The Air That I Breathe By The Hollies

[jason69332]

man takes me back:)

[rgracia633]

Just have to listen to the Hollies to know that musicians today suck!

[andrejurado]

DAMMN! SOUNDS JUST LIKE 1993 RADIOHEAD... ANYBODY ELSE??!!

[BobTheMunificent]

97% of all music has always been shit...

[druther530]

further correction...peace came upon me and it leaves me weak. Weak is is a close rhyme to sleep in the next line.

[druther530]

correction...making love with you has left me peaceful warm and TIRED. "Inside" doesn't rhyme.

[HotHamWater281]

Still waiting for someone on American Idol to take on this song. With the right voice it would blow everyone away.

[ekkybo]

what A LOAD OF SHIT THIS IS THE BEST THING TO THE BEATLES ONE OF THE BEST EVER JUST LISTEN MAGIC

[jaymontone]

@jasperwoods, you're right

[jasperwoods]

Creep sounds like this a bit

[LarryFogarty]

was that bobby elliot on drums....dus not look like him

[NewHopeNashFan]

I am a mega Graham Nash fan and a big Radiohead fan. This song bored me when it came out, because it was too MOR. Bland. The only thing that ever saved it was when Nash and Clarke sang it during the reunion.

Long live Radiohead - I think the quote was apt.

[heymaryann1]

@NewHopeNashFan It obviously doesn't bore you too much bec you deliberately went to this video! All you do is go to post-Nash Hollies videos to trash them. How pathetic! Luckily this song didn't bore many others as I'm sure you know, it was a world-wide hit. The reunion tour with Nash wasn't though, was it?

[NewHopeNashFan]

@heymaryann1 1980's music was then in vogue. People only came to the Hollies concerts if they wanted to see the Nash reunion, since the Hollies might as well have fallen off the face of the earth once they stopped charting.

[whokeithmoon]

@NewHopeNashFan THATS BECAUSE YOUR AN IDIOT.

[heymaryann1]

@whokeithmoon Anyone whose user name is whokeithmoon & tells it like it is as you did here, is ok by me!!

[whokeithmoon]

@heymaryann1 anybody that likes Joe Merello , plus the band is ok by me to..

[NewHopeNashFan]

@whokeithmoon I love Radiohead and Graham Nash because of their level of intelligence. Think of me what you will, it doesn't change my assessment that Radiohead is brilliant and this song puts me to sleep as much as it did when it first came out.

[delabarca100]

Albert "genius" Hammond!!

[jayash76]

You really need to look at the accuracy of those lyrics. It's "peace came upon me and it leaves me weak" and "has left me peaceful, warm and tired," which, of course, rhymes with "nothing left to be desired."

And it's "So sleep, silent angel. Go to sleep."

And, god, I don't even want to get into that swamp of a first chorus you've got there. Where'd you get these?

[countceprano]

@jayash76 : thank you.

[fussycat7]

I love you Mo.  I can't breathe without you.

[keefyd5]

heymaryanne,was relating Nash with the Hollies rather than the song but thanks for the trivia.tho indirectly he did have something to do with the hit, in as much of the influence he had on the way the band had that unique sound

[NewHopeNashFan]

@keefyd5 It's because of the middle of the road approach to music the Hollies took beginning with the Dylan album that the great Graham Nash threw up his hands and left, taking the real Hollies sound with him and grafting it to the legendary CSN.

[heymaryann1]

@NewHopeNashFan Previously you claimed Nash left bec he wrote all the Hollies hits yet Clarke & Hicks stole the credit for them. You're obviously not a Hollies fan if you can make that kind of accusation! I think Clarke/Hicks would also be interested to hear that Nash took the Hollies sound with him! Clarke's voice & the Hollies harmonies are the sound of the Hollies & it carried on after Nash quite successfully! NO ONE would confuse CSN with the far superior Hollies!!

[NewHopeNashFan]

@heymaryann1 Graham DID take the Hollies sound with him.  His energy level and timbre cannot be mistaken for anything else. I don't confuse even the Nash era Hollies with the brilliant CSN - which I actually prefer because Graham was actually allowed more musical freedom there. Again - this is a matter of OPINION. You can have Sylvester. He put me to sleep in the 1970's.

[ixis99]

Radiohead lifted the intro chord progression for "Creep".....quite a compliment.Think,"Radio Hollies"!

[1Auntyj]

I love this song. I was in love with someone and this was our song! Then he dump me!! His loss!

[keefyd5]

Graham Nash moved on to America forming Crosby,StillsNash and later Young.

How cool is that!!

[heymaryann1]

@keefyd5 Nash had left the Hollies in Dec. 1968 so he had nothing to do with this hit from 1974.

[Heusdur]

I like this song....the ppl dancing in this video suck.

[Tidefan324]

@Heusdur Eh, they're probably wasted outta their minds anyway.  ;)

[Heusdur]

@Tidefan324 Hehe....probably :)

[beatlestoneful]

@RacerXGTO they tend to do that dont they?then they wonder why....

