started a joke - bee gees
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'd said.
til 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'd said.
'til i finally died,
which started the whole world living,
oh, if i'd only seen that the joke was one me.
that the joke was one me.
从小受音乐熏陶的比吉斯兄弟,从60年代开始,以旋风之势风靡了英伦。在1967年推出的首张大碟《The Bee Gees First》不但让他们成为排行榜上的常客,其中Massachusetts、I Started A Joke和 Words等运用文字描绘影像的歌词与让人无法抗拒的旋律,更使得这些歌曲依旧是那个年代的伟大歌曲的代表。
早期的比吉斯以充满灵魂的音乐为走向。在70年代中期,比吉斯转向他们称之为“蓝眼灵魂乐”的音乐风格,以假声唱腔搭配富有旋律的曲调与肥厚的贝斯声线,俨然成为新式的R&B风潮。1975年发行的《Main Course》这张专辑中的单曲Nights on Broadway更在1997年轰动各大舞池。如今专辑在全球累计销售量突破1亿张大关的比吉斯,不仅是惟一在60~90年代都能夺得排行榜冠军的歌手,更是历史上最成功的三重唱。拥抱过7次葛莱美奖的比吉斯,缔造了两项空前绝后的纪录:乐坛历史上惟一连续创作出6首全美冠军曲的艺人,以及惟一同时拥有5首歌曲在美国单曲榜TOP10的歌手。
