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

This was the song my dad requested his hospice nurse to play. Lost him July 16, 2023. Today July 12, 2024 still listening in his remembrance. Lost him to lung cancer. He lost his wife 3 years prior from a hit and run, they left her in a puddle like a dead dog. He was never the same. Now they both lay in peace. I LOVE RICHARD (MY DAD) AND AMADA (MY STEPMOM)😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Probably ridiculous but I'm 69 and lost my home . I had a dog and had to surrender her . Oh dear GOD watch over her . I can't stop thinking about her .

🍀To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. may peace and calmness fill your life. 🍀

Wasn't until I read these comments - I forget how much pain we all carry - my heart jst breaks reading everybody tears - took my focus off my own. God, I love u All, so sorry there's so much pain in the world but I'm praying for you all and that the Holy Spirit comforts us All! God bless, and know somebody out here praying for you! ❤

July 2024 and Al Green still matters to me. Today I'm feeling brokenhearted, I'm feeling injured and alone, not lonely just alone. Lord fix me for today I need your protection and guidance. Help me mend, in Jesus name. Amen

LORD HAVE MERCY. HEART BREAK COMES IN SO MANY FORMS. HELP ME FATHER.

Lost my mom at 12 I'm 55 now. She would play AL while cleaning the house. I love this song.

My mom played the whole album every sat for years on end along with each issue of all albums....I miss her cooking so much as I miss her kind soul...she raised five brats and she loved all of us despite our foolishness...and fails...

I used to listen to this song when my son was locked up but he’s home now and it’s been 13 years and he’s doing great ❤

AL GREEN WAS MY DADDY FAVORITE ARTIST.....HE PASSED AWAY 3/14/23.....MAN I MISS THAT MAN OML‼️‼️😔😔🥺🥺💔💔

2024 who's listening 👂🏿👂🏿🎧

Every time that I hear this song, tears flow. My husband loved Al Green. My husband passed away 9 years ago. I miss him every day.

This is the Greatest song Ever!!!! ONLY JESUS can Mend a Broken Heart. Emotional Scars, Mental Scars. he's able to rejuvenate the Soul and Mind with a Prayer .

I lost my best friend three days ago and her newborn boy as well. she put up with such a hard life, my family and i accepted her into ours, we gave her her 18th birthday , she is my soulsister. and he is my godson. we were one❤️ her birthday was on the 13th of May, 3 days later she passed due to an asthma attack at the age of 22 and so did her babyboy. we had him on life support but unfortunately there wasnt brain activity. 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! I saw many other people's stories and goodness. God bless everybody that is here going through it. We need to hold on to the light. God got us. 🤞

This is the most heart breaking comment section. I hope you find solace

My uncle Jack sang the shit out of this song 30 years ago. He had a brain aneurysm surgery that left him with the mentality of a two year old, but he could still sing Al Green songs. RIP Jake. That's what I called him.

I’m a fat white guy but guys like Al know how to tap into almost anyone’s soul

this brings tears to my eyes happy 2024 real soulmusic i was raised up on

Barry Gibb said that this is his favorite cover.

Lost my mom 3 years ago, my heart hurts I'm only 24, she took care of 4 kids growing up the ghetto she's died at 42, most precious soul. Rest in peace Nancy I miss you mama

Old school music never gets old

Al Green took this Bee Gees song to ANOTHER LEVEL. sheesh

THE MOST SOLID of men taught me this was the medicine we need!

It doesn't matter how many times you listen to Al Green, he seems to set off the shivers

Mom passed away on Christmas 3 years ago because of COVID. Pain is indescribable.

I buried my mother today February 12 my mother loved to listen to al green and he does it for her and she still loves it

She was the love of my life and she cheated on me and left me broken and alone. 10 years later I still dream about her and wake up in tears. I'm not sure this broken heart will ever mend. I love you all.

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 La

As a child I didn't understand why the grown folks would cry while listening to this song but as a 54 yr old man I totally understand and cry a lil bit too

I was told " you can't mend a broken heart, you learn to live with it " so true, love you my son💕

I lost my 😢mom to cancer in 2017 and my bby girl to gang violence in 2021 I'm forever broken 💔❤️‍🩹 I miss them each and every day only God knows sigh 😔😔😔😔

I cried to this song when got divorced. Played until no more tears😊

In 2020, unexpectedly my fiancée ended our 5 year relationship totally out of the blue. I was absolutely devastated. 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. Fantastic song & Al green, what a beautiful song & voice ❤

I’ve allowed too many access to my heart and I asking God how can he mend my heart when it’s scattered.

