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.

There are two different memories, Robin remembers us doing it in a boat going around New York City. And I remember us checking in at the St. Regis with Robert, going to the suite, and while the bags were being brought in we were so high on being in New York, that’s how ‘Massachusetts’ began. I think we were strumming basically the whole thing, and then I think we went on a boat round New York. I don’t know if we finished it, but I think that’s where the memories collide. Everybody wrote it.

All three of us were there when the song was born. The song was originally intended for The Seekers. Upon arriving in London from Australia following in the path of the Seekers, who had arrived several years earlier the Bee Gees had been unsuccessful in getting the song to the group, so they recorded it themselves. During a chance meeting in London between the Seekers’ lead singer Judith Durham and Maurice Gibb , Durham learned that “Massachusetts” was originally intended for her group and in the Seekers recorded the song as a tribute to Maurice following his death earlier that year.

The Bee Gees had never actually been to Massachusetts when they recorded the song; they just liked the sound of the name as it was unusual, containing a lot of S’s. Sometimes we would sing what we would [imagine] the strings doing. But in this case he did that himself, and I thought it was great. Before the release of this song, Australians Colin Petersen and Vince Melouney were facing deportation, and it appeared that they might have to leave the band as a result.

On 12 August, British fans staged a protest on behalf of the musicians at the cottage of Prime Minister Harold Wilson. Three days later Bee Gees fan Deirdre Meehan chained and handcuffed herself to Buckingham Palace to protest the possible deportation. Ultimately, the musicians were allowed to stay.

On 27 August , Beatles ‘ manager Brian Epstein told Maurice Gibb that “‘Massachusetts’ is a great song that would be very successful. In America, Atco Records delayed it to release ” Holiday “. The first song to be played was ” Flowers in the Rain ” by The Move. Cash Box said that it is “a splendidly arranged ballad somewhat in the Scott McKenzie bag.
