Everything You Do
Album: Shades of Purple
Year: 2000
Marit Larsen thinks her boyfriend's mannerisms are awe-inspiring in the lush "Everything You Do."
Larsen and Marion Raven "ooh's" float over an airy keyboard arrangment. It sets an utopian tone. They shared a flirty gaze. When he asked her to come over and talk to him, she fell for him. He was her ideal. He was like a heartthrob featured in her Tiger Beat magazines. She realizes she is in love.
In the pre-chorus, she says that she can't think. She's focused entirely on him. He's the greatest guy ever to her. No one will be able to match him. When she dreams, they are going on dates and having fun.
She swoons inside at the way he holds a pen or says the word 'hello.'
Her parents as well as his are telling them to not to take their relationship seriously. They say it's a short-term thing and they will soon move on to other people. Her parents say expecting the fairytale of meeting in middle school and continuing through college graduation is unrealistic. People go through changes and expect different things from one another at certain points in their lives.
An abbreviated pre-chorus follows.
The chorus is sung twice.
The full pre-chorus is sung again.
The bridge is next. However, it's similar to the chorus. The same lyrics are used. The only change is a pause between the lyrics.
The chorus is sung twice to end the single.
The single's ethereal disco beat lightens the sugar content. With a couple of snazzy blips and well-placed synthesizers, the otherwise teenybopperish elements are transformed into house-lite. Larsen's
ingenuous vocals have some sass to them. However, "Everything You Do" has one major fault: lack of creativity. It stalls by the bridge. It's obvious the songwriter had run out of ideas and decided to insert the pre-chorus and chorus until the end. Instead of letting the dance beat take over in the bridge and setting new lyrics to it, the chorus is repeated again.

"From the moment you looked at me/And ever since you called my name/You've been everything that I've seen/And know I'm caught up in this game."

"My mind is spinning round and around/There's something special I have found/
Every time I close my eyes/All I can think of is you and me/Oh baby can't you see."
She swoons inside at the way he holds a pen or says the word 'hello.'
"That everything you do/Everything that you do/Makes me wanna go oh oh oh oh oh/Everything you say/
Everything that you say/Makes me wanna go oh oh oh oh oh."

"They're trying to build a fence/By saying that this won't last/They tell me I don't have a chance/That everything moves too fast."
