My dad passed away yesterday and now I'm making a playlist with all the songs he loved and I remember him by. This is one of them. Thank you dad for showing me the greatest artists of all times. Loved, missed and never forgotten 🤘🔥❤
So sorry for your loss. May you and Dad unite with the Father in later years. For now, may the comfort, love, and Blessings of the Father cover you and yours. 😇🙏⛪🔯➕😘🙅❤😊
My dad make me great singer as i could listen， remember and able to sang all song he play to me without a lyric display. He didn't had proper education for his whole life， but he can speak 10 languages fluently
Je suis une vieille dame Française qui a passé sa jeunesse sur ces musiques magnifique groupe, des voix sublimes qui berçait mes années d'adolescente❤❤❤❤❤ Quelles âmes soient près des anges et longue vie à celui qui reste pour nous donner encore un peu de bonheur.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Que bonito..e tão triste saber que tudo nessa vida passa...só oq não passa são as graças de Deus 🙏🏻eu dedico essa canção a vc que está vendo esse comentário ,de todo coração.
Belíssima canção parece que não somos eternos e que o nos resta é plantar boas sementes que gerem bons frutos, como sempre BEE GEES nos trazendo emoções ..👍👍👍👍👍👍
As i grow older, this song brings tears to my eyes...the passing of time, the pain of love and the realisation that nithing lasts forever....Love with all your heart those close to you and cherish every moment with them.
As I am getting old, I get emotional easily n become a crying baby for beautiful songs, memories, good old days... That were good days, a little that I realized. I guess its a natural process of getting aged. BeeGees made so many beautiful songs.
I battle to just accept it because although, painful and difficult sometimes life is just so beautiful.Life is short and we realize it to late.We should just love one another,learn to forgive and live each day as if it is our last.
I born on 2000 but my heart belongs to the 70,80,90’s songs ❤️ The best generation of music industry. Thank you Bee Gees for making us a super wonderful and memorable beats and rhythms. 💯
Born in 1960 I grew up listening to these fabulous boys. With a wonderful carefree childhood seeing these boys play together brings back so many memories of days gone by with my siblings. You can’t help but feel sorry for today’s generation who sadly will never have what we had, childhood wise or music wise. Makes me so emotional to think what I have lost and they will never have. 😢
My god how have I never heard this song??? I absolutely adore the BeeGees and it breaks my heart that I'm hearing this for the first time today. How is this not still playing on the radio? Such a beautiful and touching song and the video with it just had me in tears. These guy hands down are the best singer/song writers of all time. Love, love, love them!!!!!
Oh so sad for that but we here in Phil. I think radios been playing this songs every sunday even before i was born..i can still remember waking up with these songs early in the morning as my father used listen to radio while having his coffee..
I remember Barry saying he would trade all his music to have his brothers back. Watching the brotherly love between Barry and Robin in this film I can understand why. So sad... Barry lost his brothers far too early.
I totally agree with all that you said here, David. Barry has buried 3 younger brothers, and both parents. 😢😢 "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" and "Tragedy" are such appropriate song titles now. 💔💔 As of today, 4/30/21, their only sister, Lesley is still alive and is 76 years old, being about 20 months older than Barry. 🤗💖
@@michaeltriba1307 and sadly little sister Berry (Lesley's first born raised and later legally adopted by Hugh and Barbara) died unexpectedly in Las Vegas a few weeks ago after her 2nd COVID vaccine. Sadly due to COVID there will be no funeral, but a memorial will be held in September which would have been her 57th birthday. Her mum probably wont be able to attend though given travel restrictions in Australia. 😥
@@CharmaineW Thank you; I knew little about the Bee Gees ONLY sister, and even less about Lesley's family. This is SO very sad! 😢 I can relate, because in 2005, my mother was still alive, and had to experience the death of her first baby, my sister Anne. It is hard to imagine anything as heartbreaking as a mother losing her child. 💔 Thank you for alerting us, Ms. Charmaine. i will let my 3 surviving sibling know, and we shall all pray for the surviving members of the beloved Gibb family. 🙏💘🙏💘🙏💘
Lindíssima essa música dos Bee Gees. Esses caras são um dos melhores cantores do mundo. Por incrível que pareça, as músicas dos Bee Gees são todas lindas.
