The Bird and The Bee: "How Deep is Your Love"

The Bird and The Bee are a duo, male and female, who have remade The Bee Gee's song of the same title. The song is wonderful. Unlike most remakes, the song seems to be such a reinvention of the '70s song, that, after hearing The Bee Gee's version again, it seems as if the original version is a medicore copy.

What makes the song truly unique is the woman's voice (yes, this is a blog, after searching for it, I've already forgotten). It's deeply feminine: vulnerable and steady and open to the possibilities of love, which makes it fragile and quivering.

It's a touching song. The delicate lyrics, song slowly, remind me, whenever I hear it, that the type of love this song is about is rare. So rare, the song is likely an idealized version of what love is, rather than the reality of what a relationship often is. Nonetheless, it's this idealized version of love that I think is likely inherent in us all.
