I am a Barry fan but there is no denying Robin’s amazing haunting voice. What a voice. And Maurice doing the high parts in the harmonies really pushed the songs up to the highest level possible. Together these 3 were lightning in a bottle. I doubt we will ever see the likes of the Bee Gees again. Not in our life time anyway….. Yep, magical lightning in a bottle when they created and performed together
I am 67 and the music of the Bee Gees has been around my entire life. There will never be another group like them...the harmonies were awesome and individual songs like this show both Barry's falsetto and Robin's wonderful voice. They will live on forever.
Robin had the most incredible voice of the three Bee Gees, that is without a doubt.....voice in the air, falsetto, harmonies, amazing!!! Greetings from Chile
They are in their 40's here...and the magic is still there. Robin's voice could still give you chills and Barry still holding notes much longer than people 20 years younger. Amazing!!
mmm well don't quote me but all of them were into drugs, but all 3 of them had their differences, Maurice was an alcoholic, which he follows his dad for, Robin was into pills and barry love to smoke marijuana.
@@laurajanyoung3187 Robin did smoke in the early days but then so did most people at that time. He had a very powerful voice and a very high range as can be heard on It Doesn't Matter Anymore and ESP.
Finally I've found a live version of this. At first I thought they never did this live because Robin's vocals were to hard to perform live but once again Robin has proved me wrong with his brilliants
Maurice is always underrated. His voice backups make the others’ all the more richer. He blends it so well with them that you don’t realize it’s two voices at first. It sounds more like one very rich voice. In an interview with Barry, he said he wrote this song with Robin’s voice in the lead in mind.
Agree with you... Maurice looks great here...and he helps with the complete sound of the group with his voice and he has a unique personality ...he was not valued enough ...
Maurice 's warm voice in introducing the song is amazing. Barry' s voice powerful. Robin's voice, with roots in Robin's same soul, its mournful notes:masterpiece of nature
Que espetáculo!!! E que pena que Maurice e Robin já se foram. As vozes em harmonia é demais. Toca o coração. E esse sorriso de Robin no final é "TUDO". Que lindos!!!
This is one of the best songs ever by the brothers, just wonderful! RIP Maurice, Robin, and Andy, God Bless them and Barry for what you have endured losing all your brothers, Much Love to You!
The two that thumbs downed this beautiful song you know nothing about what really beautiful music is, because it doesn't get any better than the great BEE GEES and their ability to write and sing some of the most beautiful songs in history....
vickie OAKES an ignorant moron who doesn't understand that different people have different tastes without which there would be no point in art or culture and that those who try new stuff and vote accordingly are of far more val;ue than the boring sheep who only listen to what they already know and like. You need to get out more girl!
Oh if I could only let Robin know how very rich his voice was,so lovely and never duplicated, to the awesome it was. Brings many tears to my eyes. Between Barry's long gorgeous notes and of course not to to forget Maurice's lovely voice that blends sl nicely with the other two it's just pure heaven to hear. They are so blessed as a family. I wish to be such a lucky group. My family sang at church but certainly not like this! Fabulous bee gees, their parents must burst with pride when they watch them or hear them. Woowwww.
Wonderful song, very emotional and well performed by one ot the best music groups ever! More than 5 decades of music that was loved by many. That says it all!
Their harmonies are always perfect but they're Double perfect here!..and the guys look so dog-gone good here too..love how at the very end, when Robin turns slightly away.. then spins back around with a Gorgeous smile of appreciation of all the whistles and applause!.. What a lucky, lucky audience!
I just found this song yesterday & I can't stop playing it - it has becme my favorite BG tune. I love Robin's voice the most, it fills out, make full, their music, deep, intense voice.
rosekween1 , It is my favorite too. It just blows me away, when Robin sings his part. Another one is Wedding Day. He comes in on that song, and it is excellent. ❤️ to Robin.
@@markfilby9 There is a show they did when their last album came out. Search for Bee Gees - A&E Live by Request. A lot of songs from their last album, but also the older classic songs - not too much disco. I think you'll enjoy it. The entire show is on you tube either in sections or as a whole. One of my favorites.
I was born in 83, and remember Bee Gees playing in the radio as a child. Just recently watched their HBO Max documentary and happy I just discovered how Amazing this trio of brothers was.
