Anything
The Calling · The Very Best Of [2011]
Always waiting
Waiting for you
To let me inside
Where your fire burns
In a city of angels
Just like a river rushing straight into the sea
I'm the one thing meant for you and you for me
CHORUS:
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything
And as you sleep
Eyes to the window
I'm watching you dream
Well are you dreaming of me?
So why can't you see
You're all that matters
You know if this earth should crack
I'll be your solid ground
I will be there to catch you when you fall down
CHORUS
If I have to crawl
Get down on my knees
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything
I'd take the stars right out of the sky for you
I'd end the world give you the sun, the moon
For all of time, forever loving you
Whatever you need
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything
If I have to crawl
Get down on my knees
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything
Anything - The Calling
Released on the 2011 greatest hits compilation, "Anything" by The Calling serves as a poignant reflection on the band's journey from pop-rock sensation to mature songwriters. While the group gained global fame in the early 2000s with anthemic tracks like "Burn It Down," this recording demonstrates a shift toward more introspective themes, characteristic of their later work. The song features the band's signature blend of melodic pop and rock instrumentation, driven by lead vocalist Matt Bissonnette's emotive delivery. It stands alongside other tracks on the compilation that highlight their evolution as an artist, moving beyond their initial teen-pop image to explore deeper emotional landscapes. The recording captures the essence of The Calling's enduring appeal, balancing nostalgia with a refined musical approach that resonates with fans who have followed their discography over the years.
