There are songs that reach beyond time, carrying memories and voices that never fade. “I Started a Joke” is one of those songs, and during Barry Gibb’s Mythology Tour in 2014, it became more than a performance. With Robin’s voice woven in it felt like a moment where the past and present stood together on the same stage.
Barry sang with quiet strength, every word heavy with meaning. His voice held both the ache of loss and the comfort of love, as though each note was a conversation with his brother. When Robin’s part entered, the harmony turned the song into something deeper not just music, but a reunion. It was tender, fragile and unshakable all at once.

The audience could feel it. Some sat in silence with tears in their eyes, while others mouthed the lyrics softly, as if they, too were part of the memory. The song seemed to close the distance between artist and listener leaving a stillness in the room that felt sacred. One person whispered “It’s like the brothers are singing together again.”
From that place of remembrance, the Bee Gees’ music shows another side of love in “Secret Love.” Where “I Started a Joke” carries sorrow and reflection their song “Secret Love” moves with a playful rhythm and gentle spark. It shifts the mood like sunlight breaking through clouds showing how love can be lighthearted and full of joy.
