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
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.
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.
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 ..👍👍👍👍👍👍
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 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. 💯
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. 🙏💘🙏💘🙏💘
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
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.
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!!!
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.
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 .
This song is a masterpiece. Heartbroken and melancholy, we can all recognize a little bit now that so many of us are elderly. But I also think of those immense musicians who were the Gibb brothers who composed it very young. The video that accompanies it testifies to the deep bond between Barry and Robin that has remained like this all their lives even if their character has sometimes divided them. But all the brothers fight all the more as they also shared their working life and stayed together for many decades. The ending leaves you speechless.
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!!!

Oh my God one of their best I love everything that the Bee gees have ever done. I watch their videos on UA-cam I watch documentaries about their life. Their life is inspirational. And this chokes me up I get tears in my eyes when I hear it it is so beautiful.
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! 🙏🙏🙏
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.
Forever BeeGees~ Forever my first love... I and Kay met first time on May of 1974. I left home town to make money to marry her after college to another country but when I came back home, she married to someone. We cried so much.. Her mother and family forced her to marry a man works in bank. I moved to America on 1985 but every on the first of May, I can't stop recalling her.

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.
This song was part of the movie,Melody Fair with actors,Mark Lester and Jack Wild.Great memories of the late 60's and early 70's.Barry Gibb and his brothers will be legends for ever.This song must be played every first of May.Greatness can only be born,and created.
All by myself today for my 61th anniversary, and probably forever now. Lockdown, no more family, no more love, no more friends. Shouldn't have watched this video, I shed my tears in my cat's fur.

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
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!
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.
"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💕
Crying so much right now. I taught my little sister to play this song on the piano when she was around 5. I love her so much, but she listened to another sister and hasn't spoken to me in 40 years. I'll never stop missing her or loving her. Thank you, Bee Gees...beautiful song, beautiful memories.
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.
Happens to me every time I watch it! I just qued up all their versions of First of May into a playlist to play tomorrow - First of May. I used to so this every year after I got their first LP!
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 used to play this on the guitar...I still get texts about them hearing me play this...and still think of me, when they think of the "First of May"......
I was more a quiet Bee Gee fan, but the more I listen to these beautiful songs and the tragic losses that have befallen this close, talented family, it makes it all the more poignant listening as well as watching these family movies. ..and what a legacy they left for us all!! Fabulous Rainbows of music!! Thank you so very, very much!! The best!
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 👏
É impressionante como o Robin, amava barry, o brilho do olhar procurava a aprovação do irmão até no palco enquanto cantavam,ele era totalmente dependente do barry gibb emocionalmente,era amor puro e verdadeiro verdadeiro só amor.
Esse tipo de família amorosa só se encontram no mundo no tempo certo que Deus quer presentear o mundo que se restabelecendo de grandes sofrimentos causados pela guerra.
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.
December 12 2021 my father died I can't stop crying while listening this song cause he always sing the FIRST OF MAY every occasion in our house . This song can help me imagine that my father this still here
Hi, 1st of,, am so sorry for your dad has passed away,! ♥️ , I have lost family in the last 2 years,! 😔, but I always say they have not gone , ! They're in your Hart ,! And don't forget that , cause they are looking over you !! God Bless from northern Ireland UK, ♥️🤝🇬🇧 , I was born 23rd May 1968,
First of May is one of my favorite songs..it reminds me of my youthful years having a first love..but sad my first love were not meant for each other..only First of May lasts..
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!
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.
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.
The first time I heard this song was when Sarah Brightman sang it on a live show video, when I read the credits saying the song was of Bee Gee's I had to check it out and this is how I got here! Btw, the Sarah Brightman's version is also amazing, if you wanna get some goosebumps just listen to her.👍
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.
Beautiful song, reminds me of how fast and short your life is Brings back memories of my brothers and sisters and my parents who have passed away. Let's enjoy whatever time we have left. And forgive each other. Thankyou Bee Gees for all your wonderful songs
It’s full of love and compassion..It also reminds me of Barry’s love for his brothers..after all of the challenges they have gone through.. Bee Gees survive..I miss you all.. Bee Gees forever...

@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! 🙏🙏🙏
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.
We love bee gees...
Concordo plenamente!! 🥰
👏👏👏👏🥰🥰
@@PaulaSantos-wo7kw 👏👏👏🌹🌹
De fato. Eles são " the best"!!
Such beautiful and precious memories 🙏💙
First of May 2022, who's still here listening to this classic?
The lyrics are so poignant. Sad yet beautiful. Memories, they keep us going but destroy us. Bee gees thank you.
Forever BeeGees~
Forever my first love...
I and Kay met first time on May of 1974.
I left home town to make money to marry her after college to another country but when I came back home, she married to someone.
We cried so much..
Her mother and family forced her to marry a man works in bank.
I moved to America on 1985 but every on the first of May, I can't stop recalling her.
The Bee Gees are timeless: Genius in music spanning decades. Listening in 2020.
Me too Bob. Can't stop listening to them at the moment. They really were musical geniuses.
Bod so true best timeless

The first time I heard this song, it was performed by an Irish group. Absolutely love!!!❤
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.💜
May 1st, 2021 I hope at that time the nightmare will be over and the world will be back to normal. Lets just hope.

