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
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.
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.
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 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. 🙏💘🙏💘🙏💘
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 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.
I was 12 years old when my mum walked out on my violent father. Me and my younger sister were taken to stay at an aunt's home, we did not know them and we were confused and scared and of course missing our mum. My cousin Linda tried to make me feel at home and took me to her room and let me go through her record collection. The First of May was the record she played to me and I cried my eyes out as I wanted my mum so badly. I am 63 now and I listen to this record and it takes me right back to that sad and scary time.
Thanks for your story mate. It shows how powerfully music can bring a whole forgotten world back to us. Sometimes it's too painful because the memories are still raw, even a lifetime later. But it's a beautiful memory to have buddy, even if it's tinged with the sadness of that time. God bless
The Bee Gees,one of the best bands of all times,what the Gibbs brothers have done for the industry is amazing,music has changed so much since the 70’s,but it is all because of what the Bee Gees has done,anyway I could be wrong,anyway the Bee Gees is always my favourite band
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
Oh my God one of their best I love everything that the Bee gees have ever done. I watch their videos on TH-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.
"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 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 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"......
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!!!
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.
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 brothers Gibb had the greatest childhood experiences, they were so funny, creative and sweet. I mean, they lived their life to the fullest! I'm still very young and the Bee Gees inspire me do great things in my life. Not to mention their music! (I'm crying while writing this, the emotion in their voices and their lyrics are so sweet and make emotional :').They were one of the greatest bands ever! Legends...
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.
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 TH-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! 🙏🙏🙏
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.
@incogneto Australia then was a great country to grow up in but for entertainers wanting to make it big they had to go overseas. The population is nearly 25.5 million now. It was only 11 million in the 60s. Older sister Lesley still lives here. She married and had 9 or 10 children.

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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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..
@@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. Some times he is with you.That's is part of everlasting love & existence.Cheers.Rip. Love.*****. Canada- Hungary.
Oh so sadly beautiful... I can't stop the tears, not that I want too.. this emotional song stabs me in the heart. I'll put this song up against anything the Beatles ever wrote. words aren't enough to explain the effect this song has on me
Beautiful song, but I would not compare Bee Gees with The Beatles, which in my opinion is still the biggest band of all time, moreover, they had different styles, each with its merits such as Led Zeppelin, The Platters or Any Other Talented artist. I love this song!
@Aloysius, I understand you not wanting to compare this with the Beatles, but I will. Yes, it reminds us of the Beatles from the same period: Eleanor Rigby, Norwegian Wood. I don't know why, but if I had only one to take, it would be First of May.
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.😭😭😭💔
This was the tune in our home back in those days.. home was filled with beautiful music from a box radio with button dials. We had to wait for the radio DJ on a scheduled time and gathered around the radio. :) That was precious time and so were the songs including this BeeGees' First of May! Till today, I love this song!❤
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.
I feel so fortunate that my mum played the beegees when i was younger as the people i know in my age group hardly know anything from them. I always used to cry when i heard this song.
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 I just listen to it now brought back lots of memories,watch the movie called melody the bee gees back ground lots of song saw this movie in 1972 am 69 now I fell in love with my first girlfriend,we were madly in love with each other,we never got married,I met her Durban 2017at beach doing the park run,after 28years I recognized her,I told her who I am It's Roger your ex I just hugged her she hugged me we both felt that love it must be the chemistry we just I live in paarl she in Durban I sometimes regret not taking her phone number my love for his still in my heart love you lots my Darling Thirumala,1st of May was my favorite song for her God bless you my Darling
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.
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.

"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".

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.
wish i have a time machine, I'll go back to 80's when my mom is still alive, miss you mom
❤️❤❤❤🙏
This song really does bring back memories. Very sentimental. Makes us appreciate the small things of life we experienced in childhood.
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"......
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 .
The first time I heard this song, it was performed by an Irish group. Absolutely love!!!❤
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!!!
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
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.👍
Such beautiful and precious memories 🙏💙
The brothers Gibb had the greatest childhood experiences, they were so funny, creative and sweet. I mean, they lived their life to the fullest! I'm still very young and the Bee Gees inspire me do great things in my life. Not to mention their music! (I'm crying while writing this, the emotion in their voices and their lyrics are so sweet and make emotional :').They were one of the greatest bands ever! Legends...
❤❤❤
Os Bee Gees é uma daquelas bandas em que não existe música ruins, todas são clássicas e imortais
Quando Souza vc sabe o que fala..eles são demais mesmo.parabens..amooooooo
Quando Souza vc é dez. Bee Gees para sempre
Wando Souza vc sabe o que fala...amo os bee Gees
Bee Gees ícone da música pop mundial. Desafio outra banda a fazer o que eles fizeram.
Verdade
This beautiful song was composed by the Beegees in their age of early twenty years old, remarkable..Love it very much
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.
Today Is 1st May 2019 And I'm Gonna Love This Greatest Song Once 1st May 2020,2021,2022,2023,2024,2025 And Forever ❤

