“Love and relationships are truly one of the most paradoxical aspects of being human. For it is in love that we find the greatest of strengths and the deepest of sorrows. Love can seem to be so fleeting and unachievable, yet it remains well within our reach if we only learn how to embrace its power. To experience true love, we must be willing to open ourselves up and sacrifice part of our heart and part of our soul. We must be willing to give of ourselves freely, and we must be willing to suffer. It is only when we expose our inner selves to the white-hot flame of rejection, that love can burn so brightly as to join two souls, melding the two into one, creating a bond that joins forever. It is from this bond that we draw strength eternal and power everlasting. It is in this thing that we call love that we find the means to achieve greatness, both in ourselves and in our lives.” ~ Anonymous
At 1:10 that Quentin Collins from the Gothic Horror TV show "Dark Shadows" from the early 1970's. He had a eerie song he'd play on the Victrola pictured with him there ("Quentin's Theme - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OHxslQBUPfg.html "). Thanks for sneaking this on a fantastic song such as "Odessa". Bee Gees were a fantastic group!
When you get a sailor shipwrecked on an iceberg in 1899 writing to his wife or lover who has moved to Finland for the vicar she has betrayed him with in the first 30 seconds of a 7 minute song you can only salute the gloriously unhinged brilliance of a teenaged Robin Gibb and enjoy the ride. P.S. Great images!
This is one of the two last albums I bought before going to the US Navy in 1969 (the other being Buffalo Springfield's Retrospective.) I totally loved the Bee Gees up to SNF, and this was always my favorite album and favorite song of the BGs.
3:28 : THE MOST EXCITING AND INTENSE PART OF THIS WONDERFUL WORK OF ART: Treasure You know the neighbours that live next door They haven't got their dog anymore Freezing Sailing around in the North Atlantic Can't seem to leave the sea anymore I just can't understand Why you just moved to Finland You love that Vicar more then words can say Ask him to pray That I won't melt away and I'll see your face again

Teníamos 11 años en ese entonces con mí mejor amigo y escuchábamos está canción, 5 años más tarde en Enero del 80 mi amigo murió de cáncer, siempre lo recuerdo si fuimos a la escuela desde primer grado hasta comienzo del noveno grado, gracias por esta canción del recuerdo...///
Grande vena melodica...qui le trame musicali sono più progressive che pop, e questa per me è stata una piacevole scoperta... c'è "qualcosa" alla Moody Blues, gruppo che amo molto...
@@jaycalloway7946 the comparison that i say it's true only for "Odessa" because Moody Blues is more progressive than Bee Gees...(i hope you understand my bad english).
@@albertomerola9127 I would recommend these titles: "Cucumber Castle", "Trafalgar', "Two Years On" and "To Whom It May Concern". "Main Course" is also a good album, but not in the style of the Moody Blues.
@@jaycalloway7946 Amazing album! BTW i came across the Franklin expedition cause it's sort of background in the 1989 M. Richler novel 'Solomon Gursky was here'. Amazing book also...
Thank you for posting this song with an amazing slideshow of photos! This song is so beautiful to listen to! This song feels like a beautiful piece of historical fiction. I really love Robin's vocals in this song too! 😊😊
TheGreenwyvern I never knew of them before disco. I Started a Joke was the only song I had heard but never put it together. I’m enjoying hearing all their music before disco now!
I absolutely love this song. I perform a cover version at charity suppers and open mics and concert halls for no money just to share the love of music and help at charity events. I love Beatles, Rolling Stones, Kinks, Animals and many others. The Bee Gees are always right beside them and always will be. The Brothers Gibb had their own tv show and act without Beatlemania although they themselves were huge Beatle fans. Robert Stigwood was a partner with Brian Epstein, so The Bee Gees were actually catapulted from the same management stable as The Beatles. Those boys had natural talent passed down in genes, genetic genes of parents. Their Dad Hugh was quite a musician himself. The spark, dad, not a surprise, the spark of life and gusto both parents, music helped steer them from delinquency to major stardom. I have more Bee Gees songs in my open mic lineup than any other band. Not ashamed. The Bee Gees are just GREAT!
