    This is one of the best songs ever written, sung by the best group from back then, still now and probably forever... Being filmed in New York, with the Twin Towers in the background, made it even more special and poignant for me...

    Love the reaction to this song, especially the daughter's reaction when Robin started singing. Her eyes popped out once Robin sang the chorus. The two of you are now, officially, members of the worldwide Robin devotees. We love him and his voice. His voice is incomparable and just so magnificent. You must hear more of Robin's songs, particularly Massachusetts, Mr. Natural, I Gotta Get a Message to You, I Started a Joke, etc. He will keep wowing you with his voice and the emotions he sings with. I want to see your reactions to these songs. LOL!

  • @susieq9801
    @susieq9801 ปีที่แล้ว +60

    When Barry and Robin sing separate verses and then together, the contrast makes the lyrics all the more stunning. This song also shows Robin's power. Usually he sings more softly, almost like a cry. Although not as pronounced in this song, NOBODY had Robin's vibrato. He was variously called the "Songbird" or "The Pavarotti of Pop". Vibrato is something you either have or do not. Some claim it can be learned with much effort but not from what I have read or heard. His was untrained, effortless and totally natural. It is an absolutely accurate variation in pitch a dozen times in a millisecond. I've heard it described like AC (alternating current) and it involves the central nervous system's effect on the vocal chords. Right, don't forget Mo's voice is in there too! Notice the twin towers?

    Barry starts this off in an extraordinary r&b falsetto. Then he and Robin sing in unison before Robin unleashes the magic. The power in his voice soars to the heavens. To me, this is an anthem. One of things I like best (and there are many) about these brothers is the way they play to each others gifts. The contrast between Robin and Barry is stunning, but listen to their unison, their voices are in perfect pitch. Can you tell which is which? Oh, and Mo is the Webster's definition of cool. Their is a line in his 1970 song, "Railroad" that goes "I ain't juiced none of that glory." Every time I hear him sing it, I think only he is so totally cool enough to pull that off. I love seeing Alan right there playing guitar with them. This song is sad, I understand it was written about Andy's break up with his "TV star" girlfriend. This is only 5 years after his passing, so you can tell grieving is still going on. Lastly, I love this song so much, but this video gives me goosebumps. The twin towers are in the background. There truly is a "hole in my soul."

    I believe the Bee Gees recorded this version of For Whom The Bell Tolls for several reasons, but in particular as a dedication to their younger brother Andy, who died in 1988 at the tender age of 30 years.

    • @beeharbour
      @beeharbour 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I never heard any of the three brothers say they wrote any song for Andy but "Wish You Were Here" but this one and 3 or 4 others are frequently said to be "for Andy" in TH-cam comments. I could be wrong, of course, but this seems particularly unlike a song about a lost brother. I don't think Barry, Robin or Maurice were as obsessed with Victoria Principal's break up with Andy (which this is claimed to reference) as perhaps some fans were. Everyone hates to see a sibling or a friend get their heart broken but generally none of us are still brokenhearted about it ourselves 15 or 16 years later.

  • @beegeesbuster1
    @beegeesbuster1 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    If you want to react to pure Robin lead songs there would be "Country Lanes" from 1975, "IStarted A Joke" from 1968 or maybe "Lamplight" and "Black Diamond" from 1969.
    Then there is "My Life Has Been A Song" from 1972/73, a very repetitive song but Robins vocals are insane.
    And there is "The Singer Sang His Song" and "In The Summer Of His Years" and "And The Sun Will Shine" all from 1968.
    Or maybe "Wedding Day" from 2001.
    There is also his solo works like "Juliet", "Like A Fool", "Boys Do Fall In Love", "Toys", "Please" and more.
    Another shared lead would be "I've Gotta Get A Message To You" fra 1968
    There is to my knowledge only one song where the 3 brothers has a verse each and that would be "Elisa" from 1973.
    Also if you listen to the their "Ellan Vaninn" song, the unofficial anthem for Isle Of Man you will hear Robins distinct voice.
    That also goes for their rendition of the Carol King song "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow", here Robin's part always hits you when he comes in.
    But there is so many more that it is hard to choose.

