Music Jazz : Michael Buble: Everything (single)

Editorial Review

Release date: 28 April 2007

The musician of choice for outer-suburban fashionistas (assuming Kath and Kim is an accurate portrayal of outer-suburban culture) returns doing what he does best with this melange of easy-listening, adult contemporary motifs.

Considering 'Buble has become a kind of adjective for all things kinda-not-that-cool, we'll try position this within the context of his other work. Produced by Metallica producer Bob Rock, of all people, this could represent the crooner's transition into MOR pop. Evoking the hook from Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton's hit Islands in the Stream, this is sure to strike a chord with lovers of inoffensive schamltz.


To be honest, I preferred it when the bloke was a Sinatra wannabe. At least he had a canon of tried-and-true croon classics to work with. Everything, which Buble co-wrote with Alan Chang and Amy Foster-Gillies is, well, kinda nothing really. It starts at a pace, stays at that pace and ends at that pace, with an arrangement that allows little room for dynamic movement in the vocal line. It probably doesn't matter, though - your mum will still want to shag him.

"Everything" Lyric

You're a falling star, you're the get away car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day.
And you're the perfect thing to say.

And you play it coy but it's kinda cute.
Ah, when you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
Baby don't pretend that you don't know it's true.
'cause you can see it when I look at you.

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday.

And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.
Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do.

[Chorus]

So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're every song, and I sing along.
'Cause you're my everything.
Yeah, yeah

So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
