 and still carries just as much relevance today.
My lovely 80 year old aunt took care of her brother for 7 years before he died. I asked her if she ever heard of this song...she told me yes, in addition to prayer, she thought of it almost every day.
I get chills every time I hear this. Allan Clarke had a magnificent voice. He turns 80 next April. The song's message is one of peace and supporting your fellow human.
Yes, brothers, I think your reaction to this classic song is correct. I believe it is a message about brotherhood, that we need to embrace our “brothers and sisters” who come from different places, backgrounds and life experiences, not consider them a “burden” or treat them with disrespect or, worse, hatred. It’s a message that is as relevant today as when the song was written. Thank you so much for this reaction.
How come they and others have been singing about togetherness for this long and some people still don’t get it?
'The Air That I Breathe' is another good one by them.
Written in 1969 by Bobby Scott (music) and Bob Russell (lyrics), when Mr. Russell (1914-1970) was dying of lymphoma. Elton John was the session pianist for the Hollies' recording.
This song is in my heart since the day I first heard it . I just love it ❤️🎶 And Alan Clarke is such a magnificent singer.
One of my all time favourite songs!
I’m glad you like The Hollies. Try The Air That I Breathe please. It was my mom’s favorite song and we played it at her funeral a couple weeks ago.
Yes,beautiful song. So sorry for your loss. Whenever you hear it now, it will remind you that she's with you. ❤
Best love song ever!!
I love this song so much. The Hollies are right up there with The Bee Gees in my book. And thank you to one of your followers about the origin of this song. Wow. Makes me cry. Thank you for your reaction! I love your input. Thank you.
The Air that I Breathe, is Beautiful...try that one too
Indeed... "He's my brother" applies to our fellow human beings. 🥰
The Hollies are still performing and appeared in the city next to my hometown. What I can gather his voice is still incredible. One song that has the tears running down my face.... ALI GREEN. HOW CAN YOU MEND A BROKEN HEART. George get the tissues out. Refreshing to see a guy show his emotions.
I'd be proud to have you two as Sons.You are a credit to your Parents.God Bless.
One of the best band of the 70s. Well done boys. You have excellent taste. Love your genuine reactions and feel for good old fashion music.
Bro's, their "Long Cool Woman" must be next for you!!! (Banger) Then "The Air That I Breathe", "Bus Stop" and "Carrie Anne"
And “The Day That Curly Billy Shot Down Crazy Sam McGee”
Hollies were forned in Stockport, Greater Manchester northen England, where I came from. Great group.
A great group from the 60's and 70's. This is such a beautiful and memorable song, one that you can't forget. The song was released in 1969. My brother describes a strong person, either emotionally or physically who uncomplainingly provides support for someone, may be a BROTHER or maybe just a friend or even an acquaintance who is finding it more difficult to make the same journey. Other winners by the Hollies are LONG COOL WOMAN IN A BLACK DRESS, THE AIR THAT I BREATHE, CARRIE ANNE and ON A CAROUSEL.
the anthem for all men, beautifully sung
There's more than one origin story for the phrase, the one I heard first and like best:
This happened at a famous orphanage in the U.S. "Boys Town", this place was said to not be like the horrible orphanages of the time. The man who started it was named Father Edward Flanagan. One of the Resident boys was seen carrying a boy with polio up the stairs. Father Flanagan says something like, he must be heavy. I don't know why but this brings me to tears pretty regularly.
We are all brothers and sisters
Nice one lads… other Hollies song “Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress” is a banger as well.
Our favourite...
Became something of a civil rights anthem, speaking to the brotherhood of all, that humanity is all one family.
Magnifique dans mes souenire c etait vraiment les bonne chansons dans mon temps xxxxx
They ain't heavy, they're my BroAction Dudes!!
This is a beautiful song and one of the Hollies' best I think. The Hollies were a fabulous band with loads of great songs such as Bus Stop, The Air That I Breathe, Look Through Any Window, Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress and Carrie Anne. They were from the 60s and 70s and were often on Top of the Pops in the UK. Had quite a few of their singles. Thanks so much for this reaction, guys, cheers.
