A new ditty from my one man band. October, 2007.
beatle influenced pop dan fogelberg tribute tony delecce
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
Was fooling around with Sweet Melissa at a Friday Jam and borrowed the Allman Chords. Then someone was saying Eric Clapton often reversed his chords so I I did that on this song. Verse is Melissa Chords and Chorus is same chords backwards.
Lyrics
Who will be your hero Words/Music Tony DeLecce 09/2007 Will you ever find the words to say The things you feel inside? Will you ever have the time to feel Whats really on your mind Have you ever turned away With something more to say Because it s easier to walk away Than to speak and break the truce Bridge Who will be your hero when our heros are all gone Whatever brings you happiness You better bring along Chorus With only one life to live You cant afford to be wrong 3rd verse Did you ever see the sunrise As you walked along the beach Have you ever heard the singing Of the birds up in the trees Have you ever taken the time To feel your life Or are you just a blind soul Who’s lost in the night Bridge Who will be your hero When our heros are all gone Whatever brings you happiness You better bring along Chorus Your life is for living And your love is to give Even though your heart is breaking you must try to forgive Verse Will you take the time to think about All the things you feel inside Will you make yourself a promise To find a better life Chorus But don’t make a promise That you cant keep Please listen to me I know of what I speak Bridge again. Who will be your hero When our heros are all gone You can be a hero If you put your faith in god With only one life to live You can t afford to be wrong Whatever brings you happiness You better bring along CHORDS: Main verse E, F#m, G#m, A Bridge: C#m, F#,A, E Chorus: A, G#m,F#m, E (Complete reverse of verse)

Greatly written, Tony and magnificent vocals...Classy music. Your lyrics, in all your songs, reveal your great wisdom, and intelligence. Yes, I agree....If we put our faith in God. (instead of rock stars, :) ) Tony....I have found out the hard way....we all have to be our own heros. Especially me ....with my long Carpathian nose, which I have actually grown to like, ...............and ruined teeth, Tony, my teeth are ruined. :)
