How Deep Is Your Love – Bee Gees

Introduction

“How Deep Is Your Love,” the Bee Gees’ timeless ballad that sends shivers down spines and ignites dance floors like molten lava. But this disco anthem, immortalized in the “Saturday Night Fever” soundtrack, holds a history as rich and layered as its melody.

Born in 1977, the song wasn’t initially intended for the Bee Gees. Brothers Barry and Robin Gibb were composing with producer Arif Mardin when Barry, struck by inspiration, sang the now-iconic opening lines. The brothers quickly realized they had something special, channeling their signature harmonies into a tapestry of devotion and vulnerability.

Though originally considered for Yvonne Elliman, the Bee Gees ultimately kept the song for themselves. And thank goodness they did! Its release ignited a disco inferno. The track topped charts worldwide, becoming the group’s biggest hit to date and securing their place in disco royalty.

But “How Deep Is Your Love” transcends genre. Its lyrics, a heartfelt exploration of unwavering love’s boundless depths, resonate with listeners across generations and backgrounds. The Bee Gees’ soaring vocals, punctuated by Barry’s signature falsetto, weave a sonic tapestry that’s both intimate and expansive.

Whether swaying to the rhythm or lost in its emotional embrace, “How Deep Is Your Love” promises a journey. It’s a timeless hymn to devotion, a disco-infused declaration that love’s depths may be unfathomable, but its power undeniable. So, prepare to be swept away, captivated by a melody that whispers secrets of the heart and ignites the soul. This is “How Deep Is Your Love,” and it’s ready to take you on a journey you won’t soon forget.

Lyrics

I know your eyes in the mornin’ sun
I feel you touch me in the pourin’ 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 livin’ in a world of fools
Breakin’ 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 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 livin’ in a world of fools
Breakin’ us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na

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 (I really mean to learn)
‘Cause we’re livin’ in a world of fools
Breakin’ us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
(Na-na-na-na-na)

How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
‘Cause we’re livin’ in a world of fools
Breakin’ us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
(Na-na-na-na-na)

How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
‘Cause we’re livin’ in a world of fools
Breakin’ us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
