Bee Gees To Love Somebody Reaction

[@jaybrielakoi7747]

Bee Gees To Love Somebody Reaction Video starts at 01:51 1. This song should be longer. I feel like it's cut short, I wanted more. Like at least a couple more minutes. 2. I felt like the cello was very prominent for some reason and also the french horn played a couple of prominent parts in my opinion. ya i don't know why but that's what I heard. 3. Felt like they used ALL the instruments 4. I love the push and pull in this song with the dynamics.

[@mujahidamin8504]

By the Way, this song and others by the Bee Geese were featured in a 1971 film called Melody (or SWALK). Worth checking out the movie for nostalgia and entertainment purposes.

[@kathystammen8774]

Wow 60s BeeGees is some of my favorites 🫠

[@kellysargent1116]

I love the way you "break down" a piece while you listen to it. This is my all time favourite Bee Gees tune. Heartbreakingly beautiful tune that stays with you long after hearing it.

What a bout their everlasting songs of the sixties such as ( First of May , In the morning , Run to me , rest your love on me , Don't forget to remember , How can you Mend my broken heart , My world , Words , Tomorrow , lonely days , Melody fair , I started a jock , Massachusetts , Holiday , ) and so many more from the sixties era by the bee gees .

[@rwilson7197]

Yes! Some of their 60s songs are FAB!! I love Barry's strong natural voice here. " And the sun will shine" is one of my favorites from the 60s about a young man idolizing an unattainable girl he has a crush on.

[@ANNEAVES]

Glad they won you over. Geniuses.

[@sylviategroen1583]

They have been underrated so much.. being icons)..luv them🤩🤩🤩...they are so amazing n gifted💯💯💯💯💯

[@deborahjones6066]

At the time stamp of 4:14 where the tiny pause is and Maurice comes in with the high sound of "Ahhh", Maurice does a right forward shoulder roll b4 hitting the sound ...on the actual video clip from '67...idk why, but I like the shoulder roll! Lol...I also like that it's only Maurice voice. So often it's hard to pick out a singular voice in this group (unless they want you too!).

Run to me is very good Bee Gees song!!!!

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Anybody who doesn’t like the Bee Gees ‘60s music hasn’t listened to the Bee Gees ‘60s music. They did some of their best work in the ‘60s. Check out “Words” and “I Started A Joke.”

[@sylviategroen1583]

Was written for Ottis Reading..but he died. So they recorded it!!! glad they did..

[@dorieann64]

They were very young when they wrote and sang this, maybe 17 and 20.

[@dortheyc5276]

The fact that they're just insanely talented songwriters with 1 hundred songs that they wrote for themselves as well as other artists being in the top 10 and their diversity is why their music has lasted over 7 decades. Their brother Andy Gibb was an amazing singer songwriter as well. He died too soon in 1988 at the age of 30. Mo died in 2003 and Robin in 2012. They are by far the most talented musical family in the history of music. RIP Andy, Mo and Robin.

[@Tessiefaye]

This song was written for Otis Redding to sing but he died in a plane crash before he could sing it. So The Bee Gees sung it themselves. I heard Berry said that he thought that it didn't do so well in the UK because it was an obvious R&B song and they weren't ready for that.

Thanks Jay, BeeGees To Love Somebody 8/10/23

[@allisons3663]

This wasn't their biggest chart of the 60's, but it is probably their most enduring song, maybe of their entire catalog. It has since become a pop standard with so many cover versions. A classic written by a 20 year old (Barry) and a 17 year old (Robin). Their live version from 1989 is really good.

[@jaybrielakoi7747]

If you gotta lot of covers you’re probably awesome.

[@Cthulhu013]

At last! The 60's Bee Gee's win your heart. Cool reaction, Jay.

[@beegeesbuster1]

As some has already written. This song was written for Otis Redding. Unfortunately he died in a plane crash before he could record it. So The Bee Gees recorded it themselves and this is the result. It is one of their most covered song and my favortite cover is Keith Urbans from the 40th Anniversary of SNF Grammy Tribute for the Bee Gees in 2017

[@jaybrielakoi7747]

KIETH URBAN...wow

[@dawndeleon3765]

@@jaybrielakoi7747 Keith did an awesome job. But this song has been covered by Janis Joplin, Hank Williams Jr., Michael Bolton, and Michael Buble, just to name a very few. It has a great template to just take off and do it how you want, and take the melody line where you want. This is probably my favorite Bee Gees song. I used to sing it pre-pandemic when I was doing open mics and the coffee house thing, and I LOVED it when the other players and audience members would jump in and sing harmony with me on the chorus. edit: I commented before you read the list of covers! Yup, it's a great song.

