Songfacts®:

This was the theme song to the hit motion picture The Deep, a film that takes place largely underwater. Summer's singing makes the song very alluring and at times haunting, although the lyrics tend to repeat themselves. The song was a major hit in Great Britain and western Europe, but only a minor one in the United States. >>>

John Barry, who wrote the score for The Deep, also wrote the music for this song. Summer added the lyrics.

Here I Go AgainWhitesnake

Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" is a very inspiring song, but it's really about heartbreak: David Coverdale wrote it when his first marriage was falling apart.

In the Belly song "Feed The Tree," the title is a reference to bodies buried under a large tree, thus feeding it. The song is about death, and also respect - take your hat off for those feeding the tree!