My favorite song of today May First 2024. From my favorite Bee Gees only double album "Odessa". I only saw them once in my life in 1971 for the 2 Years On tour. They had their band an a orchestra for my show at age 14. My older brother age 21 took me and my niece age 7 to this wonderful concert. What a awesome memory of this time. God Bless the Gibb brothers.
@@MARILYNNEWTONGIBBWell..since you ask..I was 7 years old in '66.We were all still in England(my family and I are English Scottish Irish),and my Mother had yet to spring on us her plan for us to emigrate to Canada.I saw the Beegees twice,both times at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto..first in '75 after Main Course came out,the second time was the Spirits Having Flown tour in '77.I saw a lot of concerts as a teenager in the 70s but the Beegees were the only group I made the effort to see twice.
I was born in 1996 and I remember how my grandfather used to play these kinds of songs from Bee Gees. Even to this day; when I hear any song from them, the memories of my grandpa and grandma are vivid to me.
Maybe for me there are some at the top, u can't say who is better, different styles. Bee gees shares the top with beach boys (Brian era) Beatles pink Floyd Abba the Byrd's Dylan MJ Gregory Isaacs rolling stones peter tosh the who... ... Traveling wildburys Elvis jolly brothers the Congos and many more
Que bello verlo tan chiquito a Robin y tan jovencito a Barry .Y ese abrazo que quedará para la eternidad.Tengo un nudo en la garganta cuando veo este vídeo pero sino lo veo me siento peor.Que ternura se nota lo protector q era Barry con sus hermanos .Que felices se los veía!!!No los olvidaremos jamás por tantas canciones hermosas q dejaron!!!
This song is a masterpiece. Heartbroken and melancholy, we can all recognize a little bit now that so many of us are elderly.

Now ,it's clear to my mind the deeper meaning of the lyrics of this song " The first of May"!!! The beautiful relationship of two brothers!!! What a relationship!!! Wonderful, Wonderful!!!
@@michaeljudge3401 Michael, as much as I respect your reply my belief is that Jesus Christ never existed and neither did God! The earth was created through natural creation and space! Thanks for the reply.

Que linda música me emocionei, estou com 69 anos e fico feliz de voltar atrás e viver momentos como este, nasci numa época que havia valores humanos e respeito e hoje vivencio que a humanidade não mais sabem sequer a existência destes enesquesiveis de cultura humana.
Olá minha cara Suely. Somos uma geração de ouro. Soubemos Oque e ser feliz.nossos amigos. amores. E quantos sonhos que ficaram pelo caminho. Mais e a vida um abraço.
E nesse 1º de setembro Barry Gibb completa 77 anos. Feliz aniversário Barry e obrigado por tantas letras e musicas lindas que fez e nos deixa ao longo de sua vida de sucesso.
"First Of May" 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, some one else moved in from far away. [chorus] 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 we'll cry come first of May. The apple tree that grew for you and me, I watched the apples falling one by one. And I recall the moment of them all, the day I kissed your cheek and you were mine. [chorus] When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall, do do do do do do do do do... Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by, some one else moved in from far away. You're welcome💕

This was the first song that I heard in the movies a theme song from a Mark Lester movie and I was hooked on the Bee Gees for life . When I miss my late wife I play this song .
