    Just lost my little brother suddenly a few days ago. I had found him a few hours after he apparently passed... He was only 26 years old. He was never too much to handle. He was my best friend and I will always miss him.

      Just an update for anyone who cares to know: My brother has done his second round of out patient chemo and is rapidly losing his hair. He has to go back into the hospital for about 4 or 5 days each session so he tells me what food he wants so I make up a care package and bring it to him at the hospital because the food there is pretty nasty. I am doing everything I can to help him because if he dies I want to know I did everything I could to help.

    Sadly, I am terminally ill. My little brother lived 7 hours from me. They wanted to put me in hospice back in August. My doctors have up on me and I had given up as well. Eric said he wasn't going to give up on me even though he had his own busy life to live because he is a nurse practioner? He brought me to Amarillo and he doctored me and found help for those in my condition. He could have taken the path of least resistance but he didn't and I am still here for now. He improved my quality of what time I have left. I asked why he did it. He said "Because you're my brother and I love you". I played this song for him and we both had a good, healthy cry.

    It's one of the most fabulous songs ever written and rendered!! The exquisite vocals rank with any ever performed by any artist. No song has a deeper, more desperately needed message than "He ain't heavy, he's my brother." It's moral and humane expression of caring for our fellow man has never been surpassed. The Hollies hold a unique place in musical history for this timeless gem of a song.

    Having grown up in Father's Flanagan's Boys Town in the 1960s I walked past the statue dedicated to the story from which this comes from. There was a small boy who could not walk well and another boy picked him up on his back and carried him around even through the Nebraska snow. Father Flanagan ask him if he was weary from the burden and the responded, "He's not heavy Father he's my brother ". I think this group honored the story well with there music.

If we could love one another as we were created in love, what a beautiful world this would be.Im 70 now, a widow of a retired disabled veteran. I've read so many comments and my heart brakes for all of you. We all have a story to tell. Jesus said we are passers-by, we will be with the ones who have returned home.

He is really weighed on me.., took me awhile to understand : no matter how cruel he was and he is to me, he is still my brother.. and the best gift God gave to me through him - is : i can experience and finally understand what does it mean of TRUE FORGIVENESS.. He aint heavy, he is n will be always my brother.. i let your approval go brother.. ❤❤❤

    This song was played at my grandpa's funeral many years ago, I forgot about this song until recently when I read the back of the eulogy pamphlet from that day which had the name of this song on it. My grandma gave me the two they handed out on that day this past week because I told her that despite the pain his loss caused that I forgot which day it was that he left us. Life has been hard on me over the years since then and even harder in the recent months, but my grandma told me that we are strong people and we will always find a way to carry on.

The man was as fierce as they come, but would also give you the shirt off his back and could not part company without a hug and saying “I love you”. The world could use more of him. You can look up the incident that happened at Convict Lake, CA in 1990.

    In March this year my dad got very ill with him having to go through medical tests for dementia and when he was released from the hospital he put the TV on and watching the music on TV and he ain't heavy he's my brother came on so I went home and rewrote the lyrics slightly. The road is long
    With many a winding turn
    That leads us to who knows where, who knows where
    But I'm strong
    Strong enough to carry him
    He ain't heavy, he's my father
    … 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
    He ain't heavy, he's my father
    … If I'm laden at all
    I'm laden with sadness
    That everyone'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 weigh me down at all
    He ain't heavy, he's my father
    … He's my father
    He ain't heavy, he's my father
    He ain't heavy, he's my father
