Heartfelt And True: "Everything I Do" Cover

A movie studio commissioned a composer to write "Everything I Do" for Kevin Costner's Film, "Prince of Thieves." Bryan Adams, with his producer Mutt Lange, wrote the lyrics, bridge, arrangement, and outro. Adams used a line from the movie for the song title.

The studio did not like the instrumentation in the finished product. They buried it midway in the credits, not anticipating what a huge hit the song would become.

"Everything I Do" is one of the most successful singles of all time, selling over 3 million copies. It was #1 for 16 weeks in England and seven weeks in the United States.

Please enjoy my cover with background instrumentation by Giovanni Egusquiza.

"Everything I Do, I Do It For You"

Look into my eyes, you will see what you mean to me. Search your heart, search your soul? When you find you search no more. Don't tell me it's not worth trying for? Can't tell me it's not worth trying for? You know it's true. Everything I do, I do it for you? Look into your heart, you will find there's nothing there to hide? Take me as I am, take my life? I would give it all, I would sacrifice? Don't tell me it's not worth fighting for? I can't help it? There's nothing I want more? You know it's true?

Everything I do, I do it for you? There's no love like your love? And no other could give more love? There's nowhere unless you're there all the time on the way? You can't tell me it's not worth trying for? I can't help it? There's nothing I want more? Yeah. I would fight for you? I would like for you. Walk the wild feel, yeah, die for you? You know it's true, Everything I do? Whoa. Do it for you.