My brother, 3 sisters, and I grew up with the Bee Gees! Born in 1950, I was less than a year younger than twins Robin and Maurice. I have listened to their songs tens of thousands of times, and played them on the piano thousands of times. I never quite realized until now what a sad and tragic love song that "First of May" is. It sort of mirrors, their lives, doesn't it? 💔💘💔
@@judykhan5922 Without question, my friend! You and me and millions of other loyal Bee Gees fans!!! Thank you for your devotion to the Brothers Gibb!!! 💘💘💘
@Michael Triba, I was born in 1956 in Brazil. Like you, I've listenned to The Bee Gees's songs ten of thousands of times. Among all of them, the one I've liked the most was surely "First of May". I used to sing this song everywhere, everytime, even I'd no idea what was the meanning of it. I was a teenager and no knowlegde of English language (and I don't have it well until now) but I often tried to sing it. Yesterday, 1st of may 2021, I offered this song to a friend for her Birthday. She is 30 years old and have never heard about The Bee Gees. So, I was trying to know a bit more about the song, when I read your post. 😥😥💔 So haven't I. (you said: "I never quite realized until now what a sad and tragic love song that First of May is). Thanks anyway. For now on, I will look after more information about. At 60th, 70th , 80th this was impossible and very few we knew here in Brazil. And as adult, the attention was through work, home..... God bless you.
Thank you Ms.@@marialee7321 ! 🤗 Yes, when we were growing up in the 50's and 60's, we listened to the music, but did not pay as much attention to the lyrics. Even if we did, we were too young and immature to know the meaning. Now that we are in our 60's and 70's, we have the UA-cam videos and lyrics sites on the Internet. The artists of those years, The Bee Gees, Moody Blues, Beatles, etc. were only 3 to 8 years older than us. Their songs showed a LOT of wisdom for such young musicians. I am happy to hear that you are sharing the music of our generation with younger generations, I do the same thing. 🎵💖 God bless you too, Ms. Lee! 🙏🙏🙏
Bee gees com certeza foram uma banda tão profissional tão bem sucedida que daqui mil anos se ainda existir o planeta Terra eles serão lembrados , esses irmãos cantavam dimais pkp 👏
Meu Deus, como é linda essa canção e ela me arrebata e me enche de saudade da minha querida irmã que se foi esse ano vítima de vários tumores no cérebro, e como os Bee Gees preencheram todos os dia da minha juventude. Esse vídeo me deixa emocionada por tudo que eles viveram, emocionaram e tocaram os corações. Triste também pela morte ter separado esses 3 irmãos. Deus ilumine sempre cada um onde estiver❣️❣️❣️
Nossa. Muita coincidência. Também perdi uma irmã. Com situação parecida. E que adorava músicas do Bee Gess. Escutava muito e sempre. Essas músicas sempre me faz lembrar dela. Saudades demais
Na vdd são 4 irmãos lindos ANDY, ROBBY ,MAURICE e o BARRY agora triste em saber q só o Barry vive dá um aperto no ♥️......😭😭😢😢 Só saudades do eterno Bee Gees
Verdade , eu também estou passando por essa mesma situação. Minha irmã também partiu a 3 mês deixando muita , muita saudade. 💔🖤 meu pai e minha mãe. ano passado. Aí Jesus quanta falta eles fazem.😭😭😭💔
Happy First of May as we remember an epic group whose members have all left us, except for one. These guys showed us the true meaning of the word, "melody"! The lyrics make me reflective and sad, but, oh, what a masterpiece! Released on March 8, 1969, reaching # 37 on April 19. Should have been #1.
😢 this song makes me cry because it is so beautiful but I think of my two sons that have passed away, perfectly healthy two young men that died in their thirties.😢🙏🌹
I don't remember this from when it was first released but when I heard it many years later I cried like a baby. Such beauty and heartbreak in those lyrics and music.
What a beautiful and profound love you Gibb brothers have for one another. This love will live on long after our earthly bodies leave this world. Love never dies and I can feel Maurice ‘s and Robin’s spirit and love every time I play a Bee Gee song.
Concordo 100% contigo Tui. A propósito veja aqui ,existe uma cidade na GALICIA, ESPAÑA que tem teu nome e é onde minha mãe nasceu. ABRAÇOS E feliz Natal, AMIGO.
I know most people think of this song the first of may, but we always listened to this at Christmas time since I was a little kid. I still do every Christmas season. Still makes me cry. Barry❤️
This song is so gut wrenchingly beautiful and sad. Can't get through listening to the first line without blubbering. The power of the written word by three of the best songwriters that ever lived.
