The saying is from Boy's Town and it's about taking care of each other like family. It's what Christianity often claims to be about, but actions speak louder than words.
This song's about 2 little boys, 1 in a Radio Flyer and 1 pulling it. When a reporter asked the little boy pulling it, if his load was heavy, the little boy pulling said, "He ain't heavy, he's my brother!".
What is it with all the religious stuff? The song is about someone who has so much love for his brother that he would do anything for him, or just about loving your fellow man. Why do people have to get so deep and spout off all this crap? Just enjoy the beautiful song and the words.....please x
@ginger8172 Sorry but some else brought up religion and I responded, this is about a mans love for his brother, it is a very moving song, better than any Hymn.
Beautiful song! Thank you so much for posting it. Boys Town is in Omaha, Nebraska & I used to live close to it. The Hollies were one of my favorite groups when I was a teenager. Thanks for the great memories this song brought up!
I just came here to listen and enjoy the music. God will sort it all out in the end. If you don't believe in God, then you don't have anything to worry about.
I BELIEVE IN GOD! THROUGH HIM IS THE ONLY PATH TO SALVATION. AND I BELIEVE IN AN AFTERLIFE ALSO. I'm a baby boomer and I've heard many of today's generation say what is posted here--me, I think you are taking a huge chance with your eternal life. But I don't put people down for their beliefs...I pray for them...peace be with you, I'm wishing you some thinking about this before it's too late. I also wish you love and harmony...sign me...an old hippie...keep the faith--whatever that may be
God created man in his image. Therefore, man IS God. To deny his existance is to deny your own existance. That is why non believers are so confused, lonely, and lost. They have no path in life. They know deep inside that this isn't the only life, but try to convince themselves it is, and in doing so, they don't stop to cherish the wonderful things in life, only the material aspect of it. Believers know that if this life is horrible at times, no big deal, an eternity in paradise awaits them.
@dirtydavy Non-believers are not confused, lonely or lost. We're very comfortable in the understanding that humanity as a whole, does not have the answers to everything. Though the advancement of science and medicine, the gray area that people cover with the idea of a god becomes smaller and smaller.
"“Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?” - Douglas Adams
@dirtydavy Please preach your crap elsewhere, Belief in God has caused more trouble on this planet than any other single cause. I am a non believer, my funeral will be an athiest Funeral, no religous crap being spoken over my body, and you are the one that is confused as you have a invisible friend, everything is clear in my head, I did not exist, then I was born and began my existance and when I die my existance will end......simple straight forward and no confusion.
@musicbruv Sorry but the trouble on this planet is not God, but the religions that claim God for themselves. More power to the atheist, you can believe in whatever you want. The atheist make a good argument but they are not all knowing. If me believing in God makes me feel better who is ANYONE to say different? Everyone comes to their own conclusions about God.
@elf2va Yep, man is the problem because there is no god, God was created by man because of primitve ignorance of the world around them that is why the bible describes the Earth as flat because man thought it was flat, he also thought the Earth was the centre o the solar system because that is how it looks to the uneducated. Your god has slaughtered 100's of millions of people according to your book of fables something Hitler could not even do, you need god because you are weak..pathetic
I have to agree with you 100 percent!!! When the europeans tried to teach Christianity to the Native americans, all they could say was it was story meant for children!!!
@musicbruv There is no God!! You have actually discovered this? Please don"t tell me that this is merely another opinion from someone who likes to be heard. Calling someone weak and pathetic because they believe in something is arrogance at it"s best. Your essentially calling yourself weak and pathetic for your own beliefs, congatulations!
@soooooo89 I was responding to this statement by some religous jerk......."Therefore, man IS God. To deny his existance is to deny your own existance. That is why non believers are so confused, lonely, and lost. They have no path in life"........ I am not confused lonely and lost, so who is being arrogant? Also I do think some one who has an invisible in a bit weak and pathetic, lonely and unhappy children can invent a invisible friend as a means of comfort, I can see similarities.
@musicbruv What"s wrong with people believing in something that comforts them and makes them feel happy? If only people were impervious to other people"s beliefs, then perhaps it would alleviate arguments.
@soooooo89 Nothing wrong with that untill they impose there belief on others through intimidation, beatings, touture and death, it has always been the case that followers of a god can be evil, it has happend through out history and still happens today, the Catholic church is a good example but not the worse, did you know they helped Nazis to escape Germany at the end of the war? people guilty of mass murder were welcomed by the Vatican, its an evil and hypocritical organisation.
@musicbruv I"m well aware of the religious conflagrations that have, and are happening, but the majority of these wars are caused by man that misinterpret their own beliefs. e.g. Koran. People believing they will be awarded with numerous virgins in the next life when they wipe bodies of the face of the earth. BS!! However, I was merely referring to the monotheists. If they believe in paradise in the afterlife, then so be it. I dont see the harm in comforting themselves in that sense.
@soooooo89 Does the bible say "thou shall not kill" ? that seems straight forward enough, how does that get misintepreted? yet millons have been slaughtered in gods name. As I have said nothing wrong with the comfort of believing in a afterlife unless it is imposed on others which believers had done and still do. in the inquisition church leaders announced that heresy was punishable by death usualy in a hideous and sadistic way, did they not read Exodus 20:13:?
