It allows the audience to look at a lifestyle which is misconstrued in most cases, and consider the issues raised in the show critically. For fans who love extraordinary characters and engaging plots, Big Love has been proven to be outstanding, given the best cast and an original story.
Lyrics (seasons 1-3)
I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I’ll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I’d be without you
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me
God only knows what I’d be without you (fade).
Lyrics (season 4)
Home
Is this my home
Been starting over
Bathe in the water.
