1997 is the first year of my life that I can remember well (I was mostly 5, and turned 6 late in the year). I remember having a blast playing outside all the time with my brother and my friends, going to Pre-K/kindergarten, watching Disney movies and Nickelodeon shows like Doug and Rugrats, and going over to my best friend's house and playing dress up or Barbies, and visiting my grandparents. I definitely remember some of these songs being on the radio at that time, and it takes me back. I miss being a kid!

[@BSS22193]

Oh i really remember Lovefool by The Cardigans first of all because it's a really beautiful song. And because it was the very first song that i heard with The Cardigans and Nina Persson in 1997 when i was 4 years old. Because Nina's voice is so unique and cute that i falled completely in love with her wonderful and unique voice in 1997, and today The Cardigans is my absolute favorite rock band of all times, and Nina Persson is my absolute favorite singer songwriter of all times, because she is really really talented and amazing, and i really really love her voice and her music. 😍😍😍

[@laurasohn8332]

They were always good just the same. RIP Maurice and Robin Gibb

[@robertanthonyfairweather3416]

The Bee Gees actually came back in 1987, with the album _ESP_ (known for _You Win Again);_ the following year, they released the album _One,_ which was in memory of their youngest brother Andy. In the early 1990's, their father also passed on, but Barry survived cancer, and their album _Evolution_ (known for _Secret Love)_ was released; then in 1995 they released _Size Isn't Everything_ (known for _For Whom The Bell Tolls)_ before releasing _Still Waters_ in 1997 (where _Alone_ came from). As you know, Maurice Gibb passed away in early 2003. Like Run-DMC with Jam Master Jay's passing in 2002, the band no longer performed as the Bee Gees. Robin Gibb did a tribute to the Tsunami disaster of 2004, while in 2006, Barry Gibb collaborated with Sir Cliff Richard for _Fields Of Gold_ for the latter's album _Two's Company._ Robin Gibb passed away nine years after Maurice, on the 21st of May, 2012 (3417 days after his twin brother).
