The Bee Gees "In the morning" (Morning of my life) - First version 1965

[@studiomickparker]

I took my seat in the middle on the rickety wooden seats on the sawdust floor in the tent along sideshow alley at the Sydney Royal Easter Show in 1965. The flap on the tent was closed and six people and I waited expectantly. Barry came out with his guitar and Robin and Maurice followed. They stopped about two meters right in front of me. I could have touched them. There was no sound system "just" a guitar and three voices, very close, six strings and three voices. They launched into Wine and Women and Song, Blowing in the Wind, I was a Lover a Leader of men, Take Hold of That Star, Kilburn Towers? In the Morning. And a few others. They were totally immersed and so was the audience of seven. It was a Beautiful Life Changing musical experience. I've found those songs on youtube. This is when they were at their best. The best 4 shillings or 40 cents I ever spent.

[@LittleAlice7794]

That's really cool...lucky you. But, Kilburn Towers wasn't written until 1968

Barry wrote this song.

[@kthor]

@@brcfan9Yep! Such lyrics came from a young Barry Gibb!♥️

[@brcfan9]

Barry Gibb taught himself to play guitar at 9 years old. Wrote his first song at 9 years old. Wrote over 90 songs by 12 years old. Signed his first five year songwriting contract at the age of 15 with Belinda Music in Australia. Won Australia's Songwriter Of The Year Award at age19. Barry Gibb is a Real Musical Genius and a True Living Legend.🥰🥰🥰

Yes he is & love Sir Barry!♥️

[@ahmeden-nia4158]

The Gibb brothers are the incarnation of the most beautiful values of the brotherhood, they loved each other deeply and sincerely , that's one of the reasons of the international success of their music band: the Bee Gees, the other reason is that they were born with an incredible talent; their impact in the history of Pop Music is huge and undeniable.

[@tanyahardy5065]

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!

[@MARILYNNEWTONGIBB]

BARRY JUST TOLD ME THAT HE HAS A NEW SONG FROM 1967 COMING SOON

[@cababyboomerq6012]

Gosh as a person who is the same age as the twins, these photos have 1950’s and 60’s written all over them. It was a wonderful time to grow up. Especially the 50’s. It was safe for kids to play outside, down he street, around the corner, blocks away, or where ever. All the kids did it. And there were enough kids to choke a horse. After all the men returned from WW2 most of them got married and started families. And even the Gibb boys who tell how poor they were say they had a blast playing near the water when they were young. They say they had a great childhood. It was safe for kids to just be kids back then. No matter where you lived or how much money your family did or did not have. Yes, they earned money for their family, but it was doing what they loved. And they still seemed to find plenty of time to do other kids stuff. These pictures really take me back……. It was a golden time.

I have always liked The Bee Gees, but after viewing all the early KZbin videos I have fallen in love with them! So deeply in love ❤️

[@ooohlaa13]

me too ... I had no idea that all the songs I grooved on and treasured were theirs ... it didn't sink in until this year I started to realize the thread running between all the songs I sang and loved were the same group, even the ones written for others speak to me from nostalgia. So glad I realized this I have gone back and watched and listened to everything I can find for months now.

[@sweetroland2691]

from their childhood till the end of their lives, they gave us amazing music that would last our lifetimes...just very grateful to the Beeges at this time of Covid...you lifted me up listening to you everyday...

[@MARILYNNEWTONGIBB]

THE BEE GEES WILL STILL MAKE YOUR LIFE HAPPY WITH THEIR SONGS KEEP LISTENING

[@angiecarey2011]

I saw the video of the concert of the Gibb brothers singing this song and Mo being a comedian about it. I tell ya, if there wasn't any horsing around once in a while, their life and concerts would be dull as a spoon. So yes! The three really do belong together. They're the only family band I know of that lasted as long as they did. If Mo hadn't passed on or Robin passing on, they would be still singing today either solo or as a group. They loved to sing. I totally get that. My parents had singing jam sessions almost every Saturday night, Grandma on the fiddle, my uncles and mom on the guitar and my aunts singing. I miss those days.

