What is the song Massachusetts by Bee Gees all about and why was it so popular?

Found it !!!!





MASSACHUSETTS (1967)





BARRY GIBB: It's basically antiflower power... Don't go to San Francisco, come home... We wanted to write the opposite of what it's like to lose somebody who went to San Francisco. The lights all went out in Massachusetts because everybody went to San Francisco, because they left.


ROBIN GIBB: It is not talking about people going back to Massachusetts. It represents all the people who want to go back to somewhere or something. It is all about people who want to escape.What is the song Massachusetts by Bee Gees all about and why was it so popular?
Who cares, it was a rubbish song! 'Staying Alive' was a much better track.What is the song Massachusetts by Bee Gees all about and why was it so popular?
Because it sold lot records why? I don't know
because it wasa jazzy
The what? has already been answered.





The why? is because it is well sung in close harmony. Even today those groups who can sing in close harmony get a better response from audiences than those who can merely sing. Also it's written in a minor key, which always has more emotional effect than works written in a major key.
I don't know. But I do know it's rubbish though
Partly it's because American place names are so great. If the song went 'Feel like going back, to Bognor Regis' it probably would not still be about.
