Big Head Todd and The Monsters – singer-guitarist Todd Park Mohr, bassist-singer Rob Squires, drummer-singer Brian Nevin and keyboardist-guitarist-singer Jeremy Lawton -- could have begun resting on their laurels back in 1993, when their Top 10 singles “Bittersweet,” “Broken Hearted Savior,” “Circle” and “It’s Alright” pushed the album Sister Sweetly to platinum certification. However, Mohr says, “I’ve fought throughout our career not to be a one-trick pony, to be the kind of band that has depth and diversity in its catalogue. I’m a fan of this band, and I’m constantly looking forward to what comes next.”
The essence of Big Head Todd and The Monsters – a rootsy, emotionally direct variety of rock ’n’ roll that lends itself particularly well to a live setting – has been winning fans since Mohr, Rob Squires and Brian Nevin started playing together in high school (Jeremy Lawton joined in 2004). Needless to say, the three never expected to be in the same band at this late date, but, as Mohr points out, “It was a really fortunate combination of musical personalities, and we’re still partners in every sense of the word.”
The band spent seven years developing their chemistry and amassing a following, boosted significantly by the independent releases Another Mayberry (1989) and Midnight Radio (1990), before being “discovered” by the listening public at large with 1993’s Sister Sweetly. After a major-label stint (Sister Sweetly, 1994’s Stratagem, 1997’s Beautiful World), during which the trio increasingly found itself frustrated artistically, they reclaimed their independent status (2001’s Riviera, 2004’s Crimes of Passion). “If it were not for our ability to do things for ourselves, we would have disappeared a long time ago,” Mohr allows.
Everything About You
Big Head Todd and the Monsters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reaching to the skies above
Breaking through the great unknown
Rising up to take a stand
Higher than the highest has ever flown
Show me your secrets you don't show
I wanna know everything, I wanna know everything about you
I wanna know everything, I wanna know everything about you
Feel it like I've never felt before
Every ocean on the moon
Every ship to sail within
Journeys from the dark side to the bright
Every dream is making true
Every hope is pulling in
There's no distance too far to fly
I wanna know everything, I wanna know everything about you
Open up your heart and let me in
I wanna know everything, I wanna know everything about you
Feel it like I've never felt before
You know sometimes it ain't so easy to read your mind
You wore me out with your magic
Just one time
Let me see you as you are
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
I wanna know everything, I wanna know everything about you

I wanna know everything, I wanna know everything about you
Feel it like I've never felt before
I wanna know everything
Every ocean
Every moon
I wanna know
Every dream
I wanna
I wanna know everything
I wanna know everything
