Sobre el álbum
El álbum Living Eyes de 1981 afrontó la tarea casi imposible de dar continuación al éxito estratosférico de la era disco. Con este trabajo los Bee Gees deciden dar un giro a su sonido, abandonando la música de baile para adentrarse en un pop adulto y un soft-rock muy pulido y sofisticado. El disco presenta una colección de canciones de una gran calidad melódica, con arreglos complejos y sus características armonías en primer plano.
Además, fue uno de los primeros álbumes en ser grabados digitalmente y editados en formato CD. Sin embargo, en un mundo que sufría una reacción "anti-disco", el álbum fue un fracaso comercial, pese a su indudable calidad. "Living Eyes" marcó el final de una era y el comienzo de un largo parón. Es una obra a redescubrir, el testamento de unos genios navegando a contracorriente de las modas.

Letra
Would you believe me if I told you your tomorrow is my yesterday But be alive I know that we will The world keeps on moving but I'm holdin' still In the beginning I was far away and praying for my destiny That would arrive The moment you're born For we will be here when the miracle comes Living eyes, when under the sun don't cry No war in my mind The state of my heart Living eyes, when out in the rain will fall The day I deny the face of my love We are of age, we are in time We are forever Right now when the power is mine I leave you heaven and the earth I leave you never And living to love is the reason we shine When I've been over I've been under I don't own a dream to analyze But living eyes you know that I do Believe in the soul and the magic of you Living eyes, when under the sun don't cry No war in my mind The state of my heart Living eyes, when out in the rain will fall The day I deny the face of my love We are of age, we are in time We are forever Right now when the power is mine I leave you heaven and the earth I leave you never And living to love is the reason we shine Living eyes, when under the sun don't cry No war in my mind The state of my heart Living eyes, when out in the rain will fall The day I deny the face of my love - He's A Liar4:00

Letra
Lonely people gathering there to be one Gonna be the last time wasted Gonna be seen to be gone Run a mile for the minute Gonna mind another day without you in it And you You promised me paradise Don't go back on your word No you You promised me paradise All my days of loving you under my skin Gonna be a wild wild world When nobody wants to give in Gonna call me on the hour Gonna mind if I don't hear it I would hate to be you You promised me paradise Don't go back on your word No you You promised me paradise Can you tell me if there's gonna be another reason to cry Will I be the last to know Unless we make another way of doing what we do We won't believe it anymore Will I be the one to cry Problems,problems haunting me Circle my head Gonna be a wild world Let me hide away under your bed Run a mile for the minute Gonna mind another day without you in it And you You promised me paradise Don't go back on your word No you You promised me paradise You promised me paradise (Ah ah ah) You promised me paradise - Don't Fall In Love With Me4:12

Letra
I memorise, I walk in line Carry my sacrifice for the sake of the millions All night you be the light on the water You be the pride and the sorrow Shower your love to me there Summer died before the rain Unify every soul together be lonely Ride on, follow me to the sunrise Save me the world that is broken Nothing but love to be there Soldiers, father and son We're soldiers, nowhere to run We fight or we die For what are we living for? Boys never cry Soldiers, mother and child We're soldiers, the meek and the mild We stand or we fall Never mind, dry your eyes You'll never be far away Forever beside me Hold out, I will be your tomorrow I will walk through the fire Nothing but love to be there Soldiers, father and son We're soldiers, nowhere to run We fight or we die For what are we living for? Boys never cry Soldiers, mother and child We're soldiers, the meek and the mild We stand or we fall I'm a little misunderstood Living all the daydreams and nightmares Don't do me no good I'm a little bit on the moon But when the word is you love me No moment is too soon All night give me the light on the water Give me the pride and the sorrow Shower your love to me there Soldiers, father and son We're soldiers, nowhere to run We fight or we die For what are we living for? Boys never cry Soldiers, mother and child We're soldiers, the meek and the mild We stand or we fall Soldiers, father and son We're soldiers, nowhere to run We fight or we die For what are we living for? Boys never cry Soldiers, mother and child We're soldiers, the meek and the mild We stand or we fall For what are we living for? Boys never cry Soldiers, father and son We're soldiers, nowhere to run We fight or we die For what are we living for? Boys never cry Soldiers, mother and child We're soldiers, the meek and the mild We stand or we fall For what are we living for? Boys never cry Soldiers, father and son We're soldiers - I Still Love You4:24
Letra
Close your eyes do what you wanna Baby, how can I wait much longer? Make it hard to believe it happened to me Morning comes too late tomorrow All you lose is the dream you borrow All you got is a soul that's born to be free And cries to the wind Waiting for you My dream will find you someday I stand beside my vision of you And have you loving me I still love you (Ah) I still love you (Ah) Though you're my imagination You be there when we find salvation Only then will there be no reason to hide Stormy night out in the heaven I believe in the true forever There's a bright new star when somebody dies I cry to the wind Waiting for you Sweet love returning someday The day you learn love happened to you You will be here with me I still love you (Ah) I still love you (Ah) I'll be waiting for you Sweet love returning someday The day you learn love happened to you You will be here with me I still love you (Ah) I still love you (Ah) I still - Wildflower4:23
Letra
Wildflower Sacrifice everything in a wonderland that you know It's crazy that I'm clear out of my mind A wonderful place to be Wildflower Sweet as the morning light If I blink an eye will you go I'm starting to care much more then I dare A wonderful thing to see And what do we know First say you love me And then say you leave me But we never say goodbye God you're an angel But even an angel must choose Someone will hurt you and when you stop running There's only this love of mine Wildflower Sacrifice everything in a wonderland that you know If older is wise One look in your eyes I'm younger then I should be And only time Waiting for you To grow First say you love me and then say you'll leave me But we never say goodbye God you're an angel But even an angel must choose Someone will hurt you and when you stop running There's only this love of mine - Nothing Could Be Good4:09
Letra
Baby, when there's only one embrace One is just enough for two When do I learn young fingers get burned? Never, my love Aah And when everyone has been a friend Windy day we never knew Now nothing can stand the way it was planned No, baby Nothing could be good as Nothing could be good as loving you Even though you're far away Your movie plays in my mind Your world is what you see Let it be me And I can make you warm at night But I need to be sure you got love enough to know. Aah, never, never And when every cloud has lost its glow Raining on my avenue When do I hide that nothing inside? When, baby Nothing could be good as Nothing could be good as loving you Even though you're far way, your movie plays in my mind Your world is what you see Let it be me And I can make you warm at night But I need to be sure you got love enough to know Aah, oh, never, never And when everyone has gone away Sing to the almighty if it's what you need to do Oh, the world is true And, baby, nothing could be good as Nothing could be good as loving you As loving you, love, love As loving you, love, love... - Cryin' Every Day4:01

Be who you are Don't ever change The world was made to measure for your smile So smile Those crazy dreams we threw, we threw away I never been alone with you I never could They say That love will find a way And love will never be set free I won't ever let you see You could not understand You never will Be who you are I bless I bless your name And all that summer madness caused the rain And we.. we The glory that we made My love will grace the halls of time A love that never can be mine You could not love me then I love you still Be who you are Seize life and find a way And I will be that shadow loving who you are Be who you are We were
