New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The Gary Douglas Band has released the song "Deep in the Water (Redeux)". It starts off with some electric and acoustic guitar chords, with the listener waiting to find out what the song will be about.
Gary Douglas wrote the song about the company DuPont, who infamously allowed dangerous chemicals to be dumped into the Ohio River. This became a popular subject in the media, with an unrelated movie called Dark Waters being released to cover it (the song was written before the movie and is unaffiliated to it).

The chorus is catchy, focusing mostly on one phrase, where Douglas sings: "Those tears are flowing deep in the water/Flowing deep in the water/Flowing deep in the water/Flowing deep in the water". This chorus succeeds in letting the listener realize the importance of that line, with the water being a reference to the Ohio River.

The instrumentation helped guide this song. Upon listening, I could understand the intensity of the subject matter by listening to the use of the electric guitar throughout the sound. Additionally, the passion heard in Gary Douglas' voice also enhanced the song.
