This song is about a couple who meet one rainy day at a bus stop. Love blooms when they share an umbrella. In a Manchester newspaper, Graham Gouldman said he wrote it whilst riding on the No. 95 bus, which ran from East Didsbury - the route went through Manchester city centre, to Sedgeley Park, Cheetham Hill, Prestwich, and on to Whitefield near Bury. Gouldman was living with his family on this route in Broughton Park Salford at the time. Graham Gouldman's father was a talented and creative writer who often helped his son with song ideas. Graham had the idea for bus stop setting, and his dad came up with the first line: "Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say, 'please share my umbrella.'" From that starting point, he was able to finish the song. In a Song facts interview with Gouldman, he explained: "He gave me those words and I immediately, as I was reading them, heard the melody in my head, and it just kind of wrote itself. And then the middle part of the song I wrote - I got the melody and the words all in one chunk."

My father, Ron Richards, produced this record along with all their other hits. He discovered them when they were playing at the "The Cavern" in Liverpool. He had been sent north by George Martin, his boss at the time & latterly business partner, to look for talent. He was impressed by their vocal sound. They were then brought to Abbey Road to record & the rest as they say is history. I remember going to many times to Hollies sessions as a youngster including the one in which "Air That I Breathe" was recorded. Dad would certainly be amazed & delighted that this music is still so appreciated by so many around the world.

Fun connections: The Hollies named their band after Buddy Holly, whose band The Crickets had inspired the name “Beatles.” Later, another British band named themselves The Iveys in tribute to the Hollies (via the Christmas carol “The Holly and the Ivy”). The Iveys eventually signed with the Beatles’ Apple Records and were renamed Badfinger.

The "British Invasion" category is very much from a US perspective and included many acts, such as ballad singers, which the British would not have thought of as being similar at all. At the time, the British categorised The Hollies as a Beat Group, like The Beatles, The Searchers etc. By about 1966/7 in the UK, beat as a genre was fading and some groups managed the transition to psychedelia or other genres better than others. The Hollies were rare in being able to survive as a major chart act well into the 1970s whereas, say, The Searchers or The Tremeloes or The Dave Clark Five didn't.

The Hollies have so many great songs, and there is a definite dividing line that happens right about 1968 or '69 when Graham Nash left the band to join Crosby, Stills and Nash. After he left the Hollies, they had some great hits like "He Ain't Heavy (He's My Brother)," "Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)," and "The Air That I Breathe." But I really think their best work came when Nash was still in the band. Here's a quick chronology of their biggest '60s hits: "Just One Look" (1964), "Look Through Any Window" (1965), "Bus Stop" and "Stop Stop Stop" (1966), "On A Carousel," "Pay You Back With Interest," "Carrie Anne" (1967), "Jennifer Eccles" (1968). Then came the departure of Nash and their sound morphed slightly. Honestly, if I had to pick my favorite Hollies songs from the '60s, they'd probably be "Look Through Any Window" and "Pay You Back With Interest." But you checked "Bus Stop" off the list, and I've always considered that one to be a must-listen if you wanted to get a sense for what the Hollies were all about. Kudos to you for doing this one. I've been suggesting it for a while now. Another '60s band that I have yet to hear ANY reaction channel do a reaction video to is the Grass Roots. The Grass Roots were one of the top AMERICAN bands during an era that was dominated by British acts. Their biggest hits include "Where Were You When I Needed You" (1966), "Let's Live for Today" (1967), "Bella Linda" and "Midnight Confessions" (1968), "I'd Wait A Million Years" and "Heaven Knows" (1969), "Temptation Eyes" (1970), "Sooner Or Later" (1971). Their biggest being "Let's Live for Today" and "Midnight Confessions," although my favorite was always "Where Were You When I Needed You." A great band that often gets overlooked.

They often get lumped in with the British Invasion, though the group is actually from Australia: The Seekers. I specifically recommend the song "Georgy Girl." It's a really fun song with a beautiful message of empowerment and self-confidence. It would be great for a Female Friday as the singer, Judith Durham, is amazing.

All the prior Hollies tunes you guys had listened to were after Nash left. Early Hollies are also great. I recommend Just One Look (a cover of a Doris Troy song), or Stop, Stop, Stop.

Thanks for listening to this song, which arguably has one of the most challenging set of lyrics to understand. You asked about the genre. It’s considered Swamp rock, a genre of rock music that originated in the mid-1960s as a fusion of rockabilly and soul music with swamp blues, country music and funk. Creedence Clearwater Revival is also swamp rock. The Hollies are a British band that was part of the British Invasion. My favorite song of theirs is The Air That I Breathe, but I also love their remake of the Supremes' Stop in the Name of Love from 1983.

This was one of the songs, among others, that hinted at the psychedelic revolution to come, while still working within the disciplines of conventional pop music.

The Hollies had sooooo many big hits. They were such a fabulous British band - my band covered some of their tunes back in the mid-late '60s.

Hey Squad, the Hollies never disappointed, cuz like the Beatles, their songs were able to deliver a mood or message without ever sounding similar. Thank you for this reaction and for helping to keep all this wonderful music alive and relevant. God bless❤️

Always did enjoy The Hollies. "He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother" wasn't written as a Christian song, I believe, but the concept couldn't be more Christian. One of my very favorites. It's what I play when I'm feeling a bit down. This one lifts me up though! Makes you want to get up and bust a move!

Loved both the Hollies 60's music and their later music had the pleasure of their company socially after their show at their after party I worked at the nightclub they appeared at , I loved their after parties I was 18 yrs old and Terry Sylvester was in the group then. Some fantastic songs to sing and dance too , those were the days for sure

The Hollies had so many different sounding songs. As a young child hearing them, I didn’t realize it, because Graham Nash was the early lead singer, then he was replaced by someone else. I used to think the radio DJ’s sang these songs (lol). As an adult, I came to appreciate them. But, it also took me a while to appreciate that he Beatles, who, as a child, mixed in with The Monkees. I should be pleased that I was born at a time where all this great music could be blurred together.

One of the greatest vocal groups of all time. The harmonies are just criminally good.

Written by Graham Gouldman of 10cc who also wrote ‘Look Through Any Window’ for them. 10cc are also worth looking at.

You should movie react to 1967's 'To Sir with Love' and 'Blackboard Jungle' which is from the 1950s. Both movies had Sidney Poitier as a teacher (To Sir with Love) and a student (BlackboardJungle). And music in both that hit the top of the charts.
