出生在愛爾蘭海的曼島,Gibb兄弟從小便受音樂的薰陶,父親Hugh是樂團的團長,
母親Barbara則是位歌手。9歲那時Barry已經開始歌唱並彈奏父親送給他的吉他,
幫他伴奏的是兩個6歲的雙胞胎兄弟Robin與Maurice。Robin與Barry那獨一無二的嗓音成為日後樂團的著名標籤,
Maurice則是在吉他、貝斯及鍵盤等樂器上鑽研。在十幾歲時,他們隨著父母搬至澳洲,
以Rattlesnakes為團名在布里斯本的賽馬場表演。Bee Gees 的團名取自Barry Gibb 的起首字母,
1958全家移民澳洲,首支單曲“Three Kisses Of Love” (1963)稍獲成功。
到1966年他們已成為澳洲頂尖的合唱團。1966年的Spicks & Specks為他們在澳洲得到首張冠軍單曲,
1967年三人以Bee Gees為團名正式重返英倫出道。1967年澳洲經紀人Robert Stigwood 帶著他們回到英國發展。
此時 Colin Petersen 加入擔任鼓手,Vince Melouney 亦加入擔任吉他手。
Bee Gees 到英國後,“Spicks And Specks”在澳洲奪下排行榜冠軍。
旋即並以“New York Mining Disaster, 1941”在英美創下佳績,繼“To Love Somebody”和“Holiday”成為暢銷曲,
“ Massachusetts”也登上英國金榜榜首。“I've Got To Get A Message To you”更證明他們兄弟詞曲創作的才華。
1969年,Melouney 自組小型樂團,Robin Gibb 亦獨自單飛,至 1970 年後期又重組。
1971年單曲“Lonely Days”及“ How Can You Mend A Broken Heart”在美國創下200萬張的成績,但隨後歌唱事業陷入低潮。
直到 70 年代中期的 Disco 熱潮,方再創他們的事業高峰,並使他們成為超級巨星。
從自憐故事性的歌曲,轉型為輕柔靈魂樂及 Disco 舞曲,由 Robin 的高音搭配假音合聲,
完美的合音技巧形成 Bee Gees 獨一無二的特色。1975年,由 Arif Mardin 製作的專輯“Main Course”獲得白金唱片肯定。
單曲“Jive Talking”更是轟動一時。之後自己製作的專輯“Children Of The World”,
包含“You Should Be Dancing”和“Love So Right”兩支熱門單曲。“Saturday Night Fever” 電影原聲帶創造了三首冠軍曲。
排行榜冠軍專輯“Spirits Having Flow”更創造六支冠軍曲的非凡成就。
Feel I'm goin' back to Massachusetts,
Something's telling me I must go home.
And the lights all went down in Massachusetts
The day I left her standing on her own.
Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco,
Gotta do the things I wanna do.
And the lights all went down in Massachusetts
They brought me back to see my way with you.
Talk about the life in Massachusetts,
Speak about the people I have seen,
And the lights all went down in Massachusetts
And Massachusetts is one place I have seen.
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.
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 go.
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.
When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
do do do do do do do do do...
I started a joke which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see that the joke was on me oh no
I started to cry which started the whole world laughing
Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me
I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said
'Till I finally died which started the whole world living
Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me
I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said
'Till I finally died which started the whole world living
Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me
Oh no that the joke was on me
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb
Oh you and me girl
Got a lot of love in store
And it flows through you
And it flows through me
And I love you so much more
Than my life...I can see beyond forever
Ev'rything we are will never die
Loving's such a beautiful thing
Oh you make my world..a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb
You and me girl got a highway to the sky
We can turn away from the night and day
And the tears you had to cry
You're my life...
I can see a new tomorrow
Ev'rything we are will never die
Loving's such a beautiful thing
When you are to me, the light above
Made for all to see our precious love
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb
Love is such a beautiful thing
You make my world a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as wide as a river and harder to cross
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb
Smile an everlasting smile, a smile can bring you
near to me.
Don't ever let me find you gone, cause that would
bring a tear to me.
This world has lost its glory, let's start a brand
new story now, my love.
Right now, there'll be no other time and I can show
you how, MY LOVE.
Talk in everlasting words, and dedicate them all to
me.
And I will give you all my life, I'm here if you
should call to me.
You think that I don't even mean a single word I
say.
It's only words, and words are all I have, to take
your heart away
Who is the girl with the crying face looking at millions of signs?
She knows that life is a running race,
Her face shouldn't show any sides.
Melody Fair won't you comb your hair? You can be beautiful too.
Melody Fair , remember you're only a woman .
Melody Fair, remember you're only a girl. Ah...
Who is the girl at the window pane, watching the rain falling down?
Melody, life isn't like the rain ; its just like a merry go round.
Melody Fair won't you comb your hair? You can be beautiful too.
Melody Fair, remember you're only a woman.
Melody Fair, remember you're only a girl. Ah...

