The Bee Gees- 'First of May'

[remedialy]

@filipinijunkie my tears almost run down my face.... im touch'

[ruswhit60]

I was 11 years old when i first heard this song in 1971. It reminds me of the first girl i thought i loved. Times were so different then. Never again will there be times as innocent as these. Just look around you or watch the news.

[virginconvicts]

this song is why i am named robin. i was born on 1st of may

[ironbark1100]

Our little boy ,who loved christmas , apples, opened presents with shaking hands , died at 22 years old... So sad , he never saw his own little men grow up.......

[crashtestdummy98]

First of may first of may outdoor fucking starts today!

[computerrage]

@crashtestdummy98 First of Nov ...Started snowing ..Now her little bump is showing ...Although her face looks oh so bonny .. I wish I'd worn a rubber johnny

[FuryJ22]

but you and i, our love will never die. <3

[fanclng]

Merry Christmas.

[aljonodtojan2]

what a beautiful music that i heard......

[cherrymoon39]

Superb!

[MegaBlink01]

eto ang theme song ng magulang ko.... sadly my father died three years ago :(

[Andyo183]

Amazing that one song can mean so much too so many people. 35 people have no idea that music is not just about noise . Let us all raise a glass to all our loved ones who have passed away. God bless them and us all x

[marksmithwillis1971]

god bless. this song is proper!!

[Tedone2]

Now 35 idiots and tone deaf a...holes

[TheHitDetector]

This is one of my favourites of the Bee Gees' tracks....It is so beautiful. These Guys were something special in the diverse nature of their work. Presenting us with a huge choice of beautiful music. This is very sad track ...very stirring indeed.

What wonderful quality entertainers they were. They had style and were proud and loyal to each other as they demonstrated on a tv program when they had to leave it whilst still on air....Good on ya!!!!!....It is sad that that was my last recollection.

[sunonthewindow]

Our lives can be pretty stressful sometimes. The pressure of college, the ratrace, the competition for money, for success, for attention. Traffic jams, concrete, stress, pain, old age. You've got to learn to throw it away. You only have a handful of years on earth. You've got to stay young at heart. Go out for some fresh air. Climb a mountain, drink from a stream. Run along the beach. Spend time with family and friends. That is true happiness. God Bless you all

[MsEva1952]

Bee Gees Forever <3

[apollostodomingo17]

it always brought back the memories of my childhood...when the x-mas tree was taller than me...

[142bernadette]

I am resorting to this song as part of my grieving for my younger sister ( a Carmelite nun) who died today at the age of 57. First of May was her favorite song... and i never got to ask her why... my best friend has passed on... i trust she's now at peace in the Father's loving presence, after a bout with cancer.

[unastellamihaparlato]

✿ A song from a time with a more human face ✿

[CJoanLin]

@cidertony I am so sorry.... One of my friend passed away years ago. His brother was trying to comfort him and said ' we all going to die one day, some leave earlier than others, and that's all.. Hope you said all you have to all love ones and we will always miss you , but will join you later.' Please enjoy each day.. and hope you could beat the C.. Praying for you.....

[GodofDeadLuke]

34 idiots lol

[salinang88]

This is a great song. I listen to it over and over........

[Littlestevieboy]

" The apple tree, that grew for you & me... " amazing...

[fortscout54]

@cidertony We are only here in this material world for a short time; find the beauty in all things, and remember we are immortal souls that will understand the divine plan when we join our creator in heaven.

[valenciabirdy]

[ThePeteanne]

I was dating my first girl friend when the song was released.... Now we are tall and christmas trees are small....Guess who cry come first of May but I never cry though love was gone.....Don't ask me why.....We have children of our own.

[nomiclas]

@ThePeteanne show your wife your comment and be so thankful you never have felt this loss.

[walter4092]

i don t have any problem with heavy metal fans , the reaction i wrote was for a joke because there are people who don t like this song .i will delete the reaction , i don t want to go in discussion , everyone has the right to listen to their music

[CreziFella]

@walter4092 I love heavy metal songs... yet bee gees are my favorite.. I don't see how heavy metal being the problem?

[Deltamaster1965]

Don't ask me why,but time has passed us by..

