SINGLE: Keith Urban - "Everybody"

'The only thing you've ever known is how to run/So you keep on runnin' into the sun.' Everybody does need somebody, and that's what this song is just about. Keith Urban chooses a mid-tempo number for the fourth single, and the song shows why Keith Urban is the major force he is. The song builds from the first note, with levels of guitar riffs (an Urban staple), a brisk-paced drum snare piece, and a string section with keys. But what really impresses me about this particular track is Keith's vocal take. He shows his chops off; the man does have a range that includes a beautiful, but simple, falsetto. The man can play, write, sing, and produce. He has yet to hit #1 with this album, and while this tune may not give him that, it's a nice ballad for guys to remind their girls to let down the walls and be loved. You can't live life alone, after all.

**** out of *****
