Sobre el álbum
El álbum Still Waters de 1997 presenta a unos Bee Gees en su faceta de maestros del R&B contemporáneo y la balada adulta. En este trabajo, el trío colabora con algunos de los productores más importantes del momento, como David Foster o Arif Mardin, para crear un sonido pulido, sofisticado y muy en sintonía con la música de los noventa. De esta manera, el disco es una colección impecable de canciones que destacan por sus cuidadas armonías vocales y su elegancia.
El álbum fue un éxito comercial masivo en todo el mundo, gracias en gran medida al single "Alone", que los devolvió a la primera línea de la actualidad musical. "Still Waters" demostró que, tras décadas de carrera, el talento de los hermanos Gibb para componer hits seguía siendo inigualable. Es una de las obras cumbres de su última etapa, un trabajo que reafirmó su estatus de leyendas vivas de la música pop.

Letra
I was a midnight rider on a cloud of smoke I could make a woman hang on every single stroke I was an iron man I had a master plan But I was alone I could hear you breathing With a sigh of the wind I remember how your body started trembling Oh, what a night it's been And for the state I'm in I'm still alone And all the wonders made for the earth And all the hearts in all creation Somehow, I always end up alone Always end up alone So I play (sha la), I'll wait (I'll wait) 'Cause you know that love takes time (Living loves between the line) We came (sha la), so far (so far) Just the beat of a lonely heart And it's mine I don't want to be alone Well, since I got no message on your answer phone And since your busy every minute I just stay at home I make believe you care I feel you everywhere But I'm still alone I'm on a wheel of fortune with a twist of fate 'Cause I know it isn't heaven, is it love or hate Am I the subject of the pain Am I the stranger in the rain I am alone And is there glory there to behold Maybe it's my imagination Another story there to be told So I play (sha la), I'll wait (the time) And I pray it's not too late (this is) We came (sha la), so far (so far) Just the beat of a lonely heart And it's mine I don't want to be alone And all the wonders made for the earth And all the hearts in all creation Another story there to be told So I play (sha la), I'll wait (I'll wait) And I pray it's not too late (Living loves between the line) We came (sha la), so far (so far) Just the beat of a lonely heart And it's mine I don't want to be alone Gone, but not out of sight I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home Face the heat of the night The one that you love's got a heart that's made of stone Shine and search for the light And sooner or later you'll be cruising on your ocean And clean out of sight I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home Face the heat of the night The one that you love's got a heart that's made of stone Shine you search for the light And sooner or later you'll be cruising on your ocean (I don't want to be alone) Shine, and clean out of sight I'm caught in the rain - I Surrender4:18
Letra
From the highest tower, I will call you home It's the same old story, love will find it's own You come to me, conspiracy of the night The heart that you want just happens to be mine Thieves in the dark, you ought to be locked in chains But you wind up on my side, and what will be will be That you wear a disguise, the epitome of deceit The face of a friend invisible on the street If you're battling to be mine, I'm victorious in defeat And I surrender, I surrender, I surrender Anybody want me, anyone know my name Do it in a lifetime, you be dust and the soul survives Evens up the score From the highest tower, I will call you home It's the same old story, love will find it's own And I surrender Take me for all time Love that lasts forever I surrender We are elite, prisoners of the night We fight to the finish and savour the delights It's your body that got me beat, and I'm crumbling at your feet I surrender, I surrender, I surrender I will walk through fire, keep you safe and sound (Oh no!) In the final hour, turn my life around And I surrender, take me for all time You are the air that I breathe (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) I will walk through fire Keep you safe and sound In the final hour (Turn my life around) (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) this is my life story I've been lost and found (Oh, no!) In the final hour, turn my life around (Oh, no!) And I surrender, I surrender Take me for all time And I surrender Love as warm as wine And I surrender Take me for all time And I surrender Love as warm as wine And I surrender Take me for all time And I surrender Love as warm as wine - I Could Not Love You More3:43
Letra
