Introduction:
“I Was the Child” is a song by the Bee Gees, featured on their 1970 album “2 Years On.” This album marked a significant period in the band’s history, as it was their first project following the brief departure of Robin Gibb in 1969. His return to the group brought a renewed sense of unity and creativity, which is evident throughout the album.
The song showcases the Bee Gees’ signature harmonies and emotive songwriting, reflecting their evolution as artists during this era. While “I Was the Child” was not released as a single, it contributes to the album’s exploration of themes such as nostalgia, personal growth, and introspection.
“2 Years On” is notable for its blend of musical styles, combining elements of pop, rock, and folk. The album received mixed reviews upon release but has since been appreciated for its depth and the seamless reintegration of Robin’s vocals with those of his brothers, Barry and Maurice.