It's over and done
but the heartache lives on inside ooooh
and who is the one you're clinging to instead of me
tonight?
And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow ,wherever you go
i cry me a river
that leads to your ocean
You'll never see me fall apart
In the words of a broken heart
it's just emotion
that's taking me over
tied up in sorrow
lost in my soul
but if you don't come back
come home to me darling
you know that there'll be nobody left in this world to hold me tight,
nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight,
Goodnight, goodnight
I'm there at your side,
I'm part of all the things you are
but you've got a part of someone else
you've gone to find your shining star
And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow ,wherever you go
i cry me a river
that leads to your ocean
You'll never see me fall apart
In the words of a broken heart
it's just emotion

tied up in sorrow
lost in my soul
but if you don't come back
come home to me darling

I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love
Then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love
How deep is your love
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breakin’ us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You're my saviour when I fall
And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside
That I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love
How deep is your love
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breakin’ us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
And you come to me on a summer breeze,
Keep me warm in your love
Then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love
How deep is your love
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breakin’ us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
Here I lie
In a lost and lonely part of town
Held in time
In a world of tears I slowly drown
Going home
I just can't make it all alone
I really should be holdin' you, holdin' you
Lovin' you, lovin' you
Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no one to love you you're going nowhere
Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no one beside you, you're going nowhere
Night and day
There's a burnin' down inside of me
Oh, burnin' love
With a yearnin' that won't let me be
Down I go
And I just can't take it all alone
I really should be holdin' you, holdin' you
Lovin' you, lovin' you
Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm.
I've been kicked around since I was born.
And now it's all right, it's O.K.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man.
Whether you're a brother
Or whether you're a mother,
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.

You know it's all right, it's O.K.
I'll live to see another day.

Listen to the ground: there is movement all around.
There is somethin’ goin' down, and I can feel it.
On the waves of the air, there is dancin' out there.
If it's somethin' we can share, we can steal it.
And that sweet city woman, she moves through the light,
Controlling my mind and my soul.
When you reach out for me, yeah, and the feelin' is right,
The night fever, night fever: we know how to do it.
Gimme the night fever, night fever: we know how to show it.
Here I am, prayin' for this moment to last,
Livin' on the music so fine, borne on the wind,
Makin' it mine.
The night fever, night fever: we know how to do it.
Gimme the night fever, night fever: we know how to show it.
In the heat of our love, don't need no help for us to make it.
Gimme just enough takin’ us to the mornin'.
I got fire in my mind. I get higher in my walkin',
And I'm glowin' in the dark; I give you warnin'.
And that sweet city woman, she moves through the light,
Controlling my mind and my soul.
When you reach out for me, yeah, and the feelin' is right,

So this is who I am,
And this is all I know,
And I must choose to live,
For all that I can give,
The spark that makes the power grow
And I will stand for my dream if I can,
Symbol of my faith in who I am,
But you are my only,
And I must follow the road that lies ahead,
And I won't let my heart control my head,
But you are my only
And we don't say goodbye,
And I know what I've got to be
Immortality
I make my journey through eternity
I keep the memory of you and me inside
Fulfill your destiny,
Is there within the child,
My storm will never end,
My fate is on the wind,
The king of hearts, the joker's wild,
But we don't say goodbye,
I'll make them all remember me
'Cos I have found a dream that must come true,
Every ounce of me must see it through,
But you are my only
I'm sorry I don't have a role for love to play,
Hand over my heart I'll find my way,
I will make them give to me
Immortality
There is a vision and a fire in me
I keep the memory of you and me, inside
And we don't say goodbye
We don't say goodbye
With all my love for you
And what else we may do
We don't say, goodbye
