The writer of this song was inspired when he saw a boy carrying his brother on his back. He asked the boy why he was carrying him, he said its his brother, he has polio and that he wasn't heavy. If only the world could remember the good ole days of caring for your brother.
I don't know that I've ever commented on this one Tara so I am going to do it now. This song fits Dean and Sam so well...and this song seems like it was specifically written for Dean. BTW---who is singing the song??
ok who here (along with me) can't wait to see what the newest "third" supernatural brother is all about? Hope Adam's going to be good for the episode...
I was googling for the lyrics to use in a (Dean!whumping)Supernatural fic (!), and found this! :D Very nice - especially to see all these old clips and the wee!Chesters!
The origins of this song come from back before there was a cure for polio. The writer of the song saw a 12 year old boy carrying his brother who had polio on his back. He ask him if was heavy and the 12 year old boy look up at him and simply said "he ain't heavy he's my brother" hence the song.
Just love it so badly!!! We sang this when we ended 5th grade and we really loved each other so I always cry when I hear this song. It means so much to me! Thank you^^
mark this is from me to you ,where you lay your hat thats my home m8 allways will be,allwats hav been ya ,where ever you you are oz or not , you no wat i mean??????????
Hey.Check it out.Roe Fulkerson wrote a artical in 1924,in it he recounted meeting a young boy carrying a small child towards a near-by park.He asked"'Pretty big load for such a small kid' I said as I met him. 'Why, mister,' he smiled, 'He ain't heavy; he's my brother"..What war are you people talking about?WW1,civil,spanish-american.How does one"carry" a corpse home from battle?Just my two cents.
It makes sense when you download the lyrics, then when I downloaded them and read them I cried even more. The line "His welfare is my concern" did it.
wow i was so waiting for someone to do a vid to this song. Yes it so could be about them. And just at a bit of trivia for you. The song is actually based on a true story, about a man who carried his dead brother home from war. Just thought you would like to know. Great job!!

Perhaps the teacher includes poetic license in the curriculum? Mark Twain did not speak in the same language that he wrote many of his works. ;-P

You realize of course, that I was referring to the fact that the title of the video is, "He's not heavy" instead of "He aint heavy".
That was the joke.

Can someone fill me in on the story behind the song coz I didn't know that and I think this song was out in the 60's during the Vietnam era...
