brit pop moody blues
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.

Make the World a Better Place Words/Music Tony DeLecce 7/22/2006 Looking out the window As Im driving down the road Im watching all the people Passing by Everyone is working hard to make a better life Me, Im just trying to survive CHORUS: We can make the world a better place We can find a better way We can make the world a better place Love will show us the way I cant see the future Because the past is in the way I cant play These games anymore I dont know the Answers to the mysteries of life Me, Im just trying to survive CHORUS: We can make the world a better place We can find a better way We can make the world a better place Love will show us the way BRIDGE: We can make the world a better place Love will show us the way VERSE3: Waking up alone In the backyard of my life Wondering how these years Have passed me by Everyone is trying hard To find a better life Me, Im just trying to survive. CHORUS: We can make the world a better place We can find a better way We can make the world a better place Love will show us the way

Don't now how this song slipped under my radar! Excellent song with positive sentiments - something I think the world needs right now. Love the guitar work and the vocal harmonies. This definitely rocks!

A fine fine song. Well done. Everybody's version of making it a better place unfortunately isn't the same. Though you answer certainly works on a personal level. I agree.

Hey Tony, This one was is wonderful. I hate to give any constructive criticism because it is such a good song but, There seems to be either a problem with my system or the song seems to be recorded in a mode other than stereo. Some tracks like the bass and maybe others sound very warbly. The drums and vocals and some of the guitar parts sound fine. Is this recorded in 5.1 surround sound? Robert
