THE HOLLIES-"HE AIN'T HEAVY, HE'S MY BROTHER" (W/ LYRICS)

[scotfab]

My brothers and I were very fortunate to have been raised at Boys Town. I was there when this song came out. It caused me to reflect on how lucky I was to have my three brothers with me through out life. I can remember reflecting on the words "there is no return" and how I'd feel about that later on. Well, it's "later on" now and I sure miss those carefree days. Here's to my brothers Ted, Russ and Damon. Love Scott

What a great song!! I hadn't heard it in years. Still rings true.

Poetry. It bypasses the brain and hits the lymic system. It feels soooo sad.

Is this after a battle like the Civil War? Viet Nam. Refugees? Brothers-in-arms?

Is this part of a film? It should be.

[honeys64]

Played this at my brothers funeral <3 this song and it still makes me cry :(

[rwells47]

@honeys64- God Bless you! Ron