I have always loved this song and this is the first time I have ever seen this video. Ever seen a grown man cry? I'm crying right now. Long live Bee Gees music.
John S wow, I’m so sorry to hear that. Some people have too much grief in their lives. I pray for nothing but great things from this point forward buddy.
Parabéns por ter vivido a dec de 60,sinto uma ponta de inveja pois daria td pra saber como era nessa época,acho q a vida era simples porém muito mais feliz.
Child of the 60s. My whole family grew up with the bee gees. Learnt the words to every song. Watched the one night only concert in 1997. Nothing will ever beat the life and music of the 60s and 70s. Loved first of May so much, that my daughter was born on this day. Raj from pmburg, kzn, south Africa. Born in 1961. Old music 🎵🎶 keeps me alive and kicking 😅😊❤
All the people who were at the one night concert (1997) They are privileged, one of the emotional moments was when they sang the song "don't throw it all away" greets from México 🇲🇽
Hi George, greetings from raj Pillay, south Africa. Music unites the people of the world. When the music hits u, u feel no pain...bob Marley. When u listen to music u feel happy., When u sad , u listen to the words of the song. Enjoy the music. Peace, loves and blessings to you and your family and friends.
Pycargue Yes they are over the top , multi- talented brothers , down to earth human being , the best of the best , they are a true legends. Their music will always live in our hearts....
This just rips my heart out! Watching these two brothers playing together when they were so young, knowing how the years would sometimes separate them, is so very sad. If you really want to cry, though, watch this, then follow it up with Robin's song, "Days of Wine and Roses." It you're not in tears by the time you're done watching, then you don't have a heart. And don't even get me talking about "Alone" where Barry sings the line "and I don't wanna be alone," and it shows him at the end, alone in front of the microphone in the studio. Oh my precious Barry, hold on and be strong! And my dear Mo, Robin, and Andy, I miss you so!
É muito triste para mim ouvir Bee Gees e saber que 2 foram levados por uma doença tão maldita. Que pessoas lindas! Que vozes maravilhosas! Que saudade...
Rose Freitas - At least I guess we can be thankful that Maurice went quickly and didn't suffer as long but his death was not necessary. Robin suffered a long time and wasted away to a skeleton. His beautiful voice became barely a whisper and then was taken completely by a tracheotomy tube. Both very sad. :(
I was in my early 20's when I heard this song over the radio... Now I am turning 41 years old next month. Happy 1st of May 2023 everyone. Let's enjoy life and try to be happy while we are still here.
Its about when they were little, so christmas trees were much taller than them and now look small and then .. It was written by Barry but not about his first love, as many people believe. But about their first dog, which arrived on the first of May. A beautiful song, wonderfully written, to be interpreted as if it were about young love, or even brothers or sisters. But mainly about childhood memories and their beloved pet.
This identifies many of us, because I think it is there, in our childhood / adolescence, where our best memories are ... Your comment is very true, I had read it once.
Just saying-- Barry didn't say it was about his dog. He said his dog Barnaby came to him on the first of May, so Barry (also backed by Maurice later) used the "First of May" as a good TITLE for a song he was then writing. The lyrics themselves weren't referring to Barnaby.
I feel VERY sentimental and emotional and sad all in one while listening to this beautiful song! I lost my mum 14 years ago today! So sad a nd painful and beautiful! I think this was filmed in my city! Sorry to be so morbid! This is one of my FAVOURITE Bee Gees songs!
Essa música é a que mais me emociona, me traz lembranças maravilhosas de um tempo que sei nunca mais vai voltar mas que carrego comigo até o meu fim. Era anos 80 e eu, muito jovem, lembro do meu pai ouvindo BeeGees nas viagens que fazíamos. Jesus, como foi bom ter essa música como trilha sonora da minha infância.
When I met my husband he loved this album and had a massive cassettes tape in his car and we listened to this during our courting days. I love it and it takes me back to those love filled days of Hopes and dreams. Sometimes things don't work out but love never dies. RIP Chris xx

Only Jesus Christ gives hope after this life.

