Thought you had
all the answers
to rest your heart upon.
But something happens,
don't see it coming, now
you can't stop yourself.
Now you're out there swimming...
In the deep.
In the deep.

Life keeps tumbling your heart in circles
till you... Let go.
Till you shed your pride, and you climb to heaven,
and you throw yourself off.
Now you're out there spinning...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.

And now you're out there spinning...
And now you're out there spinning...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.

in the silence
all your secrets
raise their weary heads
and you can't pin yourself
back together
with who you thought you were.
Now you're out there livin'...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.

In the deep...

Now you're out there spinning...
Now you're out there swimming...
Now you're out there spinning...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep...

OK, while your point is a good one, I think Bird deserves better.  This is first rate.  Actually, I think her voice is just OK; this is simply a great arrangement, a great song.  She's got a lot of edge to her music.  For someone with a small output, she is batting like 750 and is a truly remarkable artist in my opinion.
 
Well said, Sir.

Okay - Beautiful voice - for all those RP posters constantly complaining about the rock and roll voices of some of the world's greatest songwriters from Springsteen to Costello to Vedder to of course Young, Dylan and Waits.

So what we get is a pretty voice, pretty song, nice lyrics but all in all - pretty pedestrian music - that will fade away eventually while the great work of those listed above and who supposedly can't sing -  lives on forever.

 
To hear YOU tell it.  Sadly mistaken. There are equal and lesser artists RP plays, that are still kicking it strong. Not to deny the former portion of your post but, the latter portion, I'm sure, you shall find mistaken.

Nice evening... Mostly -8-s and a couple of clunkers...Also another  $100 spent at Amazon...
All I can add is "Thanks for the ride-!"... RP is a lovely, albeit expensive, pleasure...
It could be worse... I could be collecting single malts, single casks, vintage wines, beautiful women...
Instead, I have chosen song... This has the advantage of a pleasure enjoyed now and again and again...

I know what you mean, and I don't put her in the same category as those other artists, but she arrived in a different era than those artists did - an era of music/media saturation, where everything is portable, fleeting, and ultimately disposable.  Also, I'd be surprised if any great numbers of people remember anything by those other artists fifty years hence: forever is a pretty long time.

So odious to compare. One man's shite is another man's truffle, I say.
As for me, I had to get out of the tub to find out who she is and what that song was.

When I heard this song on radio paradise, I remebered that I heard it on House MD, but I didn' remember which episode, it used in season autopsy. This song is awesome, and very soft and calm, the lyrics and the song go hand in hand.

I can help out with an upload since i have it in CD qual. However, considering Kanno's track reckord of rejections here it could be that Bill might not be much of a fan. Both songs are excellent end credit tracks though. =)

Posted 18 years ago by mamashannon    [ Reply ]
Okay, yes, this song is very moving... But please, people, it's so derivative of Yoko Kanno's "Blue" (from the Cowboy Bebop Soundtrack, 1999) that it's pathetic. "Blue", the emotional and ambient ending to the Cowboy Bebop series, begins with absolutely stirring vocal harmonies, then moves into a soul-wrenching vocal roller-coaster ride (by Mai Yamane) that, let's face it, makes the admittedly wonderful Bird York sound like an amateur lounge act. Perhaps what's disappointing about hearing "In the Deep" is not hearing "Blue"....or hearing just enough of it in Bird York to be frustrated. I'll check to see if Bill has "Blue". If not, I'll upload it. And I'll stop rambling.

Damn great film! :) As soon as I heard the first note my mind was racing trying to figure out where I had heard it. Only saw crash for the first time about a week ago, loved it. Extremely sad and deep due to the strong honesty that is in place. Nevertheless, indie film of the year in my book.
