We often get so caught up in life, that we forget to take a good look around. This song just reminds us to do that. http://cdbaby.com/tonygraham

"Singer Songwriter Tony Graham has had the ability to magically mesmerize every audience I have seen him perform before. At a Tony Graham performance, while you are inadvertently wandering through past, present and future thoughts, you can’t help but wonder if the late Jim Croce hasn’t re-incarnated himself into the mind and soul of Graham. Or is it the reclusive Cat Stevens that keeps tickling your ears? Has James Taylor and Dan Folgelberg had their magical hands in on the honing of this guys talent? Yet what you are actually hearing and experiencing is something fantastically unique and fresh.
Tony Graham is one of the best new songwriters of our day. Someone is going to grab a hold of this guy and run. Wouldn’t it be fun to be a small part of that history?"

“A unique and original American voice”. The voice echoes Cat Stevens, Jim Croce and Dan Folgelberg during their soulful, musical best. But Tony Graham somehow remains his own man, with his own memories, stories, and visions. He is not only well worth hearing, He is well worth hearing again and again

Tony Graham could easily be the next American Idol or the next Nashville Star. Hope to see him in the competition.
Story behind the song
A girl friend once told me that she had never seen a falling star. That comment inspired this song. http://cdbaby.com/tonygraham
Lyrics
"Follow on My Lead" © 2003
Take a walk with me and I’ll,
Show you things that have never caught your eyes.
We all live sheltered lives and if we,
Don’t wake up, life will quickly pass us by.
Well I know there’s lots of things you’ve dreamed of.
So let’s just, take a precious moment of your time.
I won’t let nothing stand between us,
Only the visions you’ll have dancing in your mind.
So take a look around and tell me what’s not there that you see. It’s a lot like yesterday but you could see it differently.
There’s not a lot that I claim to know but if you’ll follow on my lead,
Got somethin’ to show ya.
Oh yeah, you got to follow on my lead.
Got somthin’ to show ya.
Oh yeah, you got to follow on my lead.
Whoa, oh, ohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
You got to follow on my lead.
Well, I know there’s been nights when you’ve,
Stood outside and never looked up at the stars.
Only to go inside to never realize all the grandeur you ignored.
I hope your not now contemplating,
Whether to get up and go walk out in the yard.
And take a Mayan look up towards the heavens,
To see how many special things there are for you to,
Wish upon.
So take a look around and tell me what’s now there that you see?
Well it’s a lot like yesterday but do you see it differently?
There’s not a lot that I claim to know but if you’ll follow on my lead,
Got somethin’ to show ya.
Oh, yeah, you got to follow on my lead.
Got somethin’ to show ya.
Oh, yeah , you got to follow on my lead.
Whoa, oh,..oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
You got to follow on my lead!
Take my hand and I’ll,
Show you things that you’ve never seen before.
We all live selfish lives and if we,
Don’t wake up life will quickly slam the door.
Well I hope your not still contemplating,
Whether to get up and go walk out in the yard.
To take a Mayan look up towards the heavens,
And see how many special things there are for you to wish upon.
So take a look around and tell me what’s now there that you see.
Well it’s a lot like yesterday and yeah, it looks the same to me.
There’s not a lot that I claim to know but if you’ll follow on my lead,
Got somethin’ to show ya.
Oh, yeah, you got to follow on my lead.
Maybe a little more joy yeah,
Oh, yeah, follow on my lead.
Got somethin’ to show ya,
Oh, yeah, you got to follow on my lead,
Whoa, oh, oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
You got to follow on my lead!
