Girl, you are making this 61 yr old women so happy by bring this music. It brings back so many beautiful memories of young love and not to have a care in the world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
AMEN, my wife I are both 61 years old, and we agree this song does bring back so many great memories, of our younger years, when life was so much easier. We now have 4 beautiful sons and daughter in laws and 9 teenage grandchildren. We share a lot of this great classic music with our grandkids, and they really enjoy listening to the ancient, music as they call it, LOL. God bless.
Happy 80th Birthday to singer Allan Clarke who sings this classic. It was all over the radio in the schmaltzy 70s so we never thought twice about it. Hearing it now, it has aged beautifully.
The lead singer Allan Clarke has been married to his wife for over 50 years. The Hollies are my favorite group next to the Beatles. I love watching the younger generation listen to music I grew up on and enjoy the songs. My kids are in their 30's and 40's and I've taught them all about the music I grew up on in the 60's-70's. Now I teach my Grand Kids. LOL You are a very sweet soul, keep listening, there is so much more for you to love.
Great song! The Hollies wrote their songs including this hit! Graham Nash was in The Hollies. But GN left. He formed Crosby, Stills + Nash. Yet, GN is still friends with lead singer Allan Clarke. RIP Eric Haydock, in 2019. 🇬🇧
Heyy Jayy..... This song always makes me cry..... started when I listened to it when I was a teen and today at 65, it still happens. Sometimes the less you need makes life beautiful. Thanks for your reaction.... I'll dry my tears now. lol Take care and be well, hon. Peace.
Kay watched and listened to your reaction of the hol lies singing the air that I breath and I thought your comments were just wonderful Allen Clarke is the lead singer with a one in a million voices and this song is one of the most romantic songs I've ever heard and I don't mind saying this but it brought tears to my eyes and I'm a man thank you for your reaction it was very moving for me-thanks
Love this song the original version by the writer alfie hammond is wonderful too . Id recommend the hollies, long cool woman in a black dress and bus stop ( a lovely little love song about a giy meeting his future wife at a bus stop )
The Hollies are a very interesting band. They've gone through so many different iterations and lineups since they were formed in 1962 and they're still active today with a different lineup. Maybe one or two members are original, I haven't kept track lately. But they were co-founded by Graham Nash in 1962, and he left the band in 1968 to join Steven Stills of Buffalo Springfield and David Crosby from The Byrds to form their iconic group Crosby, Stills, and Nash.
Actually, if you pay attention to the lyrics carefully, the song is about the moment after the end of a sexual act. Are you sure you want to shove God into this?
This has been said many a time, but for those who don't know, The Hollies have a writing credit on Creep by Radiohead. Due to the similarities in the verse of Creep to the verse of this song.
There is an historical rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester that, geographically, makes no sense. They are, after all, right next to each other! But perhaps in that competition we're gifted with some great outcomes. The Hollies were a hit-making machine in the mid to late 1960s, formed by lead singer Allan Clarke and tenor Graham Nash (who later went on to become a third of country rock giants Crosby, Stills & Nash) and somehow remain underrated. This tune was originally written and recorded by Albert Hammond and is one of the group's later hits. Possibly as a result of this, Hammond was perhaps less concerned about Radiohead's use of the verse melody on 'Creep' than some have made out.
Surely your rivalry came from Bill Shankly creating a World force in Liverpool Football Club to match Sir Matt Busby's brilliant Manchester United team(s) and The Beatles also coming onto the scene then and becoming The World's biggest selling Singles and Album Artists of all time ::)
Though I am sure there were hundreds of other commenters who asked you to react to this one I am one of them so I am going to claim that it was only because of ME that you reacted to this beautiful Hollies song!! Since I am on a roll let me suggest you follow this up with "Vincent" by Don McLean live from 1972, "That's The Way I Always Heard It Should Be" from Carly Simon or "One Less Bell To Answer" from The Fifth Dimension!! Thanks for your usual great job, and props to your brother too for the intro music!!
Check out their other songs, such as, Have You Ever Love Somebody, On a Carousel, Dear Eloise, Listen to Me, Pay You Back With Interest, Look Through Any Window, Romany, etc.
Thanks gorgeous! This ballad has legs...stands up to anything written in the last 40 years! The Hollies wrote some great stuff! You deserve to have someone sing to you like that! Please, please, please... listen to BREAD. The song is DIARY.
React to the Hollies: "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", which was released during the Vietnam War and had a significant message. Also, "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" is an other gr8 song by the Hollies. :-)
I really enjoyed your reaction- I love how it touched you! Alan Clarke is a great vocalist- His voice is strong, and Crystal clear- I loved that you appreciated his voice☺
Funny thing, this song was written by Albert Hammond and he explains that the song is inspired by a girl he fell in love with. He says she was physically ugly, but she was beautiful on the inside. She helped him when he was basically adrift in Los Angeles. He also missed home quite a bit and that was also inspiration. The line "air that I breathe" was created by Mike Hazelwood as far as Albert can recall. Amusingly, he was introduced to smog for the first time in his life when he got to L.A. LOL
Thanks for posting this, Jayy. This is a song I grew up hearing, but honestly never knew who sang it! Since I was 8 when it became a huge hit in the U.S., I'm sure they said the band's name and it meant nothing to me. Again, thank you for this, since I now know who sang this fantastic, romantic song!
I can remember exactly where and when I first heard this song. I was ten, and it was the first time I actually listened to a song as anything other than a background sound. That soaring first guitar note still gets me. Every. Damn. Time.
Did you ever hear "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother". Another Group that was popular around that time was The Guess Who. Their Music was a Staple in the 1970's on Raidio Stations.
Hey jayy sis another good song I grew up on I'm telling you the 70s and the 80s was the best with real music next time when listening to this song lay in the bed with your eyes closed or laying in bed he grass looking up in the sky while it's playing the song takes you away more deeper 👍👍
For myself - Allan Clarke is the best singer from the Pop Music Aera. The Hollies had the abolutly best vocals ever. I saw them about 25 times live in concert and they were ever fantastic. The Band and also Allan Clarke were absolutly underrated. At a concert in 1984 t Mannheim, I can talk nearly 1 hour wirh Allan Clarke. Look for other songs like: He Ain`t Heavy, I`m Down, Man Without a Heart, A little thing like love, Lucy, and so on and on. They were brilliant.
A beautiful song. Listen to He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother, another lovely song, this band was up there with the likes of the Kinks, Stones and yes! Even the Beatles.
no cigarette no sleep no lights no sound nothing to eat no books to read oh. now i get it; some guy who needs nothing else except breathing and satisfying you doesnt need food and just goes back to sleep when you are done because he cant even read anyway. I loved the smile on your face.
I miss the days when people wrote songs about love, not the crap on the radio now
I won't call any music crap. I will say that the music today is over my head. I really rarely get it.
For me, this is one of the most romantic songs I’ve ever heard.
This one, and “Wonderful Tonight” by Eric Clapton.
Yep, panty dropping song
I love wonderful tonight
@@Myfairmaiden I love you! You sexy thing
@@reverbscherzo7850 If and Aubrey by Bread.
The Hollies are GREAT. Allan Clarke is the most underrated lead singer in Rock music
I've been saying the same thing for the past fifty years.
Jay will you please remember that August 16th Elvis will be gone 44 years and almost two generations a little over he still has twice as many fans as he did when he passed cuz I have once told you he only had a 22-year career just imagine what he could have done if it had lived to be in his seventies or older he was the Entertainer of the Year excuse me of the century the 20th century I don't know how many if it's some of his records have been broken them records that he made not LPS but record somebody said Justin Bieber had broken one of Elvis's records I'm not sure which one but he still Remains The King and more and more Young Folks on CZcams or discovering him they start out playing one Elvis song if I could dream or in the ghetto and first thing you know they all into Elvis I've been watching this go on now for the last year how many singers that you know that's been gone as long as Elvis I'm not sure how many Gold Records are platinum records or double platinum records he had but you can look it up I can look it up on Google so I don't know which record it was that Justin Bieber broke maybe the most number one songs I'm not even sure because I like Justin Bieber when he was first come on the scene but I think you got too carried away not that I have anything against hip-hop or rap music but I'm a 76 old white lady who still loves the king I say that August 16th should be Elvis day American classic movies ran 4/5 of his movies the other night I really enjoy that and they used to on January 8th his birthday they play Elvis music all over AKA Elvis Junkie
This song Always takes me back to a much simpler time..
"Peace came upon me, and it leaves me weak..." What a beautiful sentiment for any time.
If I could make a wish, I think I,d pass, can't think of anything I need. Says it all Xxxx
You'd enjoy "Bus Stop", "Carrie Anne" & "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress"
Soldier's Song will kill that vibe, tho... It's a great song, but not in the same mold.
Carrie Ann! I love that one.
Right on, brother.
The HOLLIES are so GREAT !! From my early teen years !! BEAUTIFUL MUSIC !!! 💜☮️
Listening to this song for over 30 years and still get goosebumps every single time.
Girl, you are making this 61 yr old women so happy by bring this music. It brings back so many beautiful memories of young love and not to have a care in the world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
AMEN, my wife I are both 61 years old, and we agree this song does bring back so many great memories, of our younger years, when life was so much easier.