@musicbruv Exactly!! "thou shall not kill", but yet they have killed! This is a misinterpretation. It gets misinterpreted through mans own selfishness, and causes them to relinquish their own beliefs. If only they had believed in these few words, and done as asked then these killings would not have taking place. Unfortunately this is the oppressive world we live in.
@soooooo89 Thou shall not kill cannot be misintepreted, it is a plain as the nose on your face, but religion needs to control people and death or threat of death is a good way to do that, other threats are burning in hell, or as a muslim told me reincarnated as a cockroach. Muslim extremist want to kill all non muslims so their belief has no opposition, total control over people. Nazism used the same tactics as the inquisition, toe the line or die, both were/are evil, god or no god.
@Sithlord703 That is fine if you need a friend, just keep it to yourself. BTW God let his own son die in agony yet killed people at Sodom and Gomorrah for enjoying sex, something your god gave us to enjoy, the man he allowed to escape then slept with his own daughters....nice loving god you worship!!
@musicbruv Why are you arguing about christianity on this video? It has nothing to do with christianity. Go argue on the athiest experience channel or something.
@Sithlord703 I was responding to some jerk who clamed this song was about gods love, I am a total athiest and I hate religion, if they dont wind me up then I will not respond.........and I LOVE this song. BTW it take 2 to tango
@dirtydavy Are you kidding me? "That is why non believers are so confused, lonely, and lost." Do you know that there are over 1 billion Hindus living their lives happy and prosperous? I don't know how many Atheist there are but I'm sure they have as happy a life as you. I have walked in both shoes, Christian and Atheist. I personally be I have a God, and I'll leave it at that. Remember DON"T judge unless you want to be judged.
@MrAcarine That's not the point as you well know. I may be wrong about his actual existence but no serious scientist believes jesus walked on water, healed the sick, or changed water into wine. He is mankind's biggest fraud.
@RegMartBau I like this song because of the words, have you heard "The living years" by Mike and the mechanics? if you have not then I would recommend listening to it.
this song can mean a lot of diff things 4 diff ppl...like my brow said 2 me"this is my song 2 u" im 23 and hes older than me..we ent always got along 2 gether in our life.and even tho i have fucked up sometimes and i ent done aswell in life as he wud have liked me 2 and we spent years h8in 1 another.he said hed always be there 4 me 2 help and protect me and pick me up and carry me if i ever needed him..no matter what
Dad, stop coming to me in my dreams with an angry face, PLEASE allow me to be angry, i have alot to be angry about.Enjoy heaven Dad, dont worry about me. We will all be together 1 day
It is a long road, after all, isn't it? What a beautiful, even philosophical, song (!); this was originally meant for Bill Medley, but, oddly, he turned it down. The Hollies then went on to do this superb rendition.
No shit!!! A good thing to know!! I hope like like hell it's true!!! I was just telling afriend that tthis song referred to the GI's in Viet Nam. Not too many ppl under the age of 55 know this!
The Hollies missed Graham Nash and they after he left, they were no longer the hit machince they were. Still, they came up with their three best songs after he left: He Ain't Heavy, Long Cool Woman and The Air That I Breathe.
For my bro (what I called him growing up because I couldn't say his name) - love you so much, you and I have each other no matter what else happens - you're a part of me.
Thank you to "The HOLLIES." This is the best song EVER. I don't care what type of music you like..This song, RELATES to EVERYONE.. This is HISTORY....
@SuperBenjiv For being honest? There's lots of reasons the world is full of horrors, but honest self-reflection is not one of them. Anyways I think you simply missed the point I was making:
Saying 'this reminds me of my dead brother', is entirely different from saying 'I dedicate this song to my dead brother'. Notice the difference?
@t0xicp0is0n you're the one throwing insults around like grenades, not me. So calling me a moron is really just ironic. think a bit before you act, that way you won't have to feel like an idiot in retrospect.
@harobmx123 so ppl arent supposed to believe in heaven, God, Jesus? if you dont believe, thats fine with me, personally a person can worship a head of cabbage named ralph for all i care, but why condemn ppl who do? It's a personal choice to believe or not. some of us choose to believe, so why does it infuriate you SO BADLY for ppl to choose to believe?
Listening to this today makes wish I had been able to spend more time with my brother Jon who found me after about 40 years. He died a year go this last December. So many years went by without him. A great lose to his children, wife , mom and me and children who just getting to know him. Jon miss you, You big Brother
This was the song that my Dad and his 2 other brothers carried their baby brother of 55 into the church. Died on boxing day fighting cancer. I loved you Uncle Stu
...fact is, folks, he now feels ready to take his place back in life, but he's frightened and still want's me to watch his back, (think I won't?). He Ain't Heavy...he's My Brother!.
I'm well aware most folks have worse tales to relate than I have but, although my own elder brother is still living, I still feel my own tale is pertinent. Six year's ago this Christmas he asked if he could stay with us, (he was an alcoholic), and he collapsed on Boxing Day...he was rushed into hospital and passed away twice during a stomach op, but they brought him back...he's been in a care-home since then, (the alcohol has screwed his brain up), but he's still my Bro, and I still love him ok?
this song is sad to me because everyone else has brothers and sisters and the only sister I have acts like she doesnt want anything to do with me. always been a "loner" and "outcast". sucks that i cant even be best friends with my sister. oh well. I'll continue talking to my pictures pretending they hear me. does this make me looney? LOL.
My favorite lead singer,beautiful man,great group:THE HOLLIES!!! Oh how I miss the long ago days of my youth,saudades and thanks for the memories.Love, always...
My bro used to sing this to me, he died 2008, thanks for posting it brought back some great memories, i look forward to catching up with him sooner rather than later.
my late brother used t sang me dis ... it brings tears to my eyes listening to dis.. d memries f me n him we dnt hv much but i will treasure it n will always remember it.. tour family i filled ur dreams...

