- Watch a wonderful, live performance of "I Started a Joke" from 2001:
• THE BEE GEES ~ "I STAR...
Written by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb the song is supposedly about someone who has done or said something horribly wrong, which results in feelings of social alienation. Others have described it as quite spiritual and could in fact be dealing with the Christian savior himself. Robin Gibb talked in 2009 about "I Started a Joke": "This is a very spiritual song. The listeners have to interpret it themselves, trying to explain it would detract from the song" The hauntingly beautiful melody brings the ballad up to one of the top 2 or 3 songs that the Bee Gees have ever written. - เพลง
Hi; who’s listening in 2024? GoodLuck ❤
3/31/24!
31/3/2024….
I still do ❤❤❤
Robin's voice was at its best at his young age/FLAWLESS!!!
04/04/24 RIP the great Robin Gibb 🥺
Thank you baby reindeer for reminding me of this beautiful song
Yes!!! I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since I finished watching. That was such a great series. Can't believe that's the actual guy who experienced all that.
Same! When this song played I felt so sad and had to look this up
Me too
I have the same 😁
This is exactly what I was thinking. Awesome show and beautiful sad song.
I just cried when I was younger when I heard this. It still makes me feel weepy at seventy-one.
Smiles, hi pat 👋
Me too. And I am 87. England, January, 2024.
God bless you, ma'am
Ich geboren 1979....Kindheitserinnerungen.....
Moi j'ai 73 ans c'est ma chanson préférée
Baby Reindeer brought me here. I know about Bee Gees by name and this song for years, but never bothered listening to it. Amazing song for an amazing series.
People who dismiss the Bee Gees because of the disco era need to listen to this song and rethink their opinion.
Pretty right!
are you serious? lol
Bee Gees one of the best of all time !
You got that right
Yea
Who else gets choked up by the line "til I finally died" ?
th-cam.com/video/JOM-9buVu6s/w-d-xo.html
me me me me 😭😭😭😭😭
The tears build with that line, then flow with "Which started the whole world living". So powerfully profound
If this song does not touch your heart, you don't have one. Misty eyed again.
When music was music!! When songs SAID something!! When the GIFT of song mattered!! That voice is absolutely mesmerizing!!
Smiles, hi Regina 👋
listen to chief keef
Who is here for Robins beautiful voice and not coz of some film??
*here* his voice is amazing and it's sad that it's only avalible in videos and music players now :(
Never heard of Conjuring 2. I'm here bc I love good music and Bee Gees produced GREAT music for 4 decades.
Me....amazing voice...you can actually feel it
It's good that these songs are being used in new films as people who haven't heard them before can appreciate them.
Who cares how I came across this song. I'm listening to it now because of The Conjuring 2. It's a great song. So many musical snobs out there.
I was working in my yard today and this came up on my playlist....I was literally weeping and pulling weeds.
It's amazing what music can do to you and your heart ❤️ and soul.
Smiles, hi marg 👋
😢 love the song 💕
These 3 brothers were truly a gift from God to the world...
There was four. People forget Andy. 😢
🙏🏽💯
you are serious?
There’s a lot of truth to this masterpiece
The four
What a voice Robin had. He's 18 here and he sang his signature song as well when he was 60.
th-cam.com/video/JOM-9buVu6s/w-d-xo.html
This song is a classic! Now & forever ❤️
Hauntingly beautiful voice Robin
Smiles, hi Sara 👋
Not all that many songs that can make a grown man cry. This is one of them.
This song is going right into my soul.
Still makes me cry even in my 50's. I am honoured to be of the same generation as these amazing brothers. They made my life so much happier
❤
You’re not of the same generation as them then
@@john.premose who cares... they have a love for what many will never know. Sounds like you might be one of them..
@@gatormcklusky5850 what’s your problem bro? You’re salty just because I like to be accurate
@@john.premose What's the point of trolling a perfect stranger over nothing, As much as you wanta call me salty the same can be said for you, the entire comment was pointless. they don't care, i don't care, nobody cares if their of that generation or not, the person identified with the group / made em feel good and you couldn't deal with it.
Barry, Robin and Maurice were unique. Each had so much talent. This song really showcases Robin’s voice, love it
There is only one brothers Gibb left. They are passing away. Dying and I'm crying!
Weird they died in reverse order... Baby Andy was the first to go. Leaving the oldest, Barry,
to carry the memories of these amazing musicians. I wonder was big sis musical as well?
It does, Robin was my favourite brother. I just watched an amazing documentary from HBO called BeeGees how to mend a broken heart.
The joke was on me.
I know Andy never made part of the Bee Gees, but he also needs to be remembered
I was 22 , it was Nov.’68 and I was just starting my two year enlistment in the US army in Fort Lewis , Washington.I remember listening to this song and wanting to cry because it’s a sad song and also the situation I was in.

