The Air That I Breathe The Hollies 

I think this guy is one of the greatest vocalist ever. This a wonderful song. ❤️🌹❤️

This is not a hippie song!! It was just a beautiful ballad done so well by the Hollies and their wonderful harmonies and singing making it a powerfully emotional piece of music.

"He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", can listen to it over and over.

Got to check out "Long, Cool Woman in a Black Dress".

First, it is pronounced Hol ees like the Holly plant. Second, one of my favorite songs. Everytime I hear it, it is stuck in my head for 3 or 4 days. The melody is very catchy, it is within most singing ranges and it is basically a simple song, well arranged. The Hollies were very influential as a band. They had Graham Nash in the band!! Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress was a huge hit as well.

This was a true love song back in my day It still gives me shivers and goosebumps

Just great guitar driven song with harmonies. You can't beat 70's music. I am glad I was around for all the different music this era produced.

Love this, my favourite tho is ."He ain't heavy he's my brother", even tho it makes me cry

"He ain't heavy he's my brother" is their best by far.

Yes we did like the groovy sound they laid down. Lol Far out man

Hi from Oklahoma! This takes me back to my childhood. My brother was a teenager in the 70’s and this music by far is the best! Rest In Peace my dear brother 🙏❤️

This was one of the best groups of the 60s. This is 1 of their best

The Hollies had this special place with the fans. A lot of groups vied to be proclaimed 'the new Beatles' by either claiming aloud the privilege or being dubbed by the PR people. All of them went down in flames one way or another. The Hollies never seemed to try to fill those shoes but arguably came the closest. They somehow stayed a respectable distance from that pinnacle and produced a number of very solid hits throughout the years.

My mom sang this song every now and then throughout my life. The real tearjerker is “he’s not heavy(he’s my brother).” The Hollies sued Radiohead bc “creep” allegedly sounds like this song. Won 10% royalties 🤷🏻‍♀️

I wasn’t a hippy and I loved it as did most of the UK. Great song!

Beautiful love song. The Hollies are wonderful. Yet another great English band. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Both my boys in college won contests who knew 70-80’s songs as I played them on repeat as I sewed/cleaned house during their youth. Now my oldest son is head chef at an Italian restaurant Primo in Indiana where they play the music I just mentioned. He told others it reminded him of me sewing/cleaning back in the day. They know great music. ☺️ Lodie

In the UK,only the Beatles had more top 10 hits than The Hollies.

Right on. I couldn't have said it better myself.

One of the original member of the Hollies [from Manchester, England] was Graham Nash, who left and joined Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

For info Graham Nash was in this band "The Hollies" ......Remember those Crosby Stills and NASH harmonies ?

Great song. Great band. He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother and Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress are other Hollies Great songs.

I've heard a lot of fine music in my 76 years of living, but this song is one I have loved since the first day I heard it. Still think it's hard to beat, no matter the era of music. Thanks for playing it. Btw, the group's name is pronounced the Hollies, as in the stuff you hang up at Christmas, not holy(s) as in the Holy Family!

Hearing you bring up the Little Rascals movie from the 90s reminded me of when my then two year old granddaughter came to me and asked "Please Grandma, can I watch The Little Assholes?" Funny what they hear!

The Hollies have so many hits. Amazing group.

This was my first Hollies song, heard it about 15 years ago. It sold me on their music. I never thought of it as a hippy song. It was 1974, love was still around. It builds momentum from start to finish and climaxes at the end. Some songs are constructed that way. This is one of them. Still sounds great today. I recommend "You're Young And You'll Forget" by Glen Campbell from 1967.

This is a great song. We use to play this at the beach in Santa Cruz, CA in the evening.

The Hollies vocals are always great

Long Legged Woman In A Black Dress (waiting at a) Bus Stop.

I loved this song so much , the harmony and the song itself so beautiful

I absolutely adore The Hollies, thanks for doing this one!

Lovely group. Their lyrics epitomised their humanity. So many great songs.

''He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" is my favorite song by the Hollies ,Elton John played piano on that song 😁

HI TY THE GUYS IN LOVECWITH THIS GIRL. THE GIRL AND THE AIR THAT HE BREATHES IS ALL THAT HE NEEDS. OUR SONGS HAD ALOT OF MEANING TO THEM. YOU DO A GOOD JOB THANKS

Listened to this often in the afterglow...and now to remember the afterglow in my aging!✌❤🎼

You're right about the hippies and I was one of them. LOL Those were the days my friend.

I love this song, it’s always in rotation on my playlist and gives me chills every single time I listen to it. Those lyrics are incredibly beautiful. Go for Long Cool Woman, that’ll give you a great idea of their range. Stay safe, great reactions btw. 💜🤘🏿💜 it was also the end song in Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World.

I was not a hippie but this is one of my favorites ever. The Hollies were a great band. What I got out of it was that all that I need is air to breathe, nothing else but her love. Simple but honest in its delivery. The seventies was my favorite song era. Things were honest back then and I miss those days very much, especially seeing what is going on in todays world. Sometimes I am glad I am old just so I can see the different world we lived in back then. Much better world then and I feel very bad for my grand children and my great grandchildren, which I have several, who have to live in todays world. One can only hope it gets better.

Thank you for this :) I forgot this song only because time and life make it possible for forgetting to be possible. I loved and still love this song.

The name of the band is pronounced "Hollies" as in Christmas holly. ;-)

"Hippies? Did you say hippies man? Haven't been any hippies for decades. You been living under a rock? Or doing hard time" quote from movie Heartbreak Ridge. Clint Eastwood and Mario Van Peebles. You talking about "Hippies" cracked me up. Thank you.