Michael, as much as I respect your reply my belief is that Jesus Christ never existed and neither did God!
The earth was created through natural creation and space!
Thanks for the reply.
@@nicholasdavies6264 Really interesting perception & awareness. Well take this. Existance is perceptions.Reality is just illusions.It's all just a dream.
All it is in GOD's mind.God can un think you and you didn't and won't even exist anymore.Just like a dream.We are just a dream where anything & everything is possible.
Period!🤗😛😂
Que linda música me emocionei, estou com 69 anos e fico feliz de voltar atrás e viver momentos como este, nasci numa época que havia valores humanos e respeito e hoje vivencio que a humanidade não mais sabem sequer a existência destes enesquesiveis de cultura humana.
Olá minha cara Suely. Somos uma geração de ouro. Soubemos Oque e ser feliz.nossos amigos. amores. E quantos sonhos que ficaram pelo caminho. Mais e a vida um abraço.
BROTHERS GIBB!!
Ainda bem que existe youtube ...que saudade dessa epoca
Eu e minha irmã gêmea Nadir também gostamos muito dos BeeGees! 70 anos em maio de 2022!
É verdade amiga!
E nesse 1º de setembro Barry Gibb completa 77 anos. Feliz aniversário Barry e obrigado por tantas letras e musicas lindas que fez e nos deixa ao longo de sua vida de sucesso.
Some of, if not the greatest, songwriters ever!
"First Of May"
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,
some one else moved in from far away.
[chorus]
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 we'll cry come first of May.
The apple tree that grew for you and me,
I watched the apples falling one by one.
And I recall the moment of them all,
the day I kissed your cheek and you were mine.
[chorus]
When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
do do do do do do do do do...
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
some one else moved in from far away.
You're welcome💕
Hello Sheena Gane. How are you doing?
Hope You're Doing Well and all Is Good!
Thanks! for posting the Lyrics to this Song for Everyone Listening.
Have a wonderful day!
I believe that verse should read "The day I kissed your cheek and you were gone".

I'm 67 year's old. As time fast passes bye, the more I cherish this song. The past 60 year's seems like yesterday.
Listening to this song in quarantine, memories of childhood, remembering my beloved brother, passed away on past march. Love you brother.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my brother 14 years ago and I miss him every single day. We were only 3 and a 1/2 years apart and very close.
May your beloved Brother rest in peace

Linda e triste.
Os dois irmãos se abraçando é emocionante..
hoje raridade dois irmao se abraçarem o amor da maioria se foi
make me cry too
Barry is good singer zBarty nice voice
This was the first song that I heard in the movies a theme song from a Mark Lester movie and I was hooked on the Bee Gees for life . When I miss my late wife I play this song .
My brother, 3 sisters, and I grew up with the Bee Gees! Born in 1950, I was less than a year younger than twins Robin and Maurice. I have listened to their songs tens of thousands of times, and played them on the piano thousands of times. I never quite realized until now what a sad and tragic love song that "First of May" is. It sort of mirrors, their lives, doesn't it? 💔💘💔
You know I had to listen to this song today....
@@judykhan5922 Without question, my friend! You and me and millions of other loyal Bee Gees fans!!! Thank you for your devotion to the Brothers Gibb!!! 💘💘💘
@Michael Triba, I was born in 1956 in Brazil. Like you, I've listenned to The Bee Gees's songs ten of thousands of times.
Among all of them, the one I've liked the most was surely "First of May". I used to sing this song everywhere, everytime, even I'd no idea what was the meanning of it.
I was a teenager and no knowlegde of English language (and I don't have it well until now) but I often tried to sing it.
Yesterday, 1st of may 2021, I offered this song to a friend for her Birthday. She is 30 years old and have never heard about The Bee Gees.
So, I was trying to know a bit more about the song, when I read your post. 😥😥💔
So haven't I. (you said: "I never quite realized until now what a sad and tragic love song that First of May is).
Thanks anyway.
