Ah...
I never fell in love so easily.
Where the four winds blow I carry on.
I'd like to take you where my spirit flies,
through the empty skies.
We go alone.
Never before
having flown
Faster than lightening 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 shangri-la,
neither here or far,
away from home.
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.
There I'd like to take you where my spirit flies
through the empty skies.
We go alone.
Never before
having flown.
I never fell in love so easily.
Where the four winds blow I carry on.
I'd like to take you where my spirit flies,
through the empty skies.
We go alone.
Never before
having flown
Faster than lightening 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 shangri-la,
neither here or far,
away from home.
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.
There I'd like to take you where my spirit flies
through the empty skies.
We go alone.
Never before
having flown.
Spirits (Having Flown) - Bee Gees
Released in 1976, 'Spirits (Having Flown)' stands as a defining track in the Bee Gees' evolution from disco to a more mature, soulful sound. Following the commercial peak of 'Stayin' Alive,' this recording marked a deliberate shift toward a softer, more introspective style, often referred to as 'disco rock.' The song features the brothers' signature harmonies but stripped down to a cleaner, acoustic-driven arrangement that emphasized emotional depth over danceable rhythms. It served as a bridge in their discography, showcasing their versatility and ability to adapt their signature sound for a changing musical landscape while maintaining their unique vocal identity.
