Sobre el álbum
El monumental Spirits Having Flown es la culminación de la era disco de los Bee Gees y su respuesta al éxito estratosférico de "Saturday Night Fever". Con este álbum de 1979, por lo tanto, el grupo entrega una obra maestra de pop, soul y disco, con una producción aún más grandiosa y unos arreglos orquestales suntuosos. De este modo, el disco se convirtió en otro fenómeno de ventas mundial, generando tres singles número uno consecutivos en Estados Unidos.
Además, el trabajo presenta una increíble variedad, desde el himno disco "Tragedy" hasta la balada soul "Too Much Heaven" o la seductora "Love You Inside Out". Por consiguiente, el álbum demostró que los Bee Gees eran mucho más que una banda de música de baile; eran maestros del pop en todas sus facetas. Por esta razón, "Spirits Having Flown" es el cénit de su popularidad y una de las joyas indiscutibles de la música de finales de los setenta.

Letra
Here I lie in a lost and lonely part of town Held in time In a world of tears I slowly drown Goin' home I just can't make it all alone I really should be holding you Holding you, loving you loving you Tragedy When the feeling's gone and you can't go on It's tragedy When the morning cries and you don't know why It's hard to bear With no-one to love you you're goin' nowhere Tragedy When you lose control and you got no soul It's tragedy When the morning cries and you don't know why It's hard to bear With no-one beside you you're goin' nowhere Night and day there's a burning down inside of me Burning love With a yearning that won't let me be Down I go and I just can't take it all alone I really should be holding you Holding you, Loving you loving you Tragedy When the feeling's gone and you can't go on It's tragedy When the morning cries and you don't know why It's hard to bear With no-one to love you you're goin' nowhere Tragedy When you lose control and you got no soul It's tragedy When the morning cries and you don't know why It's hard to bear With no-one beside you you're goin' nowhere Tragedy When the feeling's gone and you can't go on It's tragedy When the morning cries and you don't know why It's hard to bear With no-one to love you you're goin' nowhere Tragedy When you lose control and you got no soul It's tragedy When the morning cries and you don't know why It's hard to bear With no-one beside you you're goin' nowhere - Too Much Heaven4:57

Watching every day go by, living in a foolish game Just the way I feel today Living my life without you Never hear a single word, living in a lullaby Praying every tear I cry Living my life without you And everywhere you go I fly (I love you with a special feeling) And darling till the day I die (baby never stop believing) I'll be reaching out, I'll be reaching out, Ahh.... Reaching out (there's a woman goin' through me) I'll be reaching out ( got a chance to hold you to me ) Ahh.. Everything is lonely and I need you Living my life forever,forever Watching every day go by Living on the one I love What I got is not enough Living my life without you And I believe in yesterday (yesterday was once tomorrow) With love, with love wide open every way (baby you're the light I follow) I'll be reaching out, I'll be reaching out , Ahh Reaching out (there's a woman going through me) I'll be reaching out (got a chance to hold you to me) Everything is lonely and I need you Living my life forever I'll be reaching out I'll be reaching out Reaching out I'll be reaching out Living my life forever Reaching out, I'll be reaching out Ahh... - Spirits (Having Flown)5:21

Don't let the day keep moving on With tears and pride They hide the sun Look to the road that lies ahead I'm turning to the dream we left to die Dying alone Cry for the moment you passed me by Baby I don't now how I'm only crying now Search, find No stone unturned, no hell, no fury gonna stop my love and all its glory Search, find No man, no God, no pain can sever my love for you, God We're forever Don't lose the will to make it right A day is just a brighter night And from the flames, a dying love can learn to fly And rise above and be All that we are You are the heart of my everything Maybe I lose my mind I'm not the losing kind Search, find No stone unturned, no hell, no fury gonna stop my love and all its glory Search, find No man, no God, no pain can sever my love for you, God We're forever Search find No stone unturned - Stop(Think Again)

Letra
You were a lovely child and your hair was like the morning sun. And I knew we were in love. We were alone to dream a dream. We held our love that held our hearts. And who are we? Who knew all there was in life and coming through and every lonely sad mistake, every change and interchange we make? We held our love and that held our hearts. Until, until, ooh. Ah...
