I have a theory that says the only reason people liked "How Deep Is Your Love" so much is that it was juxtaposed next to all the disco on the Bee Gees' album Saturday Night Fever. You know, like how in high school I only hung out with guys uglier than me...so I would look good in comparison. (Of course, there were only two guys in the whole school who met that qualification.)
Another possible point of interest in the song might be this #FunFact divulged by Rolling Stone:
The Bee Gees' work for Saturday Night Fever was recorded during a famed two-and-a-half-week-long session at a chateau in northern France, where, according to Barry Gibb, "six classic lesbian porno scenes [were] filmed."
For the Record:
1. I'm fairly certain the porno scenes were not filmed at the same time the Bee Gees were recording.
2. Now that I'm aware of this connection, I'm wondering which movie they meant "How Deep Is Your Love" to be part of.
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?
I'm just sayin'!
