  4. Barry and Robin Gibb wrote the song in August 1970 with ‘Lonely Days’ when the Gibb brothers had reconvened following a period of break-up and alienation.  In 1969, Robin left the group after feeling their new manager, Robert Stigwood, favored Barry as the frontman.  There were a lot of intense arguments, with the brothers not speaking to each other for weeks and then coming back together again.  Both his brothers showed up at Barry’s wedding in 1970, when he married Linda Gray and they started talking again.  Robin came over to Barry’s place one afternoon which was a link to them coming back together and they wrote ‘How Can You Mend a Broken Heart’.

  6. “Underneath the stitches
    Wounds become scars”

    Beluga Lagoon, Song Lyrics

    Hirta Lyrics

    [Verse 1]
    Far to the west, are islands on the edge
    Where Atlantic waves pull and sway
    Where down the rope, we must go
    Trying not to fall, to the steel blue below

    [Chorus]
    And the curling waves pull us to our bay
    We are stuck on the main, some on Boreray
    Running low on corn, barley, oats and there’ll be no boats for a while
    Sleep easy and pray the gale doesn’t blow you away

    [Verse 2]
    The Fulmar floats, then she goes
    So down the rope we will go

    [Chorus]
    And the curling waves pull us to our bay
    We are stuck on the main, some on Boreray
    Running low on corn, barley, oats and there’ll be no boats for a while
    Sleep easy and pray the gale doesn’t blow you away

    [Outro]
    Oh we live life this way, among the waves
    Oh we live life this way, among the waves
    Oh we live life this way, among the waves
    Oh we live life this way, among the waves
    Oh we live life this way, among the waves
    Oh we live life this way, among the waves
    Oh we live life this way, among the waves
    Oh we live life this way, among the waves

          1. 11,30 pm and I’m done… the computer behaved itself all afternoon and this evening 😍🌏💻 … I haven’t done much blogging, but I’ve nearly completed my “Shangri La” Booklet, Volume 15, which is a miracle under the circumstances of the last month or so 📖😊🐶😍🌏
