Spirits (Having Flown)

About Spirits (Having Flown)

"Spirits (Having Flown)" is a song by the Bee Gees which was originally released on the 1979 album Spirits Having Flown. Though not issued as a single in conjunction with the parent album, it was released in the UK to promote the compilation Bee Gees Greatest, which was released in December 1979. Its B-side was a 1975 song "Wind of Change" from the group's Main Course. The song itself is a Caribbean flavored R&B track sung by Barry in natural voice during the verses and joined by Robin and Maurice on the chorus which is sung in falsetto. The count-in (1, 2, 3, 4) heard on the album version was omitted from the single version and on the album Bee Gees Greatest. Flute work for the track was provided by Herbie Mann. The single peaked at No. 16 in the UK, and would be the last Top 40 hit the band had in the UK for almost eight years. more »

I never fell in love so easily
Where the four winds blow I carry on
I'd like to take you where my spirit flys
Through the empty skys

We go alone never before having flown
Faster than lightning is this heart of mine
In the face of time I carry on
I'd like to take you where my rainbow ends

Be my lover friend
We go alone never before having flown

I am your hurricane
Your fire in the sun
How long must I live in the air
You are my paradise

My angel on the run
How long must I wait
It's the dawn of the feeling
That starts from the moment you're there

You'll never know what you have done for me
You broke all those rules I live upon
I'd like to take you to my shangrila
Neither here or far away from home

Never before having flown
There I'd like to take you where my spirit flys
Through the empty skys we go alone
Never before having flown

Bee Gees

The Bee Gees were a musical group founded in 1958. The group's line-up consisted of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were successful for most of their decades of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a pop act in the late 1960s/early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the late 1970s. The group sang three-part tight harmonies that were instantly recognisable; Robin's clear vibrato lead was a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the late 1970s and 1980s. The brothers wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists. more »
