“Every Second, Every Minute” is a soulful ballad by the Bee Gees, featured on their 1970 album 2 Years On. This album was particularly significant as it marked the reunion of the Gibb brothers after a brief breakup in 1969. With Barry, Robin, and Maurice back together, the record showcased both reconciliation and renewed creativity, and this track is a perfect example of that emotional depth.
The song carries the Bee Gees’ signature lush harmonies and tender lyrics, expressing devotion and the desire to cherish every single moment with a loved one. Barry Gibb’s heartfelt lead vocal, layered with Robin and Maurice’s harmonies, makes the track resonate with intimacy and timeless emotion.

At its heart, “Every Second, Every Minute” is about treasuring love in its entirety—down to every fleeting moment. It reflects themes of loyalty, passion, and the fragility of time, reminding listeners of the importance of living fully in love and connection.
2 Years On was the first Bee Gees album after Robin Gibb rejoined the group, following his temporary departure.
The album also included “Lonely Days”, which became the Bee Gees’ first Top 10 hit in the United States.
Though not released as a single, “Every Second, Every Minute” remains a fan-favorite deep cut, admired for its emotional sincerity and classic Bee Gees harmony.
The production reflects the Bee Gees’ transition from their baroque-pop style of the late 1960s into a more soulful and mature sound of the 1970s.
