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
A little different song lyrically for me. I wrote this with the idea that it would be sung by a female as I was trying my best to think from their perspective. I mean maybe a Beer is a dream but Love?
Lyrics
Love is a Dream - Words/Music Tony DeLecce 10/13/2004 Love is a Dream That I always wake up from in misery My Heart won’t Let me be free I’m a prisoner of all my insecurities Chorus My heart was breaking I was looking for love to set me free My heart was aching I had burns of love in the 3rd degree Verse But Love is a game That can never be won It can never be free My Heart can’t take the pain Of feeling this way Feeling alone and afraid CHORUS My Heart is Breaking MY love has left and now I’m free My heart is aching Love has always brought me misery BRIDGE Love can be hard When it breaks your heart And love can steal your dreams Love can be cruel when it takes your soul Love can bring you down to your knees VERSE Love was a Dream Until I met you cause we were meant to be My heart knew right away One look in your eyes was all it would take Chorus My heart was breaking Until your love set me free My Heart was aching Until your love took the pain from me VERSE This love is a Dream Is this the way love’s supposed to be? My heart is desire And you are the key Chorus To unlocking all these passions Deep inside of me Now I know that this is the way That love’s supposed to be VERSE Love is a Dream That I never thought could happen to me My heart is Happy and free Now I know what love is supposed to be Chorus Love was a dream to me Never real or easy for me Love was a dream to me But you made love a reality LOVE

I remember the original production, too..this song is SO beautiful, Tony and Dawn! :) Congratulations on a successful Collab; talk about Karen Carpenter..this sounds like a Carpenter production without the piano. :) The guitar work is beautiful, Tony. :) And Dawn, your vocals shine like the sun! :)

Wow what a production ! gorgeous, beautiful , I remember this one , I absolutely love the mixing and production, the vocals are perfect on this song she sounds so comfortable in the range of the melody . The acoustic guitar is wonderful , The intro is subtle and airy and almost beach boy like , all the instruments and voices blend together to create a gentle wave of sound . wonderous cheers D

Thanks Kurt, Yes you are right on the reverb I think her track had some on it when I got it and I had my own on their so I will back that off. That slipped by me. Ok backed off now.