We share a lot of this great classic music with our grandkids, and they really enjoy listening to the ancient, music as they call it, LOL. God bless.
I remember walking in the countryside with my friends listening to this on transistor radio as it was number 1
Eric Clapton said there was the most soul he ever heard in a single note at the beginning.
Jayy, you'll love their "Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress" and " He Ain't Heavy,He's My Brother" (edit- live to love)
Agreed
She just did He Ain't Heavy, but she'd be impressed with Long Cool Woman - it's a fun song with a snappy rhythm.
It has such a different sound. CCR actually got upset about bv that song.
Carrie-Anne!!!
I love the Hollies! “Bus Stop” is another wonderful song from them. Your reactions are great. 🌺✌️
The Hollies are amazing."The air that I breathe ", and this beautiful song is all I need right now.
This was popular when I was just a kid and their unique sound always had some kind of hypnotic feeling over me that continues even today.
Ditto.
If you like that, you should try anything from a band called Bread, but especially a song called If
The vocals of David Gates can bring you to tears....DIARY is one of those.
If she's going to do Bread, a favorite of mine is "Aubrey." But yes, "If" is really good too.
Guitar Man is one of their best...
Happy 80th Birthday to singer Allan Clarke who sings this classic. It was all over the radio in the schmaltzy 70s so we never thought twice about it. Hearing it now, it has aged beautifully.
Trivia: part of this melody used in Radiohead's Creep. Lawsuits ensued, Radiohead lost.
Yes you can hear it in the first few bars

