The Bee Gees- Every Christian Lion Hearted Man Will Show You

[hadders81]

can't believe it's 16 years since i discovered that song!! love it

[klongyaw7]

The one and only Bee Gees song I've ever liked.

[VivaDjojo]

And "Rain"

[VivaDjojo]

It looks like "Tomorrow never knows" from The Beatles

[hollies65]

The Clique nicked this for their song "Superman", which REM later covered.

[UlquiorraCifer7]

@Jons01 they were on the ferry back to ebgland when they found out that the spicks and the specks got to no.1 in australia

[ManOfBismuth008]

They seem to be singing "To Love Somebody" here. Anyone else notice this?

[fletchermunsoncurve]

i love plate reverb

[MyClw]

interesting:)

[Shidareyanagi]

Britpop? Stone Roses...Sea Horses?

[nisto95]

Why did they ever discover disco?

[scottystrider]

@nisto95 To try and change with the times. jive talkin was the last song that i liked from them. Their first album blows away the rest. The 60' genere was far better than the Disco era Bee Gees.

[OrlyDudeGuy]

cool song from the Bee Gees

[22v68]

I Love the BGs...so many wonderful songs over many decades.

[zostera1]

a very special song, I like it

[TheFabienne37]

Une trouvaille encore une fois étonnante!!!

Ces gars là sont uniques!!!

[A7XRS1]

Awesome! Their careers were just winding up; what a feast we were about to enjoy.

[rwm1]

Wow. So different. Kind of starts of like Kyonasqattsi (sic) and goes to Moody Blues. Very different and very good.

[gibsosgerbil]

Do You Think It's A Haughting Song?

[spatoon]

This is such a cool song - definitely a bit of a Magical Mystery Tour rip-off, but still awesome (who wasn't ripping off the beatles in 1967?) Amazing that the same band would go on to record the greatest dance songs of all time

[stalkingwolf1954]

@the Gibbs brothers @ 19,18, and 17 yrs old released their 1st grestest hits lp1968,then in73 did '' nights on broadway'' restarting their career,next to the beatles, they [bee gees] are the biggest selling recording artists in HISTORY!!!!!!!!

[gibsosgerbil]

I'd rather prefer The Dominos with "The Ghost Of The Christian Church" The Song was released On 24th July 1966.

[gibsosgerbil]

Do You Think This Song Is Spooky?

[mollysangelique]

ik,vat,hem,niet,yesterday,nou,­heel,andere,style,i,m,used,too­,niet,beter

[elgrovez13]

Yeah there disco stuff was incredibly popular and therefore great, just like the painting of dogs playing poker. Incredibly popular therefore a great work of art. I just don't understand why it's not hanging in the louvre.

[gibsosgerbil]

I think The Dominos charted "The Ghost Of The Christian Church" was charted way back In Summer 1966 and it is very spooky.

Do You Think The Bee Gees Songs Are Spooky?

[giovister]

Great Mellotron work!

[317twiggy]

one of the best album produced in the 20th century.Brilliant!!!

[gibsosgerbil]

Do You Think This sounds haunting?

[GreenhouseEffectGE]

Such an awesome sound !!

[GeertToole]

I prefer the version of goon moon

[Mariahfan991]

I love this song. It's unlike anything else in the history of music. A rare record and totally unique. 

[lastrada52]

Amazing that a group like this could produce such a classic track as this. This is the Bee Gees I will always remember and respect.

[tosapete]

Right at 0:59, listen to that line and tell me REM didn't swipe that harmony for I Am Superman.

[beatlesrutles]

@tosapete I thought that too the very first time I heard this a few days ago.

[makingsense53]

I've never heard this song before today and I like it. I have been a fan since the 45 release of I've Got To Get A Message To You. The early years was my favorite music by the Bee Gees. Peace.

[Theflyinhawaiian2000]

Of course they sound a bit like the Beatles... From the same time period, same country... This song is pretty interesting. I haven't checked out much of their older stuff.

[spatoon]

@Theflyinhawaiian2000 DUUUUUDE THEYRE AUSTRALIAN (ohhhh burrrned)

[Theflyinhawaiian2000]

@spatoon Oh, yea, they spent 9 or 10 years in Australia, but when did their musical careers really take off? I'm pretty much just talking about their international hits that began in 1967, when they returned to England...

[littlebigbrain]

@spatoon Born in England and they were/are proud to call themselve British as they often have. Most Assies are British anyhow they still bow to our Queen. lol

[Jons01]

@spatoon Barry, Robin and Maurice were born in Douglas, The Isle of Man They moved to Manchester, England just before Andy was born in 1958. They emigrated to Australia when Barry was about 9 yrs at the suggestion of the Manchester police. After 13 records, all flops in Australia they talked their parents into going back to England so they could have a chance at being famous. It worked.

