Every Day
Hazell Dean · Other Songs - Hazell Dean
It's You who give me life
And I can't explain just how
How much you mean to me
Now that You would save me, Lord
I give all that I am to You
That every day I can be a light that shines your name
Be a light that shines your name
Every day, Lord
I'll learn to stand upon your word
And I pray that,
I might come to know you more
That you would guide me
In every step I take, Lord
That every day I can
Be a light unto the world
Chorus
Every day, It's you I'll live for
Every day, I'll follow after you
Every day, I'll walk with You, my Lord
It's you I live for every day...
Every Day - Hazell Dean
Hazell Dean's 'Every Day' stands as a defining track from her early solo career, capturing the raw emotional intensity characteristic of her work in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The song exemplifies the genre of English new wave and synth-pop that dominated the era, blending melodic sensibilities with a driving rhythm that became a staple of her discography. Released during a period where she was establishing her identity outside of her earlier fame with The Housemartins, the recording showcases her signature vocal style and songwriting approach. It remains a notable song in her catalogue, reflecting the atmospheric production and lyrical themes of the time. The track has since been recognized as a key piece in understanding the evolution of her musical output and the broader landscape of British pop music from that decade.
