Introduction
A Challenge in Researching “Be Who You Are”
Unfortunately, there seems to be a limited amount of publicly available information specifically about the song “Be Who You Are” by the Bee Gees. While the Bee Gees are undoubtedly one of the most influential music groups of all time, with a vast discography, this particular song appears to have flown under the radar of music historians and archivists.
It’s possible that:
- The song is a deep cut: Not all songs from an artist’s catalog receive extensive documentation.
- Limited commercial success: If the song didn’t chart or achieve significant popularity, there might be less written about it.
- Album track: Many album tracks, even by popular artists, don’t receive as much attention as singles.
Potential Avenues for Research
If we were to delve deeper into this, we could explore:
- Album context: The song was released on the album “Living Eyes” in 1981. Analyzing the album’s overall theme and style might provide clues about the song’s meaning.
- Bee Gees discography: Studying the Bee Gees’ evolution as songwriters could offer insights into the song’s lyrical and musical approach.
- Contemporary reviews: While unlikely, there might be reviews of the album or the song that offer some commentary.
