I heard this on Pandora. one night and I could not stop crying..... Why did he have to go????? I better go to bed.....

[@cherandehr]

This is a beautiful song. I have a suggestion. Ever heard of the song, "Don't Cry Alone;" it's part of a requiem project Robin and his son Robin John wrote together. It was in honor of the Titanic and the people who died in it. It came out in 2012 due to the 100th anniversary of the Titanic's sinking. There's a very nice video of the song on KZbin. I remember the whole Requiem streamed online and at the end of it there was an announcement that Robin had gone in a coma. He died about a month or two after that. Robin and his brothers are special souls who were imbued with a talent that was really meant to speak to the world I think.

[@susieq9801]

The phrase "The days of wine and roses" was popularized by Oscar Wilde who Robin admired. The words apply to EVERYONE. Nobody can hear it and not consider their own life. He lost Mo. He was isolated from Barry. "Though two souls so far apart I pray it's not too late". Rob wanted contact with Barry in his grief. Barry wanted solitude for his grief. Rob was a deep thinker (the nut case as Mo once lovingly joked) and thus an amazing lyricist, perhaps the best of the brothers. Songs like this prove it. Barry said the train wreck brought out his pathos and IMO he suffered from PTSD the remainder of his life. He admitted it himself. Every word of this song has such deep meaning, not just for him but all of us. "Time and tide wait for no one". After Mo died he said he wanted to squeeze in everything he wanted to do like it was his last day on earth....and he did.

You've made me cry, Q. That's just beautiful and I definitely know that I couldn't have said it any better. Just love your take on our precious angel's heartfelt song. Now I'm going to play Chad's reaction for the umpteenth time and start to cry all over again.😥 ❤

[@susieq9801]

@@lauriebarnes2999 - We cry for him and, to be honest, cry for ourselves. Robin's introspection makes us think. As David English said, he was a kind man who knew the workings of the human heart. His joking and irreverence was camouflage and self preservation for a deep, sensitive soul. Though he was shy and seemed aloof to some, he observed everyone and everything and knew the human heart like a book. He put that into his lyrics and that's what reaches us all. Add to that his voice. He was a rare treasure. Maybe he WAS an angel, but a bit of a rascally one. Now stop crying or you'll short out your keyboard. 😉

[@lauriebarnes2999]

Yes, ma'am! I'm going to try really hard. And, you're right yet again about shorting out my tablet. I dropped it a few weeks ago and the glass shattered, lots of spider webs on my screen now. That's got me sad, too. 😥

[@Zlata1313]

Damn it Q, now I'm crying and Max is giving me a strange look. 😭 I agree, he definitely never properly dealt with/had help with the horrors he saw that night at Hither Green. Nobody should see that nevermind a 17 year old . Instead of celebrating Massachusetts being #1 he was pulling the dead from train carriages. How could that not affect him and his perspective on the fragility of life, from then on.

[@duckigrrl]

This is one that makes me cry. The funeral procession and the memories are hard enough but mostly it just reminds me of the loss of my son this year. Beautiful song, very touching.

Such a beautiful song from our Songbird. Emotional lyrics and melody. It seems to me that he's looking back at bygone days when he was happy which I believe is the meaning of the songs title. The pictures of him as a child with his brothers are very poignant and sad as these days are gone and will never come back. Happy and sad feelings from me. Happy to have known his songs and music and sad that he is no more. Great reaction Chad and thank you to the folks who requested it. Xx

[@susieq9801]

Re watched just now and chuckled a bit at "Every lining has a cloud", a twist on the old saying "Every cloud has a silver lining". The story of his life. He seemed a bit of a "Debbie Downer" at times. Maybe he was just a realist, something that many of us are afraid to be. He carried around his own little cloud. The hard luck kid in a lot of ways. Near drowning, hit by a van, train wrecks, avalanches. Geeze. Seeing Melissa @2:19 behind RJ, her grief was so palpable. She was always daddy's little girl.

Piano and angelical voice. Robin Gibb, my eternal idol, and my life's soundtrack.

[@gabyehebrecht7435]

Finally. I've been waiting for this song for a long time. I love it even though it's more of a sad song. It shows a mature person who draws his conclusions from defeats and strokes of fate. This text makes the listener become very thoughtful about life. Especially when you are no longer a young person, like myself. I am convinced that this song is very much based on the loss of loved ones and disappointments during his life. Robin's emotions can be felt throughout the song. Maybe he already knew that his health was getting worse. I love the musical arrangement.especially the bagpipes. A small hint at his love for his homeland?! All in all, a song for sentimental hours. Thank you, Chad

The remarks about the song say that it's about remembering beautiful people from the past, someone having gone away forever or someone far away. Wondering if his call would ever be answered if he dared to call. Also reminds the happy days of his childhood that were gone too soon. I spent too much writing this comment, so many tears flowing from my eyes 😥😥 but go ahead with this album Chad it's totally exquisite.

Gibb is also a Scottish name (clan MacGibbon) and his ancestors were weavers in Paisley, Scotland. His great great grandfather lost his job as a weaver when mechanism took over, then his wife died and he had to give up his children. He died in poverty alone. 😢 Robin traced his family on a UK program shortly before he passed away. I've played pipes since I was a kid, a LONG time.

[@christinestornable7492]

@@susieq9801 I believe their father was Russian however unless his father changed his sir name when he immigrated from Russia to a variance of Gibb then it's possible that the Gibb name may have taken on the Scottish nationality. This happened very often when people immigrated to America especially when they were young or orphaned or the names were shortened by the immigration service because the names were too difficult to pronounce or allowed the immigrants wanted to make it easier to assimilate to the American culture. I don't really how they did it in Great Britain.

@@christinestornable7492 - Whose father was Russian? Their father was Hugh born in Manchester, England. Their grandfather, great grandfather and great, great grandfather were recorded as born in Scotland. Their grandfather was born in Lanarkshire, Scotland. Matthew Gibb, their great grandfather, was born in 1849 and lived in Paisley. He was a weaver. When the weaving trade was lost to mechanization and his wife died, he had to give up his children to "The Ragged School for Destitute Children" and he died in an asylum from depression. Robin was on the UK show "Who do you think you are?" that traced his family. No Russian ancestry. British birth, death and marriage records are immaculate and go back centuries. No name changes and no Russian ancestry. Their mother's family, Pass, was also British.

Please don't react to the song "Sidney" from the same album. If so, I certainly wouldn't look at the reaction. This song is very personal and painful. For me, this is almost unbearable.

I find Sydney very sad but like it anyway. It is so beautiful and personal. When most artists are seriously ill they tend to stay out of the limelight but Robin seemed to want to get every last minute out of his life before he died even though he looked very ill during many TV and musical performances. We will never know if Robin wanted Sydney to be heard but I wouldn't be surprised if he did.
