"You're My Everything" multimedia:

• Comments from reviewers & Tal:
• "a love song so obvious that it must be tongue in cheek.""No, not at all," he says, "Just pure pop romantic shamelessness." "You're My Everything" contains such shamelessness as "oh baby", the mention of "cupid", the cliche "love is blind" and a sweeping string section. "I wanted to write a big love song," says Bachman. "I didn't think of it as going for a cliche, but I heard the Van Morrison 'Have I Told You Lately That I Love You' and it's this simple, beautiful grandiose thing."
• He pauses, then gets more philosophical about his reason for writing "You're My Everything". "We have a great history of the love song. 400 years. And now we have the sex song, the intercourse song. Every love song is like sooner or later, they're grunting and moaning. (Sings in falsetto) 'Ooh baby, when I'm inside you.' It's like the triumph of the male fantasy, love completely devoid of consequence or that's entirely obsessed with the actual act of sexual intercourse.
• haunting, intoxicating beauty of "You're My Everything," a soaring love song featuring Bachman's crooning vocal, a breathtaking string score by Bachman and legendary arranger Paul Buckmaster, and a seductive slidesolo.
