One of the most beautiful and soulful calls to love and help one another ever written and performed. I cannot NOT be moved, even after hundreds of hearings. Beautiful reaction.
I remember it about a guy carrying his crippled brother. "He ain't heavy"... He would say when people asked... "He's my brother." A sweet song from another era. Peace on earth.
Is there any other song that talks about how deeply men can feel for one another? How much they care for each other? How important that love is? I think that's why this song touches so many people.
Great song. I was 18 when I first heard them sing Bus Stop in 1967. I m 75 now . They were a great group that I still listen to. They made several good songs back in the day. You ll enjoy researching them a bit.
A real anthem, and a real emotional song. based on a report of a lad carrying his disabled brother who said he ain't heavy, he's my brother..brilliant song
It was said he was in India and saw a little 6 year old carrying his 10 year old brother who had no legs. He talked to him and asked him if he was heavy to carry. The child said " he's not heavy, he's my brother".
The first recorded instance of this phrase was in 1884 when a book was published by a man in Scotland who came across a young girl carrying her infant brother and he asked her if she wasn't getting exhausted. She replied to him "He ain't heavy, he's my brother." Yes, this song always makes my heart churn and my eyes tear up. One of the very greatest songs ever written. Part of the Gospel in a nutshell. 😉💖💖💖
I see in my mind the image of a soldier in the Vietnam conflict, carrying a wounded fellow soldier to a helicopter standing by to carry him out. For all the vets, in any conflict, I honor you. ❤
When are we going to realize every color and race have these feelings. We are all,the same and the sooner we accept that the better the world will be ..I’m white by birth but I’m M not racist…everyone needs to be accepted and loved.
