open.spotify.com/album/4Dao8y...

[@abelincoln3287]

I really love early BeeGees. Check out "Massachusetts", "Lonely days, lonely nights", "Words", "To love somebody", "I have got to get a message to you"

[@suecook1326]

Excellent list!

[@kikidee2639]

​@penderyn8794not according to Barry Gibb

[@gagejackman]

​@penderyn8794Barry Gibb says that isn't the meaning

[@Mr05Chuck]

@@gagejackmanbut don’t we all have our own preferred meanings and truths and all that other woke stuff? So it means what it means.

[@jimfrederick3907]

In an interview Barry said "Loney Days" was his tribute to The Beatles.

[@susieq9801]

Robin was an admitted loner and very eccentric and felt for those reasons he was often misunderstood. He heard the melody for this song in a plane's engines over Germany. Many people believe this is about himself and saying things that were taken the wrong way and hurt others when not intended to do so or when being serious made others laugh. The original video is of distorted human shapes and fun house mirrors. Do people see us as we really are or distorted? A beautiful natural vibrato.

[@DerekBly57]

Just in case you need a good cry today: "Robin Gibb's son played this song just after his father died from kidney failure on May 20, 2012. Robin-John Gibb told The Sun: "When he passed away we went out, they took the equipment away and we came back in. I picked up my phone and found 'I Started A Joke' on KZbin and played it. I put the phone on his chest and that was the first time I broke down. I knew that song and its lyrics were perfect for that moment. That song will always have new meaning to me now."

[@IAmInfinitus208]

Was looking if someone was going to do this. Robin, man...

[@lisaswineheart6537]

The 60's Bee Gees music is more heart felt I think than the 70's. Have you listened to their song Holiday? That's a good one too.

[@eivindkaisen6838]

BeeGees had number 1s in the 1960, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s.

[@huchlvr]

I can't hear this song without getting teary eyed. Robin, you are my favorite Bee Gee . I hope you are all at peace.

[@tinareaume7484]

To Love Somebody is my favorite Bee Gees song, very early Bee Gees and one, if not the most covered song ever.

[@audracrawford8836]

Robin’s voice at its finest!!

[@kathystammen8774]

My obsession. BeeGees. I was fortunate enough to see them in 1978 during the height of the disco era however, don’t like to use that word because the Bee Gees are so much more than that in the early 60s in my opinion is when they had the best music ever, this is a signature song featuring Robyn, who in my opinion, had the best voice, but didn’t get the credit. He deserved because of his brother was so darn attractive.

[@LonghopeBro-ju6jl]

The Bee Gees reinvented themselves in the seventies around the disco era. They had a whole other successful career in the sixties and started going out of style in the early seventies. They were hugely successful in the UK where I lived before moving to the US in '67. Some of their songs from the '60s include, "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart", "Massachusetts", "To Love Somebody" and "Lonely Days".

[@60sbaby70sgirl]

Features Robin. His voice is so pure.

[@pjg58x]

I Can’t See Nobody Is another great early Bee Gees song. Others are To Love Somebidy and Got To Get A Message To You

[@dianaskrutskie7314]

I love the early Bee Gees. To Love Somebody is my favorite. It was also Barry Gib's favorite song. I also love "Fanny Be Tender With My Love". The Bee Gees are so underrated!

[@fifimsp]

Robin Gibb says, "This is a very spiritual song. The listeners have to interpret it themselves, trying to explain it would detract from the song."

[@winsomeblandford1076]

Thank you so much for playing this. Love Robins voice. I have him on my playlist.

[@bobpat56]

The Bee Gees album Odessa was one of my first albums in the 60s. This song, "The First of May" and "Never Say Never Again" were popular releases.

[@RuthBair-ht1fj]

Bee Gees actually started performing under that name in 1958 as kids. Can see first TV appearance in 1960 with Time passing by (written by Barry who was 13/14). Some early Bee Gees are Words, Holiday, 1st of May, How do you mend a broken heart and Lonely days. ❤❤

[@rong4189]

So cool you guys found the Bee Gees 1.0! (their 70’s stuff is as good as any of the time too) Lots of great stuff!

[@roydownes2458]

existential mysticism. beautifully and carefully composed and performed.

[@jimmythetout109]

This , of all the BeeGees hits , is my favorite . if Robin had gone solo , as brother Andy Gibb did , he'd have had his own solo recognition .

[@ilonahesseling4821]

As a matter of fact, he did. It was 1969/1970. Robin had a hit with ""Saved by the bell", remember?

