Everyone Adores You (At Least I Do)

Matt Maltese's song 'Everyone Adores You (At Least I Do)' is a tender expression of admiration and love, wrapped in a gentle melody. The lyrics convey a sense of deep affection and the desire to be close to someone who is cherished. The opening lines suggest a shy, perhaps unspoken, attraction that the narrator feels towards the object of their affection. The mention of wanting to live with this person 'in the dead of night' hints at a longing for intimacy and a shared life.

The chorus, 'So terrified of the road that takes you / Me too / Don't modify, everyone adores you / At least I do,' speaks to a shared fear of the unknown paths that life may take. The narrator reassures the loved one not to change ('Don't modify'), emphasizing that they are adored just as they are. This sentiment is personal and universal, suggesting that while many may admire this person, the narrator's feelings are unique and sincere. The use of 'at least I do' adds a touch of humility and personal confession to the adoration.

The song also touches on themes of memory and legacy, as seen in the lines 'Right where the blackbird sighs I look at you / Through and through / Right where your father died / I hold on to your hand.' These lyrics may imply a connection to the past and a support system for the future. The repeated assurance of adoration, both from the masses and from the narrator, creates a sense of warmth and security. The final lines reveal that when the narrator refers to 'everyone,' they are, in fact, speaking about their own feelings, underscoring the personal depth of their adoration.
