"Melody Fair" is a song by the Bee Gees, written by Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb in 1968 and released in 1969 on their album Odessa.
So we'd turn up at seven at night, and we'd basically start writing and cutting the backing track of a song that wasn't finished.

[4] This is one of a handful of songs to make some use of Barry Gibb singing in a falsetto voice, which would become a featured part of the Bee Gees' sound starting with their 1975 hit single "Nights on Broadway".
It was not released as a single in the US and UK, but become a favourite of fans and later appeared on the band's compilation album Best of Bee Gees, Volume 2.
Donald A. Guarisco at Allmusic describes this song as "a graceful melody that makes them sound like a grand, mournful proclamation".