Now that we're alone No more hide and seek You are the highest dream to me And as you softly sleep Then I can tell you what it means Locked in my arms like lovers lie I will not let you slip away Is this the summer of them all Is this my night of nights That you came to stay Here you are, owner of my heart Just the way that love should be And there is something I must say to you If you promise to believe That it's you I'm living for And, I could not love you more Seasons may come and seasons go But these are the truest words I know Face to face, eye to eye This is the summer of our lives One love that cannot die Here you are, owner of my soul Never let you say goodbye And there is something I must say to you We leave the world outside And you have come to me at last, we start Open up your heart Let my deepest love inside I'm only doing what I have to do If you promise to believe That I could not love you more Here you are (you are) Owner of my heart Just the way that love should be And there is something I must say to you We leave the world outside And you have come to me at last (at last) We start Open up your heart Let my deepest love inside I'm only doing what I have to do If you promise to believe That it's you I'm living for And, I could not love you more - Still Waters Run Deep4:08
Letra
Well I admit I've been a fool sometimes I believe I may be losing you It's now or never, we talk before a tear is shed Under your spell and over my head You took me in your arms and you told me We don't need to worry, but you You never say your sorry Keep this love alive for us, it's all I feel How can we survive if we change what is real Still waters run deep Just remember when we lie to each other No one wins and losers weep Reflection will show This connection we can lean on each other This is all we need to know I see the angel and the devil in your heart I confess, either one is my addiction And where you're leading me I don't have the will to fight Out of the darkness and into the light But living in your arms, I can take it Please don't make me shiver You know together we deliver Let the gods decide who finds the sweetest thrill Who can justify the truth? I love you still Don't let him get too close to you You've got a stranger on your mind The dream is free I know I'm only human if I cry Or maybe we should kiss and say goodbye - My Lover's Prayer4:00
- With My Eyes Closed4:19
Letra
Say you never send me away. Making me a memory and telling me to find me a life change, there's no changing, what cannot be changed. And you are witness to a silent conversation. Nothing but the black of night. No-one ever takes your place. Gotta let the pantomime play. Not to worry, my telepathy. I bring you into me ,there's be no separation. And I tell you I will climb inside your world, and at ythe dawn of history I was born to find this girl (ah). And I can see you with my eyes closed. I can feel you when you're near me. Just the knowing that you hear me, could be, you could measure my love. I can touch you with my hands tied (words of love). It don't take no extra feeling (you won't believe). Let your imagination, just run (take a hand). You can measure my love. And they tell you they can stop those tears you cry. And we can ride that storm together, and all the love that lasts forever, and forever and forever. Cling to the vine and the vine never breaks. It's a message from a ship to shore. For the soul and the sacrifice, pain. There's no fury like a woman scorned. We could be victims of a lethal combination. I t's the hour. It's the sword that hides the stone. And one of us holds the power there to forge our hearts together, here forever and forever. And I can feel you with my eyes closed (words of love). I can feel you when you're near me (where you are). Just the knowing that you hear me, could be, (I'll survive), you could measure my love. I can touch you with my hands tied (words of love). It don't take no extra feeling (you won't believe). Let your imagination, just run (I'll survive). You can measure my love (my love)... - Irresistible Force4:35
Letra
In the name of love and life Turn your face to the lonely night But you're not alone when she calls you home And this your world is on the edge As good as lost but you know the way Through the faceless town And she pulls me down I know the place and the time (of our lives) So long ago And all through the years (never dies) All things must pass Irresistible force meets an immovable object and Human animal madness and blood starts to flow Invisible fingers and indescribable pleasure I get to find my personal god I get to find my personal god God of love, god of gold Ring of fire in the days of old It's what I'm living for and love's the only law So answer Mayday, S.O.S. Search me North, East, South, or West It's all I miss, just the one last kiss This is goodbye to the days (of our lives) My fair-weather friend I feel your sorrow and tears (they are mine) I share to the end Irresistible force meets an immovable object and Human animal magic How far can you go? The rolling of thunder and, you decide what you're after I get to find my personal god I get to find my personal god I surrender All or nothing You must spread your wings and fly I know the place and the time (of our lives) My fair-weather friend I feel your sorrow and tears (they are mine) We share to the end When an irresistible force meets an immovable object Human animal madness and blood starts to flow there's bound to be heartbreak You make it the hard way I surrender All or nothing You must spread your wings and fly - Closer Than Close4:34
Letra
She'll read your mind She's smart as a whip She suck you dry But look at how much I drip At the point of ecstasy I write a symphony of poetry in motion And leavin' me there to die I tell myself Let no one take her place To confide in someone And look at how much I paid I want you next to me Call it telepathy We drifted into vision And look at how much we see Ah...Ah... I just wanna get closer than close to you I know that one way or the other Any test of my faith will do And lovers fall for lover's friends We make each other cry Living in each other lives And tryin' to make the fantasy come true But I just wanna get closer than close to you Baby I just wanna get closer than close to you Your soul is naked It tells you what you want I read your letter And look at how close I´ve come There more for us to see In this philosophy We both end up in heaven And look at how close we'd be Ah...Ah... I just wanna get closer than close to you I know that one way or the other Any test of my faith will do I give my heart to you and you break I give my final breath Nothing last forever see We can turn eternity into I just wanna get closer than close to you In the moment you discover What the best of my love can do And lovers fall for lover's friends We make each other cry Living in each other lives And tryin' to make the fantasy come true I just wanna get closer than close to you Baby I just wanna get closer than close to you I just wanna get closer than close to you In the moment you discover What the best of my love can do Baby I just wanna get closer than close to you I know that only way or the other Any test of my faith will do Baby I just wanna get closer than close to you - I Will5:08
Letra
Is this your voice I heard Speaking my name? I hang on every word Each letter that I write Every day, every night But I just can't live and learn (oh, oh) Talking to myself and believing I could live without you Living on the lies and believing That love would stay Listen to me please and I'm begging on My knees before you But you don't show the way No, you don't show the way He may change your world and Someday he may break your heart And you deserve no better If you love him, I will step aside I offer this to you So leave me as I love you still And if he don't keep you warm You know I will You know (oh, oh) So this is who you are And the rest of my life I dedicate to you (oh, oh) And I know that love can't wait There's a Moon and a Sun And a dream that sees me through (oh, oh, oh) A little bit of change and A little bit of my desire I was shaking all over and I didn't know what to say I'm the man in the middle and The middle man catches fire Baby go away, oh baby Go, baby, go away He became your hero somehow I become your clown And you deserve no better If you love him, I will step aside I offer this to you So leave me as I love you still And if he don't take your heart If he don't take your heart You know I will It ain't wise It ain't smart You say there's no doubt about it If you decide You got somebody else When I want you to myself I can't stop, I can't look I can't say no more about it But my love will go on Just as long as the river flows Suddenly someone is crying Who knows what tomorrow brings, so He may change your world and Someday he may break your heart And you deserve no better If you love him, I will step aside I offer this to you So leave me as I love you still (I love you still) And if he don't take your heart If he don't take your heart If he don't take your heart You know I will (oh, oh) And I will take it anyway It ain't wise It ain't smart You say there's no doubt about it If you decide you got somebody else When I want you to myself I can't stop, I can't look I can't say no more about it But my love will go on Just as long as the river flows - Obsessions4:43
Letra