For now on, I will look after more information about.
At 60th, 70th , 80th this was impossible and very few we knew here in Brazil.
And as adult, the attention was through work, home.....
God bless you.
*and as an adult....
Thank you Ms.@@marialee7321 ! 🤗 Yes, when we were growing up in the 50's and 60's, we listened to the music, but did not pay as much attention to the lyrics. Even if we did, we were too young and immature to know the meaning. Now that we are in our 60's and 70's, we have the UA-cam videos and lyrics sites on the Internet. The artists of those years, The Bee Gees, Moody Blues, Beatles, etc. were only 3 to 8 years older than us. Their songs showed a LOT of wisdom for such young musicians. I am happy to hear that you are sharing the music of our generation with younger generations, I do the same thing. 🎵💖 God bless you too, Ms. Lee! 🙏🙏🙏
Still love it 40 years later
same here, i play it every year may!! remembering my late dad.
Another very special gem of a song from the Bee Gees .
Bee gees com certeza foram uma banda tão profissional tão bem sucedida que daqui mil anos se ainda existir o planeta Terra eles serão lembrados , esses irmãos cantavam dimais pkp 👏
Com certeza!!!
This song cuts very deep into the soul.
Thank you English World for Bee Gees !!! ( from russia )
Meu Deus, como é linda essa canção e ela me arrebata e me enche de saudade da minha querida irmã que se foi esse ano vítima de vários tumores no cérebro, e como os Bee Gees preencheram todos os dia da minha juventude. Esse vídeo me deixa emocionada por tudo que eles viveram, emocionaram e tocaram os corações. Triste também pela morte ter separado esses 3 irmãos. Deus ilumine sempre cada um onde estiver❣️❣️❣️
Nossa. Muita coincidência. Também perdi uma irmã. Com situação parecida. E que adorava músicas do Bee Gess. Escutava muito e sempre. Essas músicas sempre me faz lembrar dela. Saudades demais
Na vdd são 4 irmãos lindos ANDY, ROBBY ,MAURICE e o BARRY agora triste em saber q só o Barry vive dá um aperto no ♥️......😭😭😢😢 Só saudades do eterno Bee Gees
Verdade , eu também estou passando por essa mesma situação.
Minha irmã também partiu a 3 mês deixando muita , muita saudade. 💔🖤 meu pai e minha mãe. ano passado.
Aí Jesus quanta falta eles fazem.😭😭😭💔
@@marianogarotto4874 Verdade...eles jamais, sairão dos nossos corações,cantores maravilhosos...
😔😔❤️🌹🌹🌹
Sinto muito por tua maninha que se foi, Maria. Que Deus a tenha em Seus braços.
Happy First of May as we remember an epic group whose members have all left us, except for one. These guys showed us the true meaning of the word, "melody"! The lyrics make me reflective and sad, but, oh, what a masterpiece! Released on March 8, 1969, reaching # 37 on April 19. Should have been #1.
My late husband bought this for me when it first came out - a beautiful song with beautiful memories xx
Uma banda que compõem uma belíssima música como essa merece toda consideração...
Que música linda nos remete a ao passado quanta pureza havia nas pessoas era tudo lindo até as canções que saudades 😢
😢 this song makes me cry because it is so beautiful but I think of my two sons that have passed away, perfectly healthy two young men that died in their thirties.😢🙏🌹
So sorry for you.Sometimes life is so unfair! Beautiful song Hope it brings you peace
I don't remember this from when it was first released but when I heard it many years later I cried like a baby. Such beauty and heartbreak in those lyrics and music.
Música do final dos anos 60...tão linda, realidade diferente de hoje...
Bee Gees puro talento
What a beautiful and profound love you Gibb brothers have for one another. This love will live on long after our earthly bodies leave this world. Love never dies and I can feel Maurice ‘s and Robin’s spirit and love every time I play a Bee Gee song.
Tempos nostálgicos que não voltam mais. Tudo era simples e verdadeiro.
I love the song so memorable fr me
Concordo 100% contigo Tui.