[DylanNotBob]

sounds like they're definetly trying to rip off the beatles...definetly from the drums..."Only a Northern Song" and "Rain" spring to mind.

[NelsonsHat]

@DylanNotBob The Bee Gees were far superior to the Beatles, better vocals, better songwriters too, no to mention more longevity.

[porgut]

@DylanNotBob yeah it would be so hard to emulate Ringo! haha

[ChicagoKid5]

This was one of my favorite early Bee Gees tunes, as my mom had this record back in the day (I would later own my own copy, the CD copy has "Tomorrow, Tomorrow" in place of "Spicks and Specks".).

[EmpZappa66]

I think what I don't like the most about their disco stuff is that it makes them sound dated or kitschy, whereas stuff like this has a very timeless quality to it.

[sopaman1234]

@EmpZappa66 Good Point.. well that's why disco didn't survive, this period in thier music is forever..

[Jons01]

@EmpZappa66 Actually the Bee Gees never wrote Disco stuff. They were recording songs for a new album when Stigwood asked for music for SNF. They literally gave him their new album plus wrote a few more songs. The U.S. made those "Disco" songs because of the time period and the movie and then hated the Bee Gees for all Disco. IMO I find a timeless quality to all their music. They are simply the most talented songwriters of our time.

[gibsosgerbil]

Teenagers Always Hate Spooky Sounds On Music.

[dieunous]

This sounds spooky

[firelake1942]

@dieunous

[samspadesdooman]

for every child is thinking of something wild has stuck with me for decades, just a great song

[LittleCara1]

Uuuuuuuuuuh, it's such a awesome song

[mikekadas]

Every Christian Lion Hearted Man Will Show You [Stereo Version] - Bee Gees [Brisbane, Queensland, Australia] - 1967 - "Sure sounds like a Gregorian chant at times with this light Psychedelic Pop song." - The Studio Albums 1967-1968 [Box Set] (Reprise) - Bee Gees' 1st [Disc 1]-2006.

[Kirke182]

I hated the disco stuff.

[trollhater70s]

I bloody hate Oasis, loved them when i was 13 and I had crap in my ears! Now older and wiser I love the Bee Gees! I know which Mancunian ''brothers G'', I prefer!!!

[misterkojakk]

i like this song

[misterkojakk]

good song

[atthehops]

This song is similar to the Electric Prunes, Mass in F Minor

[harpobaby7]

Odessa is awesome.

[ysbaddaden2003]

Man, this was my favorite song when I was 8.

[johnny10301968]

This almost sounds like The Moody Blues or Pink Floyd i can imagine Syd Barrett doing something like this.

[shirleygibson]

Is This Song, "Every Christian Man Will Live Jesus" way back In Late 1967, and the song took 4:06 seconds when it recorded By The Lone.

[roderick0071]

cassettettmusic : ------Just what kind of idiot says ' Gee how did somebody do music like this band 30 years before they did " YOU IDIOT I have a funny feeling Oasis may have ripped THEM OFF .......... You are headshakingly stupid

[HippieHappyTV]

The Bee Gees 1st is definitly a great buy! I love their psychedelic era, very underrated work of theirs. Though i have never enjoyed their disco and R&B era, im still grateful of them to out out such wonderful music for us all.. good work Bee Gees:)

[stitchcostello]

One of their best songs, too bad it is not on the latest versions of their Greatest Hits. This is a great song and shows their range in music.

[thereisfear]

This is an incredible song!

[univibe23]

Sounds like John Lennon was haunting them on this one.

[jlgkl23]

What a fabulous song, with a great Mellotron use !

[Cassettomusic]

I found amazing that the Bee Gees did a song that could sound so Oasis (only minus electric guitars) in 1967

[ysbaddaden2003]

@Cassettomusic

Oasis is a shit band

Oh look at us we're the anti-establishment punk bank brought to you by these major sponsors...

[crocodile1374]

Which of the brothers, if any is it hat sings te opening lyrics, "Go Solo Dominique?" And in such a deep voice, and what are hte instrumentsdoing the begining, and who is it that does that low toned humming at the end as the hand drums signify someone walking away?

[LukeShoveller]

All three of them are doing the monk calling at the beginning.

The instruments are just that, what do you mean?

The humming again sound like the same monk calling by all three, but Maurice had the deepest bass voice range so therefore it would most likely be him at the end - if it is one voice.

[sniffouz6]

what is the meaning of the song ? (title) just like IOIO.... ? Barry, Robin, are you here to reply ??????????

[LukeShoveller]

Buy the CD, they write about it in the liner notes. :)

[Carthsting]

@sniffouz6 Its obviously about the lion named Christian.Look at related videos.