It happened in the middle of the night When I thought I had control Didn't want to be the one to fight Didn't want to lose my soul I was up for something more Never thought I'd get it started Paralyzed, polarized, hung on every word I'm in love with the child inside I don't have a right to follow you Or have a license to get closer A love that won't be denied For you are something like I've never seen I'm a man whose heart is crying Just another one of my obsessions You don't want to be a special toy I never be the one to hurt you Like every other girl and boy Just another little indiscretion Another game that you want to try You can never be unfaithful If you gotta love somebody Ooh ooh Want to make your mountains high Want to take your valley low There's a moral to my story Let me in and close the door Until the morning light What I'd give to live inside you Make me wait We separate but only to return Whisper and I'll be there I don't want you to beg me to stop I just want to drown in your desire Love is for those who dare All the cream is rising to the top And it's the love you save from dying Ah Just another one of my obsessions Something I could never find It's the kind of love that makes your heart Feel obsessed with mine Any battle for the one possession Another game that you want to try You can never be unfaithful If you gotta love somebody Oooh Just another one of my obsessions You don't want to be a special toy I never be the one to hurt you Like every other girl and boy Just another little indiscretion Another game that you want to try You can never be unfaithful If you gotta love somebody Oooh Just another one of my obsessions - Miracles Happen4:12
Letra
Miracles happen, you know miracles happen. Miracles happen, you know miracles happen. If we just try we can put it back together, you and I. And all the bad is blown away. I never said goodbye. Is the writing on the wall that makes you see. And it's the saviour of my soul. And what I say that must be heard with love in every word. Close your eyes, don't let go, don't get lost in the falling snow. Always out of place alone, with someone you're not sure of. Broken wings don't arrive. It's a storm but you still survive. It's gonna take a miracle. So I go around believing you. I say good night, stay forever and nobody knows how much I pray for you at night. And miracles happen, You know miracles happen. And yesterday there was nothing in my life worth living for. You were there and I was born, the very strength to carry on a miracle has come. Hold on tight, call my name, don't get caught in the midnight rain. Part of me believes in you, you're someone I'm not sure of. Don't look down, I'll be there, like the wind in the cold night air. I can see a miracle. And through it all we rise and fall, tear it apart and stay forever. And I know where heaven is and somewhere in between miracles happen, you know miracles happen. Red, blue, black and white. True light shine on anyone. Two hearts make it right. And all that love can change. Close my eyes, don't let go. I'll be lost in the falling snow. Always out of place alone, with someone I'm not sure of. Don't look down, I'll be there like the wind in the cold night air. I can see a miracle. And through it all we rise and fall. We tear it apart and stay forever. And I know where heaven is and somewhere in between miracles happen. Hold on tight, call my name, don't get caught in the midnight rain. Part of me believes in you, you're someone I'm not sure of. Don't look down, I'll be there, like the wind in the cold night air. I can see a miracle. Close my eyes, don't let go. I'll be lost in the falling snow... - Smoke And Mirrors5:00
Letra
When I was a boy all the books I read I followed like a blind man to heed the words my father said. Those golden summers faded into night, words become a dream, the echoes of my childhood and where the path is winding. May God bless you, keep you safe from all harm. Oh, may I stand by you always. Time and motion. Hands touch, lips find a way to heaven on high. Watch the children play, the child becomes a man, and all the tangled webs we weave, you swear it as we live and breath. We stay together, death until you part. Winner takes the prize. The future's at your finger tips, right before your eyes. No more sorrow (smoke and mirrors). No more nights with no end. (I really learned a lot) I see my tomorrows (smoke and mirrors) . And nothing from nothing. And ashes to ashes, they say. All the more that you reach out the more that it runs away. Smoke and mirrors. Smoke and mirrors. (No more goodbyes.) That's all I ever got, smoke and mirrors. (No lies, you find your way there,) She show me what she's got, smoke and mirrors. (heaven on high.) May God bless you, keep you safe from all harm. Oh, may I stand by you always. Time and motion . (smoke and mirrors) Hands touch, (that's all I ever got) lips find a way to heaven on high (smoke and mirrors). No more sorrows (I really learned a lot, smoke and mirrors) No more nights with no end. (She show me what she's got, smoke and mirrors) I rise or I fall. No more goodbyes. (She really makes me hot, smoke and mirrors) No lies, you find a way there, heaven on high.
