I miss my husband so much he died November 28 last year we were married 64 years I met him when I was 15

[@JimmyBeam]

I cry with this song holding my mothers photo. I understand your pain ❤

[@lindseyb2586]

Sending you a big hug from across the internet. I see how much you love your husband just from reading these words, his impact on the world is so evident

[@ogenevieve]

I was never in a romantic relationship for that long, but I know the pain of loss and of losing friends and especially family members. I can't imagine any feeling worse than how I feel every time I think of how much I miss them, so I just want to say that you're not alone even though it feels like we are.

I have an uncle that died 15 years ago and an aunt that died 5 years ago. I'm going through the same thing you are going through. R.I.P

RIP Robin & Maurice Gibb. Thank you for the Music

[@nicobocco3399]

And Andy Gibb too.

[@megangreen1756]

Def Andy. :(

[@MUSICA1742]

Actually there was not Andy Gibb. They are The three Bee Gees: Barry, Maurice and Robin, and an Australian drummer called Colin Petersen as an official member of the band in 1967. it was the first single release by the group.

[@robertaclark2996]

[@karenshaw7807]

Hard to believe they're gone so and so soon.

[@15fvp]

It's crazy how much this band has changed through the decades when there are some bands who just play the same type of music. This is why the Bee Gees are awesome.

[@afreakaboucher1316]

You're right most bands don't seem to know how to change up their style of music 🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵 & learn to reinvent their sounds which the Bee Gees did very well 💯💯💯👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

+swope conn Amen to that! Makes me feel old,though.Wait,I am old! Peace!

[@TishDrakeMiz]

+Van Spottiswood - They began their career in 1960. All very young boys. They hadn't written any songs to speak of, so they covered popular songs. This song was written about an historical coal mine collapse in '41. (Hence the morbid name, changed). I also, am so proud to have been born in the era of ALL the best R&R bands, of all time. Yup, that makes us pld... But, I wouldn't have missed it for the World. All the kids today, wish they could have been born in our Gen !! ~ I say... "Good on Us" !!

[@True-trini]

Still a beautiful song 47 years later.

[@henrique6807]

It's amazing that this was one of their first songs, and that the oldest guy (Barry) wasn't even 21 when this was first released. Not only their voices are incredible, but the songwriting is beautiful and misterious at the same time.

[@shinyoneincarnate5565]

The opening chord Barry was using the open D tuning he'd been taught when he was 9, & was playing it as if it was conventional tuning. Australian drummer Colin Petersen, on his 1st single with the band, was an official member of the group, until he left 2 years latter. Robin & Barry, who wrote the song together, (about a disaster in Wales), sang in unison, (which they would repeat on How Deep Is Your Love). We see Maurice on bass.

[@elizabethmencia2811]

omg 1967! I was very very very young child! They all look so handsome here and Barry so much like Andys face.

[@SuperBenblake]

The Bee Gees- one of the greatest bands in the history of music. Undoubtedly! I love them. I have loved them since I was a teenager back in the early 90s when my dad brought home a copy of THE BEE GEES FIRST from a garage sale. I had only heard covers of this song and never liked it- the original blew me away. As good as some of the covers are nothing comes close to the harmonies and the sincerity of the original version. Such a sad and tragic song, but there's a Bee Gees trademark right there. Nothing is more sad and tragic than losing Andy, Maurice, and Robin Gibb all way too young and just totally unbearable for Barry Gibb and anyone who has a heart. Barry must feel horrible. I really wish I could meet him he'd be one of the few legends down to earth enough for you to sit down and converse with him. Hope is doing well and having as happy a start to this new year as he can. Love from Ben.

[@fernandoferreira6293]

This one word you chose, sincerity, is indeed something noticeable. It's not pretentious at all, they seemed to be attempting to communicate rather than convince, to express instead of cheaply please and captivate. This level of innocence isn't possible anymore for lately it would be taken for stupidity.

[@Bambi_Harris_Author]

my mum used to have all the bee gees music on cassette, this song gave me a nightmare I still remember about the disaster itself, beautiful song but definitely leaning towards haunting. They were always talented

[@67marlins]

I think I love your dear Mom for 1) Having great taste in music, and 2) Giving you such an endearing first name! The sing is very haunting, and terribly sad, I agree and am relieved that some others were as sensitive to it as I am.

[@Bambi_Harris_Author]

67marlins Yes i was grateful to my mother for my name because it has served me well as an author. My parents were eclectic in their tastes but I always gravitated to anything contemplative, there is something in the melody of this song that grasps you in a way

[@67marlins]

Bambi Harris Good point. One of the reasons I like Canadian power trio Rush is because their lyrics range from the Holocaust to recapturing good memories - not all their songs are 'boy meets girl', in other words. Can I suggest you give a listen to 'The lonesome death of Hattie Carroll', from Bob Dylan? Being an author, I am sure a great deal of imagery and prose will sweep over you. Good speaking with you, Bambi. Kurt from Massachusetts.

