Description
“How Deep Is Your Love” by the Bee Gees is one of the group’s most beloved ballads and one of the standout songs from the Saturday Night Fever era. Written by Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb, and Maurice Gibb, the song was released as a single in September 1977 by RSO Records and later became part of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. It was produced by the Bee Gees, Karl Richardson, and Albhy Galuten. (Wikipedia)
Musically, “How Deep Is Your Love” is a smooth soft rock and R&B ballad, very different from the high-energy disco sound often associated with Saturday Night Fever. The song is built around the Bee Gees’ signature vocal harmonies, with Barry Gibb on lead vocals, harmony vocals, backing vocals, and rhythm guitar, Robin Gibb on harmony and backing vocals, and Maurice Gibb on bass guitar, harmony, and backing vocals. Additional instrumentation includes electric guitar by Alan Kendall, drums and percussion by Dennis Bryon, keyboards, synthesizer, and Rhodes piano by Blue Weaver, percussion by Joe Lala, and string arrangements by Wade Marcus. (Wikipedia)
The song became a major international success. In the United States, it reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on December 25, 1977, stayed in the Top 10 for 17 weeks, and spent six weeks at No. 1 on the US adult contemporary chart. It also reached No. 3 in the United Kingdom and Australia, becoming one of the Bee Gees’ most enduring romantic songs. (Wikipedia)
One curiosity is that “How Deep Is Your Love” is often linked to the disco explosion of the late 1970s because of Saturday Night Fever, but the song itself is a tender ballad rather than a disco track. Another interesting detail is that Barry Gibb described it as his favorite Bee Gees song in a 2001 Billboard interview. The song was also voted The Nation’s Favourite Bee Gees Song by ITV viewers in a 2011 British TV special and was ranked by Rolling Stone among the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. (Wikipedia)
Lyrics
I know your eyes in the morning Sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love
How deep is your love, how deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You're my saviour when I fall
And you may not think that I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love
How deep is your love, how deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
Da da da da da
Da da da da, da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love
How deep is your love, how deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
Da da da da da
How deep is your love, how deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
Da da da da da
How deep is your love, how deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
