Everything You See
Everything You See is the thirteenth album by the Scottish Celtic rock band Runrig, released by Ridge Records in the United Kingdom on 14 May 2007. All songs were written by band members Calum and Rory Macdonald, except for "Sona" and "And the Accordions Played", which they co-wrote with fellow band members Malcolm Jones and Brian Hurren, respectively. As on all Runrig albums, several songs are written and performed in Scottish Gaelic, underlining the band's heritage.
In Summer 2007, the band went on their Everything You See tour, promoting their newest album as well as older songs. The tour's main focus was Denmark (the track "In Scandinavia" commemorates the ancient link between Denmark and Scotland), Germany, and England, with originally only one concert being held in Scotland (at Drumnadrochit by Loch Ness). The tour was later extended to include several Scottish dates. The Loch Ness concert, entitled Beat the Drum after the chorus to the song "Pride of the Summer", was released on DVD and CD as Year of the Flood in 2008.

We Are Everything You See
by: LocomotiveLay me down gently
My mind is disordered
Something my prey can sight
The bread has gone dryer and the whisky is watered
Still I can say that I've tried
To eat my fill, of everything I'm expected to digest
To smile at will, but I still steal the cakes
Of someone else's Queen of Hearts
And that's the way it's been right from the very start
Sing me a sad song and I'll she'd a sad tear
Pressing my front and I'll cry
I am the outcome of mass production
I'm Batman, your bachelor's toy
I'll let you play
And do the things that make me want you more
Until you're straight
And drop me in the cupboard like so many toys before
Then I will be the victim and you will be the whore
Lay me down gently
