Al Green - How Can You Mend A Broken Heart (Official Audio)

[@damonpitt2528]

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

[@jasonlynn1017]

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.

@@jasonlynn1017 thank you Jason you stay safe man he was 29 years old I wasn't no angel at 29 years old I grew up right all kinds of drugs I'm 52 years old now and all my family that party back in the seventies and '80s are dead before they hit 60 it's a trip man but thank you brother you stay safe and stay strong

[@jasonlynn1017]

@@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.

Your Friend, her baby, and my friend are with God Almighty now. The Bible tells us to be absent from this body is to be present with God Almighty. All we can do is move on, and ask God to give us a supernatural strength to keep pressing on. Remember, not just any strength but his SUPERNATURAL strength. We all have different paths in Life, and as you continue your path, I ask that God be right there with you every step you take. ❤️ God Bless You! 🙏

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

[@joelwelch5762]

[@TheMogul23]

FUN FACT: I just saw a video about the Radiohead song "Nude" which discussed how the band sat on that song for a decade as they were trying to capture a vibe similar to this Al Green classic and didn't want to release it unfinished. 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.

[@keishabonner7309]

No, they sure don't.

I had to leave my entire family, too. All they offered was hate, trauma, and mean tricks, as I was the scapegoat that each one enjoyed torturing. Eventually, my dad escaped but not with his life.

Barry Gibb wrote this song for Al green

[@DouglasLippi]

​@@SexxiToesnot sure about that. They released it on their own prior to this version and it went #1.

[@frankiedimplez9627]

@@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.😎👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻♥️✌🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️✌🏼♥️⭐️♥️

[@kenbyrne1600]

Al has the soul, but imagine the talent that created this song! Al was given perfectly written thoughts to mold his version, but I still think the BeeGees nailed it. If you knew the circumstances that the song was written under, you might agree. And three part harmony by brothers is an instrument that nobody else has.