Now listen to "Bus Stop", "Carrie Ann", & "Stop, Stop, Stop" by The Hollies.

That brings back memories of high school..

My favorite of theirs is He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother...check it out! Thanks!

Ten years after.....if I could change the world

My parents used to have the vinyl record of this. Haunting song with an interesting and unpredictable structure.

That was one of those songs that I listened to Over and Over after a bad break up.

MAN 👨 THAT GUY CAN HOLD A NOTE 🎶, I GREW UP TO THIS SONG 🎧 AND MANY MANY MORE, WISH YOU YOUNGSTERS HAVE EXPERIENCED BACK THEN

Love your reactions haha. Starting my own reactions soon! Thanks for the inspo. Also this song is the best haha

I always liked this Band !!!

Outstanding group from my era...the best

long cool woman in a black dress is a great one.

I loved 'Bus Stop', and 'Too Young To Be Married '.

One of my favourites so thanks for the reaction..simple beautiful a great song that lingers long after hearing it, The Hollies had so many great songs Long Cool Woman is one of theirs that must be reacted to, so add that to your already massive list mate, Keep Strong Keep Safe My Dear Friend

100times agree to Long Cool Woman In A BlackDress! But I think our Renaissance Man would love and APPRECIATE their incredible song “He Ain’t Heavy (he’s my brother)”. An incredible message from a rock band. Beautiful and deep song. We need more of that in our world. They said it was the most important song they ever created. Also it was based on an overheard conversation from a child at a neglected, orphaned boy’s home. Priest saw one youngster carrying a handicapped boy and wanted to know if he needed help. He replied, “He is not heavy, he is my brother.” Very moving. I also love Bus Stop.🙂 And God bless you too!

Love this song.

That is one of the most beautiful love songs ever written and it ain't got a damn thing to do with hippies! Wow

Reminds me of my teen years 😊 having innocent fun with my friends 👍 You don't hear of that these days 😢 A great song 😁

Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress. Yes please!

I feel that it's a beautiful love song. He doesn't need anything else in his life ... just air and being allowed to just love her.

Lol! I could see your face change when you realized what it reminded you of! When that video came out our granddaughter was a toddler. She came to me one day and asked "Please Grandma, can I watch The Little Assholes?" Guess she did not understand Rascals!

73 with open space to hike in the late spring heat. Love this song

I was a teenager then, not a hippie, not smoking anything ...just enjoying the music.

ha, the moment when someone realizes, "Hey, Ive heard this before". Priceless. Thats why youre the best.

Check out "Stop, Stop, Stop" featuring Tony Hicks on banjo. The song was inspired when they first went to an American strip club.

I remember how this feels and I bet you do too. And now that you mention it I remember the Little Rascals. The hippy vibe is definitely there.

One reason this song may seem familiar...It is "Creep" by Radiohead and the two Hollies (plural of Holly) who wrote "Air That I Breathe" are given songwriting credit on "Creep."

While watching your reaction - I could tell you had heard this somewhere before and was thinking about that LOL !!!

Reminds me of my older brother's love for his childhood sweetheart .Married in their teens, have children and grandchildren,,,,still in love and very close. My brother liked the Hollies..

darn I miss the 60s and 70s! love this song!!

This song is so beautiful. I think it was on a movie i like . I remember it making me said and happy all at once.

How good are they!!!

Check out Burton Cummings “Stand Tall” and “Break it to them Gently “ One of the best male vocalists

AWESOME Job my Brother! LOVED it! Don't sweat your awesomeness, It's Genetic.......He-Heee! LOVE ya man! Keep up the GREATNESS, I really Dig-It! :-)

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe...food,, shelter and the warmth of love from my fellow humans. What else do we TRULY need?

This song was written in 1972, long after the Little Rascals.

50sbaby 🙋🏽‍♀️♥️🥰 just sweet and peaceful

You can always tell a 70's song - they forgot how to end them and just let them trail off

Such a great song. Allan Clarke. Still listening to them today 💕💕

One of the great British Invasion bands

50sbaby 🙋🏽‍♀️actually it reminds me of rocking my babies to sleep ♥️. You need to listen to B J Thomas Mama

Yep, blew your mind. The Hollies. All that needs to be said.

It's the feeling of lost love and doing anything to get it back again.

Great video reaction 2.40 lol 😁👌

Love The Hollies!

I love this song by the Hollies! They have so many good ones: Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress, Carrie Ann, and even better He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother is absolutely beautiful.

You heard it in some thing ,Darla Alfalfa, Truth your funny 😄

Most romantic song ever!!

I was there - certainly a lot of what you said - the Hollies had a lot of weed friendly songs "He Ain't Heavy" - smoke a little sumptin and hit it up

This song too - is a favorite of my Uncle's growing up and I was hooked even from back then

This is my first time seeing one of your videos, I stumbled across it while searching for the Hollies air that I breathe music video so I could learn it on guitar. You reaction video is better that any that I have ever seen before, I find it extremely annoying when “reactors” stop the song every ten seconds and start yelling at the camera with extremely exaggerated acting. You let the song play through and acted normal, unlike most reactors who seem like they just drank ten cups of espresso, keep up the good work dude 👍

That's old movies. Lol. It's a beautiful song of complete devotion

My favorite!!

They named themselves after Buddy Holly - giving a clue about pronunciation. Love the song.

I love the Hollies.

ty

i think I was about 12 when this came out. I loved it.

Omg I remember this went I was 16 😀Friday night dance !! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️

Jefferson Starship " Miracles" is a good song but they all sound like they in a studio full of smoke passing the weed to each othere.

Great UK band Ty, (pronounced the same as the tree). Listen to He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother - a very emotional song and my lovely dad’s favourite.
