1972 single by Bee Gees
"Israel" is a ballad track[3] written by Barry Gibb. It appeared on the Bee Gees` 1971 album, Trafalgar.
It was recorded on 7 April 1971 at the IBC Studios in London, along with the two Maurice Gibb compositions, "Trafalgar" and "It`s Just the Way", the Robin Gibb composition "Engines, Aeroplanes", and another Barry Gibb composition, the ballad "Don`t Wanna Live Inside Myself".[3]
"Israel" was released as a single in May 1972 in Belgium,[4] in the Netherlands, where it reached No. 22, and in New Zealand. "Dearest" was chosen as the B-side.[1][deprecated source]
While the exact meaning of the song is unknown, Seth Rogovoy interpreted it for The Forward as a "love song to Israel", noting that Gibb played it onstage during a trip to Israel in 1972.[5]
Personnel
- Barry Gibb — lead and backing vocals, acoustic guitar
- Maurice Gibb — piano, bass and acoustic guitar
- Geoff Bridgford — drums
- Bill Shepherd — orchestral arrangement
