The Deeper the Love
"The Deeper the Love" is a power ballad by the English hard rock band Whitesnake, taken from their 1989 album Slip of the Tongue. It was written by singer David Coverdale, along with guitarist Adrian Vandenberg.[3] OverviewCoverdale commented on the origins of the song in Slip of the Tongue 20th anniversary edition liner notes by saying:
"The Deeper the Love" was released as the album's second single in early 1990. It was a Top 40 chart success in the UK, the US, Canada and Ireland. It also reached number 4 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks charts in the US. The song was performed in its original form for the 1990 Slip of the Tongue tour, but after that it has only been performed in acoustic form, which was first seen and heard on 1998's Starkers in Tokyo. Music videoThe music video for "The Deeper the Love" was directed by Marty Callner. It features the band performing on a large stage, with big headlights that also have the Slip of the Tongue album cover on them. There are also scenes of David Coverdale in a hallway that also have walls covered with Slip of the Tongue's cover, and Adrian Vandenberg playing the piano on a stairwell. The video features David Coverdale's then-wife, actress Tawny Kitaen, who has also appeared in the music videos for "Is This Love", "Here I Go Again '87" and "Still of the Night", all from the band's previous album.
