Sinead O'Connor & Terry Hall: "All Kinds of Everything" (1998)




"All Kinds of Everything" is a song written by Derry Lindsay and Jackie Smith which as performed by Dana won the Eurovision Song Contest 1970. "All Kinds of Everything" represented a return to the ballad form from the more energetic performances which had dominated Eurovision the previous years. Dana sings about all the things which remind her of her sweetheart, with the admission at the end of every verse that "all kinds of everything remind me of you". The recording by Dana became an international hit.

Sinéad O'Connor and Terry Hall recorded "All Kinds of Everything" for the 1998 album A Song For Eurotrash; the track was also featured on O'Connor's 2005 release Collaborations.


- Lyrics:

Snowdrops And Daffodils,
butterflies And Bees,
sailboats And Fishermen,
things Of The Sea,
wishing Wells And Wedding Bells,
early Morning Dew,
all Kinds Of Everything
remind Me Of You.

seagulls And Aeroplanes,
things Of The Sky,
winds That Go Howling,
breezes That Sigh,
city Sight, Neon Lights,
grey Skies Or Blue,
all Kinds Of Everything
remind Me Of You.

summer Time, Winter Time,
spring And Autumn Too,
monday, Tuesday, Everyday,
i Think Of You.

dances, Romances,
things Of The Night,
sunshine And Holidays,
postcards To Write.

parting Trees, Autumn Leaves,
snowflake Or Two,
all Kinds Of Everything
remind Me Of You.

summer Time, Winter Time,
spring And Autumn Too,
seasons Will Never Change
the Way That I Love You.

dances, Romances,
things Of The Night.

sunshine And Holidays,
postcards To Write,
parting Trees, Autumn Leaves,
a Snowflake Or Two.

all Kinds Of Everything
remind Me Of You.

all Kinds Of Everything
remind Me Of You.
