Phillip LaRue, 17, and Natalie LaRue, 15, who came out with their debut album, La Rue on February 8, 2000, display a wisdom and maturity that undeniably reflects the sacrificial investment of other family members who are as much a part of this talented group as the two tender singer/songwriters themselves.

The pair also shines with a passionate love for their Savior, whom they are contagiously committed to sharing with their peers.

Working with producers Rick Elias, Mike Lenny and Ken Mary, LaRue has created a collection of songs that bely their few years in lyrical depth, and treat listeners to a vocal banquet, at once breathy soft, then almost growling with rich, honey-tinged strength. The group's sound lays warm, lilting harmonies atop fresh, energetic guitars, for a result that's closest to acoustic-based pop, but hints of modern rock on the edges. Both the sound and the songs are straight from the heart of teenagers to teenagers, with Phillip and Natalie co-writing every song on the album themselves, and trading lead vocals with no sign of sibling rivalry.

Everything
LaRue Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my life I can see so many thing tomorrow could bring
So many dreams tomorrow could dream
In my heart I don't know where this path will lead me
But I know I'm letting go 'cause

I'm tired, I'm tired of running alone
I'm tired, I'm tired of running alone

I give You everything, my heart, my hope
My dreams I laid them all on the floor
And when I laid them down, You gave me
Your crown of love that I've been waiting for

I have been waiting for a piece of love
That walks with me to lead me to what's unseen
I have been longing for truth to lead me
To You, my love 'cause

I'm tired, I'm tired of running alone
But I know, I know I'm never alone, never alone

I give You everything, my heart, my hope
My dreams I laid them all on the floor
And when I laid them down, You gave me
Your crown of love that I've been waiting for

I give You everything, my heart, my hope
My dreams I laid them all on the floor
And when I laid them down, You gave me
Your crown of love that I've been waiting for

I'm tired, I'm tired of running alone
But I know, I know I'm never alone, no

I give You everything, my heart, my hope
My dreams I laid them all on the floor
And when I laid them down, You gave me
Your crown of love that I've been waiting for

I give You everything, my heart, my hope
My dreams I laid them all on the floor
And when I laid them down, You gave me
Your crown of love that I've been waiting for

I've been waiting for You

I've been longing for love
You're everything to me