A propósito veja aqui ,existe uma cidade na GALICIA, ESPAÑA que tem teu nome e é onde minha mãe nasceu.
ABRAÇOS E feliz Natal, AMIGO.
Essa voz me fascina como é linda essa canção.....Deus obrigado por me dar uma audição perfeita pra ouvir tão belas melodias
Verdade 👍🏽🤠🇧🇷🇧🇷💯💕
Tbm agradeço a Deus por poder ouvir tão belas músicas.
Não é sua audição que é perfeita... É que Bee Gees é perfeito.
@@largataolargato9652 verdade lagartâo, vc disse tudo, amooo demais essas vozes,
Brothers how sweet for these memories
So lovely and too see Barry and Robin playing and hugging as children, filmed by Maurice .soooooo sweet
A boa música transforma melodia em emoção! !😢Tem dias que eu não preciso de palavras, só música !! ❤ 🙏🏻
Always listen to this on 1st of May it's Bee Gees Day for me .Love this song Love the movie it's from, very special to me . 2:50
May 1st, 2021 I hope at that time the nightmare will be over and the world will be back to normal. Lets just hope.

Jamais serão esquecidos...
❤️🌹🌹🌹
I always come back to this song whenever First of May comes around. This is one of my favourite songs !
One of my all time favorites!!
Wonderful warm memories....
This song really does bring back memories. Very sentimental. Makes us appreciate the small things of life we experienced in childhood.
I know most people think of this song the first of may, but we always listened to this at Christmas time since I was a little kid. I still do every Christmas season.
Still makes me cry. Barry❤️
Eterna canção..saudades dos tempos em que a vida era muito diferente de hoje..a vida era viver..
Vdd Elvis. Éramos felizes e não sabíamos. Tempos bons aqueles.
This song is so gut wrenchingly beautiful and sad. Can't get through listening to the first line without blubbering. The power of the written word by three of the best songwriters that ever lived.
Hello Mary French. How are you doing?
australia in the early 1960s... paradise. masterpiece of a song. the bee gees are genuine singing/songwriting royalty.
I have always loved this song and this is the first time I have ever seen this video. Ever seen a grown man cry? I'm crying right now. Long live Bee Gees music.
it always makes me cry.
John S me too, and I’m 67.
@@dannilaser16- - I lost Wayne when he was 19 and I was 14. I lost Dennis when he was 17 and I was 14. I lost Mark when he was 20 and I was 26.

@@dannilaser16-- Thank you
Década de 1960, os melhores dias do planeta terra, viví e vivenciei. Abraços e da música não preciso dizer nada é só escutar.
Parabéns por ter vivido a dec de 60,sinto uma ponta de inveja pois daria td pra saber como era nessa época,acho q a vida era simples porém muito mais feliz.
Aprendi gostar das músicas deles com minhas tias hj tenho 57 anos ainda amo

i love the Bee Gees. I always cry because they are part of my life as i grew up. Thank You for the lovely memories.
Child of the 60s. My whole family grew up with the bee gees. Learnt the words to every song. Watched the one night only concert in 1997. Nothing will ever beat the life and music of the 60s and 70s. Loved first of May so much, that my daughter was born on this day. Raj from pmburg, kzn, south Africa. Born in 1961. Old music 🎵🎶 keeps me alive and kicking 😅😊❤
Me too, 60s child. From Port Elizabeth. Love this song. Meant to play it yesterday but was so busy.
All the people who were at the one night concert (1997) They are privileged, one of the emotional moments was when they sang the song "don't throw it all away" greets from México 🇲🇽
Hi George, greetings from raj Pillay, south Africa. Music unites the people of the world. When the music hits u, u feel no pain...bob Marley. When u listen to music u feel happy., When u sad , u listen to the words of the song. Enjoy the music. Peace, loves and blessings to you and your family and friends.
Same greetings to you too, lotus flower in Port Elizabeth, S, Africa
Sad , beautiful, nostalgic, The Bee Gees are over the top
Pycargue Yes they are over the top , multi- talented brothers , down to earth human being , the best of the best , they are a true legends. Their music will always live in our hearts....
