Song of the Day: "New York Mining Disaster 1941"

ARTIST: Bee Gees
TITLE: "New York Mining Disaster 1941"
YEAR: 1967

A paper for a class I'm taking brought this song to mind. Actually writing about Bee Gees' "New York Mining Disaster 1941" makes one realize just how much it says in so few words. I already really liked the song (great atmosphere and harmonies, lyrics and instrumentation that work well together), but I think, just this once, homework actually deepened my appreciation of the song. I'm not sure how many times I'll admit to something like that.

To hear this song, click here. The song can be bought on many Bee Gees and 60s compilations, but I don't know well enough which to recommend at this time.
