On February 9, 2002, and after 4.6 million votes, British singer Will Young became the winner of Pop Idol, the successful U.K. live entertainment TV show. Soon, his debut single "Anything Is Possible/Evergreen," released on February 25, 2002, became the fastest-selling single in the U.K., an title previously held by Band Aid's 1984 hit "Do They Know It's Christmas?".
Young studied politics at Exeter University before moving from Hungerford, Berks, to London. His musical passion grew while studying musical theater at the Arts Educational School in Chiswick. Before making his first record, featuring Westlife's "Evergreen" and "Anything Is Possible," Young performed the Doors classic "Light My Fire" to one of the largest and youngest TV audiences ever.
I'm here just like I said
Though its breaking every rule I've ever made
My racing heart is just the same
Why make it strong to break it once again?
And I'd love to say I do
Give everything to you
But I can never now be true
So I say...
I think I'd better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now
I'm here so please explain
Why you're opening up a healing wound again
I'm a little more careful
Perhaps it shows
But if I lose the highs,
at least I'm spared the lows
Now I tremble in your arms
What could be the harm
To feel my spirit calm
So I say..
I wouldn't know how to say
How good it feels seeing you today
I see you've got your smile back
Like you say your right on track
But you may never know why
Once bitten twice is shy
If I'm proud perhaps I should explain
I couldn't bear to lose you again
