about

There is a lot I could say about this song. I've played and played and played it for a very long time and "Deeper Than Oceans" has always been the title. The short version is that I'm using that title to refer to love. The longer answer would delve deep into what KIND of love I'm talking about. I won't subject you to that. And besides, even my own theory on that changes the more I play it. This is one of those songs that came from somewhere very deep inside of me (deeper than an ocean) that I have trouble explaining.

I've been playing this as a bass solo since the 1990s. At least 25 years. No kidding. I played it a lot at a church I used to attend before rehearsals and between things. So much so that about a decade after I'd stopped going to that church I ended up working with one of the sound engineers from there again and he asked me to play it because he hadn't heard it in so long. I obliged.

In my heart I'll always love this as a bass solo. But in my head I've always heard drums and some light chording behind it. I went with my head on this one. And I think my heart led me to do it.