I lost mt brother 2 yrs on Feb 28. He died in moms birthday and he was laid to rest on dad's birthday. U took care of him for 18 years. I miss him sooo..
My little brother (52 years old) was taken off life support today - died within two hours. Stroke, liver complications. Four children, two grandkids, twins on the way. I searched this song to comfort me. Ah well, life is life, isn't it?!
@lettykv Thanks. I am the eldest of ten kids. He was one of the youngest. Parents gone. I am now the patriach. My job is to comfort the rest and remain strong. I can, and I will.
i dedacate this to my big brother, who inspires me so much and to whom i hold close even though we don't get along sometimes he at times is my hero. love ya gizmo. blackheart.
My brother turned against me when my mom became sick with Alzheimers. He blames me for my dad dying (from a stroke). We haven't spoken in YEARS and I really miss him. Maybe one day he'll see the light and know I've been here for him all along...
@MeandXYZ I hope for you the best. I would suggest trying to make contact though, you never know when it's too late and everyday is precious. I know because my brother committed suicide just 2 weeks ago. Your brother might be feeling very lonely like my one was :( x
This is in memory of my brother, William Timothy McCraw, who lost his 4-1/2 year battle to lung cancer on his 50th birthday, December 26, 2011. I love you Tim and it was nothing to carry you through to the end.
@TheMtdaisy bless u all I feel your pain I lost my uncle on the same day,also to cancer aged 43, this was one of his favourite songs may they rest in peace xxxxx
@thenewrevolution100 Bring him back to life then my friend....... give him a bell and wish him Happy New Year..... life is too short to fall out for too long. All the best :)
My Brother died in 2010. He was a Lear Jet pilot and such a great brother. I did the eulogy at his funeral and my final tribute to him was to play this song. I miss him but now he belongs to the ages. The last time I saw him I told him I loved him. He was a great brother.
Dad, i know how sick you were, i would call the va hospital to talk to you.Mom told me that you cried when you found out i was moving to Texas to be with Chuck in 1985, but daddy, it was time for me to start my own family. i hope to God i didnt contribute to what you did, if i did daddy, im so sorry.losing you was the biggest void in my life. it didnt hurt me when mom died, im sorry daddy, but it didnt.Me, Kelly, Kevin would have helped take care of you. I MISS YOU SO MUCH DADDY! I LOVE YOU!
My dad blew his brains out sitting infront of his parents house on his 50th birthday on aug 8 1992 .My youngest brother at the age of 16 was the 1 that found him,Took the Coroner over 2 HOURS to get there
@ibby183 I'm so sorry to hear that. My condolences to you and the rest of your family May God support you in this very heartbreaking time of your life.

It is a long road, after all, isn't it? What a beautiful, even philosophical, song (!); this was originally meant for Bill Medley, but, oddly, he turned it down. The Hollies then went on to do this superb rendition.

This song has ZERO to do with the military, it's based on a movie about father flannigan's orphange

The Hollies missed Graham Nash and they after he left, they were no longer the hit machince they were. Still, they came up with their three best songs after he left: He Ain't Heavy, Long Cool Woman and The Air That I Breathe.

You can't 'dedicate' a song that you didn't write, perform, collaborate in, or even upload anonymously!

@SuperBenjiv For being honest? There's lots of reasons the world is full of horrors, but honest self-reflection is not one of them. Anyways I think you simply missed the point I was making:
Saying 'this reminds me of my dead brother', is entirely different from saying 'I dedicate this song to my dead brother'. Notice the difference?

I'm well aware most folks have worse tales to relate than I have but, although my own elder brother is still living, I still feel my own tale is pertinent. Six year's ago this Christmas he asked if he could stay with us, (he was an alcoholic), and he collapsed on Boxing Day...he was rushed into hospital and passed away twice during a stomach op, but they brought him back...he's been in a care-home since then, (the alcohol has screwed his brain up), but he's still my Bro, and I still love him ok?
