"Anytime, Anywhere, Anything" stands as the only piece in The Ideal Home Music Library collection penned by Michael Johnson. The song delves into the tribulations of Johnson’s personal life. Following a tumultuous four-year relationship marked by manipulation and abuse at the hands of his wife's ex-partner, a daring move to Paris was on the horizon for Johnson, his spouse, and her daughter. Amidst the hope for a fresh start, legal battles orchestrated by the abusive ex-husband prevented their relocation, anchoring his daughter's proximity to a small Oregon town. Enduring a year and a half in France grappling with bureaucratic hurdles to reunite his family, Johnson's persistence paid off as his wife and stepdaughter eventually joined him. The respite in togetherness was short-lived, however, cut abruptly by court orders mandating his wife and her daughter’s return to the US after a mere four months. Weathered by the strain of sustaining a relationship amidst the shadow of abuse from his wife's ex, Johnson sought solace in the solitudinal expanse of Paris during a global pandemic, where the melody of this poignant song took form. As their lives’ paths diverged, Johnson's marriage dissolved, his wife finding new love while the strain of the past birthed a tender hymn in the heart of Johnson's solitude.
