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
I sang the first two lines of this song to a nice melody I had and the song wrote itself from there. My daughter is 18 and I related it to her at least the first two verses. The rest of the song in true songwriting tradition is all made up lets hope the real story has a happier ending.
Lyrics
All the Kings Horses and All the Kings Men Words/Music Tony DeLecce 9/25/2006 She was only 17, when she left her home and her family She was raised in a happy home Some how she felt she was all alone Nobody there could understand the way she felt inside Chorus All the Kings horses and all the Kings Men couldnt put her broken heart together again All the Kings horses and all the Kings Men learned that some hearts never mend They had such high hopes for her They gave her their love, they helped her to learn Swimming in the morning, ballet at noon Soccer, softball and Piano too They could never understand the way she felt inside Chorus All the Kings horses and all the Kings Men couldnt put their broken hearts together again All the Kings horses and all the Kings Men learned that some hearts never mend BRIDGE They were so sorry They wished that shed come home They were so sorry If only they had known MIDDLE INSTRUMENTAL LEAD That was 10 long years ago When she left her happy home She thinks about that night long ago But its too late she can never go home Married a man who couldnt understand the way she felt inside Chorus All the Kings horses and all the Kings Men couldnt put her broken heart together again All the Kings horses and all the Kings Men learned that some hearts never mend LAST VERSE Her parents split up 5 years ago The pain was too great and so was the blame They could never forgive or forget so they walked away they left their marriage for dead They could never learn to live with the pain they knew she felt inside Chorus All the Kings horses and all the Kings Men couldnt put their broken hearts together again All the Kings horses and all the Kings Men knew that some hearts never mend BRIDGE She was so sorry, she wished that shed stayed home She was so sorry, she never was alone. CAPO on 2nd fret CHORDS: D, A, Bm, G, A Verse G, A, D, Bm Chorus Bm7, EMAJ7, G, A, D

Wanted to revisit this one. Brilliantly written song, the lyrics are outstanding, it touches on the turmoil that so many of us feel in our youth & goes on to explore how it can impact on our later life if things are not addressed. Lovely melody & beautifully performed.

This is great Tony. I've added this and some of your others for a deceased friend's sister's playlist. She only likes songs longer than about 4 minutes or so. You're sounding fabulous, Tony!!!

Very good song and mix-mastering is clearly developed further on in a right direction for my 2 cents.Also, am I hearing some slide there-nice addition.Also,lyrics kinda nostalgically remaining "She's leaving home".
