brit pop originals
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
Can’t Change What Is Words/Music Tony DeLecce 4/2013 Verse You’ve got to leave your life behind and pick up all the pieces of your broken heart You tried so hard to make things right You gave it all you had and you fought the good fight Chorus But you can’t change what is and you can’t hide from the truth You can only change the part inside of you Verse2 You take a walk and think awhile About the places you have been And where will you go now Sometimes its hard to understand Sometimes you feel alone and you need a helping hand Chorus When you can’t change what is and you can’t hide from the truth You can only change the part inside of you BRIDGE Sometimes you think that you’re losing your mind Sometimes you cant hide the tears There is a light that is sent from above That will fill your heart with love Lead Guitar Verse3 And now it’s time to live your life You’ve got to take a chance Everything will be alright You tried so hard To understand There is nothing Left to say And there’s noone left to blame Chorus When you can’t change what is and you can’t hide from the truth You can only change the part inside of you

You really excel at the Brit pop genre Tony . You’ve got the Beatles sound and vibe down . Great vocals and the lyrics tell the tale perfectly. Very relatable. Great work !

This song would fit perfectly on a Beatles or Wings album, it has retro elements blended with your own contemporary influence. I like the way you have captured the melancholy subject in the melody & vocals. A song that many ppl out there will relate to.

great song Tony, really cool - obviously this is a re-do from the song you did last decade - man, it's got such a 'now' vibe, everything in the mix just so right, crystal clear! love the melody and refrains, cool as!