[slashgnr12]

i think the first 27 sec. sounds kinda scarr

scary and the bites in between. but the rest of the song is real good :)

[louthebody]

I was always a fan of theirs and even more so for being nice to my dad when my dad worked as a bellhop at the Waldorf. Of course my dad was much older and they were always respectful young men as my dad would always say. My dad had coffee with Maurice Gibb not long after the passing of their brother Andy. May Andy and Maurice rest in peace. My dad liked all of them that's good enough for me.

[cactusqueendarlene]

That's really great. :)

[genatzvalee]

I so love this song, and the early Bee Gees! Their first album amazed me. Before that I knew only stuff like Jive Talkin' and Stayin Alive. I was happy to discover the other side of Bee Gees, and I dig it!

[heatcatmeow]

This was the very first song I ever heard the Bee Gees sing. I was only thirteen years old then and have been a fan ever since!

[ineedatimemachine]

this was the first beegees album i bought (all those years ago) and since then have collected them all, best ever band

[Doug4422]

Another sublime, and very good early recording of The Bee Gees at their best.

[mjZstargirl]

is it just me or does it begin like Mozart's requiem mass in d minor?

[Doug4422]

It does, because the first bars of Mozart's Requiem makes up the first few seconds of this song.

[mjZstargirl]

@Doug4422

Hey thank you!

I feel so proud to have guessed it lol!

[Doug4422]

It's about the first 27 seconds of the song, and appears in small segments after the first verse, and chorus are performed.

[lorraineybabey]

wicked

[lorraineybabey]

wicked

[dlpine71]

@deagla NO SHIT!!!!!?????????? LOL

[dlpine71]

great post, graffitist!! i remember listening to this song and album in the mid-seventies!! thanks, jon - aristacourt - for sharing!!

david

[anitashelby]

Never heard this one before..It's really different but, It's a Great Song!!! Thankyou...Anita..

[dedem745]

Great song!!!

Their voices here sound just unbelievable strong and INTENSE!!!

I never heard that pure intensity from any other group!!!

God bless The Bee Gees!!!!

[sgold1]

Bee Gees at every stage of their career have been associated with great music/songwriting. From their early pop/pop rock/protoprog days thru their disco era.......

[AdamsApple1963]

The Gibb Brothers were amazing writers!

[beatlegreg68]

I love when robin or whoever cracks on the last chorus!

[rvbarnesboy]

I don't mind the production by Stigwood at all/ Some of the players, like the drummer, were topflight dudes. Love the sound of that snare.

[rvbarnesboy]

I grew up with this album. always moved by this song. want to record it. But what ARE they saying in the beginning? It can't be "Oh solo dominique". I mean. why. It's a reference to C.S. Lewis, of course. Loved The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe, too.

Beautiful song.

[lucinda2005]

I miss Andy so much.

[17DJLOVER]

Well said Veg, why should any band be afraid to change? the Bee Gees had the ability to write and perform a variety of music. More power to them, if you look at some of the comments here on you tube, a great number of people remember their disco period as the finest time of theit life.

[BreezesofConey]

@17DJLOVER And why shouldn't they? It was all about getting together and having fun. No violence, no hate. I think people who hate disco are the same type who are unwilling to try new foods or accept people into their homes because they are not the same. The Bee Gees are very dynamic and everything they've attempted was successful. I do not necessarily enjoy how disco became over marketed and commercialized but even rock has become so.

[VegSpinz]

Why do people condemn artists for "selling out," when they make music for the masses? It's difficult enough to make a living as a musician/artist. As business owners, we "sell out" every day to make more money. It's called marketing. Nice to hear some of their earlier work, but nothing wrong with their disco stuff either! It makes (some) people sing and dance and nostalgic for that era. Good for them!

[GeorgiiiiRaWK]

coloradowinter is a half wit, bands always want to change direction, they simply disappear if they do not. The r&b sectionof the Bee Gees career was by far their most successful in every way. They started to produce and write for other artists, and sold millions and millions, just because you did not enjoy that period, it does not mean others disliked it too. I think any band that can have the diversity in their songwriting and ability to move on deserves credit, not criticism!

[Gimmer3]

@GeorgiiiiRaWK , I love the old stuff the best by far.

[coloradowinter53]

They did a lot of good stuff before they fell into the Disco trap. Check out The New York Mining Disaster 1941 and Lonely Days, Lonely Nights. Damn shame they went disco and forfeited their credibility.

[leeroynaggins]

Damn, what is up with these guys? Never knew they did this kind of stuff. Amazing talent!

[TheTerraplane]

you do not see this song very often

[TENRECORDS]

The Beatles never covered this song, you simpleton!

[wolf2272]

This is Bee Gees, pal. Bee Gees, not The Beatles.

[chanel492]

what about those who arent christian...

what about jews.........

