A new song testing my New Taylor 814 CE . Started out introspective and then turned into a message to the youth. New Jan 2017
accoustic guitar
Fans of Beatles, Badfinger, Fogelberg, Moody Blues, Raspberries and other Retro Classic rock.
I am a fan of the Beatles, Fogelberg, Raspberries, Badfinger, Moody Blues, solo Beatles, Eagles. Any music that has solid vocals, good harmonies and a hook! I also am developing a fascination with old jazz standards. I am self taught on everything I play which explains my limitations. LOL! Up until a few years ago I was all accoustic all the time and did very little recording on an old 4 trak. I had written a lot of songs over the years on my accoustic most of those are not here as I started using the computer to record and wanting a more electric sound so out came an electric guitar, then I wanted a beat so the cheap drum machine came next, then I needed a bottom so the cheap bass was bought, then my drums sucked so I needed loops. Then I wanted some strings/sax so my keyboard was bought. Well you know the drill the more you get the more you want and songs that took 3 hours now take 3 days. And so my one man 6th grade band was born. I have put samples of the music I have written here on this website. I use drum loops and all other instruments are live Course you probably can tell that, LOL). Anyway as Harry Chapin's Mr. Tanner would say music is my life not my livelihood. I have met some great artists on SC and continue to hear great artists on SC. Click on the stations link to find Soundclick Radio stations where my music is playing. My music playing on these stations has been a pleasant surprise as these stations are filled with great musicians. I have also had the opportunity to collaborate with some very good musicians here on SC. My brother Jim, Svenni Bjorgvins, Juri Rosenfeld, Johnny Proctor, His Masters Choice, DeAnn Sanders, Dawn Sinclair and most recently Dawn Diamond. I am very grateful to all these artists for helping me to have more fun than should be allowed for free. Writing/recording/producing music I find to be very rewarding. I am learning so much everyday about every facet. The exposure to so many great musicians has really helped me evolve as well. Well if you are still awake thanks for coming by. Other SoundClick Artists I recommend: Click on their links to hear some great music! Jim DeLecce my very talented brother Great Musician and great help to me in too many ways to count.

Story behind the song
Was wanting to record something on the Taylor 814 I got for Christmas and it turned into this.
Lyrics
Make up your Mind Words and Music Tony DeLecce January 2017 I remember back when I was 17 And my father said you have to work hard and believe He said there is nothing in this life that’s free You need to learn what it takes to succeed Cause Nobody owes you a living or a life Chorus You better make up your mind and soon Cause Time won’t wait for you You have to make up your mind it’s true And make your own way its up to you Verse2 Seems like half the country Has lost their minds They want everything for free All of the time They don’t care about the cost to you and me As long as they get everything they need They think they are owed a living and a life Chorus You better make up your mind and soon Cause Time won’t wait for you You have to make up your mind that's true Everythings left to you Bridge You better make up your mind You are running out of time And you better take the time to learn how to survive Middle lead string quartet Verse3 Now I know what my father said was true It’s time that the country understands it too God always wants what is best for you But this is something only you can do Cause Nobody owes you a living or a life Chorus You better make up your mind and soon Because Time won’t wait for you You have to make up your mind it’s true Before there’s nothing left for you Verse4 To all of you that are 17 You can be anything you want to be There’s nothing in this life that’s free You have to work hard if you want to succeed Cause Nobody owes you a living or a life Chorus You better make up your mind and soon Because Time won’t wait for you You have to make up your mind it’s true Before there’s nothing left for you

The Taylor sounds fantastic - very nice indeed! Very well written and performed, love the vocal harmonies and the guitar work. Yes, your lyrics are sometimes controversial, but they are also very truthful and that's why I like them. Your message is honest and is formed through experience - it's always good to have someone who tells it like it is.
