OK...I keep hearing this song inside my head...

"He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother"

"The road is long, with a many a winding turn,
That leads us to who knows where, who knows where,
But I'm strong, strong enough to carry him,
Oh Yeah, He ain't heavy, he's my brother....
So on we go, his welfare is of my concern,
No burden is he to bear, we'll get there,
For I know, he would not encumber me, oh no,
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.
If I'm laden at all, then I'm laden with sadness
That everyone one's heart isn't filled with the gladness of love for one another.
It's a long, long road, from which there is no return,
While we're on the way to there, why not share,
And the load, doesn't weight me down at all. Oh no,
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.

He's my brother...yes he is.. .he ain't heavy, he's my brother....."



How about we lighten up and get back to some music?

Hey Bill,

Finally dropping by to probably not tell you anything new at all. :P I haven't read through all the comments, but I'm sure we all agree that this was another wonderful upload by you. I can see why you're so pleased with it too, you should of course. Indeed, it sounded all very well rounded and I just love your voice!

Awesome job Bill!! :cheer:

Thanks for the clarification Mark. I love Neil Diamond's music, however as far as this song goes, I think the Hollies version can't be beat. Neil makes this one sound like a dirge.

Ness - Thank you!!! I'm sure you know how good it makes me feel when someone (especially you) says they love my voice. You've made my day again. Hugs...

I completely agree, Bill! Until your post I didn't know there were any other versions. Sad, eh?

I'm completely in love with that rendition and now I have to add it to my ever-growing list of songs to tackle. At this rate I'd better live to be as old as Methuselah. :side:

HaHa...I just realized I hijacked my own thread. I went from busking Jackson Browne to The Hollies, to Neil Diamond. :silly: :laugh: :silly:
