Sobre el álbum
El tercer álbum internacional del grupo, Idea, muestra a unos Bee Gees en un estado de gracia creativo absoluto, expandiendo las fronteras de su pop barroco. En este disco de 1968, la banda combina de manera magistral baladas de una belleza sobrecogedora con incursiones en el rock psicodélico y el pop más enérgico. El trabajo presenta una increíble diversidad estilística, pero manteniendo siempre una coherencia gracias a sus inconfundibles armonías vocales.
El álbum incluye dos de sus canciones más queridas de su primera etapa: la emotiva "I've Gotta Get a Message to You" y la optimista "I Started a Joke". "Idea" fue otro éxito rotundo que los consolidó como una de las bandas más importantes e innovadoras del mundo. Es una de las cumbres de su periodo psicodélico, una colección de canciones perfectas que demuestra la desbordante imaginación de los hermanos Gibb.

- Down To Earth2:32
Letra
Hello there, Is there any air? Can you slow me down? Can you believe that what you see could never ever be so real somehow. Down to earth, my merry men. There's some help needed here and you're there. You can see if you stand on your chair. That there's millions and millions and millions and millions of people like Hello there, Do you really care? Have you time to learn? Could you believe that what you read one thousand pages couldn't tell you why. Down to earth, my merry men. There's some help needed here and you're there. You can see if you stand on your chair. That there's millions and millions and millions and millions of people like you . That there's millions and millions and millions and millions of people like you. - Such A Shame2:28
Letra
All that I hear doesnt feel right. Don't call me 'till you're all right. I listened and I heard but don't tell me. La de da... Once in a while he says good night. Will I care if sometimes he is right? What a shame, it's the same each day. La de da... Oh how I tried! I just sat and then I cried. Maybe I'm wrong or will I find out when I'm gone? There is so much fun in my leisure. Don't bother me, man, just stay there. If it's a sin, I'll convert me astray. La de da... Come be home with me, it's not a shame for you to see. Oh let it be and you'll miss reality. - I've Gotta Get A Message To You2:56
- Idea2:51
Letra
I been thinking sitting on a pole. I'm getting sick of doing what I'm told. Just me and the mirror and my brain. But that was when I got an idea. Came like a gun and shot in my ear. Don't you think it's time you got up and stood alone? Fifteen years I lay down on the ground. I couldn't feel any noise or hear any sound. Fifteen million years I spent down the line. But that was when I got an idea. Came like a gun and shot in my ear. Don't you think it's time you got up and stood alone? Get up and stand alone music That was when I got an idea. Came like a gun and shot in my ear. Don't you think it's time you got up and stood alone? Get up and stand alone. That's when I got an idea (repeat and fade out) - When The Swallows Fly2:32
Letra
I wander lonely as a cloud I keep my head above the crowd Ain't nobody else as big as me But I must remember friends What has to start just has to end Everybody's got a destiny And I know when the swallows flies Yes, I know, and the earth just dies Then I'll be told what I am The swallow and me I'll look after number one I'll forget the beggar's son Everybody's got to stay alive I'll keep walking amongst the clouds I'll keep my head above the crowd I'll watch them live, I'll watch them die And I know when the swallows flies Yes, I know, and the earth just dies Then I'll be told what I am The swallow and me Yes, I know when the swallows flies Yes, I know, and the earth just dies Yes, I know when the swallow flies Yes, I know, and the earth just dies - I Have Decided To Join The Airforce2:11
- I Started A Joke3:08
Letra
I started a joke Which started the whole world crying But I didn't see That the joke was on me I started to cry Which started the whole world laughing Oh, if I'd only seen That the joke was on me I looked at the skies Running my hands over my eyes And I fell out of bed Hurting my head from things that I'd said 'Till I finally died Which started the whole world living Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me I looked up at the skies Running my hands Over my eyes And I fell out of bed Hurting my head from things that I'd said 'Till I finally died Which started the whole world living Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me Oh, no! That the joke was on me Oh - Kilburn Towers2:19
Letra
I am a bird; watch me go drifting by With my feathers of power I laugh as the hours go slowly by That could mean ev'rything I am a street watching the people walk As I listen their conversations glisten as they start to talk Then I hear ev'rything Little white jug, me and Kilburn Towers As we sit on the hill and we drink and we swill Till the early hours Then I am ev'rything Little white jug and me and Kilburn Towers That could mean ev'rything Little white jug, me and Kilburn Towers As we sit on the hill and we drink and we swill Till the early hours Then I am ev'rything Little white jug and me and Kilburn Towers - Swan Song2:58
Letra
This is my swan song. Whatever I do now, I do it well. This is my swan song. I fell in love with you I love you well. And if the Lord provides the music for the world around to sing, My love will build a castle in the air. This is my last chance, a chance to show the world that I am strong. This is my last dance. I'm walking off the floor where I belong. And if the Lord provides the music for the world around to sing, My love will build a castle in the air. (music) La..... And if the Lord provides the music for the world around to sing, My love will build a castle in the air. This is my swan song. I fell in love with you , I love you well, I love you well, I love you well.
