And another...
Why? A hugely talented and accomplished wordsmith who understood things like rhyme, metaphor, pacing of a lyric etc., all civilised values to applaud, surely.I thoroughly detest the kind of stuff that Sammy Cahn peddled, so it's the Brothers Gibb for me.
Middle-of-the-road crap, but that's just my opinion of course. His songs don't move me in any way, shape or form, and that's all I judge music on.Why?

One of my favourite Bee Gees song, strangely written for a prisoner on death row, for his wife
The preacher talked to me and he smiled
Said, "Come and walk with me
Come and walk one more mile
Now for once in your life you're alone
But you ain't got a dime
There's no time for the phone"
I've just got to get a message to you
Hold on, hold on
One more hour and my life will be through
Hold on, hold on
I told him I'm in no hurry
But if I broke her heart
Then won't you tell her I'm sorry
And for once in my life I'm alone
And I've got to let her know just in time before I go
Are we eliminated yet??
The Gibb brothers are staying alive in this competition.
