Words is a song by the Bee Gees, written past Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb. The song reached No. 1 in Federal republic of germany, Canada, Switzerland, and the netherlands.

"Words" was the Bee Gees third UK top 10 hit, reaching number eight, and in a UK television special on ITV in Dec 2011 it was voted fourth in "The Nation'south Favourite Bee Gees Song".[one] The song has been recorded by many other artists, including hit versions past Rita Coolidge in 1978 and Boyzone in 1996. This was Boyzone's 5th single and their first number-one hitting in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland.

Writing [edit]

Barry Gibb explains:

'Words' was written by me at Adams Row when I was staying at Robert [Stigwood]'s place, A lot of people began to embrace that vocal, so over the years information technology's become a fleck like 'To Dearest Somebody'. I didn't know it wasn't on an album — that's strange how information technology used to work in those days. We used to bang singles out one after another.

—Barry Gibb[2]

Robin Gibb:

'Words' reflects a mood, It was written after an argument. Barry had been arguing with someone, I had been arguing with someone, and happened to be in the aforementioned mood. [The arguments were] about absolutely nothing. They were simply words. That is what the vocal is all virtually; words tin brand you lot happy or words tin can make you sad.

—Robin Gibb[3]

Barry said in 1996 on the VH1 Storytellers goggle box show that information technology was written for their director, Robert Stigwood.

Recording [edit]

Words was recorded on three October 1967 along with "World" and the unreleased track "Maccleby's Secret" at the IBC Studios in London.[four] The song featured vocals from only Barry and became his solo spot in concert for the remainder of the Bee Gees' career.

The recording sessions for "Words" were peculiarly memorable for 2 members of the group, Barry explained:[3]

"I remember the [first] session and so clearly. Robin and I were in the studios at nine o'clock in the morning, and Robin kept on falling asleep over the piano. I wanted him to write the pianoforte part of the song and play it because I'chiliad not much of a pianist, but he simply couldn't continue his eyes open up, and so I concluded up doing information technology myself".[iii]

"Words" was as well the showcase for a new pianoforte sound, as Maurice explained:

"We accidentally discovered the audio on 'Words'. When we were recording [it], afterward everyone had gone to lunch, I was sitting at the piano mucking virtually and I wrote a riff. I went upstairs and switched on the mike for the piano, and then I started playing nearly with the knobs in front of me. When I played the tape back, I had all these incredible compressed pianoforte noises. Mike Claydon at IBC Studios, who engineered all our records, then said 'What the hell was that?' when he heard the pianoforte sound. 'Come here and mind to that sound'. It was just compression, but he didn't know what to call it then. I think he called it 'limited'. It made the piano sound similar information technology was about xl pianos playing at the same time and very, very thick. In 'Words' information technology was very beautiful merely that sound on information technology fabricated it sound like the LA Symphony on it. If y'all heed to all our records, the piano sound is on it.[3]

Co-ordinate to sound engineer Damon Lyon-Shaw:

"I was the one that actually devised it, Mike Claydon was the ane who took the credit for information technology, simply i was really piddling around at the time as his junior. On the mixer at the time, nosotros had compressors, Maurice was playing at piano at the time, just piddling around [and] I started feeding the pianoforte into a series of these compressors and then screwed them up until he got his lovely metal sort of sucking audio, and that was the nativity of that sound, Maurice, causeless it was Michael, so he took the credits.[iii]

Another sound engineer John Pantry offered to put things in a proper perspective:[3]

"Well, Damon didn't make the compressor/limiter, and my retentiveness is that we all used to utilise that audio once we discovered what it did to piano notes. As to who got there first is open to debate. The sound was unique because it was a habitation-made device that was fabricated by a guy called Denis Male monarch".[iii]

Release [edit]

The B-side for "Words" was "Sinking Ships", one of very few songs past the Bee Gees to feature all three brothers on lead vocals: Barry and Robin Gibb in the verses and Maurice Gibb on the song's chorus. The group performed this vocal on The Ed Sullivan Bear witness in 1968, with Barry Gibb on vocals, Maurice Gibb on bass, Robin Gibb on piano, Vince on guitar and Colin on drums. On that performance Vince is playing Gibson ES-335, and Maurice is playing Rickenbacker 4001. Some bankroll vocals near the end are heard simply on the mono mix used on the single, some compilations, and the Studio Albums 1967–1968 box set.

Mixes for "Words" suffered many different problems. Since it was originally used merely as a single, no stereo mix was fabricated until Atlantic wanted one for the Best of Bee Gees album in 1969, where it fabricated its first appearance on LP. A stereo mix with the pianoforte, bass and drums mixed down and the vocals pushed frontwards was made, which fans were dissatisfied with. Polydor in the UK instead chose to apply the mono mix on their version of the anthology. In 1990, Bill Inglot prepared an improved stereo mix. While doing so, he noticed that two brusque sections of backing vocal near the end of the song were on the mono mix but non on the four-runway chief, as if Barry added them while the mono mix was made. The Studio Albums 1967–1968 used the original mono mix. Equally stated on the original unmarried release, the song was featured in the pic The Mini Mob (1968), where it was sung by Georgie Fame in an organisation by Bill Shepherd.

"Words" debuted at No. 67 in Cashbox in the The states in the week of 20 January 1968.[5] It was the Bee Gees' second Uk Elevation 10 single after "Massachusetts".

Cash Box called it a "beautiful ballad line with a semi-soft, somewhat-rock sound obtained by the use of virtually classic piano, soaring strings and a pop percussion" and a "brilliant song atomic number 82."[6]
