Robin Gibb – “Rings Around the Moon” and a Final Farewell
Robin Gibb’s funeral was more than a memorial—it was a moving symphony where music and memory intertwined to bid farewell to a timeless icon of world music. In part two of this special service, the hauntingly beautiful song “Rings Around the Moon” was played. Once hidden quietly on the B-side of the Alone single, the track now took center stage as a heartfelt goodbye to the legendary artist.
From the opening lines—“If you’re lonely in the black of night, if you call me, I’ll be there”—the melody and lyrics draw listeners into a transcendent space, where love and remembrance transcend time and distance. The song is a sincere tribute, a message of eternal love and gratitude, captured in touching lines like: “I can tell you that I love you, and my love will never die.”
Rings Around the Moon is more than just a song—it is a message of farewell, a gentle reminder of a bond that goes beyond life and death. As the music played during the service, it expressed not only the sorrow of loss but also hope—that the love and music Robin Gibb left behind would continue to shine, like rings around the moon—soft, eternal, and never fading.
With Rings Around the Moon, Robin Gibb didn’t just say goodbye. He left the world one final love song—a musical legacy that will live on forever in the hearts of his fans.
