Introduction
Still Waters Run Deep: A Resurgence of the Bee Gees Magic
Released in 1997, “Still Waters Run Deep” marked a significant chapter in the illustrious career of the Bee Gees. The song was the title track of their 21st studio album, which arrived amidst a musical landscape dramatically different from the disco era that had propelled them to global stardom. While the Bee Gees had continued to create music throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, “Still Waters Run Deep” presented a fresh sonic direction for the trio.
The album, and the title track in particular, showcased a mature and introspective side of the Bee Gees. Departing from the upbeat, dance-oriented sound of their earlier hits, “Still Waters Run Deep” embraced a more melodic and emotionally resonant approach. The song’s lyrics delved into themes of love, loss, and the complexities of human relationships, resonating with listeners who had grown alongside the band.