[@solitairestarr5516]

He was the elder, the leader and teacher... composer. Such a giving person, and in the end the last one standing. RIP Barry, you will be remembered and loved while our generation is still here ⭐

[@ScottPothan]

They were actually really big in Australia when I was a boy in the 60’s I rather idolised Barry he was so handsome and styly and they were regularly on television then. They were Australia’s Jackson 5 and as kids we all knew them at school. So I get annoyed when they and fans say their careers took off when they left for the UK or that gigs were hard to find in Australia for them. They were celebrities with a huge fan base behind them in Australia and New Zealand. Me included.

[@unavitadellamusica]

I like Esther Ofarim's version even better!

[@Greenwings701]

One of the sweetest and most prophetic songs by Barry Gibb. A little binocular back in time.

[@damialle]

I was a teenager in the ‘60’s and grew up with great music from the British Invasion, and like most kids, I was a big fan of The Beatles (and still am). But the first time I heard a song by the “Brothers Gibb”, I knew I had just listened to something special....the wonderful melodies, beautiful lyrics and amazing harmonies. One of the all-time great bands, I had the pleasure of seeing them live in concert in 1975 and it was a magical evening. Now, only Barry remains, but their legacy will live on forever. Rest In Peace, Robin and Maurice (and brother Andy), and I hope Barry will continue to bless us with great music.

[@cathylawrence7382]

Voices so pure and clear! How can someone so young write music that meaningful! Wow! Love it!

[@ooohlaa13]

I agree. Who can have such souls to write such advanced music and universal everlasting lyrics? I don't think they ever realized the magnitude of their talent, even Barry now, who says he doesn't read comments or feedback. I sometimes think to compile all this in a volume for him to know how much we savor every drop of music they brought our souls.

[@scoutfinch7727]

Everone says that same thing. They wrote To Love Somebody when they were barley shaving! (the twins may not even have been)!

[@missym7245]

It's always puzzled me too. Emotions are hard to express even when you have experienced them. Did Dad or Mum help them write?

[@yoya4766]

@@missym7245 No. Barry is just on another level. His dad said he had an instinct for what songs would work or not with an audience. People like them are born not made.

Sometimes I wonder where did the time go... All I have to do is look at my nieces and nephews and my great nephews and nieces. Then take a look in the mirror, that's where it went...

[@pikeman80]

I hadn't heard this one before. The rawness of music near the inception of a band is always so much better than their later commercial stuff

[@alexcarratu5554]

One of the most underrated songs of the Bee Gees. So many people remember them for Saturday Night Fever - which is classic, of course - but many great songs of theirs are from the 60s, yet are not played enough. The Gibbs knew how to write a good song. Just think: They are the second most successful songwriting team of all time. Sheer geniuses and talents all the Gibb brothers were.

[@TheReevessss]

Totally agree. Forgot about this early one until only recently & thought exactly as yourself. This song, really special. Clever, gentle crafting. From hand of a genius clearly.

[@rickahrens5994]

I'm so blown away by this song, very under underrated. So beautiful to listen to, and so much talent oozing from these guys. Amazing, must listen again.👍❤😁

[@alexcarratu5554]

Apologies for the delayed response. I totally agree with you both. Barry is one hell of a songwriter, not just for his brothers, but for others too. This song is pure poetry in every way. Only The Gibbs could come up with such great lyrics as these. Andy was a great talent too in his own right. Why Andy isn't as popular over here in the UK is madness. He was just as good as his brothers, some say even more so. Have you guys heard the live version of this song? It's amazing. Anyways thanks for your responses guys. RIP, Maurice, Robin and Andy. Keep shining, Barry. Your brothers would be so proud of you.

"...to the top right hand corner of the ceiling in my room..." Who else but the brothers Gibb could write lyrics that lasts in our memories for years. And Robin's lower harmony is perfect. They are the best of the best on so many levels...

[@lexsoft3969]

Robin at lower harmony ? When comparing their voices in their solo songs, I think it's Maurice who did the low register. Compare Maurice's voice in his song "Railroad" and Robin's voice in "Saved By The Bell" or "I Started a Joke". However, good catch on that lyrics part you mentioned : gorgeous harmony. Whenever people talk about vocal harmony in general that also includes other bands/groups, this song comes to mind. Of all Bee Gees songs, based on vocal harmony, I will rate in the following order : 1. This song 2. Melody Fair 3. Paradise 4. Too Much Heaven 5. Mr. Jones I probably miss some songs, but these are the most memorable in terms of excellent vocal harmony.
