How can I not re-post this song?
Today, of all days.

The Brothers Gibb is probably one of my guilty pleasures
when it comes to listening to yesteryear’s music.

Don’t judge me.
I know you secretly dance to “Stayin’ Alive”
whenever you hear it come on the radio.

The BeeGees are cool.
A lot of bands and artists covered many of their songs.
I covered this one many years ago, because it’s one of my favourites.
As a matter of fact, “Words” is the very first song I have learned to play completely.
From start to finish, without pausing to figure out the chord fingerings.

Anyway,
Here is “First of May.”
Music by – The Beegees
Voice, all Instruments and percussion arrangements – Ty Martell

Lyrics begin here:


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 mine.
