1. Hobbit was a short-lived British rock band of the 1970s fronted by the prolific songwriter David Mindel. It seemed like Mindel used a different band name for every song he wrote in the early 1970s. Hobbit was established immediately after he had issued singles with Just Plain Jones and Esprit de Corps. The only single under the Hobbit moniker was 1972's 'Only Friends' b/w 'Everything's Turning Out Fine', on Fury Records. Mindel then moved on to become a highly successful industry songwriter, penning Eurovision entries as well as jingles for McDonald's and Cadbury's, amongst others.
Everywhere
Hobbit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That will change the way we are
Don't be out there wonderin', cautious as an Ent,
Just keep followin' your heart
Colors of time in the fall
Like messengers over the wall
When nobody knows where you've gone
Leave 'em a sign for the road you're on
All of them received a knock upon their door
Think about the power in the friends you share
You'll forever take it with you everywhere . . . everywhere
Something is in motion here, we are not alone
Hear the symphony inside?
Signs that I've been looking for, have come into the light
Bringing passion to my eyes
I am at home in the Shire
With a spirit that burns like a fire
There is a reason to question
'Cause there is a doubt in the great beyond
Command your spirit, it will take you high
But keep it on an island, and it's bound to die
Listen to the piper, let it take you there
Magic in that music's going everywhere . . . everywhere
Synchronize the artist, and the will to win
Go for such a mission that your dreams extend
Take a breath of courage, in the morning air
For there's a word that has no limit: Everywhere!
The lyrics of the song "Everywhere" by Hobbit are about embarking on a journey that has the power to change the way one perceives life. The song talks about the importance of following one's heart and not being cautious like an Ent, a tree-like creature from J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" series. The fall is considered as the time when the colors of the season act as messengers and indicate the changes to come. When nobody knows where one is going, the song advises to leave a sign for the road they're on.
The song tells the listener to "Think about the dreamers who've been here before." This line refers to past dreamers who faced obstacles but chose to keep moving forward. There is power in the friends one shares as they stay with a person throughout their lifetime, and they'll take it everywhere they go. The singer states that something is in motion and that they are not alone, they hear a symphony inside them. The signs that they've been looking for have come into the light, and this brings passion to their eyes. They feel at home in the Shire and have a spirit that burns like a fire.
The song is about seizing the moment and not being held back by self-doubt. A person's spirit can take them anywhere, but it needs to be harnessed correctly. The song advises to listen to the piper, let the music take them there since the magic in the music is going everywhere. The song also advises synchronizing the artist and the will to win and going for a mission that extends beyond their dreams. It ends with the advice to take a breath of courage in the morning air and go everywhere since there's nowhere the word "Everywhere" can't reach.
