It sounds like Robin Gibb singing high C in full voice. That is on the
phrase "tell you" in the chorus.
But I have always imagined that unlikely, even though it is how it sounds.
Is the highest note on those words really high C? Is it falsetto?
.
David Garcia, who really likes that part of the song, even if helium
balloons were required in NYC

I don’t hear MFAS and Dogs as falsetto just as I don’t hear the high notes on Please Read Me which predates dates them. These don=80t really fit into the definition of falsetto. It’s not just a question of singing beyond the normal range.
‘The typical tone of falsetto register or M2, has usually a characteristic breathy[2][3] and flute-like sound relatively free of overtones=80
This is sound from the Helium Years

You're right. I did a grammatical mistake in the sentence. Really sorry.

I assume you mean "more beautiful". If so, no
way Jose! Sorry, I mean Rogerio.

I can't blame Barry re:
"Dearest". I too have little desire to listen.
But
truth is, Barry doesn't have to listen. Let his fans
listen. What's wrong with that?
There are plenty unreleased songs that are way
past the demo stage that Barry could release. Kick
clearly
isn't a demo, nor is "The Kids No Good",
or
his 80s output.
He just
doesn't want to release any music for his fans other
than "The Best of The Best of The Best of The
Greatest
Hits" version CX.
But
to be fair to Baz, we know there is absolutely nothing
left
in the vault. Give me a break!
