Everything You Want...

I just got back from our company beach trip and It was definitely a blast. Most of the details of which, I will talk about in a later post. I brought my bongos and my acoustic guitar just in case some people wanted to jam during the afternoon. Although I was mostly jamming using my bongos, I did pick up my guitar and played and sang one song.

This particular song was relevant to me long ago. I just love the way how there's a spin on the chorus on the last stanza of the song. Although the song no longer has any current relevance in my life, it is still fun to play and definitely a crowd pleaser (and I know very few crowd pleasing songs mind you as I'm more a percussionist, rather than a guitarist and/or vocalist).

I only found one exact result in my search for the music video of this song on YouTube which was posted by Sony BMG. It's unfortunate that they disabled the option to embed the video anywhere else. So I ended up picking one of the AMVs (Anime Music Video) with the song as its soundtrack. Since I love Naruto, I picked the Naruto AMV. Here is the AMV below along with the song's prose.



Everything You Want
by Vertical Horizon

Somewhere there's speaking
It's already coming in
Oh and it's rising at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now you're here and you don't know why
But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won't return

He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why

You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away
There's always another wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say

He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why

But you'll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waiting for

Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who won't return

He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why

I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why
And I don't know why
Why
I don't know...


Once again, I always find a different version of the song on YouTube. Below is a bootleg video of a live performance of the song by Vertical Horizon.



Cheese, you gotta love it at times. LOL!
