1973 single by Bee Gees
"Saw a New Morning" is the 1973 single released by the Bee Gees. It was also the group`s first single released on Robert Stigwood`s newly created records label RSO Records. The Bee Gees moved to Los Angeles in 1972 to record the album Life in a Tin Can which was a new direction for the group, who had been recording in England since 1967. The B-side, "My Life Has Been a Song" features lead vocal by Robin Gibb as well as Barry Gibb.[1]
Composition and recording
This song contains melodic ideas that the group would revisit on the later track "Edge of the Universe".
"Saw a New Morning" was written in 1972 and recorded around September the same year. On the song, Maurice Gibb played the bassline on an electric piano, instead of electric bass.[2] The song also features noted session drummer Jim Keltner.[3] The Bee Gees` touring guitarist, who also recorded in the studio with them, also plays on this song and its parent album.[4]
Reception
This single was the first and only single from the album, the single did not fare well and stalled at #94 in the US,[5] while it did not chart at all in the UK.[6] Ironically, while the single flopped in most of the world, it reached #1 in Hong Kong, as did their next single "Wouldn`t I Be Someone", which also flopped in both the US and UK.
In April 1973, they performed the song on The Midnight Special and The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, in addition to a 1973 TV special called Love Sounds Special in Japan.[7]
Billboard commented on the Bee Gees "distinct vocal blend" and the backing instrumentation that "sounds like a symphonic orchestra."[8] Cash Box said that "the accent is on melody and three part harmony as Robin, Barry & Maurice prove that they`re still one of the finest vocal groups around."[9] Record World said that "the familiar harmonies and thunderous orchestrations which are keys to this group`s success, are right there."[10]