[@grahamharley4895]

I laughed when I saw you were showing this. But when you actually listen, it's damn good. The joke was on me!

[@adrianstevens2146]

"Lonely Days", "To Love Somebody" and "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" are from this time, and are worth a listen!! I kind of hate that they went disco, but have a grudging admiration for "Staying Alive".

[@secolerice]

This is my favorite BeeGees song and the first one I heard and bought when I was 13 in 1970.

[@hackermusic3355]

I was a big fan of the BeeGees before their second career in the Disco era. Funny thing is when I was in college in the early to mid 70s most people thought of the BeeGees as oldies but a group of my friends and I still played their tapes all the time. A year or two later they were bigger than ever.

[@RyneMurray23]

Robin Gibb had such a unique voice. I really like it 🔥🔥

[@murraybozinsky7067]

The Bee Gees are another band with the ability to adapt to the era, from 60's to 70's and 80's their sound changed with the times. Few and far between.

[@AP-gb3eh]

Nobody cared what it was about! The Music - The Vocals- The Drama ! The entire album was addictive. I haven’t heard this in ages but I remembered every note . The Bee Gees started singing as a group as children and yes I remember their American debut on our tv ☮️

[@maruad7577]

Going from these 60s tunes to their later disco era songs was a shock at the time.

[@philipchambers4165]

Nobo'dy showing any love for 'New York Mining Disaster 1941? Their first US hit and one of the songs that blew me away when I first heard it in 1967! Bee Gees are a whole trilogy of books in the history of rock/pop music.

[@GetBackJoe1969]

The Bee Gees have very robust 60s catalog. Ignored by the early 70s then reinvented their sound mid 70s where most people associate them.

[@robinschwartz1024]

Early BeeGees was when they truly shined as a band. When the folk rock explosion started they kind of started to fade. Then it all exploded again with the disco scene. We all know Saturday Night Fever and Staying Alive put them back on the map. Although the discos played their songs and they were dubbed as Disco ... if you truly listen to the lyrics and the compositions, they were much bigger than Disco! They were brilliant! But to me, their sixties catalog is genius and unique. I encourage you to listen to their older albums. NY Mining Disaste, I've Got To Get A Message To You, Massachusetts... the list goes on and on!

[@joannedickie7863]

Love the pre disco Bee Gees.

[@christinewaide5249]

My favorite all time Bee Gees song. Robin’s voice is the best of all three brothers. ❤

[@jenniferrodriguez5337]

I agree!

[@davidsurface6787]

Great that you guys are hitting early BeeGees. In their early work like this, they were famous for wrapping deep, deep melancholy in delicately beautiful arrangements--it's almost like if the Beatles filled a whole album with songs like 'Eleanor Rigby' and 'She's Leaving Home'. If you'd like to see how deep and dark and lovely they could get, please hit 'Lonely Days, Lonely Nights', 'Massachusetts', 'To Love Somebody', 'I've Just Got To Get a Message To You', or (the deepest and darkest of 'em all...) their debut American single 'New York Mining Disaster 1941' (Yes--their debut single was about a mining disaster, if that tells you anything.. ;-)

[@SVT293]

Well put.

[@memorylane7068]

Lonely Days!

[@lsbill27]

The BeeGees had several hits in the 60s, those tunes are awesome! Much more creative than their 70s and beyond work. There was lots written about the big change in their music in the 70s. I have a drummer friend, Steve Rucker, who was their touring drummer for a few years in the 90s. I'll have to ask him if they played any of their 60s songs.

[@kellypickle]

Yes, you guys listened to three Bee Gees songs before nights on Broadway, which is a great song. Jive talking, which would be my favorite of the three listened to before this one And how deep is your love which is not one of my favorites though it’s well put together

[@daletwin1]

The Bee Gees early hits were great. Songs like: Run To Me, To Love Somebody, Lonely Days Lonely Nights, Massachusetts and How Can You Mend A Broken Heart.

[@TeresaMosby-sm4js]

How Can You Mend A Broken Heart was my favorite from when I was like 10 years old. Still love it. Lonely Days is really good too. I really like your reactions. It's like having my youngest son react to music i grew up with.

