A sad little cover of this quasi psychedelic tune. Recorded LITLR at the condo my kid and I stayed at in Williamsburg, VA this past weekend. It's about 6am and my kids asleep, so I arranged this quiet little thing.
1 uke/vocal- stereo

Love the sweet intimacy of this. Almost lullaby-like. I don't know the original - guessing it's quite obscure (?), but it fits you like a glove. And it would have fitted the Drinking Song Fest, lol.

It's a lovely song, and I really like the way you perform it.

I've never heard of this song either but I love the tenderness of the performance. Very soothing with the quieter vocals

This must be a rare one as I've never heard it but I really enjoyed this up close and personal version. Lovely stuff Hook, nicely played and sensitively sung.

I watched the original at first. Fine take on this - your voice and uke sounds sweet!

Really good tune. Wasn't expecting this when I clicked on this. Not sure how the original sounds but this is haunting and reflective, not what I normally think of when I think of the Bee Gees. But those guys were superior songwriters so it makes sense. Really good performance on the vocals and a great recording too.

Not one of their songs that I know, but I love how you've done it. Beautiful bell tones from your uke, and a cozy, intimate vocal.

Well done, Mr. Hook!
