THE SONG

Okay to preface, when I was in 7th grade and 12 years old I would watch VHI and wait for them to play and re-play Bryan Adams's (Everything I do) I do it for you (mind you this was 1994-1995 and the song was about 4 years old, but still) and dream of my crush and swear that the day I got married my future husband and I would dance to this as our first song. Well eventually the years went by and I, alas did marry and did not dance to (Everything I do) I do it for you, but it still gives me that 7th grade me that special feeling (sad I know). Also the guitar solo in the middle of the song always makes me bust out my air guitar (c'mon, you know you do it too).

P.S. How awesome is the bad-assery that is Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham in this video. 7th grade me still gets goosebumps when Robin Hood crashes through the window and save Maid Marion as she is being attacked. Embarrassed to say I still swoon at this... geesh.

  1. Oh my goodness, I am right there with you! I used to listen to a copy I recorded OFF THE RADIO all the time. To this day, if I hear it I can't help but feel all *gushy* inside. The men in our lives will never understand the power Bryan Adams hold over a 12 year (or in my case...a 29 year old) girl!

  3. I loved this song when it first came out and I still do. I have older cousins who owned his albums (possibly tapes back then, haha) and we played them constantly.
