I've always identified with the strong and independent woman archetype, and they've often appeared in my songs. "Every Little Thing" explores a loneliness inherent in that independence, but also the comfort we can find in the familiar. The stars may not burn that bright in your neck of the woods, but at least they're your stars, and it's your woods. There are times in our lives when we just have to find strength in what we know best, and there's times that challenge us to use that strength. On a quiet night, beneath a big clear sky, someone looks up and hopes for something more, yet still finds peace in what they have.
lyrics
SHE WAS EVERYTHING HE WANTED IN A VELVET DRESS
HALF A LITTLE THING, BUT I MUST CONFESS
THAT SHE WAS OVER YOU
BEFORE THE NIGHT WAS THROUGH
EVERY LITTLE THING SHE WANTED BUT A LOVE AFFAIR
HALF A NIGHT OF ANYONE TO TAKE HER THERE
AND NOW SHE’S OVERDUE;
SHE STILL CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S TRUE
AND WITH EVERY DAY THAT PASSES BY
THERE’S ANOTHER LITTLE REASON TO STAY
ANOTHER HIGHWAY EXIT TO ANYWHERE BUT HERE
WHERE THE STARS AT NIGHT DON’T BURN SO BRIGHT
BUT THEY CAN TAKE AWAY THE STING
OF EVERY LITTLE THING
HER FRIENDS WERE ALWAYS SAYING
SHE COULD BE A STAR
WORKING SECOND SHIFT SHE KNEW
SHE’D NEVER GET THAT FAR
BUT A GIRL CAN DREAM, HER FACE ON A MAGAZINE
AND ON THE QUIET NIGHTS SHE WONDERS
IF THERE’S MORE THAN THIS
IS IT TOO LATE FOR ANOTHER CHANCE
AT HAPPINESS
WHAT’S A GIRL TO DO
WHEN THIS WORLD WAS ALL SHE KNEW
BUT WITH EVERY DAY THAT PASSES BY
THERE’S ANOTHER LITTLE REASON TO STAY
ANOTHER ONE WAY TICKET TO NOWHERE FAST COME AND GONE
WHERE THE STARS AT NIGHT DON’T BURN SO BRIGHT
BUT THEY CAN TAKE AWAY THE STING
OF EVERY LITTLE THING
AND SO WITH EVERY DAY THAT PASSED HER BY
THERE WAS ANOTHER LITTLE REASON TO STAY
ANOTHER HIGHWAY EXIT TO ANYWHERE BUT HERE
WHERE THE STARS AT NIGHT THAT BURNED TOO BRIGHT
COULD HAVE TAKEN AWAY THE STING
OF EVERY LITTLE THING

A criminally underrated album of a criminally underrated and underexposed genre. The production values here are so authentically 1980s. A good balance of traditional hard rock, synths, and strong melodies, with a spooky yet nostalgic feel, with the songs carefully curated for a strong experience start to finish. For those lonely nights, stuck in your bedroom, reminiscing days gone by: listen to this. cosmopolis
