When Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb wrote this song, it was originally intended to be recorded by The Seekers, but they did not record it. The Seekers finally recorded it after Maurice Gibb's death in 2003, as a tribute to him.
When the Bee Gees wrote the song, they had never been to Massachusetts.[1] The group simply loved the word. The song was written on a boat near the Statue of Liberty.
For Maurice Gibb, the song had a painful memory attached. Shortly after it was recorded, Beatles manager Brian Epstein told him that it was beautiful and would be the hit of the summer. These proved to be Epstein's last words to Maurice; Epstein died a few days later.
