Too Much Heaven // The Bee Gees




Ev'rything we are will never die
Loving's such a beautiful thing
Oh you make my world.. a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away

-----
Too Much Heaven written by the Bee Gees, performed by the Bee Gees, 1978

From the song's Wikipedia article: "The recording process was the longest of all the tracks on Spirits Having Flown [the album on which the song appears] as there are nine layers of three-part harmony creating 27 voices, though the high falsetto voices are the most pronounced in the final mix:

* Barry on falsetto lead three times
* falsetto high harmony three times
* falsetto low harmony three times
* Barry on natural voice lead three times
* high harmony three times
* low harmony three times
* Barry, Robin and Maurice together on lead three times
* high harmony three times
* low harmony three times"

27 voices. We all miss you, Brothers Gibb.