I lost my dad, uncle, granny, best-friend of 5 years, and more. This song has helped me through difficult times and I still love it today.

I remember the nights my dad cried for my mother to come home, cried about my brother passing. I miss him, I didn't mature fast enough to tell him the world he taught me, the heart he gave me or how much I loved him and thank him cus I had a father, a daddy the 1 real man I ever had in my life. Or That I understood our life and i thank GOD i had him. That time has passed. I come here to see his face or see his laugh and sometimes to remember a story.

My dad loved playing this song and now am listening the words and it's very meaningful my heart is broken 💔 I miss my dad so much😢 may his soul rest in peace

Thank you Jesus!

The bee gees did it first but All Green puts life and soul into this version

Mr. Al Green took over this song. I still like the Bee Gee’s but Al Green made it his own!!! Still listening in March, 2023!!!

Sitting here in what WAS my Wife and I 's Bedroom. She passed away late last night, after 50 + years ( she would have been 62 next weekend) fighting her health issues. She succumbed to a heart attack. It was quick and painless. Leaving me this broken heartened, man.

Keep Going , Stay in The Fight, Your Not Alone We all are battling But Joy Comes In The Morning #JesusChristIsTheWayTheTruthAndTheLife 🙏🏽🙌🏽😇🥰Jesus Loves 🫵🏽 and So Do I 💯❤

I feel your pain , we lost our only Son.😢 the hurt never goes away but we know he is with God Almighty 🙏 🙌 ❤️

How can you not love real music one of the best male singers of all times 2023 always listening never get old

Thank you BeeGees for allowing Al version to bless us all ❤

Endless cycles of loneliness, rejection, and depression brought me here in 2024 😢

Man sings from his soul. God bless you rev Green❤❤❤❤

You can't mend a broken heart, once it's broken, it's always broken; heart failures, heart attacks, strokes, heart disease..............all effects of a broken heart!!!

My heart is so broken. Lord help me let it go n trust in a better future with a MAN

Everytime i listen to this song after my divorce, i weep and weep this is one of that songs where you can feel his hurt and your hurt and you can just let go. After 11 years with new hurt in my heart, this song still helps me to let it go. " Nobody told me about the sorrow" oh Lord.

After being hit by the two atomic bombs that destroyed me then ---- I can say now the pain and fear I felt then has being aleavated alot. Thru my fatih in Jeuses and Gods Grace Im better I still face hard times ahead but I'm scared no longer. Thanks for reading lets keep our Faith Strong -- and God Blesses all.

...The Book of Eli was my introduction to this song. One of my favorite parts of the movie 💯

Arguably the best male vocalist in American history.

Crying at a blackjack table by myself in Vegas blasting this song in my AirPods. Life sucks rn. But in this moment. Thank you god.

Rest in peace to my momma. This song always makes me think of her. Forever broken. 🥹

The Bee Gees were genius songwriters. ❤💕

Al Green certainly does have an achingly soulful voice. He really melts your heart when he sings....

Al would have made any woman on this planet fall in love with him. What a great talented artist.

Don't know how I found this song but been missing an x girlfriend for years last time I saw her she said we need to hang out waited an waited until eventually found out she died of an overdose still miss her so much it's been 22 years now and I still miss her dearly ❤RIPSherri❤

Could never go wrong with Al Green and Etta James on the record player 🎼🎤😊

Al Green sings the shit out of this BeeGee's classic.

You have to thank the bee gees for writing this... but this is the only cover that is better than the original... and to the man sipping bourbon who lost his boy to heroin...i was on that shit for over twenty years but by the grace of God i survived and I know you will dance to this with your son in the heavenly realms ❤️

My dad requested this song while he was pretty intoxicated a few year's ago after being sedated in the hospital for a few weeks and almost didn't make it , He left this world on 3/24 of last year and now here I am listening to it without him , for as long as I live there will be a void in my heart that can never be filled although I know I must keep going and eventually smile again it will never be the same .

Bee Gees were phenomenal writers !

Love this song . Never gets old

I had the honor of meeting Reverend Al on Sunday, November 13th, 2022, at his church in Memphis. He prayed for me, and was so personable, sweet, and so down to earth! I cried the entire service 😂. He has no idea that I got his name tattooed over my heart in 2010, but I’m pretty sure he figured out at some point that I was a super fan! 😊❤

Best cover of any song ever 💖

This song hits different when you now more than ever realize you chose the wrong one.

