country drinking song
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
Feeling in the country mood and thought I would try and do something goofy.
Lyrics
I Didn’t Know Words and Music Tony DeLecce 8/2004 I didn’t know what day it was I didn’t know the time I never saw it coming at all You really caught me by surprise Chorus I’m singing and thinking I’m driving and drinking Trying not to spill my beer It’s the only friend That’s lasted all these years I didn’t know when I took you home It would be the last time I never knew what you were planning to do Until you hit me right between the eyes Now I’m picking and grinning Cause my head is spinning Trying to hold back the tears You weren’t the only friend That’s lasted all these years BRIDGE: I didnt know You were planning to go Until you hit me right between the eyes I really need some beer therapy. LEAD GUITAR I didn’t know when you said hello You weren’t talking to me I didn’t know when he took you home It wasn’t for the first time Now I’m chewing and spitting I’m cursing and sinning Crying in my Beer It’s the only friend that’s lasted all these years REPEAT 1st Verse

I definitely see a guy who's down & out sitting with his only friend...his beer! Love those interjections on the fiddle & the accent on the vocals lol. This really captures that country vibe & the story of someone down on his luck coupled with a sense of irony. Excellent stuff!

Shoe horned?? Why not I sold shoes at Sears in my youth! LOL! Look Ma no Hands. Cant argue too much about the fake southern accent I am failing miserably on that score. I thought all I had to do was watch Jerry Springer to get it right. Not as easy as it sounds. Maybe I needs to git me one dem der duble wides and see'n if'n I git perspiration from dat.

LOL! I don't know what's funnier, your yankee fake southern accent or the way you shoe horned those fiddle and pedal steel samples to work in this track! I like the harmonies on this one. Rubber Soul... Beer therapy? LOL!

Thanx for uplifting comments,Tony! Ha-ha,-that's very funny song lyrics-wise,-I first thought it's about Bear-Therapy...LOL! (we have some here wanderin' 'round in'an'out the border).VEry cool melody,delivery and production.Frankly one of the best from your vaults in production-dept.Voice and instruments have a plenty of head-room to breath,-which makes song very dynamic.. or that's how it supposed to be.And who's playing this "Don't pass me by"-like fiddle ?? Am I hearing a pedal-steel there ?? Great additions anyways.Even in their rudimentary modes they are spicin' the song with the unique flavours.Cool!!!