    Even more perfect when you consider that, as songwriters, they are able to translate their personal tragedy into such a beautiful tribute knowing that so so many listeners can relate... making it somehow comforting to know we are not alone in our grief. After Andy died, their first song was WISH YOU WERE HERE, and also TEARS. Their father died almost 3 years to the day after Andy, they said of a broken heart. They wrote this song that same year. Some of the words sound like it’s written from the point of view of their father, but some certainly their own feelings. It was typical to give the song more commercial appeal by implying a love interest. I’m hesitant to request a reaction to TEARS, but..

    The song was written about their younger brother Andy who died following drug and alcohol addiction struggles after a traumatic break up. He died in the 1970s and it wasn’t until the 1990s that they felt able to write and perform this. He was also a singer in the Uk but I’m not sure whether or not he was known/successful in the USA or just in the UK.

    Beautiful song! But I LOVE the Bee Gees so much! If you loved this you will certainly love another post disco song of theirs from the 90's called "Wedding Day" This song also features a lot of Robin solo. Its a loving song about a couple's wedding day, obviously, but I find it so precious. Even though all the brothers were on their 2nd marriages, those marriages lasted a lot of yrs for each of them. Maurice's second marriage 28 yrs until he passed away. Robin 27 yrs until he passed. And Barry's 2nd marriage 52 years. So I really commend them for that because that is very unusual in the music business! Another song from the 90's you might like is "One". And I don't think you have reacted to "How Deep is Your Love" which is from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. I think that one is my ultimate fave of the Bee Gees...and "Fanny..." haha

    This song shouts out to me......... " You never know what you have until it's gone ". I saw so many male friends in my time that took their partner for granted. If they had only nurtured their relationship it could have grown and stayed strong over time. I made it a point to always be there for whoever I was in a relationship with. Most of the time I got taken for granted which was heartbreaking to say the least. This song brings back a lot of memories from the past. It's melancholy but still beautiful......

    Totally agree, even though I was around for most of their career, I never heard this song until a couple of years ago and completely fell in love with it. As far as I know, it never hit the charts or got released as a single so I think that's why it gets overlooked.

    • @hazeleyes8965
      @hazeleyes8965 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      This was a Top 5 hit in the UK (reaching Number 4) not sure about elsewhere but it was most definitely released as a single.

    • @francisxray9900
      @francisxray9900 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Was a big hit all over Europe and other countries, except the US. Overlooking them was many times obvious in the states, so no surprise to me you didn't know about it.

    • @mariekeung7187
      @mariekeung7187 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      According to Barry, this song did not get the airplay in the US and he voiced his frustration as to why some songs get airplay and some don't. If it had gotten the airplay, surely, this song would have been at least a top 5 song. It is too good.

  • @catbravo994

    Goosebumps every single time that Robin comes in to sing the chorus. I love hearing Barry, then they sing together, then Robin takes over and I am blown away. Mo is really into this song, too. This song just tugs at your heartstrings with the beautiful vocals, music, and the setting there on the New York Harbor with the Twin Towers in thr background. Fantastic reaction to one of my absolute favorite songs by the Bee Gees. Thanks for doing this one, especially this version. ~Sue

  • @deborahdennehy9937

    I understand completely! Robin's fabulous singing is superb. Ofcourse Barry too, I adore Maurice also! When I was a teenager in the 70's I always was playing The Bee Gees. Believe it or not, I did see this from another reactor, but just wanted to know what you thought. It's only about a year ago I actually did see this particular song, it is SUPERB & ofcourse sad, so well written too. The lyrics, wow!! xx 💝💝💝

  • @francisxray9900
    @francisxray9900 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    To me, it's a song like a cathedral. You only can look up open mouthed, wondering what's goin' on. The whole songconstruction is just wonderful and brilliant. And then the singing! Sharing leads between Barry and Robin, both of them superb and phantastic, nothing lesser than genius. And Mr. three-part-harmony, Maurice, bringing the whole thing to perfection at all. Now listen to a song, called 'Give A Hand, Take A Hand', out of the album 'Mr. Natural', their anthemsong. You'll hear stunning chorusses. But check out the original, not the earlier demoversion.

    • @janicetrimmell6897
      @janicetrimmell6897 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes, the cathedral is the New York skyline with such unexpected contrasts between the sweet soft r&b and then the power. I just listened to the Mr. Natural album yesterday. "Give a Hand Take A Hand" is a must for a reaction. (1974 album version - not demo master). Beautiful gospel harmony and the best key change ever.

