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.

Lyrics
The Emporer has no clothes F, Em, A, Dm She went out for a Drive There were Dark clouds in the sky The truth was right in front of her And it came as no surprise Hes been telling her its only in her mind Winding down the yellow brick road he ran into a scarecrow A lion with no courage and a tin man with no heart. Hes been telling them its only in their mind Chorus B Flat, CMaj7, Dm Theres a man behind the curtain she sees Hes nothing like he made her believe Shes sees the emporer has no clothes Bridge Gm, Cmaj7 F, Dm She needs to go far away from here She needs a life of her own She needs be far away From this place She needs to have peace and hope MIDDLE LEAD She said she only wanted the truth he said theres something wrong with you Theres no man behind the curtain and she needs to close her eyes hes been telling her its only in her mind Winding down the yellow brick road he has the brains of the scarecrow The courage of the lion but he doesnt have a heart Hes been telling her that everythingss her fault B Flat, CMaj7, Dm Chorus Theres a man behind the curtain she sees Hes nothing like he made her believe Shes sees the emporer has no clothes Bridge Gm, Cmaj7 F, Dm She needs to go far away from here She needs a life of her own She needs be far away From this place She needs to have peace and hope

You know, this is, really way good, and in a way I feel like a schmuck for having suggested "oh, we know how this should sound"... but, if you really are okay with us covering it, we fully intend to. The boys figured out what it reminds them of, an ELO record. I hear it too, bit of ELO, and plenty of Beatles as well. But honestly, I am excited at perceiving where we seem think this song can go... it'll be fun to do, work, yes, we wanna get it all just so... which means we'll go crazy in the studio as usual... but if you'll forgive our presumption, we'll have a go alright.

This really is bloody Excellent. And you wrote this? Fucking Great. I can hardly wait to have at this one, we are all torqued up for it. It'll be on the next album... I'm completing Peace Happiness Greenery with more previous released stuff we've done... Brilliant, Mate.

Hi There Tony. Jesus Oldman. Got a bit to say to you, Mate. But first, ya spelled it wrong there, it's Emperor. Yeah, it is. Also, me and me mates wanna know, might we gain your granting us authorization, to cover this song, you let us spell it right, obviously. Dealbreaker if not. We offer all our music for free, God said so, so it'd be that... so, look, if you're amenable, write to me at Jesus_Oldman@yahoo.com

Are you turning on Trump Tony? Hidden imagery in Here? Good song like the whole imagery as well.

Great to hear a new one from you! I hear the Beatles influence, but this has your own touch of magic and also reminds me of later music produced by Jeff Lynne. A great radio-ready catchy hit!
