Everyday (Close Reading)

Everyday by Dave Matthews Band

Pick me up, love!
(Pick me up, love)
Hey, how long, how long, how long (everday)
Everyday, ah

Pick me up, oh, from the bottom
Up to the top, love, everyday
Pay no mind to taunts or advance
I take my chances on everyday

Left to right
Up and down, love
I push up love, love everyday
Jump in the mud, oh
Get your hand dirty with
Love it up on everyday

All you need is
All you want is
All you need is love.
All you need is
What you want is
All you need is love.

Everyday
Everyday
Oh, everyday...

Pick me up, love, from the bottom
Up onto the top, love, everyday
Pay no mind to taunts or advances
I'm gonna take my chances on everyday

Left to right
Up and up inside out right
Good love firght for everyday
Jump in the mud, mud
Get your hand filthy, love
Give it up, love
Everyday

All you need is
All you want is
All you need is love.
All you need is
What you want is
All you need is love.
Oh...

What you've got
Lay it down on me

All you need is
All you want is
All you need is love.
All you need is
What you want is
All you need is love.

Everyday

Oh, everyday...

Pick me up love
Lift me up love

Everyday...

Up from the bottom, everyday
Up to the top love, everyday
Pick me up love
Lift me up love
Pick me up love

So most of you saw this music video in class when I presented it, but if you haven't, you should check it out on YouTube, it's just ridiculously amazing!

How many of us need to be reminded on a daily basis that life doesn't suck as bad as it may seem at the moment? I know I do!

This song is good because it reminds me that no matter how badly things seem to be falling apart, love is always there and love can take us out of the worst of moods and sometimes even the worst of situations.

It reminds me to take a step back, breathe, relax, and return the love.

So if you're ever having a bad day, I suggest you watch this video =)

And if you're not into this type of music and maybe say, metal, or something else. This is wayyyy more relaxing! haha :D
