The idea for Guilty came from Streisand who after attending a Bee Gees concert at Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium approached the group about having them collaborate with her on her new album. The initial plan was for the Bee Gees to write and produce half the album but Streisand liked the songs they wrote so much that she and Barry wound up working on the entire album. “Guilty” was written by Barry along with his brothers and bandmates Robin and Maurice Gibb, the only song on the album with writing credits from all three Bee Gees, with Barry producing alongside regular collaborators Albhy Galuten and Karl Richardson. The Bee Gees influence is heavy on “Guilty.” Like a lot of Bee Gees songs, “Guilty” is a love song with vague lyrics about a couple expressing their devotion to each other. Like many Bee Gees songs, it’s filled with lyrics that don’t make a whole lot of sense using Max Martin’s method of melodic math well before he popularized it, “You battle on with the love you’re livin’ on/We are devotion.” None of the lyrics for the album were re-written which says a lot. And it also has lyrics that are trying way too hard to be poetic, “Make it a crime to be lonely or sad/Our love will climb any mountain near or far.” The influence shows up in more direct ways. The build-up to the chorus sounds a lot to me like the post-chorus of “Night Fever.” And one of the lyrics, “Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky” is a direct lift of the lyric, “You and me girl got a highway to the sky,” from “Too Much Heaven.” To buy this cover: To buy the backing track: Free score: LINKS: Official Website Facebook: Instagram: Musescore: Support me on Paypal: GEAR: Sax Gear Selmer Alto Mark VI Meyer NY 6M Vandoren Java 2.5 (not filed) LeFreque Metal Resonator Solid Silver Selmer S10 Clarinet Vandoren java 2.5 Vandoren 5JB Mouthpiece Muramatsu Flute Unknown model, Prototype from the 70s Sound Gear X3 Stellar Microphone (TZ Audio) Apollo MKII Thunderbolt UA Audio card Logic X Video Gear iMac 2020 Retina 5k MacBook Pro 16” (2020) Panasonic Lumix GH5II Samsung S23Ultra5g Samsung 360 gear Mavic Pro 3 drone Final Cut Pro