[kez51able]

SO MANY MEMORIES OH HOW I LOVE THESE GUY'S,XX

[MsBtxbtx]

xmas song

[katyladybuglittle]

i was a young teen at this time. i think their early music moves me more now than it did even then. my daughters used to make fun of me for liking their songs. i have failed as a parent. maybe not, one of them is a beatle fanatic

[ArielllNicole]

This will always remind me of my daddy, when me and him were slow dancing in my kitchen to this song and he would sing it to me, i love you daddy, thank you for the gift of great music. <3

[kez51able]

My favourite Bee Gees song of all time.....

[arnikalm]

I listened to the Bee Gees as I grew up. One of my favorites bands. How is it possible that I have never heard this song??? What a lovely surprise to have a new Bee Gee favorite after so many years!

[MrAllthru]

Oh My, just one of the most beautiful, sad songs ever written. Check our Sarah Brightman's rendition of this song. My throat just closes up and tears fill my eyes

as I listen to this song. It brings the most beautiful pain in my heart.

[beckysidblease]

lost my mam in 07 and i still cry at this song

[yanee27]

this song reminds me of my father :( he passed away 3 years ago. :(( i miss you papa

[filipinijunkie]

My all time favourite Bee Gees song...........

[ziGGie007100]

reminds me of when i was small and christmas trees were tallx

[scruffybum1]

I will always listen to this come first of May, day when my son was killed by a hit and run driver. RIP my darling Fabi. Hope to see you one day.

[ziGGie007100]

@scruffybum1 so sorry for your loss. This song reminds me of my mother who i lost also xx

[scruffybum1]

@ziGGie007100 Thanks, I also am sorry for Your loss. I can´t help but wonder sometimes if the pain lessens, everybody says it does, with time, can´t see that happening right now though, and it´s been over a year.

[wpollock1]

Check, that - vocal by Barry!! So much better than when he is in the falsetto mode.

[wpollock1]

I had the vinyl of this album and just discovered this gem. I thought I knew all the big hits, but somehow missed this one. What a great vocal by Maurice.

[claudiosabetta1]

IS A LOLEVY SONG FOR ALL THE LOVERS !!!

[jwx57]

this is such a very great song

[viedude]

immer hab ich mit euren liedern fernweh gehabt und jetzt hat es sich wieder bestätigt..ihr seid die besten.

[nobrainQQ]

This music was on my childhood cause my parents had a vinil with it =) I was lucky.

[GSG9SNIPERELITE]

por dios!!! 30 locos que no saben de música, y para rematar se ponen a ver clásicos como este, que nunca entenderán, para después decir "no me gusta"

[akduclos]

robin gibb ju

[harryl5]

lost my wife in 2003 she was 57. this still brings a tear to my eyes

[aeonbollig666]

@harryl5 lol

[Lia717]

@harryl5 God bless you Harry.

[trullyfy]

@harryl5 Sorry for your loss, I was lost my beloved hubby on January 7, 2007, this song always remind me of him.

[gibsosgerbil]

When Your Grandparents Get Very Old They Die.

They Go To Heaven On A Spaceship and it will be gone in the galaxy.

[Nawsteth]

Damn, I missed it by 2 months

[pabpappaw]

This was a very special song for me & my first love in the 70's. We have both moved on & are both in happy marriages, but this is still special to both of us after all these years. Simply a sweet touching song that will stay with me forever.

[gibsosgerbil]

How Old Is Maurice Gibb?

[pumaboy77]

@gibsosgerbil

He died couple years ago but he was in his late 60's

[evamarie60]

@pumaboy77 Maurice Gibb was born Dec. 22, 1949 and died January 12, 2003........He was only 53. It's sad that he's one of the talented people that was taken too young....His twin brother Robin will be 62 this December..and Barry Gibb will be 65, I think, this September . No matter what their ages are now, they did make some of the most beautiful and memorable music ever...thanks for posting this Graffitist! Love the Bee Gees!!

[pewploid]

@evamarie60 Maurice is dead ????

[evamarie60]

@pewploid sadly, yes....I just read an article that said he was working on new music with his brother Barry and Michael Jackson when he died...it was an obstructed bowel...very sad...the Bee Gees are awesome and will always be remembered and played!!

[bronagh25]

GeorgiiiiRaWK ...thats was a good comment..........NOT ya sad fker

[markflem]

Can someone tell me why there are 4 bee gees on this record cover?

[ckmusictx]

@markflem. The fourth Bee Gee is Colin Peterson, the band's drummer. Peterson left the band about a year later.

[pumaboy77]

@markflem

The 3 of Gibb Brothers & their drummer.