[scm8487]

I like Creep better

[maritza4344]

@scm8487 tambien tengo hijos y asi como tu aprendiste a escuchar esta musica ,los mios tambien lo hicieron.eso es trabajo de padres , si en tu casa lo que escuchan es mierda luego tambien tu eso pondras

[60s4everanever]

I'm 14 and today's music is crap compared to these times. These guys could sing live and sing well, they sung with passion and are just plain amazing. People today can't do that cos of all the techno stuff used to change their voices and sounds. Music was 100 gizillion times better back in the 60s. : )

[jayrox40]

I'm sorry but music today is shit, unoriginal repetitive crap just used for making corporate profits. No heart, no soul, no passion!

[Stoolie33]

97% of today's music is shit.

[MrDerfinator]

@Stoolie33 Agreed.

[Stoolie33]

97.85% of today's music is shit.

[RayPaganJr]

Peace did not come upon me and it breathes in me. Not at all. It's "Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak." Get it right people.

[RayPaganJr]

99% of today's music is not shit. You just haven't been listening. I'm 53 and there is a lot more than pop music out their with a lot of good young talent. If you have the time to listen you will see that the percentage is 90% shit.

[jpauly65]

used to play this song over and over again a few year ago , i think it got b my al time fav luv it

[ghostlyme]

I think of this song when I think about my crush...

[Desertmulisha13]

TIMELESS.

[SymphonieDerJugend]

мαкιηg ℓσνє тσ уσυ нαѕ ℓєƒт мє ρєα¢єƒυℓ, ωαям αη∂ тιяє∂.

[mrianmark]

I photographed the Hollies in 77. To see the shots go to 70srockphotos (.com)

[shillbro]

LOVE this song!!!!!

[joesphx19]

@RacerXGTO

You speak for a lot of us, brother.

[TheTvrulesthenation]

Just waiting for the singer to break into "but I'm a creep

I'm a weirdo" it's uncannily like radioheads hit song creep

[spartacusvikinga]

@TheTvrulesthenation totally agree.

[zvictorone]

@TheTvrulesthenation yes indeed,oddment.

[puschelhuenchen]

i love this song:)

is so good

[reginaschaefer]

@RacerXGTO ditto here, about men...

[joesphx19]

@reginaschaefer

No way that most men have learned the fine art of taking everything that a person has and is, including his soul.

[ronninj]

Utterly gorgeous and evocative....also enjoyed enormously seeing Engelbert giving it plenty there in the audience!

[ghrpdx]

So much of today's music lacks the artistry that this song exudes.

[sasdavis]

I was heavily into underground hip hop as a child of the 80s and 90s but used to DJ in a local pub whilst still in school to earn money. I was paid to play 50s 60s and 70s music to an audience of my parents and their age group and I fell in love with the music! I'm not into music so much and my stomach turns when I see the idiots on X factor etc and people with little talent prancing around with pathetic dancers everywhere! Dumb public voting because he or she may have a sad story to tell?!! Sp

[alexman24893]

Alot of statements say the same things regarding these beautiful songs, "They dont make songs like this anymore", the truth is they don't, people don't care or write about deep and complex subjects like these in these songs, I mean it sounds surreal, but it sounds so beautiful, now days people write about meeting women, havinbg sex with them and following that cycle over and over again, how shallow and empty are they, i just feel sorry for them.

[inya1lake]

Brilliant song, fantastically sung.

[mariochem09]

One of the best songs!!

[countceprano]

The correct words are : "Making love with you has left me peaceful, warm and TIRED"

[filmerado]

Still my fav version until RAdiohead

[mariochem09]

@filmerado You are right!!

[compustrat]

@RacerXGTO

He's not talking about how chicks have all burned him. He just finished having sex, and he's saying that all he needs is her love...nothing more. If anything, he's saying that all any man needs is the love of a good woman.

Unfortunately, I'm gay...so I think the love of a good man would suffice for me. LOL

[markusfearn]

What a fantastic song!!

[63thekey]

involuntary breathing ...... versus voluntary breathing.... think voluntary wins hands down

[Oogienation]

Laus, don't be a "creep"

[Hemanoma]

laus102 you are special

[laus102]

I wish I was special...

[MERRYJERRYL]

sensual and romantic ..peace and love 

[MERRYJERRYL]

love......just love,,,something that the music today is surely lacking,,,this is full of love..

[geehowdy1]

Graham Nash of Crosby,Stills and Nash is a wonderful artist.

I agree with this song!!!

[backintheday1]

You just don't hear music like this anymore. 99% of todays music is shit!

[MERRYJERRYL]

@backintheday1 yes i agree with you so much!!

[bjbuschman2]

@backintheday1 I agree

[camilintgomery]

@backintheday1 I'm disagree. Just 98,5%!!!!

[ardvarkkkkk]

@backintheday1 Your father said the same thing. Think about it.

[whity72]

@backintheday1, yes, a load of crap. If we are lucky some artists like Travis or Katie Melua or a-ha write perfect songs and harmonies, but 99,99% IS crap.

