По умолчанию BEE GEES - ODESSA

В 1969 году эта изумительная команда выпустила свой четвёртый альбом который они назвали "Одесса". Считается чуть ли не лучшим.
Сравнивается - Some say Odessa was the band's Sgt Pepper; others say it was their White Album
Первая песня в альбоме называется
- ODESSA (CITY ON THE BLACK SEA).
Даже дураку понятно, что ODESSA (CITY ON THE BLACK SEA) это наша Одесса-Мама.
Какого чёрта они назвали альбом Одесса непонятно.
В песне нет ни слова об Одессе, городе на Чёрном море.
Единственноe обьяснение - много травы и бухла?
Многие критики не могут обьяснить какое отношение песня имеет к городу.

Of course, the Bee Gees could never refuse to follow the fashion: in accordance with the spirit of the times, Odessa was destined to be a bombastic concept album, with a grand story of love and loss and lots of references to Odessa the city in question. And, also in accordance with the spirit of the times, the concept crashed down somewhere in the midst of the recording sessions, leaving merely a bunch of disconnected songs that not only don't make any collective sense, but often don't make any individual sense either (yeah, this is mostly balladry, but the lyrics are often more nonsensical than the ones on their early "psychedelic" tunes). In addition to that, the band members had actively come to grips with each other and manager Robert Stigwood during the sessions, and in the end, this led to Robin splitting, Melouney and Peterson jumping ship, not wanting to get impaled on both sides, and the band effectively ceasing to exist for almost two years.

Если кто-то что-тo знает пусть откликнется.

Вот оригинальные слова песни

Fourteenth of February , eighteen ninety nine.
The British ship Veronica was lost without a sign.
Baa baa black sheep, you haven't any wool.
Captain Richardson left himself a lonely wife in Hull.

Cherub, I lost a ship in the Baltic sea.
I'm on an iceberg running free.
Sitting, filing this berg to the shape of a ship;
Sailing my way back to your lips.
One passing ship gave word that you have moved out of your old flat.
You love the Vicar more then words can say.
Tell him to pray that I won't melt away.
And I'll see your face again .

Odessa, How strong am I?
Odessa , How time goes by.

Treasure , you know the neighbours that live next door.
They haven't got their dog anymore.
Freezing, sailing around in the North Atlantic.
Can't seem to leave the sea anymore.
I just can't understand why you just moved to Finland.
You love that Vicar more then words can say.
Ask him to pray that I won't melt away.
And I'll see your face again.

Odessa, How strong am I?
Odessa, How time goes by.

Fourteenth of February , eighteen ninety nine.
The British ship Veronica was lost without a sign
