britpop
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
No great story. Perhaps a touch introspection and of course always takes off on a story/theme. I guess I have done alright and I certainly have done some things wrong and Right.
Lyrics

Agree with the last 2 comments, you can definitely nail that Mersey retro style. I wish there were more songs like this these days, it is catchy & an ideal radio song. Love the melody & harmonies, great vocals & perfect guitar work. Instantly engaging, superb song!

Nice one Tony ! You write some great songs in that Beatles/ Merseybeat style ! It’s the vocals that you’ve absolutely got right for the genre .

Hi Tony, good to reconnect with you again, thank you my friend. This song is not only done alright but shines trhrough and through, especially vocally, a lot of times when I listen to artists, their vocals are vovered a lot by over reverbing and echoing, gets burried, not in this case, love the vocals and harmonies, and the instrumental section perfectly complimentary to those vocals, most important. When one listens to a song that's vocal, first thing we listen to is the vocal and lyrics. A very well done job here my friend, keep up the great works.

That sound of yours permeates this whole song. You got that vibe down man.
Nice track...certainly a brit pop vibe to it....nice harmonies, well-crafted lyrics and solid production. Very nice!

Very high quality in all respects, everyone will have their own favourites I'm sure - I'll check the other comments after I write this - but for me the highlight is the harmony work you have done with yourself and the chord structure in the various parts of the song. I've not looked at the chords in any detail on songs they wrote but as a Beatles fan, are you familiar with the British band Oasis? If not, I think you'll enjoy having a listen. Or even if you are!

You really do have a great Merseybeat sound! Love the harmonies and the guitar work. Are you sure you're not from Liverpool? Lol.

Tony, nobody on SoundClick does McCartney like you! Loving the retro Fab 4 groove of this catchy song. Better than some Paul solo songs I've heard. Ironically, I just performed a Beatles tribute show in a local park near the beach yesterday. I'm back in action with a new track on SoundClick. Yes, you've done alright, Tony. Very alright indeed.

Great 'Retro' sound. I know that term is a little over used now, but I can't think of a better one just now. This is Uber cool my Beatle friend. This could be what The Searchers could have done if they'd got their act together better and progressed. As catchy as only a catchy thing can be . . .at that's very catchy indeed. Right, all back to your place . . ha ha :)

Hi Tony, Brit Pop Rules! - Just listened to I've Done Alright (and you certainly did). Some great little Beatlesque nods and riffs. Great stuff. Also, big apologies for being off the circuit for the last two years!

Nice guitar work. Nice guitar arrangement on this. The mix is just right and does not over ride your vocals which is great in using retro lead guitar. :)
