A song about the Grind....new Jan 2025
brit pop originals
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.

Lyrics
The Grind Words/Music Tony DeLecce 1/2025 I Woke up this morning Chords verse E, B, C#m, A I was Feeling kinda blue I didnt sleep long enough thats really nothing new I Got Lots to do today I Gotta get up and move Wish that i could stay here and spend the day with you Chorus I don 't have the time A, B I have to be at work by 9 G#m, C#m Its all part of the grind A, B, E VERSE2 I step into the light Chords verse E, B, C#m, A as the world starts to unfold the world feels so heavy as it weighs upon my soul There is a rythm in this chaos I've come to know I'll take each moment as it comes and face it on my own Chorus I don 't have the time A, B I have to be at work by 9 G#m, C#m Its all part of the grind A, B, E BRIDGE But some days feel like a storm And I'm drowning in all of the noise I just need a little time to unwind LEAD GUITAR Verse3 MIDDLE LEAD Verse3 Ive got a long list of things to do Im feeling kinda slow and Im not ready to go The world is spinning fast C#m, F#Major, B, E and Im stuck in a haze I'm Hoping I can find My own way Chorus I don 't have the time A, B I have to be at work by 9 G#m, C#m It's all part of the grind A, B, E Verse4 The day will come and go and I will carry on even when the day is hard and I'm feeling low and though the day is long I know Im not alone as long as I know that you are waiting at home .... Chorus and repeat verse 1 BRIDGE But some days feel like a storm I'll find my way through the door and It wont be long Till I'm home with you