Great song!
The Hollies wrote their songs including this hit!
Graham Nash was in The Hollies. But GN left. He formed Crosby, Stills + Nash.
Yet, GN is still friends with lead singer Allan Clarke.

I feel exactly the same way. I'm crying right now.
Jim Croce's Time in a Bottle. You'll love it.
The Hollies "Look Through Any Window" is a great oldie too.
The HOLLIES had many GREAT songs !!! 👍💜☮️
Tony Hicks is still a wonderful guitar player in his 70's!
If I remember right, wasn't he the younger brother of Tommy Steel
Kay watched and listened to your reaction of the hol lies singing the air that I breath and I thought your comments were just wonderful Allen Clarke is the lead singer with a one in a million voices and this song is one of the most romantic songs I've ever heard and I don't mind saying this but it brought tears to my eyes and I'm a man thank you for your reaction it was very moving for me-thanks
I was 15 years old in March 1974 when I first heard this. I love it as much today as I did then.
Love this song the original version by the writer alfie hammond is wonderful too . Id recommend the hollies, long cool woman in a black dress and bus stop ( a lovely little love song about a giy meeting his future wife at a bus stop )
Phil Everly did a really good version before the Hollies recorded theirs.
@@kevinhayden4605 Everly Brothers ruled!
Keep playing Hollies , see the songs on that album cover ? Just close your eyes and point to any one of them ,All Great !
The Hollies are a very interesting band. They've gone through so many different iterations and lineups since they were formed in 1962 and they're still active today with a different lineup.

