These minimally over 4 minutes we got here are the music video for the Bee Gees classic "Stayin' Alive" from 1977, so this one is already over 40 years old and sadly the twins are dead opposing the song's title, have been for a while now, while Barry in his early 70s is still alive and well. He is also the center of this music video we got here with his easily recognizable high-pitched voice. Well, there is not too much to say about the song really. Everybody knows it, even those who were decades away from being born when this was released. It's a classic no denying. The only somewhat weak thingey is probably the "going nowhere" part. Now for their video, it is okay, but not that great. The moments when they move up front from these walls or ruins is slightly cringey even, but with a bit of cult attached to it too like caricatures. They three may be moving forward quickly and with determination, but they always seem funny and never unstoppable, which may also have had to do with their haircuts and how we evaluate them from today's perspective. It's a song that everybody really should have listened to at least once in his lifetime. I think you should check it out, but yeah you can do without the video I suppose that lowered my rating by one star out of five. What else can I say here. Bee Gees are about the sound of their voices rather than perfection with hitting all the right notes and how this approach can be a nice formula for gigantic success this musc video here is the best example of. Go see it.

I heard this song very late from its birth. I saw the video more late. And it remains a sort of letter from nowhere. Inspiring a state of soul, easy to define as nostalgia, against the lyrics, not the most inspired, reducing all at voices , rhytm and old buildings and at three brothers and a song who reminds why you live.