Thank you for your bravery and service sir.
Thank you for your service to our country. I am so sad for how it is going right now. Be blessed, sir.
Good story, thanks for your service.
@@fredtolode9782 good video
This song is a masterpiece
Start: Aaaaaah... 😅
The End: Ooooooh... 😢
I remember seeing them in concert back in 1979. When he did this song, Barry and Maurice left the stage and the lighting was reduced to a single blue spotlight. Combine that with his silver jogging suit and flaming red hair......one of the most amazing performances I've ever seen.
incredible!
My favorite Bee Gees song, love Robin’s voice! There will never be another singer like Robin
th-cam.com/video/JOM-9buVu6s/w-d-xo.html
Agree
This song is a paradoxical lyrically. Beautiful yet absurdist in nature.
This song is just so right for Robin's voice. He has one of the most unique voices around
This song is about the whole world being against you.❤️I think we can relate to this. Beautiful, a, work of pure genuis. What a gift from the Gods
Robbin what a voice. God's gift
Why is this so much better than what the so called talent of today comes up with ?
th-cam.com/video/JOM-9buVu6s/w-d-xo.html
This is a lovely song! There is plenty of lively music around today too.
Because it is!
"Till I finally died" RIP Robin. you have very meaningful song
th-cam.com/video/JOM-9buVu6s/w-d-xo.html
Just beautiful and goes straight to the heart. I can't believe that over 300 soul-less individuals gave it a thumbs down!
th-cam.com/video/JOM-9buVu6s/w-d-xo.html
Jealous
...AW, SCREW 'EM-!!!
I’m pretty sure it’s not because of the song but the video is definitely not the best. This is one of my favorite songs and in my personal opinion de video is terrible… of course I would never dislike the video because I just don’t do that and because I love the song, but that’s just me.
more than 300
This is how I'd like to remember Robin Gibb. Young, and singing his signature song. Rest well, sir.
Your voice will live forever... RIP Robin...
th-cam.com/video/JOM-9buVu6s/w-d-xo.html
Here we are listening to the Bee Gees in 2021! This song will go on forever!

