I want it all (single)

Oliver wrote this song in 2017, and was waiting for the right moment to release it. During the Covid lockdown, he listened again to some tracks he already had written and thought it was time to dust them off and get them out his computer drawers.

I want it all is the first single of his second album, to be released in 2021.

I want a lover to love me
I want a lover to hate me sometimes
When grey shadows would come in our way
We would face them all together
And go on

I want to hold hands in streets
And kiss with love when the moon rises up
To stand side-by-side with each other
For the good and the bad moments in life

But I got no time

Got to rehearse
Play late at night
And then work again
Sing other people’s songs
Made more famous than mine

But they cannot express
Nor my mood nor my mind

I want it all for me
Maybe it’s too much for asking
I want to be in love, you see
I would give you all you’d need

I want to go on a journey
Guided by nothing but love
Just a way to go by with somebody
That would walk next to me by my side

I’m not sure that it will happen
Some day soon that I could enjoy
For now there are just me and my hands
Playing some melodies of love

But I got no time
Got to rehearse
Play late at night
And then work again
Sing other people’s songs
Made more famous than mine
But they cannot express
Nor my mood nor my mind

I want it all for me
Maybe it’s too much for asking
I want to be in love, you see
I would give you all you’d need

But I can’t love and live from my music
I guess I have to chose between the two
And stay on my own, just keep on writing
I will have to wait to find love, but I already have music

I want it all
Maybe it’s too much for asking,
For me yeah
Where are you?
I want you, love
I want you, love
Where are you?
