Photos and Sound Fragments

Edinho Santa Cruz is a Brasilian artist and a Bee Gees fan too. Some years ago he had the opportunity to meet Maurice Gibb and this year in 2004 he composed a beautiful tribute song for Mo which became one of his album tracks on an album with Bee Gees covers. Below the story about his meeting with Maurice and of course his tribute song.

“The photo was taken in 1999, in the house of MAURICE GIBB, Miami Beach – FL, who received me with much affection. On this day we talked about music and projects, and I revealed the desire to record a COMPACT DISC with versions in Portuguese of musics of BEE GEES. In 2002, THE BEE GEES had liberated the versions and, had gentily authorized the use of images in the COMPACT DISC ENCONTROS “Staying Alive”, recorded with the participation of my brother Cillinho and, currently launched for the SOM LIVRE in Brazil and for European recorder VIDISCO, in Portugal and in five countries of Portuguese language. ” The COMPACT DISC ENCONTROS “Staying Alive” – Edinho Santa Cruz sings BEE GEES, is a tribute to THE BEE GEES and specially to MAURICE GIBB who certainly was the biggest force to help making this project”.

High, above
There’s a light shinning bright beyond the life.
“Mo”, Goodbye
But your songs still remain throughout the time.

You were brave fighting to your lucidity
Gave all the strength to be free
You reflect sympathy in every breath that you lived.

NOW, IN HEAVEN
LET THE SOUND OF YOUR VOICE AND YOUR LIGHT
LAST FOREVER

Day and night
Simple gestures to please and mind the crowd
Yes, so kind
All the good in your soul that made me proud.

Always cherish the kid that stirs in your heart
Leap all the way you may go.
If the river of life, can’t hold back the time
Good memories never die.

NOW, IN HEAVEN
LET THE SOUND OF YOUR VOICE AND YOUR LIGHT
LAST FOREVER
