Spirits Having Flown Lyrics?
In Spirits Having Flown, I always heard the lyrics as “Be my lover, boyfriend” which is what Spotify says. But Google and genius lyrics says it’s “be my lover, friend.”
But I think the lyrics might be “Be my lover or friend.” I do think that Barry has a way of adding extra syllables, so maybe that’s it.
What do you guys think?
The Bee Gees in the 1980s (Decades)
I am so looking forward to reading " The Bee Gees in the 1980s by M. Hughes and G. Walters. The book will be released on Sept 26. Does anyone know whether this book will also be available on Audible? Total 272 pages. I can’t wait.
A Bee Gees Edit I made.
An Alternate version is on my TikTok (Retro_Lavender)
“Decades: The Bee Gees in the 1980s” Pre-Order Available
I promised I would share links when our new book was available for preorder:
UK and Europe: https://amzn.eu/d/06WtCPfD
US: https://a.co/d/0cAs3zDy
The page count on Amazon is wrong. This volume will be 375 pages. Just shy of 138,000 words. For some reason, our publisher has also listed a draft table of contents and images that have not yet been finalized (and are incorrect) on Amazon. Not sure why. We still have another round of final edits to make before it goes to print.
There is an inevitable gap between the UK and US release dates. Since our publisher is UK based, it takes extra time to catalog and ship volumes to suppliers overseas. 🤷‍♂️
We are in the process of scheduling some book talk events across the UK in September to coincide with the release and Barry’s 80th birthday. I’m glad to provide that information when it’s available for those who are interested. We don’t yet have anything planned for the US or Canada, but that may certainly change as we get closer.
Strange Comment from Barry
Upon rewatching the How Can You Mend a Broken Heart documentary again last night, something strange jumped out at me that didn't register the first time. At the beginning, when Barry is looking out onto the bay, he comments that all of his immediate family are gone, ALL of them, and he's the last one left. I know he has an older sister who is still alive, so why would he say that? While she may not be involved in show business, she still exists, for heaven's sake. Weird comment to make!
Bee Gees Elimination Game: Round 19
And So begins Week 19 of the Bee Gees Elimination Game. This includes all 22 of their Studio Albums, Their 3 Live Albums, The Soundtracks to Saturday Night Fever & Staying Alive, The 2 'Best Of' Albums and NOW, the Comp Albums that contain new tracks. I should add that the 2 'Idea' Albums are the US & the UK Presses.
This Challenge is weekly so you have a week to decide.
My vote goes to 'Still Waters’
[CUCUMBER CASTLE] HAS BEEN ELIMINATED
Tempted to revise my Deluxe editions
If you were here a few months ago, I made deluxe versions of all the Bee Gees Albums from CC - TIWICI. I’m tempted to rework them a bit following advice from the comments of the original posts. If I do so, I’m tempted to do the 2 Australian Albums aswell as there’s enough material from that period to deluxe-ify them. Lemme know your thoughts

Cool footage; it seems like the channel is posting Gibb stuff.
