You're looking at the Bee Gees right now.
death however organism people realize
You realize that however much you don't think about death - or think that's for other people - you're just an organism living from day to day. I'm just grateful I'm here.
bee came car demos feeling flooding gees heard learn playing radio suddenly terms
I was in the car on my way to London, and Radio 2 was doing the Bee Gees story. They started playing the demos we'd made, then I heard Maurice talking. Suddenly that feeling of helplessness and non-acceptance came flooding back. I don't think you can ever come to terms with something like this. But you can learn to live with it.
anyone bee chords few history inspire keyboard lose lost music notes
He could play a few chords on a keyboard and inspire a whole song. I don't think anyone could play a few notes as magically as Maurice could. Maurice is a part of the history of the Bee Gees, so the music will always have Maurice in it. We've lost Maurice, but we'll never lose his inspiration.

I refuse to believe my brother is dead.
accepted activity came close english-musician utterly wake
I hadn't accepted he was seriously ill. The idea that someone so close to you couldn't wake up was utterly incomprehensible. Then the doctor came in... Maurice had no brain left. There wasn't any activity at all.
accept alive imagine pretend somewhere
I can't accept that he's dead. I just imagine he's alive somewhere else. Pretend is the right word. Pretend is where I'm at.

I couldn't stay there. I still find Miami very hard, because from my dock I can see the hospital. I can't stand there and look at it.

I left on the Saturday morning. The doctors were saying there was still a chance that they'd get him back. You hope against hope that they're right.
conscious crucial death fact rather
The illness, and the untimely death of my brothers, has made me conscious of the fact that - rather than just think about it - it's crucial that you do today what you want to do.

I don't like rock opera with back beats.

I don't know what 'home' or 'abroad' is any more.
birthday beautiful loss
You know, we'd just had a birthday, he was... you know, he still had a future out of him, and all I can is he was just one of the most beautiful people in the world... a very gifted man, and it's a loss to the world, not just for us.
kissing giving miracle
We said we'd fly the flag without him and carry on. I didn't give him a kiss because I still hadn't accepted what was happening. I was hoping that some miracle was going to happen. Of course, it didn't. I wish I had kissed him now.
