Diane Shepherd Crossover Lyric Soprano's video: Words

The song was written by Barry Gibb when he was staying at Robert Stigwood's (the Bee Gees' manager) place on Adams Row. Brother Robin explained 'Words' reflects a mood, It was written after an argument. Barry had been arguing with someone, I had been arguing with someone, and happened to be in the same mood.The arguments were about absolutely nothing. They were just words. That is what the song is all about; words can make you happy or words can make you sad. Barry said in 1996 on the VH1 Storytellers television show that it was written Robert Stigwood. It reached No. 1 in Germany, Canada, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. "Words" was the Bee Gees third UK top 10 hit, reaching number 8, and in a UK television special on ITV in December 2011 it was voted fourth in "The Nation's Favourite Bee Gees Song".[1] The song has been recorded by many other artists, including hit versions by Rita Coolidge in 1978 and Boyzone in 1996. This was Boyzone's fifth single and their first number one hit in the UK.