[@Bambi_Harris_Author]

67marlins I will give it a listen to and Im sure you know the beegees sing about Massachusetts :-) Nice to speak to you as well Kurt, i can always be found on facebook if you are in the ethers, have a nice evening

[@bchaitu]

@@Bambi_Harris_Author I loved the conversation you had with @67marlins . Its like two gentlemen with a deep thinking and kind soul opening their hearts to each other. I heard this song for the first time, and I felt it deep down my heart, and I am sure its going to give me nightmares same as you had back them. Stay health both you and @67marlins. Love Bee Gees ❤️

[@jalexrosh]

I grew up listening to great songs like this :)

[@michellereed5638]

I Just loved the Bee Gees. I went to High School in 1979-1981: and it almost seems like the best music came out between the 1960's (born in 62) and about 1988. I honestly quit listening to live radio by 1993 as "THE SOUND" I grew up with seemed to have all but died away! My favorite BEE GEE songs were not played on the radio anymore either. I loved: the album: Spirits Having Flown, and literaly wore out the vinyl record I had at the time. I also had the 2 record set sound track from the Movie: Saturday Night Fever. I listened to these albums forever. I had ONE decent boy friend in high school--he dropped out during our Sophomore year, but kept in touch for many years. OUR song was "Tragedy", we would dance our brains out to that song! Today when I listen to it, I think of Patrick and wonder where he is today. Most of the comments are turned off on all the Bee Gee song sites, so could not leave a comment until I hit THIS song. It is so sad that people have to be so negative. Thanks for allowing some of us to be able to leave some comments here. I have good memories of this music. Certainly did not corrupt me or push me away from my Christian beliefs. I just enjoy really good power harmony and a good beat. Thanks for the music! God Bless, and I sincerely mean that too. From the heart from Oregon!

[@MelissaPrather-yv2xd]

There they started a little bit before I was born I grew up listening to the Bee Gees. Saturday Night Fever came out when I was like 13. They didn't know it but they were very big part of my life. Sometimes I still catch myself crying over Robin and Maurice. The Bee Gees will always be remembered they will always be a part of my life a very happy part of my life. My prayers are always with his family and the families of Robin and Maurice. God bless and know that there are people out there that truly are grateful for you letting us be a part of your life

[@thawiphumtechaphan1340]

Go! Bee Gees. You are the best!

[@jaggass]

RIP Maurice and Robin. I wish Barry Gibb many more years of health and happiness. Colin Petersen is alive and well too.

[@BEEGEESMIAMOR]

Undoubtedly, a song that represents the prolific start in the composition of GIBB brothers. A song with history, its lyrical part and the story itself of humanity. Many thanks dear Marion, for giving us (and me) the opportunity to enjoy. BEE GEES IS MY LIFE. .......................................................................... Sin dudas, una canción que representa el prolífico inicio en la composición de los hermanos GIBB. Una canción con historia, en su parte lírica y en la historia misma de la humanidad.

I was listening to this song the other day, and my husband said, "Oh! the Beatles! Haven't heard this in ages!" I said, "No, it's the Bee Gees." He said, "No, it's the Beatles." I showed him this video to prove him wrong. He's always said he didn't like the Bee Gees, but now I think he's starting to comprehend their greatness.

[@vickifrance]

What a beautiful gifted and driven family. I hope they had a great childhood and that Barry is having a good life. May peace be with him.

Incredible atmosphere, B & R Gibb vocals and orchestral arrangements. The song was written, as far as I know, at the staircase at polydor Records when the lights had gone out and they pretended they were trapped at a coal mine. Inspired on an Aberfam Landslide a few months before.

Colin looks like straight out of a mafia movie! The Bee Gees as a five piece in 1967(well, actually a four piece in this movie, sans Vince) and their first international hit single. From the impeccable 1967 album Bee Gees 1st.

[@byrdlover305]

My husband and I happened to see a BeeGees concert on TV which was an HBO special in about 1998. We were BLOWN AWAY by all their singing. I'd heard their songs on the radio and in movies and liked some of them a lot but I'd never realized what amazing singers they were. Actually I even had a Saturday Night Fever cassette tape but that didn't really do them justice either. But watching them sing their hearts out was something I'll never forget. Towards the end they let the third guy finally sing a song, and we were doubly blown away!!! It was "I Started a Joke" and my husband and I were like Why does he only get to sing one song?!?!

[@robertaclark2996]