I can see in your faces the same emotions I felt listening to this,that I felt when listening to this with my own brother. It's meaningful as it is when feeling the song in it's intended meaning, of looking at all as a brother...but much more so when you have your own brother there.
Yes,.Best songs from the UK, the most talented and orginal...wow wonderful.
I've always loved this band I had 4 older brothers that all played music during the sixties and my oldest brother this was one of his favorite bands they made a number of great songs but I had 2 brothers that passed away 3 weeks apart and we played this at their funeral my oldest brother wasn't supposed to die but this is a hard song for me to listen to but I'm glad you guys reacted to it because it's a beautiful song Keep spreading the music around guys God bless I needed a cry today ❤
The brotherly nudge and the smiles that followed was just lovely.
George, Patrick, you will definitely enjoy "the air that I breath" from the Hollies
Allan clarke what a singer
Such an incredible song. Chills up my back. The goodness in humanity. 💖
The title of this song originated from a story in a 1884 book, in which a young girl was seen struggling to carry her younger baby brother. Upon being asked if she was struggling, she said "He's not heavy, he's my brother".
A story much similar to that has been posted in many books and magazines since, all through the 20th century. The origin of it has been changed so many times, from a soldier picking up a fellow solider, someone helping their disabled brother, I've heard so many different ones. I'm not sure if it was specifically written about soldiers but I think it's an accurate interpretation.
Help your fellow man, you may need their help one day. Lift each other up, no matter how heavy they are.
It's possible about the story but the one about Boys Town has three names specific to the event.
The 1884 book anecdote was about a little Scottish girl who replied "He's no heavy, he's ma brither." The Hollies, being British, would have more likely been aware of that anecdote than the American Father Flanigan story.
Beautiful song about empathy and compassion for your fellow man. Wish you had done the studio version. The words stand out more. Great song. Many covers done of it by various artists over the years.
I love this song so much
Glad you liked it. my generation's music. I love your reaction
What a smash-song from the Hollies forever! Thanks "BroAction" all time from Germany!
Lovely song, great performance, thoughtful reaction.
Beautiful live vocal.
We are all brothers.
Other great music by the Hollies are: All I Need Is The Air That I Breathe, and Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress.
Thank you for bringing this back into my listening.
Oh gosh yes he can hold a note ❤
Such a great song that stands the test of time.
To me the road is life, & we should help our brothers & sisters through life with us.
Thank you for reacting to one of my favorite songs!
I prefer the studio version, it’s worth the reaction.
A great reaction to a beautiful song about caring and love for someone like a brother and being there for them unconditionally. Carrying their burden metaphorically if need be, as the lyric said: "And the load
doesn't weigh me down at all. He ain't heavy he's my brother." This song always makes me emotional with the awesome lyrics and the poignant harmonica.
This was played at my Husbands funeral for his 5 brothers, and one of my favourite songs xxx
Glad I grew up with this type of music...........
❤
When one dies then it makes everything RIGHT.
Studio version is even better.
We’re all brothers and sisters under the skin!
VERY true!
Did you know that Graham Nash was a member of the Hollies.They disagreed about the direction their sound was going,and he left,and went to the US.
Crosby,Stills,Nash,and Young were to be his destiny.
Yes, you definitely hit the nail on the head! This song was not just about your brothers by blood, but about your brothers on the battlefield. If you never served in the military, watch some war movies from the sixties and seventies. There were a lot of great war movies that got the message across. I definitely suggest The Green Berets with John Wayne and David Jansen which also sprawned a top hit song in the mid 60's.
You are so right Bro, this song was very popular with the soldiers during many conflicts around the world.
First one in love this song brilliant love ur reactions much love from uk
You bros. never fail to impress me. I would be happy to call you both my friends. You are both so honest and the love you have for the music is incredible. Great reaction!!!
Thank you for your genuine wise respectful reactions. You both are great! Thank.youfor your work
❤His welfare is my concern! ,,,gets me every time ❤,
A true classic from one of the greatest bands of all time.