They are just a beautiful sounding group!!!! Their voice's are so different, from one another.. They have got me through so many hard time's, making me feel better... ♥️♥️♥️... 🌹🌹🌹...
I love this song. I love Robins voice and I so miss the Bee Gee's. I was born in the 60's so these guys were my teenage years musical Gods. And now I'm in my 50's nothings changed . I still listen to them all the time.
omg robin did it again !!!T hat beautiful voice and smile maurice with his keyboard / guitar talent and voice too. He even said himself he wish he had the voice robin did GOD GAVE THE 3 OF THEM THEIR INDIVIDUAL TALENTS
There aren't a lot of clips of them doing this live live (music shows are usually lip-synched by default). Hearing them do it live is a treat, and they nailed it. It's one of my favorite songs of theirs, and might I add, highly underrated. Gorgeous.
The Bee Gees each have there owe style , voices that harmonize together so beautifully and I love their clothes and the way they perform on stage and outstanding in everything they do so wonderful ,They are so amazing to watch on the videos , they're just the best love them always ♥️
I stumble in the night Never really knew what it would've been like You're no longer there to break my fall The heartache over you I'd give it everything but I couldn't live through I never saw the signs You're the last to know when love is blind All the tears and the turbulent years When I would not wait for no one Didn't stop, take a look at myself See me losing you When a lonely heart breaks It's the one that forsakes It's the dream that we stole And I'm missing you more Than the fire that will roar Hole in my soul For you it's goodbye For me it's to cry For whom the bell tolls For me I seen you in a magazine A picture at a party where you shouldn't have been Hanging on the arm of someone else I'm still in love with you Won't you come back to your little boy blue I've come to feel inside This precious love was never mine Now I know but a little too late That I could not live without you In the dark or the broad daylight Promise I'll be there When a lonely heart breaks It's the one that forsakes It's the dream that we stole And I'm missing you more Than the fire that will roar There's a hole in my soul For you it's goodbye For me it's to cry For whom the bell tolls Now I know there'll be times like this When I couldn't reach out to no one Am I never gonna find someone Who knows me like you do? Are you leaving me a helpless child When it took so long to save me? Fight the devil and the deep blue sea I'll follow you anywhere I promise I'll be there When a lonely heart breaks It's the one that forsakes It's the dream that we stole And I'm missing you more Than the fire that will roar There's a hole in my soul For you it's goodbye For me it's to cry For whom the bell tolls
I absolutely love the bee jees. No one else has those beautiful voices like they did. I loved all the bee jees but I loved Maurices smile. Such a nice smile. They will all be misses and Andy too. I feel so bad for Berry. Terrible losing all your brothers. God bless you
Love love that I found this . I always wanted to see them perform this song. Thanks so much 👏🏻Robin was superb on this my favorite song of his. Maurice with that beautiful speaking voice and a amazing singer too. Barry with that emotional vocal range of his. Such talented incredible artist ! Love them more now than ever♥️
Essa voz de Robin é maravilhosa, intensa e nos abraça pra dentro desta música. O guitarrista, que também esteve no clipe desta música com os irmãos Gibbs, participa intensamente e vibra quando Robin solta o vozeirão. Que espetáculo!
Essa musica marcou muito a minha vida, especialmente quando em 1994 eu fui pela primeira vez tentar a vida em São Paulo, na casa de meus primos eu aguardava uma oportunidade de emprego, enquanto não surgia, ficava sozinho olhando de longe a Via Dutra com seu trafego intenso e os olhos se enchiam de lágrimas com saudade da Terrinha e da familia.
no one person is better than the other. they all need each other which what makes this and all their other magical tracks beautiful. RIP Robin and Maurice x
Robin really had the BEST voice of all 3 - Barry had that crazy falsetto and that really set the tone for their most popular years but again ROBIN had the voice and let us not forget MAURICE also incredible vocalist and muscian. Very sad we will never hear 'new music' from the all together and the song writing is unmatched and probably will be for long time to come, if ever.

Você disse tudo que eu tbm penso desse trio.
👍😊
They are my favorite band of all time. One of the few I never get tired of listening to!
Yes but just think, how glorious heaven will sound ..❤
😢😢fecho como relator
I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
yes there is, I am one of them
I feel you brother
I’m right there with you. What a song
I do my human spirit x
ME!!!!
Such talent we will never hear again 😢😢
Robin’s voice is so awesome!! This harmony, the Brothers Gibb, Bee Gees will NEVER be duplicated, EVER.
