  • "Massachusetts" is a song by the Bee Gees, released in 1967. Written by Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb. Robin Gibb sang lead vocals on this song and it would become one of his staple songs to perform during concerts on both Bee Gees and his solo concerts. It later appeared on their 1968 album, Horizontal.
    The song became the first of the group's five No. 1 hits in the UK, reached No. 1 in twelve other countries, peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and eventually became one of the best-selling singles of all time, selling over five million copies worldwide. When the brothers wrote the song, they had never been to Massachusetts. In a UK television special on ITV in December 2011, it was voted third (behind "How Deep Is Your Love" and "You Win Again") in "The Nation's Favourite Bee Gees Song".

    Lyrics
    Feel I'm goin' back to Massachusetts
    Something's telling me I must go home
    And the lights all went down in Massachusetts
    The day I left her standing on her own
    Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco
    Gotta do the things I wanna do
    And the lights all went down in Massachusetts
    They brought me back to see my way with you
    Talk about the life in Massachusetts
    Speak about the people I have seen
    And the lights all went down in Massachusetts
    And Massachusetts is one place I have seen

      I have just seen your comment on this tune (Massachusetts) you made two months ago.
      I'm very sorry but I didn't see it before as it was classed as a spam message.
      Anyway, I'd like to accept your thanks and want you to know that getting great feedback like this is what its all about and makes it all worthwhile.
      So a big thank you to you for letting me know.
      Take care,
      Dave

    Hi Dave,
    WOW ! The best version I've heard so far. Beautiful tone and your playing is so emotional ! You remind me of Robin Gibb and my younger days ! Thanks. BTU&5*****

    Great achievement David Monk, this melody recently inspired me to launch a philosophical message, and I needed an instrumental version to materialize that message and your version seemed perfect to me. I wanted to ask if I can use it; I do not have any commercial and economic interest, only for personal use with an entertainment purpose and to send that message to the one who visualizes my file. If you do not agree to use the melody I have no problem in removing the video. regards

    Hi Dave - I've got a chair just like that - do you find the arms get in the way when you play the guitar and you have to sit on the edge of it. LOL
    Back to the song - yes makes a very nice instrumental and you played it very well - great tribute to Robin.
    All the best... Phil

    Hi Phil,
    Yes...spot on!
    I have searched high and low for a comfortable chair with quickly detachable arms.
    So far no success under a small fortune.
    If I'm doing the green screen I swap it for a stool, so it doesn't show.
    I like the comfort of the arm chair for general computing.
    Thanks.
    All the best

    Hi Ian,
    It sounds as if you might have liked it!
    I agree the backing track is superb. Others are too fast.
    I put quite a bit of thought into how I was going to do the ending.
    I don't use the expression pedal enough because I have my pedal on a keyboard tray in the desk, and I am too lazy to get it on the floor.
    Really pleased you liked it 'cause I do too! LOL
    All the best

    Hi Dave!
    This is an excellent version of this Bee Gee's classic and played beautifully with a great tone and lots of feeling in your phrasing. Robin's loss was so sudden but he will always be remembered along with the music he helped to create
    Best Wishes

    I chose a slow backing track especially as it carries so much more emotion in it.

    High Dave Monkey Tonight, I'm listening to Busy's Masachusetsu, I've always liked this group, I've been listening to your performance, I've been listening to it nostalgic, even if I take it, your performance is smooth Even if I take the sound, I'm listening to it, and I feel sad and soak into my heart. Thank you for the wonderful performance even if I take it. I'll listen slowly.

    Hi, Dave :
    Great sound here, and I agree, that the slower tempo and change of key are more suited to the message you're trying to convey, which is a tribute to Robin, who has left us much too soon.
    Wonderful job, Dave !
