The Bee Gees - Run to Me

"Run to Me" is a song by the English rock band Bee Gees. It was the lead single and first track on the group's 1972 album To Whom It May Concern. There is also a promotional video for this song. Written by Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb. Lead vocals by Barry Gibb on the verses and Robin Gibb on the chorus. It was very much in the mold of the last two successful singles, a straight verse-chorus number with vocal by both Barry and Robin. Maurice sings in a very low key along with Robin in the chorus which is barely audible, something he rarely did in concert when they performed this song. "Run to Me" saw the Bee Gees return to the UK Top 10 after a three year absence, climbing to #9 while in the US it reached #16. -wiki

Today’s Video: Bee Gees -"New York Mining Disaster 1941"

"New York Mining Disaster 1941" is a 1967 song by the Bee Gees, written by Barry and Robin Gibb. Barring a moderately successful reissue of their Australian single "Spicks and Specks", it was the first single release of the group's international career and their first song to hit the charts in the US or UK.

Barry and Robin Gibb wrote the song when they were sitting on a darkened staircase at Polydor Records following a power cut. The echo of the passing lift inspired them to imagine that they were trapped in a mine. The song recounts the story of a miner trapped in a cave-in. He is sharing a photo of his wife with a colleague ("Mr. Jones") while they hopelessly wait to be rescued. According to the liner notes for their box-set Tales from the Brothers Gibb (1990), this song was inspired by the 1966 Aberfan mining disaster in Wales.