I am 67 and the music of the Bee Gees has been around my entire life. There will never be another group like them...the harmonies were awesome and individual songs like this show both Barry's falsetto and Robin's wonderful voice. They will live on forever.
Oh Robin, your beautiful voice.
I love Robin's voice in this, It really shines!
Robin had the most incredible voice of the three Bee Gees, that is without a doubt.....voice in the air, falsetto, harmonies, amazing!!! Greetings from Chile
Whether a fan or not..this is a brilliant live performance....Robin Gibb at his very, very best....wonderful....
Are Robin has a stunning voice, I love it.
They are in their 40's here...and the magic is still there. Robin's voice could still give you chills and Barry still holding notes much longer than people 20 years younger. Amazing!!
Robin was only 43 when this song came out .
Bee Gees my favourite group
That first chorus that Robin sings alone is just... mind blown. What a voice.
I know, totally unique and now gone! :(
lushman15 Yeah, I miss 'em. Great avatar you have, lol.
Haha thanks man, made me chuckle when i first saw it :)
It brought tears to my eyes. Such a pure voice.
Is this "live"
This is what happens when utter perfection is attained
The Bee Gees were the best; miss them.
Robin Gibb é a voz mais incrível que ja existiu
Barry tbm e sensacional
Each brother has such incredible talent and this is what makes them a truly unique group like no other. Robin's voice is by far the most powerful!.
I think Robin is the only one of the three who didn't take up smoking. I might be wrong. That bad habit can wreck a singing voice over time.
mmm well don't quote me but all of them were into drugs, but all 3 of them had their differences, Maurice was an alcoholic, which he follows his dad for, Robin was into pills and barry love to smoke marijuana.
@@laurajanyoung3187 Robin did smoke in the early days but then so did most people at that time. He had a very powerful voice and a very high range as can be heard on It Doesn't Matter Anymore and ESP.
Robin's Falsetto is the softy high tones where Robin as and example always sang in Vibrato.
@@laurajanyoung3187 he did
What can I say? Robin was the best. I love the way he looks here too. Maurice had a beautiful speaking voice.
Robin was fantastic here. That man had so much soul in his voice.
Robin was always the best.. God bless him..
@@MrDarenhayes What was that device he held to his ear?
He was so elegant!
@@markgowans There were no ear monitors back then. Robin had that thing so he could hear his own voice on stage.
@@iso-pebe thank you very much for the answer
So much emotion in Robins voice. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Finally I've found a live version of this. At first I thought they never did this live because Robin's vocals were to hard to perform live but once again Robin has proved me wrong with his brilliants
There is much better live version Live at Center Stage. Just unbelievable!
It's actually the falsetto that's a bit forced here.
Brilliance.
@@TheWhitePine5 He sings with his heart, it's pure emotion. When he sings nothing is forced it comes natural it comes from his heart 🎶🐦
@@wendydubois3872 didnt they write this after andy died? the bell tolls for a funeral
Stunning, Thank you ...
Maurice is always underrated. His voice backups make the others’ all the more richer. He blends it so well with them that you don’t realize it’s two voices at first. It sounds more like one very rich voice.

Couldn't agree with you more🤗
Agree with you... Maurice looks great here...and he helps with the complete sound of the group with his voice and he has a unique personality ...he was not valued enough ...
All the lot of them just class.
I agree 100%
Totally agree. Mo's voice gave the perfect blend to the others. He gave the unmustakeable bee gees unique magic !
Robin had my heart. His voice was so different from his brothers. Yet, it was perfect with their voices. I miss their voices as one.😊😢 ❤
The Bee Gees!!! The greatest singers and song writers of all time!!!
Maurice 's warm voice in introducing the song is amazing. Barry' s voice powerful. Robin's voice, with roots in Robin's same soul, its mournful notes:masterpiece of nature
Nobody could sing like the Bee Gees!!!! I do miss Robin and Mo.
Love when Mo shadows Robin's voice, he was the glue between Barry and Robin.
There is most definitely a hole in our soul without Mo, Robin and Andy. Beautiful performance.
Never will we see talent like this again. Awesome
What a lovely voice introduction from Maurice. .very talented also. Love Robin's voice. Unique. Love
Yes!!
I agree. This is such a perfect song. It shows off all their vocal abilities and the lyrics are beautiful.