How can someone save you then turn around and plunge the knife in your heart deeper than anyone ever did?

Always tears in my eyes when I hear this song. I played this song over & over when I first experienced heartbreak. My heart healed & I love this song to this day.

Não sei o que essa música diz, mas, minha alma, sabe!!

Only God can mend a broken 💔 of a mother who lost her daughter. ✨ I will see you soon, Thea. Wait for me.💛

As a Jamaican living the England for 44 years. I used to stop at the record shop and LISTEN Al Green ONE IN A MILLION VOICE - YES, untouchable man; perfect if ever there was such a thing. Deep, sweeeeeet, soul stirring, uplifting taking you to another world out of this world. SING ON MR AL GREEN.

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

Grazie mille per la condivisione 🙏 Bellissima canzone ed interpretazione 🎶✨👍 Complimenti ed un meritato applauso 👏 A presto 🇮🇹✔️💙🤗

I remember my mom playing Al Green every weekend while we cleaned the house and she cooked. It was so satisfying and special to me and I loved hearing it because it gave us a sense of peace. I love his music to this day!!❤

I lost my mom suddenly she was an Al Green fan sitting here reminiscing about how we all use to have a good time drinking listening to her favorite artist and we played his songs at her funeral she loves her some Al..I listen to him remembering her ..I miss her so much🥰🥰❤️❤️

Essa canção é tudo ao mesmo tempo, linda, triste, romântica é demais

1970 this was my anthem, was missing my wife who would be playing cards every weekend and I was home alone with my three small children. When the álbum Let's Stay Together, late night d j kelson " chop- chop fisher was offering the álbum as the prize for the best essay on how to mend a broken heart, to my surprise I heard him call my name as the winner of that álbum, today in 2023 I still have it in my collection and sometimes I just want to listen to it and remember when.

Could never be improved just pure perfection sang from his heart and soul

Masterpiece cover version of this wonderful haunting old song. Al has a way of pulling the pain out of a song that originally artists do not.

Born in Beaumont, Texas in earth year 1985. This song got ahold of me in my early 20s when I moved out on my own. Soooo many tears and beers have been shed on this ..smh. There is about 5 songs that make me very emotional when I try and sing along .. this is one. Been there with me through heartbreaks and happy days and more. Good vibration indeed ✌

Soulful music never dies this song reminds me of love of my life ❤❤❤❤

That Green touch. My Good Lord what a talent. And such a brilliant, simple arrangement. Where did music like this go?

Love can be a good thing and such a blessing. But love can also be one of the most painful things people will ever have to endure.

I pray to Allah who created all this beauty in the world to make your life full of happiness, love and joy with the your family and the ones you love.

This is Barry Gibbs favorite cover of one of his songs. I can only imagine Barry's response when Al Green and his people asked the Bee gees for permission to record this song. Al Green is one of the greatest singers of his generation. If I could have been a fly on the wall during that conversation.😊

Yes, I remember my Mom playing this Song in the 70"s didn't understand why she was playing it so much...I'm older Now and I understand and I got it now.. You got to have the experience in Life to be able to relate to another Human being ❤❤❤❤❤ Truth 100%...

My love of 4 years cheated on me with my best friend while I chose to get clean of drugs and change my life around going back home to see family. The day I came back to Vegas for Valentine's and her birthday. I found the messages of her and him, hearing them both lie to my face and give excuses of how it happened. It broke me but I been listening to this song on repeat slowly healing.

My first blessings of love from my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is I woke up this morning 🛐

Some people put a face on Soul Music and call it oldies...what those people don't realize is that black people don't have to be going through anything...soul music automatically touch our soul

From Al Green 's majestic voice to the late Al Jackson's timeless timekeeping on drums this is one of the greatest soul slow jams in music history. They DON'T make music like this anymore.

There's no way to Mend a broken heart, after it's been Badly damaged.

Sending love, light, prosperity, abundance, strength & healing energy to all that reads this. Hold your head to the sky & keep pushing 💪🏽 ❤️✨💫🦋🪷🧿🪬

Try to be the person your love fell in love with everyday❤ Then they are all ways with you🎵💝🙏🎵☮️

Would love to see an Al Green biopic released by a major studio.

No one sounds like Al Green. What a voice and delivery. Along with a slew of other artists, Al makes me Memphis proud.

Every time I hear this song I think of my grandfather and grandmother, I spent the best days of my childhood with them.

My tears, my pain, Daddy I'm So Sorry, I apologize, 5 months and 7 days 💔 I MISS YOU 😭
