BEE GEES | For Whom The Bell Tolls | First Time Reaction

[@lindajames978]

Robin's voice touches you'd heart and soul. You're not the first to shed tears when really listening to the words they singing perfect harmony 😢❤❤❤

[@debortahwelch9298]

This is one of my favorites mainly because of Robin's voice, I think however if you what whenever he sings you can see the emotion on his face. I love The BeeGee's but as I have gotten older have really started enjoying each of their voices individually. RIP Robin and Maurice. Thanks Barry.

[@janiceheavin7066]

Robins voice is phenomenal! He is unreal and my favorite! ❤

[@mariekeung7187]

Love your reaction, especially to Robin's chorus. His voice is amazing. I can understand how you got emotional when you heard him sing. Robin's voice does that to you. As Maurice said, Robin sings from his heart so you can't help but feel the emotions his voice invokes in you. It is one of a kind and can never be duplicated or imitated.

[@JanS1]

Great to hear Robin's voice so prominent on this track. Lovely!

[@vickiestill7382]

I am 70 years old and the Bee Gees are the only musicians that I can listen to every song on the album. Every one of their songs is a wonder. For me they are the best group EVER!!!!!! 💜👍👏🤗

Listen to Robins voice. It's haunting and yet beautiful. This is a spectacular song. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@francisxray9900]

That's not only a song, it's real art of music. A anthem. The difference between them and many of worldclass musicians/songwriters, is their ability to always find the way to both heart and soul of the listener. But it seems to me, some of them have shields, so they don't want to be overwhelmed by emotions. These are the ones, negatin' them. What they don't understand is, theres no competition needed in music. Music is a gift for us all, to find our inner flame. And it helps us to survive. In case of the Bee Gees, they searched for a way, to bear the loss of Andy.

[@robertaclark3286]

Nothing can compare to Robins voice.He took this song over the top! Love this song. Love Robin always.

Gorgeous song. I haven't heard it before, but if I ever need a reminder of just how beautiful Robin's voice is, this is what I'll listen to. I remember their little brother well. Crazy talented like his brothers. His descent into drug use was fairly public - the tabloids were all over it. His family tried to help, but it turned into a tragedy.

[@ridedamaverick]

This Is Where I Came In is one of my faves, too. So is I Started a Joke.

[@dagnelpaula1]

The title of the song, 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' comes from the title of a 20th Century novel by Ernest Hemingway, who borrowed it from a line of a sermon by the 15th Century poet and cleric, John Donne. (It basically refers to the church bells that were once rung upon the death of a person.) I've heard that they wrote this for their younest brother, Andy, after his death. I think the most amazing gift The Bee Gees had was to make almost every single one of their songs so instantly relatable, that you can't help but connet to it DEEPLY, upon the first hearing. (So many times, we have to hear a song a few times, before we really get into it, but they made you connect to it, instantly.) WONDERFUL reaction! It's hard NOT to be moved by their music in some way!

[@kenhamaker]

I agree it sounds like for Andy and yes Barry and Andy had a special relationship, basically twins themselves.

[@Donizen1]

I believe also it is relating to Andy's failed relationship with Victoria Principal and his slide into a drug-filled life and eventual death at a young age. She left him due to his problems and he never recovered from this.

[@kthor]

Barry said in a 2009 interview with Tim Roxborogh that this song wasn’t written about or for Andy, but about heartbreak in general…..& especially when someone’s lonely.

[@karenflinner5313]

Aren’t they wonderful?!! That’s why fans continue to listen to their songs 30-40-50 years after they’ve been recorded. I read somewhere I think that this song was written about/for Andy. This would have been just a couple years after his death.

​@@kthorRobin said in an interview that he wrote it about Andy and Victoria Principle.

[@kthor]

@@kathieovercash8414 I've seen this comment before on YT & not sure where it came from. First, it was written by all 3 & I've never seen any of them say it was about Andy & Victoria. A couple songs from the One album were written for/about Andy & that album was dedicated to him. Of course this song wasn't written about their father, but the Size Isn't Everything album was dedicated to him as he passed away a year earlier. From what I've read, this song isn't about anyone in particular, but about mortality, reflection, loneliness & the passing of time (per Barry's interview with Tim). I also don't think they'd ever write a song about Andy's broken relationship with Victoria. They wouldn't allow Andy's duet with her (All I Have To Do Is Dream) to be on a compilation album, so I don't think they'd wanna profit off his broken heart as well.

[@joyceanderson3165]

It's a very emotional video, I agree. I never get through it without tearing up. I've watched it for years. Church bells toll for people that have passed away and for all human kind. Thats what the saying means. Then you have Robins voice, the statue of liberty and the buildings where so many died. The video is a flood of emotions especially with the twin towers there. Makes one think of life before that awful day and all the people lost that were in those buildings, the families hurt etc. Yes it's a very emotional video. And I thought it was just me 🤣💚

[@LuckyDawgProductionsModerator]

In another interview Barry had said what it was about. The parents themselves blamed Andy's girlfriend for his decline. The song was written because they were all in pain and perhaps blaming the wrong person. It was a shame. The lyrics give it away.

Their little brother Andy died in 1988 from a heart infection after a battle with drug abuse.Barry was very close to him.All 4 of them were married young and divorced ,and later remarried.The song is about heartbreak,breakups,and loss. "For whom the bell tolls".

[@lauraallen55]

For whom the bell tolls is a phrase that originated with a line from a famous poem by John Donne: ‘Never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.’ This particular phrase was also made famous by Hemingway in his novel of the same name. A bell tolling in this context is for when someone dies.

They are talking about a lot of fish in the sea. They are saying that there is only one person who will know you as deeply, intimately, all the foibles and fears, you have, Because they have only loved one person the same way and allowed themselves to be known by them. There aren't many people who REALLY know you in this life, and these lyrics are talking about how you can take that kind of love forgranted and not realize how rare and precious it is until you see yourself losing it.

Yes, the extreme, desperate feelings are classic Barry. They channeled their grief after losing Andy into a few songs. WISH YOU WERE HERE and TEARS were the first. (Have tissues handy.) Also, they dedicated DON’T THROW IT ALL AWAY to him at their Vegas concert, which is one of Andy’s hits that they had written for him, and not to be missed. For more classic Barry lyrics, please react to ANDY GIBB I JUST WANT TO BE YOUR EVERYTHING, his first single released, and a #1 hit. There’s an absolutely perfect video of him performing it LIVE on DON KERSHNER’S ROCK SHOW. His full 24 minute set is also available, and I won’t be mad at you if you decide to react to the entire set!!!
