Yester-day I happened across the phrase "the very depths of my soul" in a book I was reading. I knew that I knew those words set to music, but the song itself didn't come to me immediately. In between recognizing it and identifying it, I realized that the melody descends, as if to reflect the depths.
Eventually I realized that it's from Argent's "Bring You Joy" (although slightly different: "to the depths of my soul"). I checked the recording to confirm the notes. The "depths of my soul" part is a diatonic descent: F, Eb, D, C.
