A brit pop song about getting older and no matter what happens there is always that look back and wondering what if.
brit pop original
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
Prisoner of my Past Words/Music Tony DeLecce January 26, 2026 I take two steps forward and one step back D, I think about tomorrow But I'm a prisoner of my past THings used to be so easy now I keep on looking back I guess I'm just a prisoner of my Past VERSE2 Every year older gets me closer to the end I shouldnt have to worry I shouldnt have regrets I try to think about tomorrow but I keep looking back I guess Im just a prisoner of my past Chorus I'm still standing and taking the fire G, A, D, Bm, with a heart full of pride and a burning desire I won't last forever but I'll try with all my might you can be sure I ll put up a one hell of a fight BRIDGE I Never knew how much love could do G, A7, D, Bm until it was too late I never knew what life could do Until it was too late MIDDLE LEAD Verse3 Looking back in sorrow feeling all the pain Anxious about tomorrow and its driving me insane I'm driving down the highway through the pouring rain I've learned in life that nothing stays the same Chorus I'm still standing and taking the fire G, A, D, Bm, with a heart full of pride and a burning desire I won't last forever but I'll try with all my might you can be sure I ll put up a hell of a fight BRIDGE I Never knew how much love could do G, A7, D, Bm until it was too late I never knew what life could do Until it was too late

great brit pop sound Tony, it's a cool song and takes us all the way back to those heady 60's days - You just own this sound and these OG's are so reminiscent of that whole mid sixties (not just the Beatles, but all the bands from Gerry & the Pacemakers to Dave Clark Five, Badfinger et al) Very cool piece mate, really enjoyed this!