RG has the most powerful voice here...he's just brilliant!!!!
Que espetáculo!!! E que pena que Maurice e Robin já se foram. As vozes em harmonia é demais. Toca o coração. E esse sorriso de Robin no final é "TUDO". Que lindos!!!
Barry TMB morreu ,bem recente
je étais pas sur
c est bien vraie ce que j ai vu il était malade ma génération trop jeune😢 mais ils ont du avoir une belle vie
Perfeito a voz dele❤❤todos eles
Barry não faleceu. @@marionakata2911
Robins vocals are unreal. Amazing tune.
This is one of the best songs ever by the brothers, just wonderful! RIP Maurice, Robin, and Andy, God Bless them and Barry for what you have endured losing all your brothers, Much Love to You!
Robins voice was so powerful .They were a fantastic group .There music was beautiful .
No they ARE the best group ever no others harmonize like them
This is WHAT you CALL MUSIC! For ever LEGENDS!
The two that thumbs downed this beautiful song you know nothing about what really beautiful music is, because it doesn't get any better than the great BEE GEES and their ability to write and sing some of the most beautiful songs in history....
When he said they are doing for whom the bell tolls I thought of Metallica you know seens they have the same name on there track.
96 now

Robin had a great voice we will always remember him Robin we love you and miss you
God bless you Robin.You left us far too soon.
One of the Bee Gee's most beautiful songs....
Sandy Willis I fully agree!
Robin's voice is second to none !!
TO LOVE ROBIN, HIS VOICE DOES HAUNT YOU.*** BUT THERE ARE NO BEE GEES WITHOUT BARRY. *** LOVE YOU ALL. ***
One of my very favorite Bee Gees songs, love, love Robin's voice!

Goosebumps 💛💙💛
Rest in Peace Robin..you are so loved!❣
That sounds fantastic when Barry sings verses and Robin sings choruses. Later they used that trick again on "Wedding Day".
I stumble in the night
Never really knew what it would've been like
You're no longer there to break my fall
The heartache over you
I'd give it everything but I couldn't live through
I never saw the signs
You're the last to know when love is blind
All the tears and the turbulent years
When I would not wait for no one
Didn't stop, take a look at myself
See me losing you
When a lonely heart breaks
It's the one that forsakes
It's the dream that we stole
And I'm missing you more
Than the fire that will roar
Hole in my soul
For you it's goodbye
For me it's to cry
For whom the bell tolls
For me
I seen you in a magazine
A picture at a party where you shouldn't have been
Hanging on the arm of someone else
I'm still in love with you
Won't you come back to your little boy blue
I've come to feel inside
This precious love was never mine
Now I know but a little too late
That I could not live without you
In the dark or the broad daylight
Promise I'll be there
When a lonely heart breaks
It's the one that forsakes
It's the dream that we stole
And I'm missing you more
Than the fire that will roar
There's a hole in my soul
For you it's goodbye
For me it's to cry
For whom the bell tolls
Now I know there'll be times like this
When I couldn't reach out to no one
Am I never gonna find someone
Who knows me like you do?
Are you leaving me a helpless child
When it took so long to save me?
Fight the devil and the deep blue sea
I'll follow you anywhere
I promise I'll be there
When a lonely heart breaks
It's the one that forsakes
It's the dream that we stole
And I'm missing you more
Than the fire that will roar
There's a hole in my soul
For you it's goodbye
For me it's to cry
For whom the bell tolls
By far my favourite Bee Gee's song.,❤️❤️ My heart breaks every time 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Beautiful harmony - like an anthem.Their music is timeless!!
A qualidade dos caras ao vivo é impressionante !!!!! Pra mim uma das melhores apresentações ao vivo que ví pelo youtube.
Tá muito rápido
My idea of a lovely, cosy evening,,, snuggle on sofa with the BeeGee playing on my headphones, so very relaxing.
Amen to that I am now lifting a glass of wine to them.
I absolutely love the bee jees. No one else has those beautiful voices like they did. I loved all the bee jees but I loved Maurices smile. Such a nice smile. They will all be misses and Andy too. I feel so bad for Berry. Terrible losing all your brothers. God bless you
Thanks, BEE GEES my favorite friends !
Love to watch and listen to them - Robin's voice was just angelic.

Chega até emocionar essa música é linda
