Hi y'all,
I remembered watching a funny reel where a guy was pretending to sing More Than A Woman with the quieter parts acting as if there was a bee in the studio. I cant find it for the life of me and was wondering if any of you knew lol thanks
The singles (with b-sides) for Alone How To Fall In Love, Pt. 1 and For Whom The Bell Tolls have been added to Spotify.
My roommate was listening to a Bee Gees greatest hit CD a while back and one of the songs on it was called ”Holiday”. I initially assumed the song had something to do with potty training.
The chorus doesn’t actually have any words in it, it’s just the vocalist singing “dee dee dee dee dee dee, dee dee dee DEE-DEE dee dee”. But the melody for that part is very distinctive and catchy.
The first time I heard it, I thought they were singing “pee pee pee pee pee pee…” instead. In other words, I assumed the song was about a parent trying to potty-train a child!
That sort of made sense at first, since some of the lines in the verses are kind of cutesy* and could be interpreted that way. But then I learned they weren’t actually singing “pee“ and so my potty-training theory fell apart entirely….
*That was rather common back in the late 60s, I guess. Flower children, summer of love, bubblegum and all that.
Recently the I Could Not Love You More, single was released on Spotify, i primarily listen on Spotify, what other tracks haven't been on Spotify and where can i listen to these? Albums like Now Voyager and such.
Oddly, the tracks that were on the CD single (that was not released in North America) of “I Could Not Love You More” surfaced on Spotify suddenly. Streaming is weird. But the good news is that “Love Never Dies” and the medley from the 1997 Brit Awards are now available in good quality in a portable music format for the first time.
hey so i was just on spotify randomly and saw that there was a music video for how old are you, which i thought was weird as i swear id never seen it on spotify before, then yesterday i saw the music video for another lonely night in new york, is this because of something? is it just becaus they decided to only just add the videos? is this a part of a plan for robins music? i know they recently reissued the vinyl of how old are you as i purchased it so i dont know if its got something to do with that. Anyways if anyone knows why they only just decided to add it please lmk
I am fairly certain that his name is pronounced as “Morris” and the last name is “G” as in “Give”. But I just wanted to confirm.
Really getting into them but as individual BeeGees jump in and out singing and they use multi-track vocals, it's really difficult sometimes to tell which BeeGee(s) is actively singing. Robin is usually pretty easy to tell but when they all get into their falsettos, all bets seem to be off. I can usually pick out Barry when he is singing melody. Who is it that sings the low harmony though, is that Maurice? Specifically I'm talking about the 1975-1978 era and "Nights on Broadway" seems like a good one. Did they stick to the same formula? Didn't Maurice sing a couple leads?
"Nights on Broadway" clearly has a minimoog bass over guitar. Did Maurice play the keyboard too? Or was that Robin? It's really confusing as a new fan. I don't trust Wikipedia.
This entire album was written by the Gibbs. And they sang backing on it as well. But in Buried Treasure there is some fairly pronounced overlaying vocals that are too high to be Kenny Rogers. But it doesn’t sound like any of the brothers to me.
Does anybody know whose voice that part is?
Edit: I am specifically talking about the end of the song. Where you can still hear the brothers and Kenny Rogers, in addition to the mystery voice.
I had Two
1997 listening to their songs
2003 After Maurice passing saw The videos
What a crazy realization that This Is Where I Came In was 25 years ago now. I know this album gets a mixed reception from the fanbase but I personally loved it. I just wish the "era" lasted longer, especially since it was the last. They put the album out, release one single only, do a few TV appearances and perform two short concerts for A&E and Wango Tango and that's it. It's over for good. I wonder what it would've been like if Barry got his way and the Bee Gees ended after One Night Only.
I was listening to a podcast and the topic was about Power Ballads. The Bee Gees were not mentioned and it got me to thinking that they should have I think that Too Much Heaven could have qualified as such, with respect to singles that the Bee Gees released. Other songs that were not released that I thnk we power ballads, in my opinion, are Odessa, Sound of Love, Black Diamonds, Let There Be Love, The way It Was, The Only Love, and Swan Song.
Need to settle an argument.. Did Robin write Saved by the Bell entirely on his own or did all three write it and Robin took credit.. I am aware Maurice did backing on the demo.