    I looked for it, and there it was. Every time I see someone listen to this amazing song for the first time, the immediate look of astonishment when Robin's voice kicks in. One of the most powerful songs ever written and sung in my opinion, and Robin's performance is almost inexplicably good.

  • @kudabear4898
    @kudabear4898 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would love to hear and see you react to the Bee Gees "Jumbo" it's an oldie but goodie....Barry sings a riff that will make you want to take a breath for him....Barry just runs with it without taking a breath.....it's amazing!!!!

  • @johnbattles1002
    @johnbattles1002 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Powerfully emotional song with heart-wrenching lyrics! The title is the same as Ernest Hemingway's classic novel published in 1940. Hemingway himself derived the title from a line of an essay by 17th century writer John Donne. It says, "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; therefore, never send to know FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS; it tolls for thee!" So, the title of this song has a fairly illustrious history behind it .

    • @mariekeung7187
      @mariekeung7187 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Robin said it was the book that gave him the inspiration for the title to the song. He happened to be looking through a bookshelf full of different books and there was the book with that title. And the rest is history!

  • @jeremyboynton6173
    @jeremyboynton6173 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    When Barry release his album of duets a couple years ago, he did a Reddit AMA, and I asked him a question about what song he thought showcased Robin's voice the best. His answer was "And the Sun Will Shine". "Heart Like Mine" is my favorite of his.

    This is definitely one of the best song they wrote for all the reasons you said. I like romantic ballads with R&B sounds and so How deep is your love or Too much heaven are tied. Beautiful ladies can you react to the first song, you (daughter) probably will feel in your soul too! You may like Nights of broadway (live version) Thank you for your great reactions :)

  • @stephenhanft1226

    I think the 90s is such an underrated time-frame in the Bee Gees musical careers. While not dominating the music charts the way they did in the 70s, they really recorded some great songs in the 90s that are definitely worth exploring and re-visiting. For Whom The Bell Tolls is one of them. Another favorite 90s Bee Gees song that I'd love to see you do a reaction for is "Alone". That came out in 1997 and was one of their last hits. Also, if you want to watch a spectacular Bee Gees concert, check out their One Night Only concert from Las Vegas on 1997. The full concert is in youtube.

    • @generationgapreacts
      @generationgapreacts  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I will definitely watch the concert. So far I am totally in love with their 90s songs. We have a video for Alone and that was a winner too!

  • @peteryang902
    @peteryang902 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Bee Gees is my all time favorite music artist.
    Thanks Generation Gap both ( Mom and Daughter )

    You have a new subscriber! I'm loving your Bee Gees reactions, as I am a mom probably close to "mom's" age 😊. I love Robin's voice the most too. Early on in the mid-late 60's Robin sang lead more often and he has the highest natural voice. I have heard that the record label pushed for Barry to sing more lead vocals because women would find him more attractive! Shame on them! Please do Massachusetts next! Also, would you consider reacting to Pink's music? She's my all time favorite artist and I think you would enjoy some of her most recent music from her 2019 album Hurts 2B Human.

    • @generationgapreacts
      @generationgapreacts  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hello J, thank you for your kind words. Massachusetts is on our list of beautiful Bee Gees song. Stay tuned for more Bee Gees this week. Also, Pink would be a great choice too. Thank you for the suggestions! 😃

  • @ipaulosan
    @ipaulosan ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm not crying your crying. You should react to "Alone" to hear more of Robin's beautiful voice. Bee Gees stand for the letters B. G., the brothers Gibb.

    Steelheart - never let you go , is a sort of power ballad in the early 90s it's a really powerful and cool song think I was 19 when that came out maybe around 1991!

  • @delenelewis9024
    @delenelewis9024 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Thanks for the great reactions! Such talent!! If you want to hear a great song that features Robin's beautiful and haunting voice, be sure to try "I Can't See Nobody", specifically the 1973 Midnight Special version is the best, but all the versions are great. And/or "Massachusetts" (the all for one tour live, is the best version). These guys are just so great, sometimes it's hard to believe! Probably the most talented singers/songwriters of the 20th century, and into the 21st.