Fazer parte dessa geração, Valdir é um privilégio para poucos. Me orgulho em fazer parte dela.
Happy may 1st 2023 everyone
I had this CD
@@PauloEduardoBSilva verdade mesmo Paulo, nós somos privilegiados
This song was part of the movie,Melody Fair with actors,Mark Lester and Jack Wild.Great memories of the late 60's and early 70's.Barry Gibb and his brothers will be legends for ever.This song must be played every first of May.Greatness can only be born,and created.
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.
All by myself today for my 61th anniversary, and probably forever now. Lockdown, no more family, no more love, no more friends.
Shouldn't have watched this video, I shed my tears in my cat's fur.
🤗🤗
Sending hugs from the Philippines! And it's been five months since you posted your comment, but belated happy 61st birthday! =)
Big hug ♥️
A hug from Germany bro.
How does it come that several people are reacting now? the Google algorithm? in any case a thousand thanks from France for your kindness.
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
@@shirleydaratany5671 Shirley.Sorry for the loss of your brother.You're a beautyful person too. Cherish the times you had together.He loves you to forever.

@@rexluminus9867 thank you so much. That means a lot to me.
You're welcome Shirley.God bless.
Incredibly moving song. It is so beautiful, I stop when I hear it and tear up 😢
Canção e imagens que nunca irá se apagar. Melhor banda de todos o tempos
João Batista que comentário lindooooos
Meu primeiro compacto que ganhei...Bee Gees
😭 faz relembra muitas coisa boas q vivemos
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
Bee Gees, Abba, Carpenters entre outros, marcaram uma geração que provavelmente não existirá igual 👍👍
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!
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.
Never forgotten my first love since high school days,Now im66yrs.old.
My mother passed away 1st may 1995 aged 61 I have now reached 62 the lyrics still mean a lot
"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".

Me and my twin Nadir , 70 y.o.
next May. 2022!
Crying so much right now. I taught my little sister to play this song on the piano when she was around 5. I love her so much, but she listened to another sister and hasn't spoken to me in 40 years. I'll never stop missing her or loving her. Thank you, Bee Gees...beautiful song, beautiful memories.
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.
Bee Gees...uma das melhores banda do mundo.
Jamais serão esquecidos...

Happens to me every time I watch it! I just qued up all their versions of First of May into a playlist to play tomorrow - First of May. I used to so this every year after I got their first LP!
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.
I used to play this on the guitar...I still get texts about them hearing me play this...and still think of me, when they think of the "First of May"......

The early Bee Gees songs were the best.I shall never forget them.That was life
I was more a quiet Bee Gee fan, but the more I listen to these beautiful songs and the tragic losses that have befallen this close, talented family, it makes it all the more poignant listening as well as watching these family movies. ..and what a legacy they left for us all!! Fabulous Rainbows of music!! Thank you so very, very much!! The best!
australia in the early 1960s... paradise. masterpiece of a song. the bee gees are genuine singing/songwriting royalty.
Que música linda nos remete a ao passado quanta pureza havia nas pessoas era tudo lindo até as canções que saudades 😢
The love between the two brothers really shows in this video
Hello Cris Kethiri. How are you doing?
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!!!
Wonderful, beautiful music!! Too bad it wasn't forever...Bee Gess best group ever.
This was my father’s favorite song. I remember him singing it to me when I was little. He passed away February this year. I miss you my Tatay dungo.❤😢
🙏💙❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy 1st of May, everyone! Will always be thankful to the Bee Gees for this beautiful song 🤎
Happy 1st of May to you too Myrtle, wherever you may be.....UA-cam, we're living in a virtual world.
Beautiful song, I'll always love the Bee gees..
É impressionante como o Robin, amava barry, o brilho do olhar procurava a aprovação do irmão até no palco enquanto cantavam,ele era totalmente dependente do barry gibb emocionalmente,era amor puro e verdadeiro verdadeiro só amor.
Esse tipo de família amorosa só se encontram no mundo no tempo certo que Deus quer presentear o mundo que se restabelecendo de grandes sofrimentos causados pela guerra.
Today is first of May, 2021.
I am gonna love, play and sing this song a thousand times...
Wow...what a beautiful song!
My favourite track by the Bee Gees, R. I. P Robin and Maurice 🕯️🕯️
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?
You can't stop your tears from falling as you watch and listen to those heartfelt words.
December 12 2021 my father died I can't stop crying while listening this song cause he always sing the FIRST OF MAY every occasion in our house .
This song can help me imagine that my father this still here
Hi, 1st of,, am so sorry for your dad has passed away,! ♥️ , I have lost family in the last 2 years,! 😔, but I always say they have not gone , ! They're in your Hart ,! And don't forget that , cause they are looking over you !! God Bless from northern Ireland UK, ♥️🤝🇬🇧 , I was born 23rd May 1968,
First of May is one of my favorite songs..it reminds me of my youthful years having a first love..but sad my first love were not meant for each other..only First of May lasts..
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.
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.

Lost a friend this time of year, and this song helps.
Great music 🎶
Música do final dos anos 60...tão linda, realidade diferente de hoje...
Bee Gees puro talento
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!
The first time I heard this song was when Sarah Brightman sang it on a live show video, when I read the credits saying the song was of Bee Gee's I had to check it out and this is how I got here! Btw, the Sarah Brightman's version is also amazing, if you wanna get some goosebumps just listen to her.👍
The bee gees were at their absolute best before they left Australia writing soft ballads
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.
Beautiful song, reminds me of how fast and short your life is
Brings back memories of my brothers and sisters and my parents who have passed away. Let's enjoy whatever time we have left. And forgive each other. Thankyou Bee Gees for all your wonderful songs
Struggente canzone dei Bee gees
Una delle più belle di tutta la musica pop.....Geni immortali
It’s full of love and compassion..It also reminds me of Barry’s love for his brothers..after all of the challenges they have gone through.. Bee Gees survive..I miss you all.. Bee Gees forever...
May Robin and Maurice's soul rest in peace 🙌💔😔
Em que ano foi feito esse 📹
Stunning song. It makes me very sad though. But I love it!
