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
If you over 30 you might understand. LOL! Well I call this my signature song as this is the song that I met Serge, Svenni and Johnny Proctor in that order as they all really liked this song. And those friendships were worth every note I put into the song and a lot more. (Well they may have a different take on it)
Lyrics
Through the Years Words/Music Tony DeLecce Written January 2002 Do you remember when you were a child All of your dreams were ahead of you All of our hopes and all of our fears Seem to fade away to yesteryear Nobody said that life would be easy Nobody said life would be fair Nobody said life would be this hard Nobody said life would break your heart Do you remember when you were a child Seems like yesterday to me All of our hopes and all of our fears Seemed to fade away when you were near Nobody said love would be easy Nobody said love would be fair Nobody said love would be this hard Everyone said love would break your heart LEAD GUITAR here Through the years we’ve learned to live one day at a time, we’ve learned to forgive All of our hopes and all of our fears Are something we’ve shared through the years Through the years our tears have flowed Through the years our children have grown Nobody said life would be this hard Nobody said life would break your heart Do you remember when you were a child Seems like yesterday to me All of our hopes and all of our fears Seems to catch up with us through the years Lead to end

So beautiful Tony...You have such a great voice, and your vocal presentation and emotional expression is the best. Your songs all have so much meaning, that you have composed. I am going through all your songs and my goodness, they are magnificent.

Great song, what a crystal clear production. This is a lovely slow waltz at the closing part of a 'gig', just before the tempo kicks up with the Rock and Roll ones to end the show. Fantastic lyrics, vocals and 'band,. You'seem to have nailed a Merseyside accent somehow. Nice one Wack !

Hi Tony, Well, it's certainly a great signature song.....it has the sixties, slow dancing at the prom, beach movies, hot cars, drive-in restaurants and drive-in movies swirling around in the mood.....and you didn't even have to mention them in the lyrics at all, the melody has it all there and the lyrics as they are, are remarkable!!!!!! Beautiful work, Tony and thanks for taking time out to drop in and for your most kind comments..... Best to ya Tony, Wade