[@vonyroces7878]

simply a great song that has been covered by many artists. the melody has a timeless quality.

[@jaybrielakoi7747]

Anytime a bunch of people are covering a song you know it's gotta be good.

[@leosag816]

If I recall correctly, it took Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone”, to force radio stations to play any song over 2 or 3 minutes. They would split that song into 2 sections & drive their young audiences wild. They were deluged with complaints & finally got the message.

[@TheFfuuu]

[@simonaldridge82]

Another really deep song words

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

I wish it was longer, too. I think that the radios wouldn’t play a song over three minutes, in the 60s and 70s. That’s why Skynyrd’s record label discouraged FREE BIRD, which we know turned out to be VERY successful. I was about grown before I knew the BGs had a career in the 60s. It’s actually one of my favorite songs, ever.

[@jaybrielakoi7747]

ya this song is good. I think it makes sense you know radio was basically just as important as TV now. It's interesting that music as a business has come such a long way. It's so different than it was before.

[@RandomJane104]

It's one of my favorites.

[@jaybrielakoi7747]

Good stuff

[@francisxray9900]

Yeah, now you developed their greatest gift to the world. A song not only played by well known artists. Ev'ry real musicion (including myself), loves that song, because of it's endless possibilities to work it out with your own creativity. Also done by the Gibb Brothers in so many different live-versions. That point of view is perfectly matched by the versions of Nina Simone, Janis Joplin and Leonard Cohen or Keith Urban. By the way: In the sixties, they also where real rockin' in songs like "In my own time", "Idea", " The Earnest of being George" or "Lemons never forget".

[@brendajones9321]

Barry & Robin performed this song (plus JiveTalkin') at the 2006 Prince's Trust Concert, after Mo's death. An older & ailing Robin sang lead on this song & seemed to be singing to his lost twin...very emotional. A young Prince Harry seemed very affected by their performance, which is on KZbin.

[@jaybrielakoi7747]

these guys are such legends. I almost cried watching the funeral procession for Robin.

[@brendajones9321]

@@jaybrielakoi7747 Robin's funeral procession was very beautiful & sad; and I did cry as a white-maned Barry gently floated a long-stemmed red rose into Robin's grave.

[@jvsmith7888]

The Brothers Gibb originally wrote this song for Otis Redding but he died before he got a chance to record it, so the Bee Gees recorded it themselves. This is probably the second most covered song in the English Language with nearly 500 covers and counting. Many other artists have had a hit with this song.

[@mujahidamin8504]

One of the best - No, it is the best Bee Gees song of the 1960s . Its got everything - lyrics - Big Sound acoustics - Beat and Rhythm - Barry and Robin in good form. I agree that it needed another to be a third longer. They seem in great spirits and wonderful voice. Overall the emotion intent of the song grabs and shakes you all the way to the end and beyond. Good choice and reaction.

I've seen people with medium sized lips play it perfectly fine but I wasn't one of those people. The notes are just so close together. I don't know how people play taht instrument. You can be just a little bit off and you hit a different note 2 octaves higher.

[@lindataylor5636]

This song was covered way more than the people you named, probably too big a list to mention everyone, if there was a version where the other side was How Do You Mend a Broken Heart that song came out years later, it was one of two songs they wrote after they broke up for 18 months, this song was meant to be sung by Otis Redding a huge soul singer in the sixties but he froze to death after his airplane crashed in Madison Wisconsin, so they recorded it itself, I think this is when they would start writing songs with other artists in mind, which came in handy when they had to move behind the scenes after the disco sucks period and the Bee Gees were so aligned with disco their brand was ruined for a time, never fully made a comeback in the US, you should react to their Medley from their One For All tour, it has songs from the sixties, songs they wrote for other people and some from the disco period

Yes it is a great song... To me, they were at their peak in the 60's....

