"All of My Life" is a song by the English-Australian rock group Bee Gees, written and sung by Barry Gibb, which was used as the B-side of "Monday's Rain". This song was recorded during the sessions for their second album Spicks and Specks and appeared on the early pressings of the album, entitled Monday's Rain as the first song on side two, When the album's name was changed to Spicks and Specks, the song was omitted.[1]
The song eventually saw album release by Atco Records on Rare, Precious & Beautiful, Volume 2, a 1970 album of early recordings by the Gibb brothers, including some recorded with Colin Petersen.[2] It is a typical rock track, strongly influenced by The Beatles.
Its debut on CD was released on the compilation Brilliant from Birth, released in 1998 only in Australia. A cover has been done by Filipino band Side A.
