A little jazzy diddy. Inspired by my life in general. Seems like everyone is always thinking things and never saying them. A new bridge added on 5/26/2008.
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
A coworker was complaining in very vague terms and I was thinking spit it out or Say what you mean
Lyrics
Words/Music Tony DeLecce 4/22/2008 Say what you mean and mean what you say I’m so damn tired of living this way From early in the morning Till late at night Doesn’t anybody say What’s on their mind Say what you mean And mean what you say You’d better speak up Before it’s too late Tell me no secrets And I’ll tell you no lies Give me the truth I can’t read your mind Chorus I say what I mean And I mean what I say When I say that you Took my heart away Say what you mean And mean what you say Why doesn’t anyone Stay in one place Running from morning Till late into the night Little wonder Everyone’s so tired Say what you mean And mean what you say Never say never It s never too late Find a girl To call your own Hold her tight And let her know Chorus You say what you mean And you mean what you say When you say that She took your heart away

I don't think I've heard this song before.Cool Beatley Drive,-reminds me partly of "Tell me why you cry...and why you lie to me....".Pretty original and refreshin' Bridge.Guitars are cookin',-or the way it supposed to be.

Well, Tony..I definitely pick up on the frustration coming across loud and strong in this piece. And I feel for you, brother..been there, done that before. I full-starred you for effort, BUT I have to say, I've heard better production out of you than this..there are periods of distortion that shouldn't be there. Get rid of that, and you'll have it done, unless this is a demo. That "60's" sound I recognize very well. The writing is strong and emotional, I can relate to the lyrics; nice writing job, Tony. :)

Tony, I like the passion in this one - really delivered with conviction and energy. Great lyrics and a very singable chorus. The jazzy guitar textures make a nice layered canvas for your emotional lyrics and vigorous melody. Your sense of frustration comes across with strength and musical power. The organ vs guitar duel is a very cool motiff that I almost missed until the 2nd listen. Overall a well-produced emotionally demanding track that places easily among TD's greatest hits! My plays are in the single digits. Don't know if that's because of SC in general or my lack of community interaction and new material. I feel like all musical desire has fled me. You are sounding great tonight. Your fan, Johnny
