about

Mining the hope and struggle of the human
condition — experienced and imagined, “I’ll
Do Anything” is at once a love song and a
snapshot of living in a society that is
inhospitable to basic personal needs and
desires. “I’m gonna do what circumstances
require of me” the narrator exclaims
desperately. Love weaves a possibility for
something more to be be achieved if the will to
live is not extinguished.

lyrics

I’ve been beaten down
Wander through this town
I feel like getting out but I just don’t know how
I got me a job
Trying to make ends meet
But I work dark to dark and life passes by me

I’m gonna do what circumstances require of me
Walk through fields of blood and fire baby
and turn the other cheek
I’ll do anything to keep you loving me

Yeah Ma and Pa split up
When i was just a pup
But I don’t blame em none thats how it goes with love
Got a land of opportunity
Thats what’s been taught to me
But it seems that for some it’s too far out of reach

I’m gonna do what circumstances require of me
Walk through fields of blood and fire baby
and turn the other cheek
I’ll do anything to keep you loving me

Now I ain’t looking back
Got my eyes on the path
And there’s Nothing I can’t beat If you take this walk with me
No there’s nothing I can’t beat if you take this walk with me

I’m gonna do what circumstances require of me
Walk through fields of blood and fire baby
and turn the other cheek
I’ll do anything to keep you loving me
I’ll do anything to keep you loving me
