It was written for the soundtrack of the 1979 British animated adventure drama film Watership Down, and was later used in the television series of the same name explicitly as its theme song. The track appears on British and European versions of Garfunkel's 1979 Fate for Breakfast and on the US versions of his 1981 album Scissors Cut. It was the biggest-selling single of 1979 in the UK, remaining at number one for six weeks and selling over a million copies there. Richard Adams, author of the original novel is reported to have hated the song.[1] BackgroundThe song was written, produced and arranged by Mike Batt for Watership Down, with original director John Hubley requesting a song about death.[2] It plays when the rabbit Hazel, the lead character in the film, almost dies after being wounded by a farmer's gun and Fiver, his little brother is led to him by the Black Rabbit of Inlé. The song was very successful in the United Kingdom, staying at number one in the UK Singles Chart for six weeks in 1979,[3] selling over one million copies, becoming the biggest-selling single of the year.[4] In the United States, it failed to reach the Billboard Hot 100. It reached #27 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. Charts

It's from the late 70s, about talking rabbits, and it's a very grounded-in-reality book. It's not a kids' book, but it has to do with these talking rabbits and their adventure, and there's a lot of metaphors and crazy stuff. And that's always been a very inspiring thing. If ever I'm feeling dry, or going through writer's block or something, I just even leaf through some pages of that book and I'm like "Whoa, I have to go make music!" |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150128025147/http://www.4music.com/news/interviews/A-QA-with-Owl-City |archivedate=January 28, 2015 |df= }} External links
