He Ain't Heavy...He's My Brother - video

I woke up the Saturday morning after "Fated To Pretend" first aired with the word "brother" reverberating through my brain. I had no intention of making a "re-turning" video. None at all. And, hey, let’s face it – I already made a “friendship” video. A light-hearted one. Been there, done that, I thought. Besides, messing with that scene would be like taking scissors to a Picasso. But there was no putting it off or ignoring it. This old song from The Hollies popped into my head - even though I hadn’t thought about it in years - and when I played it, I knew it was right.

He Ain't Heavy...He's My Brother



(Note: Select "watch in high quality" at the lower right of the video window on YouTube. It makes a big difference.)

I'm popping into some of the Fan Vid offices and I don't think I saw this one before. The song is perfect.

Carol, thank you SO much for your comment. :hug: This video is one of my favorites -- and Thursday will be the 3-year anniversary of my posting it on YouTube. Image

Oh gosh, Lilly--I can't believe I never commented on this video here. It's one of my favorites of yours. It has such deep feelings, such wonderful give and take of who's carrying whom. And the genuine love that Mick and Josef share just shines through here.

(And I love the little bit at the very end--that's them at NYCC, isn't it?) :hearts:

I don't think anyone has ever commented on the give and take before -- I had wondered if that had come through at all. :rose:

Yes, it's Alex and Jason during the "Best Week Ever" interview at NYComicCon. :happysigh:

When I played it I knew you were right, Lilly. This is beautiful. The scenes and the music work so well together and their friendship shines through.

Well done, Lilly. :notworthy:

Oh, and how did I ever miss this?
