The Bee Gees’ biggest 90s hit sums up the pros and cons of their output during the decade. On the one hand, it’s an exceptionally high-quality song, the product of master craftsmen at work. On the other, the production is slick to the point of seeming faintly anodyne.
The sound of a band still reeling from the 1979 disco backlash – one variant on the DiscoSucks T-shirt also featured the phrase “Kill the Bee Gees” – the album Living Eyes is all over the place. But Wildflower is a moment of genuine magic in the shape of understated, folky soft rock.
Written by and featuring a rare lead vocal from Maurice Gibb, the title track of their 1971 album is audibly indebted to the oeuvre of John Lennon, but none the worse for that. The descending melody is sulkily beautiful; the chorus soars. Oasis should have covered it.
Lurking on the B-side of Tragedy – or at the very end of Spirits Having Flown – Until is among the Bee Gees’ most underrated tracks. It’s a brief waft of delicate, beatless, synthesiser-backed misery that leaves the listener hanging, uncertain what happened to destroy the youthful romance it initially depicts.
After a run of glossily professional 90s albums, This Is Where I Came In seemed to hark back to the Bee Gees’ 60s work while also experimenting. It was their best record in years, its willingness to push the boundaries summed up by She Keeps on Coming, which strongly suggests they had been listening to Talking Heads.
A scurrilous rumour suggested that the Bee Gees’ first UK hit was secretly the work of the Beatles. You can see why: the northern accents, the richness of the tune. But the Beatles never recorded anything this bleak, inspired equally by the Aberfan disaster and a power cut that left the Gibb brothers harmonising in the dark.
The No 1 singles of 1967 usually fit one of two categories: turned-on psychedelia, or the MOR reaction against it. But Massachusetts sat somewhere in the middle. Soft and straightforward by Bee Gees ballad standards, the lyrics nevertheless dealt with a hippy hitching to San Francisco but getting no further than New England.
The title of the album To Whom it May Concern underlines its unfocused contents, but just occasionally the Bee Gees’ increasing confusion about their purpose led them to try something completely off-beam. Sweet Song of Summer’s eerie analogue synth backing and ominous mood is a haunting anomaly in their catalogue.
Subsequently covered by Nina Simone, I Can’t See Nobody – originally the B-side of New York Mining Disaster 1941 – introduced audiences outside Australia to the extraordinary voice of Robin Gibb, which even his mother said made her “go cold”. Singing lead, he sounds as if he is about to burst into tears.
It’s sometimes hard to convey to those who know only the hits how weird the Bee Gees’ late 60s albums can be. Quick fix: play them Odessa’s title track, seven and a half ever-shifting minutes involving harp, strings, heartbreak, the saga of an 1899 shipwreck and a burst of Baa Baa Black Sheep. Inexplicable, but amazing.