2022
So much raw emotion in his voice. It really is amazing that he doesn't cry while singing it.
RIP Robin Gibb. You were undisputedly one of the greatest singing artists of all time.
My mom was a huge Bee Gees fan and loved all three of them, but Robin was definitely her favorite. I never really knew why but as I have gotten older and am able to better appreciate music, I now see why. I think Barry has one of the best falsettos and vibratos of all time, but Robin just has some special quality to his voice that you can't really put a finger on, you just feel it.
I can't stop devouring this song... and that since about 50 years .. It's an angel song. ❤
@@Andybetz.99ciao Andy!🙋😍😘💘🍀
Fez parte da minha adolescência. Não canso de ouvir até hoje. Saudades! ❤
This song describes my life perfectly 😭💔😭
But soon the world will be happy and alive
This beautiful song has a spiritual meaning according to Robin and yes it’s truly amazing how he came up with it ♥️
"Till I finally died, which started the whole world living." That can only mean one person, y'know?
@@johnhunter2294 hi John we are thinking the same thing a very special song and Robin was so young when he wrote it
@@christinerose4839 Yes, he was so young but yet so awakened spiritually. The Bee Gees have so many beautiful songs; they're so much more than just "that disco group".
@@johnhunter2294 you are so right about the beautiful songs and did you ever see them when a guy called Noel Edmonds got then to go to a hotel for an interview but it was set up to pull a joke on them and they were super nice to everyone if you haven’t watched it it’s a real treat
@@christinerose4839 They always seemed like really down-to-earth people, the kind you could play a joke on and they'd laugh with you instead of getting mad. I haven't seen the Edmonds thing, I'll look for it. Thank you. :)
This 1968 Bee Gees hit came at the right moment for my dad for he was going through the most difficult years of his life as a Heartbroken man who resorted to drinking in 1969 onward till 1984 but was too late and died of Cirrhosis of the liver to heavy drinking in 1988. But his heart was mended in 1984 which was so inspiring and he confessed that God gave the cure with these hits of the Bee Gees as one of the handful groups in the world.
So I respect and honor Bee Gees for the 6 Decades of ministering to Souls devastated by Heartbreak since their formation of 1958. The Multi-Million or Billion people owe their life to the healing their hits have to their shattered decimated heart to smithereens by broken-heart but they were the God Divine Healer as an Anti-Venom and Anti-Dote to their Tragedy of Tragic Heartbreak.
The Bee Gees songs were part of my dads 1950s-1970s collections for they were part of his 1900s-1980s songs collections that were Anti-Venom & Anti-Dote to his Heartbreaks in 1944, 1950, 1959, 1966 & 1973. So he taught me that Love songs both gospel and secular are God Divine cure to all Heartbreaks and never believe in the hypocrisy by most Christians that secular love songs are evil. He was a former Choir Conductor for the Fiji School of Medicine Methodist Chapel of Doctors & Nurses both working and studying between 1953-1960. So I was blessed to believe in it for it cured my Heartbreak in 1976-7, 1980, 1987, 1994, 2008, 2010, 2015, 2018 till today especially with this 1968 hit.
Love and Thanks to all the worlds groups and artists for their God given talent in giving us Heartbroken individuals of the world from 1900s till end of the earth, if not for them we would have died from its death bites but their hits were our savior and healer, especially Bee Gees hits whom I have witnessed as it healed my dad's broken-heart and later on mine as well. I am always a One Woman Man till death and that is my uniqueness but also my vulnerability, but would never exchange it with nothing still Love and Thanks from your coconut crazy fan from the Edges of the Sand Dunes of Fiji.
This will stay in my liked videos FOREVER

Definitely Robin's beautiful voice! It still transports me back 55 years!
When I was12 years old, which was.many years ago, this was the first record I ever bought. I loved Robin Gibb's voice and the words to this song. These three brothers had the.most beautiful, incredible voices. Andy, also, had an incredible voice.
th-cam.com/video/JOM-9buVu6s/w-d-xo.html
I watched Baby Rendeer. Heard this song. Since then i can't stop sobbing. 😢
We miss you Robin💖💖💖
Beautiful song,voice,real talent ❤
I remember when I first heard this song back in the late 60,s it really hit me and still does
Same here. Only Barry Gibb is left now. Crying!
Natural perfect vibrato. RIP
What a voice!
This melodic song, so powerful, yet few can even guess at its deepest meaning. RIP Robin Gibb!
?
Vc era lindo do mesmo jeito que está sua música nos faz bem ao ouvir . ❤❤❤❤❤
In the memory of robin gibb 1949-2012 he had a beautiful voice
Forget the cruel world, listen to this song! 🥰❤️
I was crying during the song and still have tears now 😭😭😭😭😭😭
th-cam.com/video/JOM-9buVu6s/w-d-xo.html
Robin, the best.
I cry for this song.
Beautiful song which makes me want to cry every time I listen to it.
I just love Robin so much. His voice was so beautiful u could cry.. R.I.P sweet Angel 😇
This song always makes me cry.
What a beautiful voice - all three were amazing singers
I wasn’t born until 1972- I love the Bee Gees- this song gives me goosies ya’ll!! I love it so much and I cry every time I hear it ❤
You can’t get a trio the same as the Bee Gees. Robin had a good range of vocals and sadly lost his cancer battle around the same time as Donna Summer, Barry is the only surviving Bee Gee.
🥹 he sounded so beautiful. You could hear his pain
I am with à friend and listen this for thé first time since 45 years about
Maybe they were better than in Sat night fever
I remember this song from the radio in 1968. I was 11 years old. What a fantastic time for music!!!

