Bright Eyes (Art Garfunkel song)
"Bright Eyes" is a song written by Mike Batt, and performed by Art Garfunkel. It was used in the soundtrack of the 1978 British animated adventure drama film ''Watership Down'' and as such is considered the theme song of the film and the later television series also titled ''Watership Down''. The track appears on UK 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.
==Background==
Written by Mike Batt for ''Watership Down'' at the request of director Martin Rosen, the song relates to the transition into death highlighted by the close shave of Hazel, a rabbit character in the film, when he is shot by a farmer, and then, years later, when Hazel (then Hazel-rah) finally departs his body and enters the world of spirit.
The song was immensely successful in the United Kingdom, staying at number one in the UK Singles Chart for six weeks in 1979, selling over one million copies, becoming the biggest selling single of that year in the UK. It has sold 1.2 million copies. In the United States, it failed to reach the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. It reached #27 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.