[@v.2080]

Really love the early Bee Gees. I think you'd really enjoy, though, watching the video of these 60s songs because they're so entertaining, and it's fun to watch them especially during this time❤❤❤

[@kellypickle]

I also really love early Bee Gees. I don’t love this song but I’m glad you guys listened to it. Bee Gees weren’t just about disco, though they were really good at it. I highly recommend, as I’m sure many will agree that these are the songs you should listen to next before you hit the disco “You don’t know what it’s like “ “ how can you mend a broken heart?” “You Should Be Dancing”

[@kirkkimball-martinez2402]

Robin! At his very best, he can hit the shivers on you like no other.

[@talltulip]

Please react to "Lonely Days" next. Great song. For literally DECADES, I believed and would've bet big money that "Lonely Days" was done by The Beatles! When I discovered (about 20 years ago) that it was the Bee Gees, my jaw hit the floor! I'd be interested to know if any others ever thought it was The Beatles.

[@sukie584]

Always reminds me of riding in the car with my mother who loved this song. ❤

[@peggie52]

PLEASE listen to For Whom the Bell Tolls by the Bee Gees (live version in New York) ❤

[@jenniferrodriguez5337]

You should check out a live performance of this one. Robin Gibbs got a standing ovation for this because his vocals are so flawless. His voice sounds so vulnerable. Hits in the feels e every time

[@kelleebowers8525]

Fanny be tender with my Heart is another wonderful song. To love somebody, and gotta get a message to you are 60’s bangers

[@luckylisa5496]

Love your reviews & have since your first vids. You asked, so early Bee Gees: Lonely Days, Nights on Broadway. All of them could sing in both they're lower register and falsetto. They swap vocal arrangements in many songs. So versatile.

[@kathystammen8774]

I have watched literally dozens of interviews with the Bee Gees and a lot of people want to know from Robyn because he wrote this song what it was about and do you know that he has never really truly answered. It’s just gonna be one of those unanswered questions you have to understand Robin’s personality. I think he battled depression. He was in a horrific train wreck when he was just 17 and it was said that there were like dead bodies around him and it really really messed up his psyche for a long long time.

[@user-ph9wt3ue7c]

Robin Gibb sang like he had a Leslie Tone Cabinet in his throat.

[@anitawright7169]

This so very beautiful and sad at the same time. Love the Bee Gees. Love your reactions! ♥

[@monkeyweather]

Robin had such an amazing voice

[@mals4125]

'Spicks and Specks' from 1966 is just the coolest of the Bee Gees songs from the 60s era. 'New York Mining Disaster 1941' from 1967 has a very Elanor Rigby feel to it.

[@dlpowers3898]

So good, the harmonizing is exquisite! The Bee Gees were so much more than just "disco" icons. They did amazing & beautiful songs throughout their career! thx for sharing Andy & Alex :)

[@MojoeWhirligig]

The live b and w footage of this song is something else.

[@BarbieJohnson-pm9ys]

They were inducted into the songwriters HoF, which was a most beautiful moment in their lives. And as well the RRHoF. More to those brothers than just Stayin' Alive!😊

[@JimiBurleigh]

Robin was the main songwriter and takes the lead vocals on this one. Tioraidh an-drasta 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@cayminlast]

When they were young kids 1955 they were "The Rattlesnakes", their international career as the Bee Gees started around 1967, my older sister was a huge fan and played their records all the time in the late sixties.

[@andythrush3341]

Yes, Andy, it is a blend of 50's and 60's blend. Simple blend of vocals and simple music. Just my thoughts.

[@MojoeWhirligig]

Love the video that faith no more fud when they covered this. Just a great cover too.

[@whatsinaname1890]

Robin, the lead singer and main writer of the song, was 18 at the time.

[@kathyrizzi8754]

This song right here is my favorite Bee Gees song…beautiful. ♥️🌹

[@mark-be9mq]

Loved it. Thank you, gents A bit of 60's contemporary folk sound. To Love Somebody, is probably their best early song musically. I think. NY Mining Disaster 1941, Massachusetts.

[@tdearsan]

Run to Me is my favourite BeeGees song

[@Isleofskye]

Reached Number 9 in The UK on 13th August,1972.

[@amymarckel420]

Robin heard the melody aboard a British Airways Vickers Viscount, it was a four engine prop plane and he said that the droning of the engine became hypnotic, taking on the sound of a church choir. When they landed they headed immediately to the hotel to write the song. Barry helped with the lyrics but it’s considered Robin’s signature song. May he RIP.

[@declancoyle3673]

That era was brilliant , they had some brilliant songs

[@stonebringer1]

🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 Wonderful

[@lt6134]

I bet you would love their song You Should Be Dancing!!!

