In America, "Everything in the World" was the song that introduced Some Fantastic Place, the tenth Squeeze album, in 1993, and it found a home on alternative rock radio there. The split of duties is simple: Glenn Tilbrook wrote the music and Chris Difford the words. The band produced, arranged and engineered it with Pete Smith, and Bob Clearmountain mixed it to a clean, bright sheen.
The twist is a guest. British singer Chris Braide's falsetto soars all over the track, lifting Tilbrook's melody somewhere up near the ceiling and giving the whole thing a giddy, sunlit lift.
