Chantal Kreviazuk - All I Can Do

Day 3: Chantal Kreviazuk

I think it’s important to really press on with the song writing and just go with it. There’s no code, there’s no craft… it’s just let yourself shine through your music. If it’s meant to be loved and heard, it’ll happen.

It’s the third day of our fabulous Canadian musicians week and I hope you’re enjoying the music we’ve posted so far.

Today I’m featuring an artist who’s a good friend and have worked closely with Avril Lavigne, whom we featured yesterday. Her name is Chantal Kreviazuk, a Canadian singer-songwriter of rock and pop music.

Perhaps what I like most about Chantal are her two songs which I’ve played countlessly for as long as I can remember: Feels Like Home and Leaving on a Jet Plane. That’s why I was keen on checking out her newest album that came out in August last year, called Ghost Stories. The album, produced entirely by Kreviazuk’s husband at home, does not have a single guitar on any of the tracks. But then again, who needs a guitar with such beautiful piano score!

Speaking of piano, I think you’re going to love today’s featured song: All I Can Do. The piano riff in this standout song emerges first and provides a foundation for an utterly captivating melody. With great lyrics that she delivers with greater emotions, it’s no surprise that this song was chosen to be the lead single for the album, and received mass radio playback that put Chantal back on the map after her 4 years of absence.

Lyrics

When you’re on your own
When you’re at a fork in the road
You don’t know which way to go
There’s too many signs and arrows
You haven’t laughed in a while
When you can’t even fake a smile
When you feel ashamed
The uniform don’t make you brave

Chorus:

All I can do is love you to pieces
Give you a shoulder to cry when you need it
When the day is long and the night is coming down on you
All I can do
All I can do
All I can do

When you forget your name
and the pleasure can’t disguise your pain
and you don’t feel the same
I won’t forget the love you made

Chorus:

All I can do is love you to pieces
Give you a shoulder to cry when you need it
When the day is long and the night is coming down on you
All I can do
All I can do
All I can do

What a lovely day to shape your dreams
And you don’t even have to sleep
You can make it what you want to be
You can fly away
You can change your name
Have a happy face
It can be so real

ohhhhhh

Chorus:

All I can do is love you to pieces
Give you a shoulder to cry when you need it
When the day is long and the night is coming down on you
All I can do
All I can do
All I can do
Is all that I can do
