| Hideaway is an album by America which was produced by George Martin. Included on the album is the song "Watership Down" by Gerry Beckley.
Beckley originally wrote "Watership Down" for an animated film version of Richard Adams's novel. Beckley based the lyrics on the book, but didn't want to give too much away as it was played at the beginning of the film. "So I had long, protracted evenings with my friend Harry Nilsson about it, 'cause he loved the book. He'd say, 'Play it again; that line's OK.' And piece by piece, he kind of pulled the song apart. Finally he said, 'I think the problem with the song is the title.'" Visitor Comments: |
