Having recently seen Saving Private Ryan perhaps it would be what the young lad would be "singing" - in the middle of the film when he is pleasing not to die and crying out for his mother in desperation. G'd that brought home the horrors of war. I think Mother of Love is so powerful in that respect. Julian Yes, very powerful lyrics and Robin's vocal brilliantly conveys the deep emotion and desperate tone of the song. When hearing "Mother of Love" it made me think that perhaps Robin was drawing on his own sorrow in losing Maurice. The song may about a soldier, or for that matter any casualty of the horror of war, but when hearing it I sensed he was drawing from his own pain and grief. I may be reading too much into it, but I wonder if there is that personal aspect for him with this very special (and very welcome) song by Robin.

Maggie I agree Maggie, this is the most exciting release from them since TIWICI, at least for me it is.

Julian I would include "Mrs. Gillespie's Refrigerator", "Ring My Bell", "If I Were The Sky", Maurice's "Danny", "Oceans and Rivers" , "Heat of the Night" ,"Love is Blind", "Sensuality". After that, from what I have heard, usually falls into the mediocre category and not surprising they were omitted from their albums.

The lyrics are incomplete, anyway. From what is there, however, it seems like the song had potential. A Maurice and Barry number, as Robin seems absent.

It's hard to imagine that they did not write more stuff being so talented and that they didn't demo them even if it was privately. True that there are songs recorded in the album's sessions that didn't make it to the final press, some of them are almost finished (or really finished) and we well find in the boxes most of them....., some where probably unfinished (at least under the brother's point of view) so we'll never hear about, except maybe in a bootleg..., those are the tunes we more or less know the titles or have heard in any form.. What I wonder is if we will find in any of this reissues a song nobody knows about, not any of Joe's list so to speak, but a gift never heard by any of us. In any case I wish there could be not a two disc package for every CD but a four disk..., the remastered original, the alternative versions, the demos and outtakes, and the live concerts of the time.

Some not even having vocals recorded for them. Still, even instrumentals would be fine by me. They could release a 'Work in progress' box set with these cuts to highlight their unfinished work Hopefully Brennan's re-vamp of Gibb Songs will shed some further light. /Ronnie Some people see things that are and ask, Why?
