Here I Go Again by Whitesnake

About

David Coverdale on ‘Here I Go Again’: It’s an old song that I wrote about the breakdown of my first marriage. I had rented a villa in Algarve – the southern coast of Portugal – with my young daughter, and my wife and I ended up sleeping in separate rooms. We just went from being the best of friends to not being the best of friends. And ‘Here I Go Again’ was about that. I’m only inspired by events in my life, to document. There are three themes that are really prevalent – I had given up arguing with myself years ago about love songs because every time i sit down, it’s never with the intentions of writing a love song. But now everyone has a ‘Here I Go Again’ story, about a time in their life – either a sad time or a joyful time.
