"Massachusetts" is a song by the Bee Gees, released in 1967. Written by Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb. Robin Gibb sang lead vocals on this song and it would become one of his staple songs to perform during concerts on both Bee Gees and his solo concerts. It later appeared on their 1968 album, Horizontal.
The song was written in the Regis Hotel, New York City during a tour of the United States. The song was intended as an antithesis to flower power anthems of the time such as "Let's Go to San Francisco" and "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)" in that the protagonist had been to San Francisco to join the hippies but was now homesick. The idea of the lights having gone out in Massachusetts was to suggest that everyone had gone to San Francisco.
It is the first album to not feature long time lead guitarist Neil Boshart and first to include new guitarist Paul-Marc Rousseau.

Massachusetts Animal Interest Coalition
Watch and hear our clients describe their experience of working and winning with Totten Communications.
In 2000, a coalition of animal rights extremists and anti-gambling activists sponsored a ballot initiative that would outlaw greyhound racing in the Bay State. In August, down 35 points in a do or die election, the greyhound tracks trusted Totten Communications to win the campaign and save their industry. When the bell sounded in this emotionally charged slugfest the tracks were still in business.

Once I had my heroes Once I had my dreams But all of that is changed now The truth begins again The truth is not that comfortable, no Mother taught us patience The virtues of restraint Father taught us boundaries The knowledge we must go I'm trying to protect my unity That's when I reach for my revolver That's when it all gets blown away That's when I reach for my revolver The spirit passes by this way A friend of mine once told me His one and only aim To build a giant castle And in it sign his name Sign it with complete community That's when I reach for my revolver That's when it all gets blown away That's when I reach for my revolver The spirit passes by this way Now that the sky is empty And that is nothing new Instead they look upon us When they tell me That we're nothing I say! That's when I reach for my revolver That's when it all gets blown away That's when I reach for my revolver The spirit passes by this way That's when I reach for my revolver That's when it all gets blown away That's when I reach for my revolver The spirit passes by this way
