Words

Words was composed by brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb, members of the Bee Gees. It was inspired by the frequent arguments between Barry and his then-girlfriend, reflecting on how words can be powerful to both hurt and heal. Released in 1968, it became one of the bands biggest hits and a symbol of the 60s.