[@jaybrielakoi7747]

peak in their 60s? WHy do you say that. I'd argue late 70s

[@Cthulhu013]

@@jaybrielakoi7747 There's quite a bit of hidden gems in their 60's catalogue, some hits, some not. Most of it overlooked especially after they changed their sound and became super popular. It's pretty common for the die-hard Bee Gee's fans to prefer the pre-disco era, which is usually how we categories Bee Gee's. Pre-disco era, Disco and post-disco era. I suppose the fact that we do that lends argument to the idea that disco Bee Gee's were the peak, as it basically defines them. I'd say cohesively, there disco work is objectively better with hit after hit. There's really not many a bad song in their disco era, whereas there are at least a couple stinkers on most of their 60's albums. May I suggest another 60's song? It's the very one that broke up the band for a few years. First of May. It was the battle between it as the single or Robin's Lamplight. Barry's song won, so Robin left the group. Bad history aside, it's a good Barry solo performance.

[@kraigburningham4288]

This is one of those songs, kind of like "I got to get a message to you"; it was a 60s song, but as they performed it over the years, they had refined the arrangement so that by the mid-90s, it's the best versions of those song. You should contrast them yourself to see if you agree.

[@jaybrielakoi7747]

Interesting. You’re right. You’re super right. That would be an interesting compare and contrast.

[@allisons3663]

They once admitted that they were not happy with the recordings/arrangements of their early albums and yes, by the 80's and 90's, the live versions were better than the studio versions. "To Love Somebody", "I've Gotta Get A Message To You" and "Words" were much improved in live versions.

Another GREAT song that has been covered a lot from the 60's is "Words"

[@jaybrielakoi7747]

And being covered is a sign of genius.

[@dortheyc5276]

A lot of people believe (And I used to be one) that this song was written specifically for Otis Redding, and that the BeeGees decided to record after he died. I thought so too until I realized the dates didn't match up to that story. Otis loved the song when he heard it. He mentioned it in an interview or something. He was going to cover it. The BeeGees couldn't have decided to record it after he died. To Love Somebody was one of the songs on the BeeGees first international album called BeeGees 1st. That album was released in mid July in 1967, several months before Otis Redding was killed in a plane crash on Dec. 10, 1967.

[@DougRayPhillips]

You asked if this was their biggest Sixties hit. Nope, that would be "Massachusetts."

[@jaybrielakoi7747]

massachusettes was alright but not a fav for me.

[@DougRayPhillips]

Well, you still have 60s stuff to try. [I checked what you've already reviewed] There's: "New York Mining Disaster 1941" (pretty strange pick for your first U.S. single release, but it worked out okay) "Words" "Holiday" "And the Sun Will Shine" (not a single, as far as I remember, but popular) "Gotta Get a Message To You" "I Started a Joke" "First of May" Robin's lead songs from the "Odessa" album: The title song; "Black Diamond"; and "Lamplight" (none of those were singles, but Lamplight was the b-side of First of May... and that was a controversy that split up the group for a year... thus ended the Sixties)

[@KelliViti]

In the early to mid 60s all songs were pretty uniform / formulaic & no longer than three minutes. Only in late 68-69. Through the mid 70s. Did that change. Due in part to the emerging drug culture. Converging with the rise of the singer song writer. As well as prog rock, & the blues based heavy experimental rock of Led Zeppelin. Emerging in 69. Though the songs on the first Zep album. Were old delta blues classics of the 20s & 30s. The way it was played was experimental. Nothing like that fusion / sound existed before.

Speaking of cello check out the electric cello by Tina Guo doing the Wonder Woman Theme: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnqVcoamZctqfbc Bee Gees: My understanding is that era wanted really shotsongs for radio. 3:00 or under was par for the course. My intro was on greatest hits albums so I never realized the era. I definitely recognize their voices on every song and even the ones Barry wrote for other artists has a recognizable sound to me.

Another great reaction! I like the way you analyze songs and I get the feeling you say your true opinion about the songs. As opposite of Tragedy this song sounds better on the One Night Only concert in 1997 for some reason. About the length of the song. In the 1960s-early 1970s songs should be limited to around three minutes because of radio playing time. I know you say you don´t like the 60´s Bee Gees much, but that is probably because you have not reacted to the best 60s material. The Bee Gees most successful period was in the late 70s, but many people would say they were best from late sixties to mid 70s. (Personally I love all decades of The Bee Gees) .