[glanza58]

@backintheday1 I agree.

[Robdust]

@backintheday1 Sure you do... Radioheads "Creep" is a great copy!

[spicy85]

@RacerXGTO I understand your burnt out, but there still are good girls out there. Don't give up. Peace

[meiBraut]

he´s right.....just you my love

[balipityu]

Ez a szám is nagyon szép.

[MajorBlaster]

@RacerXGTO I was sick and tired of women too. The better I treated them, the worse they treated me. I had completely given up, and if anyone offered to set me up, I would decline. Then, at age 50, I met the girl of my dreams. She's never been married, and she's pretty, selfless, intelligent, hard-working and holy. And she appreciates when I spoil her. A year ago, if anyone had told me I should get married, I would have laughed in their face. Now I can't imagine life without her. Don't give up.

[RacerXGTO]

@MajorBlaster I haven't given up, I come to the realization the answer does not lay with American women.

[MajorBlaster]

@RacerXGTO Exactly right. My girl is Mexican. We just visited her family in Mexico over Thanksgiving. They're simple people, and I enjoyed every minute with them.

[Diddlify]

I love them x] 

[PacificEdibleSeaweed]

Oh boy oh boy does this resonate some memories, a time (could it be so long ago?) when life was simpler and we still a dreamy notions of the future..........

[daracenak]

Radiohead based all its career on this song. end of the story...

[jayrox40]

Lets just all enjoy this classic song. OK?

[dudemeisterSC]

@RacerXGTO I feel the same way as you..I'm so sorry that has happened to you, by the way..it freakin sucks..no matter what we do, they just spit on it all.

[lolumads]

talk about religion if people can open their eyes it is true that there is a supreme creator of the universe but creating all types of organization on how to worship our supreme creator making the person telling you have more power over you because you become their puppet that can control your mind ...in other words think about it because it is your Body and your Soul ...you are being exploited..

To be a believer I am my own religion my purpose in life is to be a good human being .....

[ExoticGawdess]

All I need is for the neocons like Condoleeza Rice to admit that they committed treason on 9/11 and that Condoleeza is a fckn moron for telling the firemen of New York that air around the Twin Towers was safe to breathe even though Lucky Larry pulled them with nano-thermite and put asbestos into the air with a controlled demolition. Too bad Condoleeza probably made a ton of money by lying about the air around WTC on 9/11.

Too bad that c*nt isn't dying of lung disease.

[rammsteinium]

@ExoticGawdess Condoleeza Rice is a woman of genuine integrity. She has given a great part of her life in public service to the citizens of the U.S. I regret that she is not running for the presidency. I only wish that more high-ranking public officials had her courage, ethics, and intelligence. (I feel foolish for getting sucked into one of these political posts on Youtube, because it is so crazy that some people use this site as a forum to vent political views--but I love Condi!)

[ExoticGawdess]

@rammsteinium

Rice doesn't care about Jennings, the black man who was murdered after he reported explosives going off in the basement of WTC7 and that he stepped over dead bodies in WTC7 long before Larry Silverstein pulled WTC7. Larry admitted pulling WTC7.

Why doesn't your wonderful Rice speak about these truths on tv. Your love for her is not blind, you are just a fool or a traitor.

[tomcthompsonjr]

@ExoticGawdess It takes a truly hate filled despicable person to post this kind of trash on a vid of a beautiful song. You should be careful wishing those kind of fates to people, they have a way of boomeranging on a person.

[ExoticGawdess]

@tomcthompsonjr

Give me a break, it's an occult song. He's wearing black pants and standing under the arc of the sun. The ark is the Jews' symbol of death. Zionist Jews make music to fill the air waves that celebrating killing non-Jews as a way of life. This song celebrates death. "Sleep silent angel" means the Zionists wish for good people to die.

Too many songs celebrate death and the desire to meet a god in death. What Zionists want is no resistance to their Global dictatorship.

[ilovefreedom80]

@ExoticGawdess you are a fool. Do you have any idea that it is ISLAM and it's followers that want to take over the world. I would rather the Jews did over and above ISLAM. Google 'the religion of peace'

Making a true difference in the world - one body at a time.

[yesihavenocigarettes]

Anyone know were the Hollies got their name?.....I just read a book where the hollies were actually ghosts or mysterious lights seen in Newfoundland.... I originally thought the band was named after a plant.

[yorkpattie1976]

Very beautiful! 

[frankho99]

Quite possibly the greatest sound in universal history.

[daracenak]

Radiohead based all its carreer on this song, end of story...

[ChalicoKiks008]

@kazishifu

creep sounds like this

[drummermizike]

@RacerXGTO right there with you bro

[fredperry65]

@RacerXGTO me 2 done it been there and oh how it hurts ......

[kazishifu]

[vikula1]

[vita63640]

I think the problem is usually the person - not all the people they try to be with lol

[tennisdawg]

that makes me sad, we are not all like that.

[foreverilze]

Maybe you just happened to try that not with right girl(s)....

[vita63640]

Cannot say as I blame you ;)