[LukeShoveller]

They won't show you?;)

[yaukb]

The Bee Gees recorded this song in April 1967.

The Moody Blues album was recorded in October of the same year.

[antihotmail]

This song sounds like a hybrid between The Beatles and The Moody Blues. Almost sounds

like Strawberry Fields and Dawn is a Feeling

from Days of Future Past.

[groundhog713]

I love that spooky mellotron in the song, the echo/reverb also makes it sound eerie as well!

[coltripwired]

great song but does anyone have the song by the bee gees lion in winter its sung by robin and its nowhere on the net

[filmfan17]

Thank you. I've been looking for this for ages and it's one of my favourite Bee Gees songs!

[KingStevoPunk]

i though it's "oh saint dominique" i could be wrong..

[BeeGeesJunkie]

I just looked up the spelling and meaning of the key word which is: Domine - 1. Lord or master; 2. Master Guide Us

[NelsonsHat]

It means Im going to Tecos

[dbtcadmu]

this sounds scary, what does 'oh solo dominique' mean?

[KingStevoPunk]

twiggy ramirez of marilyn manson his side project band did a cover of it but i've never heard it.

[xladystardustx]

It is really good, in my opinion! Jeordie is the one singing it in the Goon Moon version. He has always claimed to be a huge Bee Gees fan.

[KingStevoPunk]

hahahahaa i think it sounds satanic too. i absolutely love it, and the dead dude on (our/the) right hand side in the pic totally has the face of satan as i imagine satan to look too!

[interestingfailure]

The Bee Gees should have done a Sex Pistols and stopped after their first magnificent album.

[hollies65]

The chorus in this song sounds just like the verse of 'I Am Superman' by the Clique and REM. Great song.

[ledzepguy]

This is my favorite song from the bee gees!

[barnyardstory]

I never noticed before but, there are some harmonies that sound very much like the Stones/Jager or vise versa. I heard in in To Love Somebody as well. I'm sure it's just an artifact of the period.

[DieCocos]

now i know who are the idols from oasis!

[ysbaddaden2003]

As a kid I was listening to this song when some folks came by looking for my parents and they heard this song and were positive it was satanic.

[ysbaddaden2003]

This and the Monkees Daily Nightly were my favortie songs as a young boy.

[wayfinder01]

good job,very good

[AndreRieuFans]

There was an Aussie who with his friend, saved a lion cub from a small cage.. you can see the video here (youtube) search for Christian the Lion. Adamson was involved in the release to Africa. Great story.

Cool Song.

[greg33770]

Excellent song, I remember this from my younger years. Thank You! Lets all be Christian Lion Hearted Men.

[ryanspeed]

Great song! I love the droning at the beginning!

[jolieblondeLA]

I believe this song was written about George Adamson, the "Lion Man" of Kenya who w/his wife helped Christian the Lion adapt to life in the wild after living w/caretakers in London. If you search for Christian the Lion reunion you can see it. Adamson and his wife were murdered by lion poachers.

[Dukekesting]

I dearly loved both the Adamsons and the Bee Gees, it never occurred to me this song binds them together, never seen the 3 brothers drawn to the African eden. I strongly feel the song rising from their childhood christian memories.

[jbarrick]

The mellotron on this(the three note downward phrase leading in the "chanting" voices) is extremely simple, but effective nonetheless. It was played by Maurice using the "three violins" tapeset on a Mk.II Mellotron - if I recall correctly, he used the tron on three or four other cuts on this album. Even though Stigwood's production of this album is simply awful, it serves as a stark reminder that the BeeGees existed before Disco, and what a talent they possessed for vocal melody and harmony.

[SixSixSatan]

Check out Goon Moon's cover of this, it's amazing!

[badluckshadow13]

I know! you gotta love Jeordie for having great taste in music huh?

[HomedudePedroski]

pretty cool old Bee Gees song

[hobbesforsure]

this is so beautiful

[pappy15445]

incredible

[scottty795]

One of the best songs of the Bee Gees! Great Song!

[M231231]

Easily my favorite bee gee song. Anyone out there have this on video?

[userofthebrain]

My favorite Bee Gees song from the 6o's. This is one of the first songs of their's I heard. Simply an amazing sound. Great compilation album cover too.

[sgold1]

It is difficult to believe that it is the Bee Gees. What a masterpiece. This is simply an example of great early prog rock.....

[BillyMacQ]

Love this song, used to sing it with a band called Dock Ellis a few years back. Also covered by Alice Donut featuring the amazing Stephen Moses on drums (also in Dock Ellis). Great great song! Thanks for sharing. Love, Billy

[plyg]

sounds like pink floyd or moody blues.

[kickassfan]

Great pick, they are real kick ass writers!!!!!