[@DM-hk4cw]

They remained relevant to every generation. I love Robin's voice.

[@lindawulfkoenig4907]

Also, Robin's voice literally had perfect pitch...a real treat for the ears.

[@kirkhall2099]

Lonely days, lonely nights thumbs up

[@Here2There.246]

To love somebody is one to check out.

[@G-Q67]

Oh yeah...whenever I think of The Sixties I think of The Bee Gees...

[@kathytabas3560]

Sooo good!

[@ApricotRse]

Like Art Garfunkel, Robin had an ethereal quality to his voice than was both angelic and mysterious.

[@rosmeeker1964]

Their version of 'Blowin' in the wind' from 1963. Just kids then.

[@ilonahesseling4821]

As far as I know, this song is about a man did something bad. He thought he made a joke, but everybody was crying. When he realized what he had done and felt sorry, everybody started laughing on him. He and "the world", meaning the community he lives in, didn't understand each other anymore. They drifted apart and at least felt very uncomfortable and unhappy with each other. After his death, things became normal again, "which started the whole world living".

[@youngthing12]

[@karenvega7089]

The Bee Gees from the 60s was GREAT music. A Bee Gees album with this on it was my first album when I was younger than 10 years old. I have always loved their music.

[@jonisteinbach7240]

Robin sings this. I love it.

[@beckieabbott9342]

"Gotta Get a Message to You" is a good one.

Massachusetts is a great 60s Bee Gees song

[@user-tr9de6gm8k]

Robin had amazing vibrato.

[@tonielliott8659]

Massachusetts, I've gotta get a message to you, To Love Somebody, I can't see nobody, that's good for now

[@willow_wise]

Love it when you guys do Bee Gees songs, all eras. This is Robin's signature song. What is it about? Ha, noone really knows and Robin won't say, but I think everyone feels the depth of emotion, which is all that really matters. Bee Gees can do so much, through all the decades from late 50s all the way through 2001 (2016 if you count Barry's "In the Now". Many differnent sides. Thanks!

[@user-br4oy9no8c]

This song always reminded me of "Send in the clowns..."

[@jeffmorehead1311]

I've always thought of this song as having the meaning of living outside of yourself, not seeing yourself as others see you.

[@truthseeker3618]

Please listen to the BeeGee's New York miming disaster 1941, which is based on a Welsh landslide in Aberfan which killed 115 kids and 28 adults. It was a small mining village and rain caused a massive slag(coal) pile to landslide into a school and row of houses in 1966. Amazing song

[@jimsaco4334]

That and Holiday are my favorites early BeeGees hits.

[@sandybourdeau9300]

This song was popular during a horrible time of my life. It really helped me cope with everything but it’s hard to listen to today.

[@thingybob4375]

It's so f'ing hard when I can't afford to be a patroeon. please.please, please give these guys the thrill of The Damned - New Rose

[@andyandalex]

If you super super super love the pixies send us an email and I’ll get you a link to see the reaction on the house! - Andy

[@thingybob4375]

@@andyandalex The Pixies? what? No! Seriously - Andy, I fell in love with your channel when you were reacting alone, 5 years ago, and listened to Fame by David Bowie. You were like a nodding dog in the back of a car, but damn - you won't even know what nodding dogs are - they were a craze in the lat 60s/early 70s. I have always, always, always wanted to see you react to the The Damned - New Rose, the first ever punk single released in the UK. 2 minutes 45 seconds of pure thrash. hedonism, drums and bass...

[@ceeceerider]

Lonely Days, To Love Somebody, Massachusetts, please hit more early BeeGees!

[@amandathibodeau4996]

I love your reactions and have been waiting for you to discover the Bee Gees. Not the disco era Bee Gees, the group in general, which has spanned decades. This is from their early years. See My World, Massachusetts, Run to Me, etc. Then pre-disco, Mr. Natural, Edge of the Universe, Fanny Be Tender, etc. Then the disco era. Then writing for others, Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Barbra Streisand, Dolly & Kenny, Celine Dion. Then their later songs, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Alone, This is Just Where I Came In. The list goes on & on!

[@user-oz8sp8kn8o]

It amazes me that it seems only recently, with the advent of music reactions. that the Bee Gees have been recognized for their musical genius. Their music catalog spans 50 years and several genre's. They also wrote significant numbers of hits for other artists as well. This is one of the most antithical song from their very early years. You should definitely listen to more of their 60's and early 70's musical catalog. Robin's voice is very distinctive. Keep it up.
