Bee Gees - Live 2009 (Promo-The Mail)(mp3 320kbs)ICM369 _______________________________________________________ In his own words: Robin Gibbs track-by-track guide. JIVE TALKIN ___________ We had already thought up the title for this song, but it wasnt until Barry, Maurice and I drove from Biscayne Bay to Miami that we realised what the tune was going to be.We had the idea as we passed over a bridge. Some tar noises made a rhythmic sound on the wheels of our car, which created the feel to the type of song we wanted to write, we finished the song at the Criteria studios that day. It is an R & B track that got to number one in the US and also did very well in the black charts there, we were one of the first white groups to explore that territory. WORDS _____ This was actually written for Cliff Richard, but he never got round to recording it as he wasnt making an album at the time, we were – and dont like wasting songs – so we sung it instead, Elvis Presley had a number one with a cover version of it, as did Boyzone,we never met Elvis but Boyzone’s lead singer Ronan Keating is a friend of ours. IVE GOTTA GET A MESSAGE TO YOU ______________________________ This is about a prisoner on Death Row who only has a few hours to live. He wants the prison chaplain to pass on a final message to his wife, theres a certain urgency about it,myself and Barry wrote it. Its a bit like writing a script. Sometimes you can sit there for three hours with your guitar and nothing will happen. Then in the last ten minutes something will spark. TO LOVE SOMEBODY ________________ We originally wrote this song for Otis Redding while we were staying at the St Regis hotel in New York. Then, of course, he died in a plane crash. We were huge admirers of his, so we decided to record it ourselves. It is one of our most covered songs. I like our version the best, but then I’m biased. I think Nina Simone’s cover is fantastic too. I STARTED A JOKE ________________ This is a very spiritual song, the listeners have to interpret it themselves – trying to explain it would detract from the song. It got to number five in the US, but it wasn’t released in the UK as a single. Faith no More covered it as their final single as a band. NIGHTS ON BROADWAY __________________ This was produced by Arif Mardin, it was a huge hit for us in the States and has been covered a heck of a lot since then, it was the first song Barry introduced his famous falsetto vocals on, which became an important part of our sound for many years. Like a lot of artists, such as McCartney and Prince, we were experimenting. It was important to us as songwriters as well, we didn’t want to stick to a certain formula. HOW CAN YOU MEND A BROKEN HEART _______________________________ This was our second number one in the States after a two year split, the first number one was Lonely Days, and we wrote both singles in the same afternoon in our basement flat in Addison Road in Kensington, it was a happy time – any time we reunite is happy. Barry and I dont really speak about the split, we focus on being back together because thats what were all about. RUN TO ME _________ We wrote this is at our manager Robert Stigwoods house in Beverly Hills, he was a great visionary and championed our beliefs and chemistry as brothers, if he hadnt got in touch with us when we arrived back in the UK from Australia our career could have gone a different way entirely, we are always in and out of Los Angeles. NEW YORK MINING DISASTER 1941 _____________________________ We recorded this at Londons IBC studio because it was dark and emulated a mining shaft. The result was a very lonely sound, it was our first UK and US single after meeting Robert Stigwood and our first hit on both sides of the Atlantic, We had been making records in Australia but this was a notch up, it was a great buzz. MASSACHUSETTS _____________ This was a bittersweet victory, the day it went to number one it was Bonfire Night and I was in the Hithergreen Rail Crash in Lewisham, Forty-nine people died and it was one of Britains worst rail disasters, luckily I didnt get injured. I remember sitting at the side of the carriage, watching the rain pour down, fireworks go off and blue lights of the ambulances whirring, it was like something out of a Spielberg film. I thought, at least there is one consolation, we have our first UK number one. CLOSER THAN CLOSE _________________ This is very special to us, as Maurice sings the main vocals, it is taken from the One Night Only album and was never released as a single, we performed it at the Brit Awards in 1997, when we won a Lifetime Achievement Award. This is a dedication to him. Although we lost Maurice in 2003 his legacy lives on in our music. Turn on the radio, you hear the song and hes there. HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE _____________________ This was the first of six consecutive number ones in the States. Nobody had ever done that before and very few people have done it since, at one stage there were around seven of our songs – which we had either sung or written for other people – in the US Billboard top ten. It doesn’t get much better than that. If you accomplish half of what we have youre happy. __________ 1) Jive Talkin 2) Nights on Broadway 3) Ive Gotta Get A Message To You 4) To Love Somebody 5) Words 6) I Started A Joke 7) How Can You Mend A Broken Heart 8) Run To Me/World 9) New York Mining Disaster 10) Massachusetts 11) Closer Than Close 12) How Deep Is Your Love ___________ Format : MPEG Audio File size : 10.0 MiB Duration : 4mn 22s Overall bit rate : 320 Kbps Album : Bee Gees Greatest Hits - Mail On Sunday Track name : Jive Talkin' Track name/Position : 1 Performer : Bee Gees Writing library : LAME3.98.2 Audio Format : MPEG Audio Format version : Version 1 Format profile : Layer 3 Format_Settings_Mode : Joint stereo Duration : 4mn 22s Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 320 Kbps Channel(s) : 2 channels Sampling rate : 44.1 KHz Resolution : 16 bits Stream size : 10.0 MiB (100%) Writing library : LAME3.98.2 __________ Mp3 Ripped:320 Enjoy:D
