A song about moving back to my hometown. My whole family left here and I am the only one who left and came back. I like living here... I feel at home..
brit pop
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.

Story behind the song
Was thinking how my whole family left the area and I came back to the area. And I am glad I did. I like the small city atmosphere.. No traffic. Big enough to have things but small where low crime and low cost of living.
Lyrics
North Side of the City Words/Music Tony DeLecce 2/2024 I was born on the North Side of the City I moved away to find my place I never cared as much for other places So I came back home to stay Sometimes I wonder if I made the right choice things might be better or a whole lot worse I'll never know what might have been I'm living on the North Side of the City A place where I feel at Home Life is simple on the North Side of the CIty the air is clean and the sky is oh so pretty Sometimes I wonder if I made the right choice things might be better or a whole lot worse I'll never know what might have been BRIDGE Im at peace where I can breathe living on the the North Side of the CIty I am free and so at ease Living on the Norht Side of the CIty LEAD GUITAR Sometimes I wonder if I made the right choice things might be better or a whole lot worse I'll never know what might have been My Siblings left the North Side of the CIty They thought that life here was lame I never felt at home in other places moving away for me was strange Sometimes I wonder if I made the right choice things might be better or a whole lot worse I'm so damn glad that I am home...

I really like this song, I think it's a subject we can all relate to, & if we're not in that situation, it's a place of comfort that we all aspire to. Love the Brit Pop vibe and that guitar solo! Great job on the vox & production