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 TH-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! 🙏🙏🙏
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.💜
Early 60's Australia, when life was ever so simple as a kid.
@incogneto Australia then was a great country to grow up in but for entertainers wanting to make it big they had to go overseas. The population is nearly 25.5 million now. It was only 11 million in the 60s.
Older sister Lesley still lives here. She married and had 9 or 10 children.
@@missym7245 WOWEE!!! That's awesome that Lesley had such a large family.
One day I will move to Australia .
NOT the Isle of Man?
Australia made them
Some of, if not the greatest, songwriters ever!
One of my all time favorites!!
Wonderful warm memories....
Robin looked like a joyful carefree child rejoicing in the youth of his life. How time passes, and is gone....
May Robin and Maurice's soul rest in peace 🙌💔😔
Em que ano foi feito esse 📹
That hug between Barry and Robin is priceless.
True is beautiful
Especially as Robin grew up he was shy and wasn't one for hugging people in public.
Came here to listen and reminisce. May 1, 2024.
First of May. What a nice song from very nice people.
Ladies and gents, if ever there was a song that said “ live life because you only get one” - this is it !
Bloody superb!
very well put
Thank you Canta - I’m back again because yesterday was the 1st of May.
Good health and happiness 👍
Only Jesus Christ gives hope after this life.
@@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.
@@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!🤗😛😂
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.
The lyrics are so poignant. Sad yet beautiful. Memories, they keep us going but destroy us. Bee gees thank you.
Struggente canzone dei Bee gees

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.

Ainda bem que existe youtube ...que saudade dessa epoca

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.....TH-cam, we're living in a virtual world.
The first time i saw this i was in floods of tears. Genius
Took me a few listens, but the tears did set in today
me too friend
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!
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.
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.
Somehow this song just made me realise how time passed by so quickly 😢
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.
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!
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..
Never forgotten my first love since high school days,Now im66yrs.old.
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

Yes Barry love his siblings. He is a good big brother to his siblings. Mo as usual is busy with his camera.
One of my favorites their music will on forever
I also listen the song today
1.5.2024
First time I listen 50 years ago - now I am 70 years young
Oh so sadly beautiful... I can't stop the tears, not that I want too.. this emotional song stabs me in the heart. I'll put this song up against anything the Beatles ever wrote. words aren't enough to explain the effect this song has on me
Beautiful song, but I would not compare Bee Gees with The Beatles, which in my opinion is still the biggest band of all time, moreover, they had different styles, each with its merits such as Led Zeppelin, The Platters or Any Other Talented artist. I love this song!
@Aloysius, I understand you not wanting to compare this with the Beatles, but I will. Yes, it reminds us of the Beatles from the same period: Eleanor Rigby, Norwegian Wood. I don't know why, but if I had only one to take, it would be First of May.
I know exactly what you mean... my favorite song ever... still teary eyed,,,
the fucking beatles never ever got this real
baby jesus shut to fuck up libtard.
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.
Those were good times. The brothers never thought they will reach the pinnacle of their career.
This was the tune in our home back in those days.. home was filled with beautiful music from a box radio with button dials. We had to wait for the radio DJ on a scheduled time and gathered around the radio. :) That was precious time and so were the songs including this BeeGees' First of May! Till today, I love this song!❤
The love between the two brothers really shows in this video
Hello Cris Kethiri. How are you doing?
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.
I feel so fortunate that my mum played the beegees when i was younger as the people i know in my age group hardly know anything from them. I always used to cry when i heard this song.
echt het mooiste nummer van de bee gees, dont forget.
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!!!
Así es!! Se nota que se querían muchísimo!!
So lovely and too see Barry and Robin playing and hugging as children, filmed by Maurice .soooooo sweet
This song I just listen to it now brought back lots of memories,watch the movie called melody the bee gees back ground lots of song saw this movie in 1972 am 69 now I fell in love with my first girlfriend,we were madly in love with each other,we never got married,I met her Durban 2017at beach doing the park run,after 28years I recognized her,I told her who I am It's Roger your ex I just hugged her she hugged me we both felt that love it must be the chemistry we just I live in paarl she in Durban I sometimes regret not taking her phone number my love for his still in my heart love you lots my Darling Thirumala,1st of May was my favorite song for her God bless you my Darling