The two main members left are Tony Hicks, guitar and Bobby Elliott, Drums and they are still going great !
Always reminds me of my grandad who loved it too ❤ Beautiful song
Man this song is heavy, and the instrumentals are far-out!!! Love this older music, yep digging it 🤗🤗🤗
"Far-out!" I remember that term from the hippie generation.
Almost perfect composition...this track speaks loudly
I always loved this one.
" I need someone to love me like that!", Quit playing girl, you know guys are beating down your door to get with you!🥰
If you find a man to love you like this, don’t let him go….he’s a rare treasure.
God breathed into you the breath of life and you became a living soul.... That's who loves you like that!
Actually, if you pay attention to the lyrics carefully, the song is about the moment after the end of a sexual act. Are you sure you want to shove God into this?
Such a gorgeous song...these guys know how to make you feel something while listening to their music for sure! thx for sharing Jayy :)
This has been said many a time, but for those who don't know, The Hollies have a writing credit on Creep by Radiohead. Due to the similarities in the verse of Creep to the verse of this song.
The Hollies never wrote it. it's one of Albert Hammond's songs. He got the writing credits from Radiohead after a court case.
The Hollies have so many great songs. You should really explore them all. You won’t be disappointed ❤️
I've been singing this song all day and decide I must watch video and then I found your reaction! Awesome!
Hollies win big with there song great music and great live
Oh, girl. That person is out there for you.
You deserve that. You're awesome, and he'll find you.
Cheers! 😊
Another Great song is " Leo Sayer - When I Need You"
Oh wow.
Good call, havent heard that in forever
Great reaction, you noticing the meaning of that first line. Priceless.

Hay Jay, if I was around 40 year's younger & not on the opposite side of the planet, I'd be happy to be your man..🥰
I loved listening to this on the porch at the beach house, younger times.
I was only a kid when this song came out, but it reminds me of Summer nights and my older brother playing it on his cassette player. Good times. :)
When I first started going into pubs as a young lad this song was always on the Jukebox, It brings back many memories of growing into a man .
If you go for someone who goes for you - they show up, look out for you and dig you - you're halfway there! You'll find it!!!
Though I am sure there were hundreds of other commenters who asked you to react to this one I am one of them so I am going to claim that it was only because of ME that you reacted to this beautiful Hollies song!!

He did the outro music the rap intro before was his song
Don’t worry girl. One day someone WILL sing this song for you, or one just like this!! 😉
I love this one. They knew how to write love songs back then.....
Girl eveytime I watch you, you take my breath away, love your comments always
Jay you look happier today, your hair is beautiful, love the hollies, Alan Clarke has an amazing voice, try "Bus Stop" it's more upbeat but great ❤️
Yes indeed, I love The Hollies' early pop songs. I wish she'd check out the live (black and white) version of their "Carrie Anne" too.
Check out their other songs, such as, Have You Ever Love Somebody, On a Carousel, Dear Eloise, Listen to Me, Pay You Back With Interest, Look Through Any Window, Romany, etc.

This song reminds me of my Aunt and Godmother Heidi. RIP Love You!!!
Now you need to listen to 'Silence is golden' by The Tremeloes.
You're right. I have not heard ANY music reactors do the Tremeloes. Love their harmony with "Silence is Golden."
Simply Red band does this song also a must check out. The original writer Albert Hammond wrote it, record it and the Hollis made it great.
I remember lying around the house and hearing this on my older siblings radio. Love.

Can you imagine someone singing that to you?? 😍
A great upbeat and unknown song from them is Carrie-Anne. I think you would enjoy it.
Unknown? Hell, I wore out the juke box back in 1968 listening to Carrie-Anne. Oh yeah, I guess you're right - today's crowd never heard of it.

I'm pretty sure that's my favorite Hollies song. :-)
70s make out music. I remember it with a smile.
