Lyrically Speaking for April 28

Welcome back to the return of Lyrically Speaking! Since

it's been a while, I'll quickly re-introduce this part of Copious Notes. Music is really poetry set to sound. It can inspire and really move us emotionally. The purpose of these posts is to help generate the spark of an idea that may hit you.

So with that said, today we're featuring a song that happened to come up on my iPod last week that just has a great melody but also passionate lyrics. I'm not a big fan of middle-of-the-road generic rock but I make an exception for The Calling.

From the album Two this is Anything by The Calling:

I will be there Always waiting Waiting for you To let me inside Where your fire burns In a city of angels Just like a river rushing straight into the sea I'm the one thing meant for you and you for me

[CHORUS:] Whatever you want Whatever you need Whatever it takes, I'll do anything

And as you sleep Eyes to the window I'm watching you dream Well are you dreaming of me? So why can't you see You're all that matters You know if this earth should crack I'll be your solid ground I will be there to catch you when you fall down

[CHORUS]

If I have to crawl Get down on my knees Whatever it takes, I'll go anything

I'd take the stars right out of the sky for you I'd end the world give you the sun, the moon For all of time, forever loving you

Whatever you need Whatever it takes, I'll do anything If I have to crawl Get down on my knees Whatever it takes, I'll do anything
