I think it’s important to recognize that the lyrics aren’t about a literal brother but encourage you to see everyone as your brother or sister.

@sandgroperwookiee65 11 месяцев назад

Indeed 👍 ✌️❤️

@itchyandred4131 11 месяцев назад

@batmanforpresident9655 11 месяцев назад

Absolutely right ..The song is basically a religious song, as the title was based on The Roman Catholic organization Boys Town motto: "He Ain't Heavy, Father, He's M' Brother".

@bjm9071 11 месяцев назад

It is both. The original Boys Town photo showed a boy (Reuben Granger) carrying his friend (Howard Loomis) who had polio. When Father Flanagan asked Reuben if he was heavy, that was his reply. But of course it was a metaphor as well..

@SpaceCattttt 11 месяцев назад

Perhaps, but that's impossible. You can't care that strongly for everyone. However, if the song inspires you to care for the people in your life, then it's done what it set out to do.

We had a group that performed all those four-part harmony Manhattan Transfer songs. (I LOVE those.) And I was in my state's Men's Honors Choir. In that capacity, we performed this beautiful, beautiful song. A four-part male choir. Wonderful. I'll never forget it! Thank you for everything you did to help and support all those high school singers. I was one of those kids, and Choir meant the world to me!

Where the title came from: Back in 1918, a boy named Howard Loomis was abandoned by his mother at Father Flanagan’s Home for Boys, which had opened just a year earlier. Howard had polio and wore heavy leg braces. Walking was difficult for him, especially when he had to go up or down steps. Soon, several of the Home’s older boys were carrying Howard up and down the stairs. One day, Father Flanagan asked Reuben Granger, one of those older boys, if carrying Howard was hard. Reuben replied, “He ain’t heavy, Father… he’s m’ brother.”

The story in this song lyrics goes way back to 1918 and Father Flanagan the founder of Boys Town. Its the story of a boy named Howard Loomis who had polio and heavy braces. It was difficult for Howard to climb stairs, so usually one of the older boys would carry Howard on his back. Reuben Granger was one of those older boys. Father Flanagan one day asked Reuben if carrying Howard was hard, to which Reuben replied, "He ain't heavy Father, he's my brother". That phrase became the motto for Boy's Town. There is a 1938 movie called Boy's Town starring Spencer Tracy and Mickey Rooney.

@kilby714 День назад

Based on a true story about Boy's Town and Father Flanagan. Father Flanagan started a home for orphaned/troubled boys back in 1917. His philosophy was "There's no such thing as a bad boy." One day a young kid, maybe 10 years old showed up at the front gate, carrying his younger brother, maybe 7 or 8 years old. He'd been carrying him for miles to get to Boy's Town. When Father Flanagan tried to take the younger boy from the older boy, the older boy responded: "He ain't heavy, Father, he's my brother."

As many others will say, "The Air I Breathe" is a particularly good one from them. Those high, soaring harmonies allow them to really generate massive emotional impact. Some of their stuff was obviously recorded under some semi-primitive conditions, but the lo-fi nature of them just makes them more powerful. In the wrong hands, overly produced, etc... it could have just become sappy pap.

A wonderful song - a song of empathy and support - this and Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Trouble Water" (which came out the following year) between them make a magnificent pair of songs about love for your fellow human. The song which sold me on the Hollies is "The Air that I Breathe" - I was held in awe from the first soaring note, and still remember exactly where and when I first heard it. It should be your next Hollies hit!
