The Bee Gees were a musical group founded in 1958. The group's line-up consisted of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were successful for most of their decades of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a pop act in the late 1960s/early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the late 1970s.
The group sang three-part tight harmonies that were instantly recognisable; Robin's clear vibrato lead was a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the late 1970s and 1980s. The brothers wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists.
Born in the Isle of Man to English parents, the Gibb brothers lived their first few years in Chorlton, Manchester, England, then moved in the late 1950s to Redcliffe, Queensland, Australia, where they began their musical careers. After achieving their first chart success in Australia with "Spicks and Specks" (their 12th single), they returned to the United Kingdom in January 1967 where producer Robert Stigwood began promoting them to a worldwide audience.

Behind shadows, behind fingers
I'm hiding my true passion
To be, to be alone
In my garden,
in its corners
I'm looking for the path of my thoughts in the dark
Open the gate, it's the rigth time
Let the wind makes a ring the trees
Let the shadows move on the ways
I'm entering the tomb of talesHere you find revived puppets
One of them is you
I'm coming to everyone like the trees and feelings
Here you find - maybe yourself
Behind shadows, behind fingers
I'm hiding my true passion
To be, to be alone
In my garden,
in its corners
I'm looking for the path of my thoughts in the dark
