"Everything" by Michael Buble

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.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/Michael/everything.html ]
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

   I chose the song "Everything" by Michael Buble to analyse for homework. I chose this song for many reasons! First, I've liked this song for a long time and I think it's a really sweet. It also has a nice melody. Secondly, because I've found that it has a lot of poetic devices. In the song, he is talking about the girl he loves and how wonderful she is to him. He uses metaphors to compare her to things he enjoys such as a swimming pool on an August day , a carousel, and a wishing well. He also uses the metaphors "You're the get away car" and "You're the line in the sand when I go too far" to show how she protects him. She is also compared to a "falling star" describing how beautiful she is. He also says how mysterious she is and how he doesn't always understand her when he says "You're from outer space" comparing her to an alien. There is a lot of imagery when he uses those words too.  The listener can picture all the objects he's comparing her to. He also talks about they can get through anything together because their love is so strong when he says, "Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through, cause you know that what our love can do".

   The rhyme scheme is different for the verses and the chorus. The verses are an AABB rhyme scheme while the chorus is an ABB rhyme scheme. Almost all of the lines are caesuras.  He repeats the word "you" and "you're" a lot during the songs and it stresses about the girl. Also, the repetition of the "lalala" makes it sound like he's crazy in love which is the mood of the song.  He just compares the girl to things he loves over and over again which makes it clear how much he adores her. It is a very romantic and sweet song that I love to listen to! The song clearly get the message through that she is his everything.