[bronagh25]

the fureys are far better at singing this song....FACT.



[GeorgiiiiRaWK]

@bronagh25 You have the IQ of a sunflower...FACT.

[CJoanLin]

@GeorgiiiiRaWK I heard once from an attorney that 'one cannot make sense with an a**hole', so why trying..

do you agree? Don't mind about that guy then... I enjoy your comment though... Maybe the Sunflower has higher IQ ???.

[GeorgiiiiRaWK]

@CJoanLin lol thanks...

[Friesi49]

Da fühlt man sich doch gleich um Jahrzehnte zurück versetzt. Toll.....

[lgoopio]

Truly an under-rated classic! I thank my parents for sharing this and Bee Gees for sharing their music.

[ninaCist]

This song reminds me of my friend Jessie, i can't find him, Fb, Ym, Twitter... (last comment at 28)

[gibsosgerbil]

I Used To Watch "The Land Before Time 4: Journey Through The Mists" It's An Animated Adventure Film About Dinosaurs That Live In The Great Valley When It Became Misty. Littlefoot The Long Neck Dinosaur Falls In Love With Another Long Neck Dinosaur Called Ali. Littlefoot and Ali are Happy Love Dinosaurs and They Fall In Love Together.

Their Favourite Dinosaur Buddies are Cera, Ducky, And Petrie.

Does The Land Before Time Movies have Dinosaurs?

[Yolandeyeo]

sometimes dream to return back

[Rasputinho2010]

The line goes, do what better look to the future, the past is the dead, the future belongs to God, but at least we can make our choices.

[zeissghost]

Thanks for posting this under-rated classic.

[pahduarte]

@zeissghost Unfortunatelly this is very under-rated.

[paleyans]

Thanks for posting these original albums of the BEE GEES. Listening to their great songs really lessen my tension. Thanks.

[mistery119]

very good, wonderful********

[gibsosgerbil]

Reminds me Of Ali The Long Neck Dinosaur From "The Land Before Time 4: Journey Through The Mists." We Saw The Animated Adventure Film "The Land Before Time 4" that the story of Littlefoot and Ali always fall in love together better then adults getting married. Do You Think Ducky Is A Stegosaurus In The Land Before Time Movies?

[gibsosgerbil]

Do You Think It's A Romantic Song?

[gruntovenbarf]

awesome, sad song

[TheAchim59]

simply good, classic, timeless...will forever love the BeeGees!

[nicksai2]

i am only 20 but this will always be my favourite song.

[ogalamil]

Beautifulllllllll

[TheZepity]

On the "very linear minds there not place to sentimental way of live or sentimental songs" like 60's and 70's when we love truly and the parents was very importants for we.Boys and girls hold hands or kiss only the eyes on eyes say ok! Today the first is the bed...after it... good bye baby!

[edgarchico1000]

Thanks for loading all the songs from the 1970 original album of the Bee Gees. they're all memorable songs..../

[corfuman51]

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,

we used to love while others used to play.

Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,

someone else moved in from far away.

Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,

and you don't ask the time of day.

But you and I, our love will never die,

but guess who'll cry come first of May.

I love this song. It is one of my faves. I had the pleasure of hearing Barry sing this song while I was standing only a few feet from him. It was a day I will never forget.

[tradison]

I'm glad there are others that listen to this song on the first of May. Brings back a lot of memories. Where does the time go?

I wish everyone a healthy and happy year and maybe we'll meet back here next year..

Happy First Of May! I never forget to listen to this song on May 1st for the last 2 decades. I listen to this song since I was 6 years old. I do recall a lot of childhood moments each time I listen to this song. It really touches my heart, really.

[IwshIcldstrtover]

[ralle1955]

I close my eyes and drift away....!

[Sykoze]

@maths36 It did, but really not much more, when listening to Led Zeppelin XD

And not all music is shit today, the problem is that you're listening to the crap on the radio and not looking for the good. Most of the good bands just aren't well-known.

[catherine969]

Stripemister, know exactly what you mean. we woke up in the same bed! it is a bummer but, at least we are getting there. we lived through the 'best of music ' time. magic summers with radio caroline , evenings with radio Luxembourg, let's grow old 'disgracefully' it'll be more fun that way.

[nigiri1983]

いいと思います。

[mrsdaipunk]

a fab song !!

[Tahlexia]

Ahhh the memories!

[123trollwarlord]

I always remember those days that we've got home in Mandaue,
