The song is the fastest on the album. It is in 12/8 time and features more prominent acoustic guitar than other tracks on Moondance where the piano is the main instrument. A notable feature of the intro is a clavinet. A hard but sparse drumbeat is offset by a melody played on the flute throughout the song, including a solo after the second chorus.
Morrison has said "'Everyone' is just a song of hope, that's what that is."[1]
The song was used for the final shot of the film The Royal Tenenbaums,[2] but did not appear on any of the film's soundtrack releases.

gollark: Also, should I change the periodic table code criteria or keep the existing ones?
gollark: The wall is falling!
gollark: For context: about 1/5 of my scroll consists of ones valid under my *existing* scheme.
gollark: https://dragcave.net/group/70751This appears to be too many, so I'll probably require either a single two-letter code or three single-letter ones.
gollark: Since there are lots of those, I may consider requiring >=2 letters.
