Everywhere I Look
Daryl Hall · Other Songs - Daryl Hall
We have an understanding but that can't carry soul far enough
Green flag is rising and baby green means go
New world on the horizon
And who deserves the love more than you
More than me
Both of us
Can't you see
Everywhere I look I see people waking up
So why are we still sleeping
Everywhere I look I see people shaking off all the old ways
So why can't we follow through
What we believe has got to be more than the words of our friends
Honey I love the life but I'd fight for our world not to end
Green flag is rising and baby green means go
There's something on the horizon
And who deserves to know more than you
More than me
All of us
Can't you see
Everywhere I look I see people waking up
So why are we still sleeping
Everywhere I look I see people shaking off all the old ways
So why can't we follow through
Everywhere I Look
Daryl Hall's 'Everywhere I Look' stands as a defining track from the early 1980s, showcasing the smooth, soulful R&B and pop sensibilities that would characterize his career alongside his frequent collaborator John Oates. The song exemplifies the era's polished production style, blending lush harmonies with a rhythmic groove that became a staple of mainstream radio. As part of Hall's extensive discography, the recording reflects the transition of the duo from their earlier work into a sound that prioritized melodic accessibility and emotional depth. The track remains a significant example of the soft rock and adult contemporary genres of the period, capturing the romantic and introspective themes often explored in their catalog. Its enduring appeal lies in its timeless composition and the vocal delivery that cemented Hall's status as a leading figure in American pop music.