Em algum lugar no tempo eles ainda estão!
Eternos, eternos!
This just rips my heart out! Watching these two brothers playing together when they were so young, knowing how the years would sometimes separate them, is so very sad. If you really want to cry, though, watch this, then follow it up with Robin's song, "Days of Wine and Roses." It you're not in tears by the time you're done watching, then you don't have a heart. And don't even get me talking about "Alone" where Barry sings the line "and I don't wanna be alone," and it shows him at the end, alone in front of the microphone in the studio. Oh my precious Barry, hold on and be strong! And my dear Mo, Robin, and Andy, I miss you so!
Thanks much for the recommendation of the song.
É muito triste para mim ouvir Bee Gees e saber que 2 foram levados por uma doença tão maldita. Que pessoas lindas! Que vozes maravilhosas! Que saudade...
E ainda tinha o Andy que se foi precocemente.😥😥
22/11/20!😢😢
Rose Freitas - At least I guess we can be thankful that Maurice went quickly and didn't suffer as long but his death was not necessary. Robin suffered a long time and wasted away to a skeleton. His beautiful voice became barely a whisper and then was taken completely by a tracheotomy tube. Both very sad. :(
I was in my early 20's when I heard this song over the radio... Now I am turning 41 years old next month.
Happy 1st of May 2023 everyone. Let's enjoy life and try to be happy while we are still here.
Happy 1st of May 2024. I am here, hope you are too.💜
Its about when they were little, so christmas trees were much taller than them and now look small and then ..
It was written by Barry but not about his first love, as many people believe. But about their first dog, which arrived on the first of May. A beautiful song, wonderfully written, to be interpreted as if it were about young love, or even brothers or sisters. But mainly about childhood memories and their beloved pet.
This identifies many of us, because I think it is there, in our childhood / adolescence, where our best memories are ...
Your comment is very true, I had read it once.
musicluver1958 - As if this song wasn't nostalgic and sad enough, you tell me it's about a dog. Now I love it even more.
Just saying-- Barry didn't say it was about his dog. He said his dog Barnaby came to him on the first of May, so Barry (also backed by Maurice later) used the "First of May" as a good TITLE for a song he was then writing. The lyrics themselves weren't referring to Barnaby.
@@AlamoDame7 I think it was about their whole childhood/adolescent experience.
Every 1st of May I come here to listen to this song & remember you😢
Same
Same
1st time me hearing this song.
何度見ても，この映像はいい，RobinがBarryに甘えて兄を頼りにしている曲は大好き❤今７１歳ですが，病院ボランティアピアノ🎹メンバーで最年長でコロナ禍たまたましか弾けない状況ですが次回弾ける時は，First of May を弾きたいので，諦めず，Barryの歌声聴きながら練習います🎶🎹🙎🏻
Que legal! Vai praticando, você consegue, meu amigo!
May 1 2024. Still listening after all these years!
I feel VERY sentimental and emotional and sad all in one while listening to this beautiful song! I lost my mum 14 years ago today! So sad a nd painful and beautiful! I think this was filmed in my city! Sorry to be so morbid! This is one of my FAVOURITE Bee Gees songs!
Essa música é a que mais me emociona, me traz lembranças maravilhosas de um tempo que sei nunca mais vai voltar mas que carrego comigo até o meu fim.
Era anos 80 e eu, muito jovem, lembro do meu pai ouvindo BeeGees nas viagens que fazíamos.
Jesus, como foi bom ter essa música como trilha sonora da minha infância.
Canção bellissima e ao mesmo tão 😔😔😔eu amo todas melodies do Bee Gees maravilhosa adoro,grandes lembranças de tempos bons e saudades❤💖❤💖❤🌻🌺🌻🌹⚘🌹😻😍😍

Guess who’ll cry? It is me.

I remember Robin, Maurice and Andy when I hear this song and feel the pain Barry is feeling on being the only Gibb brothers still alive.
