    I'm sitting here sipping on Bourbon looking at the window 75° feeling the breeze I can see my son's face my only son I lost the heroin I failed as a father I'm not looking for no pity party I'm just looking at his face in the clouds but I can't hear his voice this song in this man is a blessing to my life my son was like a brother more than a son and being a lone wolf no hand to hold on to just the bulldog Maybelline and Al Green my man

      You didn't fail. Were Heroin legal and over the counter as it was in the 1800s your son might very well be alive, as would at least two people I knew; no one questions why the government suddenly decided the regulation of people's moods, and other mental states was fair domain for tyranny and causing more problems than the drugs themselves typically, nor does anyone question why despair is so prevalent; it all goes way past the dinner-table. And in the 1920s that same darling government also decided you couldn't have your Bourbon either.

      @@damonpitt2528 I'm 59 and can't tell you how I made it this far, but I can tell you I almost didn't because of theme of another song by Al I just saw on the Midnight Special, 1974: " I'm Tired Of Being Alone," which I'm now writing a poem about as it's the greatest truth ever told. Remember that many people use drugs not for pleasure, but to kill the pain and despair of being tired of being alone; and they use drugs including H to exit this world because of this epidemic of loneliness & sadness, versus aloofness, & even viciousness, so they choose to leave as nothing is on the horizon. This whole world has to get well, which is another thing than just not being sick. But the world is sick. Really sick. Al Green's song is truer today in 2022 than in 1974, and everyone needs to do something about it. I'm sorry about your son. Your grief must be beyond comprehension. But you feel it. Therefore you did not cave into the plastic- numb advertised life which so many people now have, which of course worsens everything. So you are a hero of emotionality. It takes guts to feel. It takes guts not to hide feeling. DON'T ever believe anyone saying that it's easy or trivial, as it is one of the last things proving humanity left.

When a man has been scorned by a unfaithful woman/man him or her life is upside down. in order to mend the Scared and Mental Tortured of the mind it will take God to refresh and restore Peace in him only he can do it. the moral of the song is God "Only" can mend men , women mind and heart,soul.

I feel as though a part of me left with her. Life does not feel real whatsoever. But I know we will meet again one day. I am trying my damnest to hang on for my loved ones and them!

    Lyrics
    I can think of younger days when living for my life
    Was everything a man could want to do
    I could never see tomorrow
    I was never told about the sorrow
    And how can you mend a broken heart?
    How can you stop the rain from falling down?
    Tell me, how can you stop the sun from shining?
    What makes the world go 'round?
    How can you mend a this broken man? Yeah
    How can a loser ever win?
    Somebody please help me mend my broken heart
    And let me live again, la-la, la-la, la
    I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
    And misty memories of days gone by
    But we could never see tomorrow
    Would you believe that no one, no one ever told us about the sorrow?
    So how can you mend a broken heart? And mine is
    How can you stop the rain from falling down? Baby
    How can you stop that old sun from shining?
    What makes the world go 'round? And sometime I have to say, yeah, say
    La-la-la, la-la-la, uh-huh, yeah
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, tell me
    Help me mend my, my broken heart
    I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna
    I just wanna live again, baby
    How can you mend this broken man? Yeah, somebody tell me
    How can a loser ever win? 'Cause, baby
    Help me mend my, this old broken heart
    I think I, I believe I
    I feel like I got to, I feel like I wanna live again
    How can you mend, ah, this broken heart? Somebody please tell me
    How can you stop the rain from falling down? I know my clothes are all wet, tell me
    How can you mend my, please help me mend my broken heart
    I think I, I believe I, I've got a feeling that I want to live and live and live
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
    La-la-la

    I honestly thought that things would never ever get better for me.
    I happened to find this song & it absolutely made me break down 😢 like I listened to it over & over & just cried. It’s just amazing.
    Now, 3 years later, I have moved on in a good way, but when I hear it now, it reminds me of that time back in 2020.
    To anyone who is experiencing a traumatic event, never ever forget that thing’s will & do get better, even if you can’t see that at the moment.

      @@DouglasLippi…you are correct. Being a song historian, I know that Al sang this to bring his world together as it was falling, and this was a turning point for him in his life. However, The Bee Gees had broken up and Barry was so distraught about it, he wrote this song except for the bridge, called Robin and Maurice, and Robin came over, helped him finish the song but the couldn’t get the words at the end, and when they played it for Maurice, he said he would be right over, and together, they finished the song, and a major bro hug, tears, and a promise to listen to each other more. This was a major Number One Hit for them, as people like myself were so happy they were back together again. The song was offered to Andy William, by the way, who turned it down, as the Brothers made it so popular, that he didn’t want the song. However, a good 50 plus different renditions were made in the first 25 years after the song as they also wrote at the same time, “Lonely Days”, and they had hits back to back, reaffirming their genius for songwriting, when this was released. Everyone famous wanted the song, as it is so heart rendering. However, it was originally meant for the brothers, but became popular for other reasons. Rev Al places a fabulous spin on it. I just love it. But it was not written for him. Good call. A great song indeed.😎👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻♥️✌🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️✌🏼♥️⭐️♥️

      The final song sounds very different to Green's but the influence can be heard and it's a wonderfully haunting song in it's own right. If you're looking for more modern music with a similar soulful edge then I'd suggest giving it a spin.

      It died to top 40 profitability some time in the late 70s.

    My Nina is dying, she was the queen of music in my eyes. She knew every old school song and artist. She had this huge black case we called it the vault and it was filled with a bunch of different tapes cassettes cds and in mint condition. We called it the vault

    This song gets me through some very tough times. I’m glad my mother was brought up in this era and passed it along to me and I passed it along to my children… #algreen#classic

    The backgound vocals and drums don't get nearly enough credit for this brilliant song. Which should tell you how great Al was belting this out. It's Green's riffing that sets it apart from the BeeGees version. "I know my clothes are all wet, tell me,..How can you mend my, please help me mend my broken heart,..I think I, I believe I, I've got a feeling that I want to live and live and live,.."

    My grandmother’s favorite artist. I used to listen to this and be so sad and depressed because she transitioned in December 2020. I still cry listening to this but I know she’s not suffering. ❤
