about

With a sound reminiscent of early Motown this heartfelt anthem was written by Megan after she lost a friend to suicide. It is about saying more than RUOK by reaching in and doing whatever you can to lighten the load because everybody hurts sometimes.

lyrics

WHATEVER YOU NEED

Whenever the days are long
Whenever you can’t feel strong
Whenever it feels like everything’s gonna keep going wrong
Whenever the night grows cold
Whenever you feel you’re gonna fold
Whenever it feels like you’re on your own and you can’t keep on going

Whatever, Whatever you need
Whatever, Whatever you need
Whatever, Whatever, I’ll be your strength
I’ll be your shelter
Whatever, Whatever you need
Whatever, Whatever you need
Whatever, Whatever, I’ll be your strength
I’ll be your shelter

Whenever you give up hope
Whenever you just can’t cope
Whenever it feels like everything’s gonna keep going wrong
Whenever you just grow tired
Whenever you can’t go through the fire
Whenever it feels like you’re on your own and you can’t keep on going

Whatever, Whatever you need
Whatever, Whatever you need
Whatever, Whatever, I’ll be your strength
I’ll be your shelter
Whatever, Whatever you need
Whatever, Whatever you need
Whatever, Whatever, I’ll be your strength
I’ll be your shelter

Standing on the shoulders of you I’m taller
Following in your footsteps I can’t think smaller
I’ll think big, be your woman of action
Carrying on your dreams that’s my reaction
You were my example, my leader to follow
Paved the way, so I could live tomorrow
Standing tall the way you taught me too
Helping those around me to break on through
Through trials, challenges, doubts and stories
I will lead not follow, for your glory
You were the brightest star, now you’re up above
When I need to be strong, I’ll remember your incredible love

Whatever, Whatever you need
Whatever, Whatever you need
Whatever, Whatever, I’ll be your strength
I’ll be your shelter
Whatever, Whatever you need
Whatever, Whatever you need
Whatever, Whatever, I’ll be your strength
I’ll be your shelter

Whatever you need
Whatever you need
Whatever you need

Hi, I’m Megan Albany and I am so proud of The Very Last List of Vivian Walker and am very excited to invite you into Viv’s world. She’s a fantastic character but sometimes even the best words are not enough. I am not sure if the book inspired the music or the music inspired the book. Either way, the soundtrack will deepen your dive into the beautifully dysfunctional life of Vivian Walker. ... more
