Sobre el álbum
Un himno imperecedero de la era disco y una pieza clave en la discografía de Bee Gees es la canción "Tragedy". Incluida en el álbum "Spirits Having Flown", este tema representa a la perfección el sonido del grupo en la cima del mundo: un disco-funk de alta energía, con una línea de bajo trepidante, arreglos de viento explosivos y el icónico falsete de Barry Gibb. La canción se convirtió en un éxito número uno en todo el planeta. Su reconocible ritmo y su estribillo épico la hacen sonar vibrante aún hoy.
La letra, que habla de desamor, crea un fascinante contraste con la euforia de la música, una dualidad muy característica del grupo. "Tragedy" es un ejemplo perfecto de su genio para crear pop inteligente y bailable. Esta canción no es solo uno de sus mayores éxitos; es la quintaesencia del sonido de una época y un clásico inmortal de la música de baile.

- Run To Me
Letra
If ever you've got rain in your heart Someone has hurt you and torn you apart Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me? And let it be like they said it would be Me loving you girl, and you loving me Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me? Run to me whenever you're lonely to love me Run to me if you need a shoulder Now and then, you need someone older So darling, you run to me And when you're out in the cold No one beside you and no one to hold Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me? And when you've got nothing to lose Nothing to pay for and nothing to choose Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me? Run to me whenever you're lonely to love me Run to me if you need a shoulder Now and then you need someone older So darling, you run to me Run to me whenever you're lonely to love me Run to me if you need a shoulder Now and then you need someone older So darling, you run to me Run to me whenever you're lonely to love me Run to me if you need a shoulder Now and then you need someone older... - We Lost The Road
Letra
We must have lost the road Don't you think it's getting late? Maybe if it's colder We can stop and wait We must have lost the words All the little things we said And now the world is frozen Only you in my head Aah, we lost the road Aah, we lost the road Aah, we lost the road Aah, we lost the road We must have lost the tune Where did I step out of line? I'll search for the melody That calls you mine Aah, we lost the road Aah, we lost the road Aah, we lost the road Aah, we lost the road Aah, we lost the road (we lost the road, we lost the road, yeah) Aah, we lost the road (ah, we lost, yeah, yeah) Aah, we lost the road (we lost the road, we lost the road, oh, yeah) Ah, we lost the road (we lost the road,don't you know we lost the road) Aah, we lost the road - Never Been Alone
Letra
I've never been alone And I've only seen the sky Still I know the reason why I've been thinking it over I've never climbed a tree But that's natural for me And you don't know my name So I'm thinking it over And every day I'm learning The things that are concerning you and I And if you were beside me You'd know what's inside me So tell me why Give me inspiration to clear the situation We've known too long And if we end up crying Then one of us is lying, so tell me Never rode a plane And I never will again So till then I'll drink the rain While I'm thinking it over And every day I'm learning The things that are concerning you and I And if you were beside me You'd know what's inside me So tell me why Give me inspiration to clear the situation We've known too long And if we end up crying Then one of us is lying, so tell me Never rode a plane And I never will again So till then I'll drink the rain While I'm thinking it over Yes, I'm thinking it over - Paper Mache, Cabbages And Kings

Letra
I held a party and nobody came Strangely I was upset Poured out a drink and then Birkworth approached saying "Have no regrets. Maybe your gentle friends had some delay. Don't try to take on the world" Made up my bed and decided to sleep Dreaming I was awake Maybe I drank an excess of my drink Nice clan, cordial crowd Birkworth suggested we sleep through the night I never knew him so well Ah..... - Please Don't Turn Out The Lights
- Sea Of Smiling Faces
Letra
Yesterday was history Who knows what there is gonna be When we meet again Will you smile and tell the world about me? Can there be no doubt about me, I was your friend As I gaze upon a sea of smiling faces Walk amongst the glow of moonlit places The look in your eyes, to see your smile Won't bring you back to me I remember things we planned The world would never understand But we found a way And the world of love you gave to me Each moment is a memory Whatever they say As I gaze upon a sea of smiling faces Walk amongst the glow of moonlit places The look in your eye, to see your smile Won't bring you back to me For the look in your eye, to see your smile Won't bring you back to me Yesterday was history Who knows what there is gonna be When me meet again Will you smile and tell the world about me? Can there be no doubt about me I was your friend As I gaze upon a sea of smiling faces Walk amongst the glow of moonlit places The look in your eye, to see your smile Won't bring you back to me For the look in your eye, to see your smile Won't bring you back to me - Bad Bad Dreams
Letra
I've got a notion to live in an ocean of bad bad dreams No consolation to mixed conversation in bad bad dreams You know we're all alike We can shout and scream and yell all night It's just a bad bad dream Feel like I'm crying, there's no use denying it's all been done For your information we still own the nation, the war's been won You know you're far too late Your only hangup is you hesitate It's just a bad bad dream Bad bad bad dream Bad bad bad dream Bad bad bad dream Bad bad bad dream I'm getting it to you so you get it through you and make your choice People start playing and back what you're saying in just one voice You know you're all insane, it doesn't matter how you play the game It's just a bad bad dream Bad bad bad dream Bad bad bad dream Bad bad bad dream Bad bad bad dream Bad bad bad dream - You Know It's For You
- Alive
Letra
Maybe you talk too high, man Maybe I talk too slow But you've got to live a little bit faster 'Cause you've got a little less time to go I ain't lost and I ain't searching But then you know me very well And I can't change the wind and make it blow the other way I'm a fool and I can tell That I'm alive and that's all That I can get up just as fast as I fall And I can walk and run but I'll never crawl And in the end it doesn't matter at all I don't know about the people that I read about in books And the kings and queens around my room with their quiet dirty looks I know I should be going somewhere, I just can't arrive There's a reason for believing that I've never been alive, alive I ain't lost and I ain't searching But then you know me very well And I can't change the world and make it go the other way I'm a fool and I can tell That I'm alive and that's all That I can get up just as fast as I fall And I can walk and run but I'll never crawl And in the end it doesn't matter at all I don't know about the people that I read about in books And the kings and queens around my room with their quiet dirty looks I know I should be going somewhere, I just can't arrive There's a reason for believing that I've never been alive I know I should be going somewhere I just can't arrive There's a reason for believing that I've never been alive, alive, alive - Road To Alaska
Letra
I'm on the road to Alaska, nowhere near Nebraska, but I'm sure if I asked her she'll know. I ain't got no honey, I'm so short of money. I really, really wanna go home. I dialed Oklahoma, made attempts to phone her, gave up when I got no reply. I'm on the road to Alaska, nowhere near Nebraska, but I'm sure if I don't ask her I'll die. I found Cincinatti, out there I was happy every single day of my life. I had me a woman, she started to running. I couldn't really make her my wife. She started to show which way she was going, every single road she could go. I'm on the road to Alaska, nowhere near Nebraska but I'm sure if I asked her she'll know (yeah). I made to Cincinatti, out there I was happy every single day of my life. I had me a woman, she started to running. I couldn't really make her my wife. She started to show which way she was going and every single road she could go. I'm on the road to Alaska, nowhere near Nebraska but I'm sure if I asked her she'll know. I'm sure if I ask her she'll know. I'm sure if I ask her she'll know. - Sweet Song Of Summer
Letra
Ah I can feel you, sweet song of summer Your music comforts my lonely reign I can hear you in evil darkness That empty feeling, I'm near you again I am your forever And this I emphasize Your never-ending hurting And criticize Ah We are friends forever And this I emphasize Your never-ending hurting And criticize Ah
