Round Every Corner

About Round Every Corner

"Round Every Corner", with words and music by Tony Hatch, is a single release by Petula Clark recorded in July 1965 at the Pye Studios in Marble Arch. The personnel on the session, produced by Hatch, included guitarist Big Jim Sullivan. Described by Clark herself as "an anti-protest song", "Round Every Corner" employs the musical structure of a children's singing game to present its message of optimism. Clark recorded versions of "Round Every Corner" in French: "Va Toujours Plus Loin" ("Always go farther") and Italian: "Gocce di mare" ("Drops in the ocean"). Although Clark had been recording successfully in German regularly since 1962, no German version of "Round Every Corner" was recorded by herself. Instead, Israeli singer and actress Carmela Corren recorded the song in German as "Heut' oder morgen" ("Today Or Tomorrow"). The previous Petula Clark single "You'd Better Come Home" had evinced a sharp decline in the chart fortunes established by her breakout hit "Downtown". "Round Every Corner" would virtually duplicate the precedent single's chart placings in both the US, where "You'd Better Come Home" and "Round Every Corner" respectively peaked at #22 and #21, and in the UK. The UK fall-off was more severe - the respective peaks being #44 and #43 - suggesting a brief presence for Clark at the forefront of the 1960s Britpop scene, particularly as the follow-up to "Downtown": "I Know a Place", had - despite reaching #3 US - only been a moderate UK hit (#17). more »

'Round every corner, 'round every corner
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
'Round every corner, 'round every corner

Stop feeling sad now, life ain't so bad now
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
While you're debating, some things are waiting
'Round every corner, 'round every corner

When Columbus sailed away to other shores
How could he imagine all that waited for him

'Round every corner,'round every corner
'Round every corner, 'round every corner

Leave all the blue days, think about the new days
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
Everything is yours, now, open all the doors, now
'Round every corner, 'round every corner

Man will soon be standing on the moon above
Just imagine all the things that he'll discover

'Round every corner, 'round every corner
'Round every corner, 'round every corner

You've gotta stop a sittin' there on the shelf
You've gotta start lookin' out for yourself, yeah

'Round every corner, 'round every corner
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
What's the use in crying, happiness is lying
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
And if you want a true love, look for a new love
'Round every corner, 'round every corner

Just forget the worries that you leave behind
There are many things to do and you can find them

'Round every corner, 'round every corner
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
'Round every corner, 'round every corner