@frank perry The Beatles dabbled in Satanic subliminal garbage with there music. made me lose respect for them plus they were arrogant & didn't stand the test of time ! they just weren't as versatile as the Gibbs either.
@@spudjohnsonn8122 I enjoy Beatles music and put the riff raff aside. George was my favorite Beatle. I did not care for the hare krishna stuff though. instead of getting into krishna crap I merely did what buddha did. we can all find our own path. Lennon was not a saint and he went overboard with the bed ins and shit. My opinions. I still love the beatles music though, most of them.
@@frankperry1111 Before you say how much you enjoy the Satanic Beatles ! we are in a battle for our very souls, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan & many others sold there pathetic souls to Satan or dabbled in Satanism. John Lennon compared his popularity to Christ, Karma's a bitch, he got 5 bullets in his back, poor John. in the 70's I read a article in Rolling Stone magazine about bands who used subliminal messages in there music, my Dad being a big Beatles fan & had a phonograph that had a neutral setting, I heard the demons say Satanic crap backwards, your brain will play things backwards whether you play it forward or not ! so you're letting Satan into your mind willingly, you should stick with the BEE GEES. Riff Raff aside, it's real as Satan & Christ friend. Backmasking: Demonic Subliminal Messages in Music, A Sundial Curated Playlist, Backmasking: Demonic Subliminal Messages in Music, A Sundial Curated Playlist Motörhead - “Nightmare/The Dreamtime” Many people have associated Motörhead’s music with the devil and selling your soul. At first, it is quite a laugh because it is simply music, but when this song is played in reverse you might second guess yourself. Played forwards it sounds like an angered growl but reversed it says, “Now tell me about your miserable little lives. I do not subscribe to your superstitious, narrow-minded flights of paranoia. I and people like me will always prevail! You will never stifle our free speech in any country in the world, ’cause we will fight forever.” When the song was released, Motörhead was going through an intense legal battle with their record company and this was supposedly their message to riot ! The Beatles - “I’m So Tired” Perhaps one of the most well-known backmasking conspiracy in music history, towards the end of “I’m So Tired” John Lennon is heard speaking some sort of gibberish. But when flipped, some might hear “Paul is a dead man, miss him, miss him, miss him.” This ties into the infamous “Paul is dead” conspiracy. It was theorized that back in 1966 Paul McCartney died in a horrific car crash and the music industry replaced him with a double. Believers of this theory state that the rest of The Beatles snuck clues into their music to tell fans what really happened to McCartney. The Eagles - “Hotel California” A ’70s classic that pays homage to the twisted side of Hollywood, it is said that this hit might hold a deeper and darker meaning. If you take the time to listen to the opening verse backwards you will hear the words, “Yes, Satan organized his own religion,” or “Satan, he hears this. He had me believe in him.” It might be silly to believe these hidden messages when the band themselves deny these claims, but strangely, you can make out those spooky messages. How could it be unintentional ? Led Zeppelin - “Stairway to Heaven” The accusations of this timeless classic being a tune dedicated to Satan stems from other things the band has done. For example, guitarist Jimmy Page bought a mansion from the famed Satanist Aleister Crowley, and allegedly, he sold his soul to be successful and achieve fame. If this beloved classic rock track is played backwards you will hear, “Oh here’s to my sweet Satan. The one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is Satan. He will give those with him 666. There was a little tool shed where he made us suffer, sad Satan.” Once the band heard this conspiracy they were not amused, because “Stairway to Heaven” was made from their hearts. Page also stated in an interview that he believes slipping hidden messages backwards is not the way to make true music. Enjoy Satan, he's likes destroying us more than we are already, the Bee Gees are a clean Christian group ! Good luck. If you need Satan to help you sell LP's your garbage. may they all burn in hell, I don't like Satan shoved down my throat unwillingly.
