A lot of people know the Bee Gees mostly from the disco era, but under close scrutiny, they have the strongest song book since the Beatles.

Thank you for this. I’m 69 years old and I can still remember every single word in this song but I can’t remember half of what I did yesterday. Music like this is medicine for me. Bless you for this. It brought tears to my eyes 🥰❤️🇨🇦

[pedromartinez]

When I hear this music I get depressed, not because I don't like it, I miss an era that would never come back.

When Barry is clean shaven all I see is Andy. Such a beautiful song!

[cindypattana]

This group was one of the best in music history. They wrote, composed and performed all their beautiful songs.

[jayritchie]

There are no "words" to describe how good this

[su-rvuq]

Just a beautiful song. The talent of the brothers was and is unmeasurable. I can't imagine what it's like for Barry now, alone.

One of the most underrated voices ever- Barry Gibb, an absolute legend

[RG-jasep]

Barry Gibb is truly one of the greatest singer/songwriters that has ever lived.
Icon, legend and superstar!

[adihalevy]

His singing voice is so unique, nobody sounds like that.

[JohnTurner-wo]

I'm not gay but Jesus Barry is a very beautiful man who really knows how to sing and write. Wow!

[RK-ggdd]

Elvis loved this song and loved Barry’s voice. So he included the song in his set list for his concerts.

[brad-bxmt]

Not only a great singer, but Barry was also a gifted song writer and producer. The true triple play.

[riadanabtawi]

I used to listen to this song a lot on radio going to college working on my MBA then, and coming home, you hear it from people carrying transistor radios sitting by the swimming. pool.
I will be 79 in the next few months.

[annemariekoutsky]

I sometimes use this song( Run to Me) in my prayer life. I imagine Jesus saying this to all of us. No greater love does a man have than to lay his life down for another. Good Shepherd, Jesus Lord and Savior thank you for loving and staying with me. God bless all!

[catherinepcs]

Back in the day I didn't think it was "cool" to like the Bee Gees, so I didn't pay them much attention. I'm kind of glad it went this way because I am now just appreciating them and their music and just soaking it all in. They were perfection and I am in total awe.

[jaytotheell]

one of the most romantically-worded songs in history.

[RetroMusicMan]

Sung by Barry in his real voice.
Just beautiful.
As the 70’s rolled in, his falsetto was all he pretty much sang in.

[naomijohnson]

I was a fan of The Bee Gees from the moment I heard New York Mining Disaster 1941. But when I first heard Words, I remember just being overwhelmed by its beautiful simplicity. I saw this episode of Ed Sullivan, and their performance still touches me.

When you realize Barry was just 20 when they made it big in America and Maurice and Robin were only 18 or 19 it blows the mind
