Anything For You (from Cannetella - An Original Musical) by Listen Loud - Demos

Cannetella is an original proof of concept musical, written and produced entirely by Listen Loud Music. Anything For You (from Cannetella - An Original Musical) was written by Joel and John in 2014 and produced between 2015 and 2019 at Listen Loud Studios.

The song is a midtempo in 4/4 time, at a moderate tempo of 125 bpm, in the key of C major (A minor). It has a happy, magical feel to it and is the central romantic love song in the musical. A sweet duet, the mood is playful and flirtatious.

Songwriter's notes: "Anything For You was the first song I wrote for the musical, and is one of my absolute favorites. It explores the budding romance between Princess Ella and her locksmith friend Leo, who rescues her from the evil Fior. I envisioned a cross between Aladdin's melodic "A Whole New World" and Frozen's flirtatious "Love is an Open Door". The chorus is quite catchy and is a great example of call and response. --Joel"

LYRICS
If I stay, do you promise you will never leave me?
Anything for you
I wanna hear you say that you’d never ever dare deceive me
Anything for you
And if I lost my way, would you walk a thousand miles to see me?
Anything for you
Make every day shiny and new
Ella, anything for you

I’m not the type of fella who would carry an umbrella, Ella
I’m the guy who sings in the rain
But the way I feel for you, it’s true, I’m coming unglued
I feel these feelings I can hardly contain
I guess it’s been a while since I’ve met someone as witty as you
A while since my heart’s felt completely anew
Now tell me, can this be true?

If I stay, would you name a constellation for me?
Anything for you
I wanna hear you say that you’d scale the highest mountain for me
Anything for you
And if I’m lost at sea, would you sail a hundred nights to find me?
Anything for you!
Make me feel so brand new
Anything for you
Anything for you

I was always worried that I’d grow up in a hurry
Worried that my life could become a bore
But somewhere in between my dreams of flying machines
A certain someone came and knocked on my door
I thought that I was lost in a world that was horribly bland
Lost until you showed up and gave me your hand
I was lost until I found you –
Lost until you found me…

If I stay, do you promise to sing sweetly for me?
Anything for you
I wanna hear you say that you’d wait a hundred lifetimes for me
Anything for you
And if we run away, we can stay beside each other, I’d do –
Anything for you
Anything you ask me too…
Anything for you!
Anything for you!
Anything for …
