Alan Parsons Project, The - Brother Up In Heaven Lyrics

My brother Max died in 2017

One of the greatest/saddest tracks ever written!! Rip Massy bro! Love u m8 xXx

Excellent tribute from Ian for his cousin. Neil Lockwood's vocal is hauntingly awesome.

Rip Ryan weissert

My brother was killed in a motorcycle wreck sunday the 8th. His services were thursday an friday. We played this at his service. He was the eldest brother. We lost our baby brother 24 years ago. My heart is broke

I'm SO SORRY for your pain.. And broken heart... may God hold you close.

I am so sorry for your losses. Keep in mind that God loves you and will never abandon you or your family. Best wishes from me.

it would have been his 54th today :-(

UP IN. HEAVEN

I also lost my grandfather and I'm sure he's up in heaven watching over me

not many songs/videos make me cry.....but this.......oh man !

I lost 2 of my aunties for a long time ago I miss them so much I can't stop thinking about them

Amazing song! Feel very sorry for Ian Bairnson's cousin who died in a war in Iraq.

Amazing song!💕

my grandpa died in 2008 and this year reminds me  of my brother...

This is such an amazing song and means so much to me. I know my Big Bro Dave is up in heaven watching over my family and me...

+Andrew Duckworth sorry to hear that. I'm sure he is, too.

The same here. I lost my young brothers Maurizio and Emiliano.

To Jeffrey I love and miss u bro

The Name of the Album is "On Air".

This was played at my nephew Dustin's funeral. He was 25 and had many "brothers" in attendance that miss him as the family does. Excellent song.

Thank you !
I Played this song for my Brother PETE at his memorial . Cancer took him at 50 -
He was an inspiring film maker and producer. His Final voice, in his last creative video, on the topic of 'Unconditional Love' is here- watch?v=swQyr2NN4Hc

I lost my good brothers in 2 different years ,I unexpectedly had so much grief today from missing them so ......Being able to hear this song brought tears ,peace and comfort. Sleep in peace .

For my brothers A. & G.----Brother Up in Heaven !

KorriCee you must be related to me too , Erik (with a K) is my cousin his Dad is my dads brother and Ian is my cousin too, wow small world.

My very dear friend and musician Jeff Pike shared this with me today. Even through it's been almost 18 years since my brother died, I unexpectedly had so much grief today from missing him so.....Being able to hear this song brought peace and comfort.

I have lost 2 brothers in 2 different car crashes... This song means a lot to me.
Ciao
Fernando

Friendly Fire , isn't very friendly at all

for both my brothers...

He might of been older than 15, we found him as a stray. I was 10 when he died. I'm just glad instead of suffering he's in a better place now.

my friend posted this song after my dad died on dec 1 st and it makes me cry...

For all the brothers in heaven

@danielforquer i feel alan parson's pain and your pain too! i have a cat that feels like a brother who got put down last year 4-23-11 .... R.I.P Oren Year found: 1996 Death Year 2011

@itxasoCAT
Sonds like his voice is complementry to the ' idea' behind this song !

Why this song was not a major hit when it first came out is beyond me. And why it was not rediscovered and used as a tribute song after the attacks of September 11, 2001 is TOTALLY beyond me. No song would have fit the day and time better than this. Around the 2:30 mark, long before I saw this video, as I would listen to the song I could replay in my mind the second plane hitting the second WTC as people on a nearby street at street level look up in awe and bewilderment.

Great song.

My dad told me today, that this was the song he was listening to in the car when he drove back home after he found out that his younger brother died - it made me cry!!! - I miss my uncle and sometimes still cant believe he's gone! - also when that happened a long time ago...

I cried my eye out ween I first time I hear this song...Caz its everything I said & everything I feet ween my big brother Justin was killed in a car crashe, He was only 23, I was 13...I still dream about hem & then cry ween I wack up caz I know he gone...It's really haed to wack up see ur brother's happy face every day & then wack up one day & its gone...The day he was killed, I looked up to heaven & said "Plz wait for me Just..." I miss hem more then anything & I would take his place if I could

@1956tigerlily My brother died too......im sorry for your loss.

Beautiful, powerful, and tragic song. This got me thinking about the goodness and "evil" of men, In nature I truly believe that humans are good, but easily corrupted and manipulated. But when pain and injustice are done toward us, we will most often respond with the same tools. And I believe this brings a cycle of misdeeds. We tend to pay more attention to all the bad things that happen rather than all the good (the news is an excellent example of this). I have much to learn about being human.

@dpj5 Everytime , water flows !

The Maestro : Mr. Alan Parsons !

This song always gave me goosebumps and the video brought a tear to my eye.

@itxasoCAT Yes,wondeful and great! Reminds me of my sister who died in cancer 5 yrs ago, only 44.......she died in my arms and she`s there now.....

makes me think of my sister who died of cancer 44 yrs old

pandy bear311.
from the alan parson's album "on air " released in 1996, on river north records i believe

correct leroideschoux
but just a minor thing , our cousins name is Erik with a "K" (wink)
and bli56 I think you are a bit confused ,but this song is for everyone to enjoy .

i cry everytime i hear this song icry because my grandpa died in 2006 from cardiac aresst

I see it. We choose the same music for the same thing (check my first "fall free" in my video)

What a wonderful song. Ian is an amazing and talented musician. I love Alan Parsons songs.

In memory of my cousin Erik..
lead guitarist Ian Bairnson is also my cousin.

:)

A wonderful song written by Ian Bairnson, whose guitar has been an important element in The Alan Parsons Project. The lyrics are very deep and remind us that our life is fragile and should be holy. 5 Stars. Fer

Another great video from CLDBRKS. But it would be nice if you use full screen.....

I cry my eyes out every time I hear this song... ;(

From the booklet: it's a song by Ian Bairnson, the guitarist of APP. He wrote nearly the entire album. Still a wonderfull song!!

I love this song.. I have heard on this song since my brother died.. The song is soo beautiful.. <3

Technically, it's not an APP. By Alan's own admission in several interviews, the Projects were things he collaborated on with Eric Woolfson.
And, I agree, I just love the "I believe this nation should commit itself..." JFK speech excerpt announcing the Apollo program in the song Apollo. Great driving song. Nice emotional recovery after this one wants to make you cry.

It just struck me--although Don Henley is also a very good writer, that nobody does pathos like Alan Parsons. Noone.

This song knocks me sick!

:D
