Story Behind The Song
Wanted to combine Beatle influence with a very contemporary feel for verse and
"C" section. The lyrics are philosophical and offer insight into the serendipity of life.
Song Description
Really cool and hooky chorus with real strings combined with a syncopated verse with a chord pattern which is unique and contemporary. Guitar solo like Harrison meets Lennon, performed by The Hooters' Eric Bazilion. Lots of harmonies, all sung by Shore in his old Dialogue style.

Lyrics
Anything Can Change Everything
CHORUS
Anything, anything can change everything.
Anything, anything can change everything.
Why does it take an avalanche to move the mountain?
Why does it take a flood to find the higher ground?
Why does it take a cliff to stop the fool from running?
With his head up in the clouds?
CHORUS
Anything, anything can change everything.
Anything, anything can change everything.
You finally realize where the road was headed
And that your paradise isn't right around the bend.
You stop pretending that tomorrow brings an answer
That you must find today.
CHORUS
Anything, anything can change everything.
Anything, anything can change everything.
C SECTION
The thing you do today will change your life forever
A ripple in the bathtub, a tidal wave at sea
Fires burn in Africa, a boy can't breathe in France
Any, everything
BREAK
Why wait for crisis to convince your soul to change?
Why beg catastrophe for life to rearrange?
Why waste another moment with a heartless gesture
That keeps you from your love?
CHORUS
