Song title: Alone
Artist: Bee Gees
Year: 1996
Why I like this song:
Back in the nineties, listening to the Bee Gees would've come across as daggy: From the outset, they looked like relics from the disco era, more associated with gaudy outfits and haircuts than the songs they could produce.
But what is remarkable is that Barry, Maurice and Robin could still churn a winner of a song, along with their vocal acrobatics, three decades in their career.
So what makes this special? Maybe it's the sentiment: "I don't want to be alone". Maybe it reminds me of the time better than a lot of other songs from the same year. Maybe it's notion that if I question it, it may lose all menaing...
