1972 single by Bee Gees
"Run to Me" is a song by the Bee Gees, the lead single from the group`s album To Whom It May Concern (1972). The song reached the UK Top 10 and the US Top 20.
Leer másWriting and recording
Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb are credited as co-writers of "Run to Me".[1] Later, Robin Gibb recalled, "We recorded `Run to Me` and Andy Williams cut it on his LP. If Andy Williams came up to us and said write a song and we wrote `Run to Me` for him, he probably wouldn`t have recorded it. But we recorded it and then he recorded it."[2]
"Run to Me" was recorded on 12 April 1972 at London`s IBC Studios, on the same day as "Bad Bad Dreams" and "Please Don`t Turn Out The Lights" were recorded. The song was similar to the band`s last two successful singles, "Don`t Wanna Live Inside Myself" and "My World". "Run to Me" includes vocals by both Barry and Robin Gibb.[1]
Release and live performances
Released on 7 July 1972[3] as the lead single off of the album To Whom It May Concern, [4] "Run to Me" climbed to number nine in the UK; in the US, it reached number 16.
Cash Box said that the song "features [the Bee Gees`] best chorus in years."[5] Record World said that it "is as gently irresistible as `How Can You Mend a Broken Heart.`"[6]
A promotional video for this song was filmed in black and white, featuring Barry and Robin singing in front of Maurice`s grand piano.[7]
