me and maryjane was conceived many moons ago, in grade 9 actually, when i played my first show. maryjane is what i named my guitar, hence the name me and maryja
Mini-bio: Me & Maryjane began in 1993-1994. It's basically the name of my solo act, just me and the guitar (who I named Maryjane). The music is fairly folky, but has extended into rock, jazz and country-ish territories at times. As you will see if you listen to my songs. That's pretty much the low down Thanks for dropping by, Luca --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long bio: For the past 15 years, Luca Fantigrossi has been performing in various projects in varied genres from folk to jazz to ska to rock. Introduced to music in elementary school where he learned to play the recorder, he went on to study music at Loyola High School and Hudson High School as well as Vanier College. He played guitar in the HHS Jazz Band and percussion in the HHS Concert Band as well as sang in the choir at all 3 schools. He has had private lessons in guitar, bass, piano and saxophone.

Story behind the song
The story is pretty self-describing, however as a side note, this was a true story about a girl i felt really close to, but refrained from our longings because she already had a boyfriend, i'm sure this has happened to many people. another side note is that the song was written simply by me picking up the guitar the day after, pressing record, and the song and words just came out in one-take spontaneously without any pre-written lyrics. that was the only time i ever wrote a complete song on the spot.
Lyrics
i was thinking to myself about the other night that we spent together and i thought to myself, how ridiculous that we spent it that way, well i guess its best we did nothing at all, then to get ourselves in trouble anyway, but i needed to be with you that night, we just slept in our sperate rooms, in stead of holding eachother tight well i guess what we did was right, according to our human ways, but i just had this bloody instinct in side of me saying, go into room and hold her in your arms, love her, oh lover why can't i take you into my arms, are your arms chained to the wall, and lover why can't i take you in my arms, well i know that there is someone else, already though well i guess its best we stayed in our seperate rooms i guess, much less of a heavy conscience to confess.