One of the most uplifting, inspiring and hopeful songs of the '70s. It captured the feeling of the era - love for each other, caring for each other and supporting one another. The only effect that was used on vocals back then was a little bit of reverb.
hollies were great -one of the great instantly recognizable voices of the 60's-you MUST do
long cool woman in a black dress
bus stop
carrie anne
the air that i breath
on a carasell
stop stop stop
etc....long cool woman rocks -very famous in the states-huge hit
This song will be played at the end of my funeral service. Not only a message for my two sons but my statement on what life on earth is really all about.
Hello Bros thank you for posting this classic. I grew up with this awsome song'
Hey Guys .. Patrick I want ur shirt .. really!!! Eagles is my #1 band. Great reactions to an awesome song .. y'all r so on point. Very beautiful harmonies & melodies .. luv luv! Y'all b safe & well ... Peace Out ✌🏼🤘🏼❣️
I forgot how beautiful this song was. Thanks.
One of my very favorite songs-thank you!
This is the Sixties one of the Pop music Top Ten shows very popular in England then.
This was from a time when we were all insisting that everyone was our family. We called each other brothers and sisters. Special time.
What a beautiful song from a fantastic band. His voice is amazing. Knew it would touch you George.
I love Bus Stop by them, after Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress, of course.
Their "The Air That I Breathe" is the best love song ever...check it out.
It’s hard to find a male only group that has harmonies as good as The Eagles, or CSN, but The Hollies are a match
Crosby, Stills and Nadh
Great song…..yes, soldiers. Also, Where Have All The Flowers Gone……haunts my childhood. Vietnam war era. Church like sound.
The Hollies were founded by Graham Nash who went to to Crosby, Stills and Nash (later joined by Neil Young too). But the main song writing talent in the band was Graham Gouldman. Bus Stop is a great song written by Graham
Absolutely on-point reaction. Well done, lads! We all need someone to carry us from time to time.
This is from the time of the Vietnam War. In the song, one soldier carries another, who is wounded. They are far from safety and help but all troops fighting there see each other as brothers.
He carries a great weight but says " he ain't heavy, he's my brother"
Thanks bro's! I was excited to see you were reacting to a Holly's song! Graham Nash from Crosby Stills Nash and Young was one of the original members of the Holly's. They had a LOT of great songs! A couple suggestions, "Carrie Anne" "Stop stop stop" "On a Carousel" Always fun to watch you two!!! Thank you!!!!! 👌❤
Gamarjoba brothers, madloba! Perfect that y'all should react to this timeless and always timely classic, being very brotherly brothers. I am relieved also that you realize they are talking about our fellow human beings, for whom we also need to care, and carry...like soldiers, only every day as soldiers of life...fighting to keep the light of hope lit, to live another night.
Happy holidays to you and your family.
Whoop Whoop!!!! So nice to see you do another great song!!!! ❤️
When a brother carries a burden or challenge for another brother without expecting something in return is beautiful. When a brother's unconditional love for his sibling is manifested one can understand what Jesus taught about having this kind of love not just for a brother in the faith but for mankind in general, Carrying someone else's trials is the ultimate achievement of good men.
Great message in this song ❤
Deep song. I always related it to one of ny brothers in particular. It is also about carrying one another as you described. We help each other along the road. Many great hits by the HolliesQ!
Brilliant 👏 brought back a lot of memories 😘
This cool, chill sound is what I call a 'belly rubber' where you can just sit back and relax to the music. Good reaction bros.
One of the greatest songs of all time, one of the greatest bands of all time.
Really great song to consider...Cat Stevens Sitting...really thought provoking and of course Cat's wonderful voice.
NICE REACTION BROS
“We are each other's harvest; we are each other's business; we are each other's magnitude and bond.” - Gwendolyn Brooks. Peace/JT
More than ever, we have to carry each other. Especially in time of war.
This definitely served as a bonding experience for soldiers in Vietnam, given the daily nightmare they were facing.
Love this song, great choice! There's a military tribute using this song that's a must see, will make you cry!
Helter Skelter by the Beatles is awesome! Also, an interesting story……totally different mood.😘I’ve heard this at funerals…..
Me Too
