Massachusetts was written in 1967 in the flower power era when a lot of young people believed in having a political voice and was a major landmark in the Bee Gees' career being their first German No1. In fact , it was a world-wide smash hit, topping the charts in Great Britain, Holland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Belgium and Norway! Robin Gibb said of this song that it is not literally talking about people going back to Massachusetts but represents all the people who want to go back to somewhere or something. It's about people who want to escape.
I will remember Lord Robin Gibb.... just have to say that you sound so relieved on this video and so relaxed! Love your smile just warms me through and through!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