Eri poco più di un bambino quando cantavi questa canzone eppure eri già un grande sei sempre nel mio cuore grande Robin
This is a sad song I would say this is my favorite sad song 👍👍👍😭😭😭😭❤️❤️😭😭

Robin, I so believe he had the most angelic voice out of the brother's..simply soul grabbing kinda voice..you are so missed Robin..may you and your brother rest in heavenly 🕊️ 🕊️ peace.. ❤❤🙏🙏
Smiles, hi Emily 👋
Still love this song of Robin.
I am floored at the fact Robin is 18 here!! Wow.
'23, still great!
What. A Voice. What a Legend. R.I.P . Robin So missed 😭😭🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊😭
th-cam.com/video/JOM-9buVu6s/w-d-xo.html
Pore raising voice and lyrics.
Such a sad song. Putting all emotions out there.
such a beautifull song ...Robin on his own💌
Smiles, hi Nancy 👋
I always remember my disable brother everytime i hear this
My late wife loved Robin's voice, I can see why. The Bee Gees wrote some great songs. We used to listen to them a lot.
I was one year old when this came out...didn't start appreciating The Bee Gees until Grease came out..I then started listening to all their stuff...amazing group of brothers and now there is only one left...super talented and missed❤
My god I love The Bee Gees so much it makes me want to cry
I love Robin Gibbs unique sound, wow what an amazing voice!! This man was in a league of his own. The music industry made Barry the 🌟 of the group, and poor Maurice hardly ever got any recognition; he also had more than just a backup singers talent, this is the absolute truth of the matter!! I give each of the Gibb brothers their own JUST DUES!!! LOVE THEM ALL, INCLUDING Andy...
Beautiful Song...they have made so Much Great music/Songs
Morava eu em Santana Livramento RS. Saudades da linda fronteira. . Praia grande sp 👏🎉👍🎉👍1969
This song was part of my childhood i cried with this song
RIP Robin gibb 1949-2012
th-cam.com/video/JOM-9buVu6s/w-d-xo.html
Happy birthday our sweet robin! Dec 22, and mo! Lovelove robin forever!
Between early childhood to my early 20's I went through depression, particularly when I was a little kid and I was bullied both physically and mentally, and this song didn't help matters, as I would have moments alone thinking "if l were to die, would anyone notice? Would it matter?" Each time I heard this song, the lyrics connected to me in ways that made me feel alone, isolated, and worthless. But instead of giving up and leaving, I was reminded of how much my 'family' loved me, and realized that if the world truly didn't care about me, then the world would have to be the ones to take me out of it. For me, songs like this one act as a reminder of how cruel the world can be, only they aren't who I live for. I live for my family, my friends, and for me.
Rest in peace Robin a great talent
Pure and beautiful, I miss them so much. I grew up listening to them
who ever gave the thumbs down...you suck
I was 13 in 1968 and saw Robin sing this 🇳🇿😊💋💋
I love Robin's singing voice so much. I would like to hear some of the BeeGees' earlier work played on the radio. It would be a shame if it was forgotten.
Robin thanks for music

Super chanson de Robin Gibb😘...
These brothers where a gift I am sorry that he passed away🥲

Absolut perfekt, sowas wird es nicht mehr geben leider 😢
나는 비지스의 노래 중에서 로빈의 노래를 더 좋아했어요. 그 독특한 음색이 좋았고, 내 젊은 대학생 시절 그의 이 노래가 처음 우리나라에 들어와 힛트가 되어 모든 젊은이들이 기타를 치며 따라 불렀고, 나도 그랬는데 벌써 80이 되었네요. 젊은 시절 그들의 노래는 나에게 많은 위로와 힘이 되었죠. 지금도 그들의 노래를 추억에 젖어 눈물을 글썽이며 듣곤 합니다. 아! 지나간 시간들이여.....!
