A song for anyone going through a hard breakup. I think we have all experienced these feelings. A new song for April 2013 from my one man 6th grade band Original version without tammy harmonies and piano.

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
Can’t Change What Is Words/Music Tony DeLecce 4/2013 Verse You’ve got to leave your life behind and pick up all the pieces of your broken heart You tried so hard to make things right You gave it all you had and you fought the good fight Chorus But you can’t change what is and you can’t hide from the truth You can only change the part inside of you Verse2 You take a walk and think awhile About the places you have been And where will you go now Sometimes its hard to understand Sometimes you feel alone and you need a helping hand Chorus When you can’t change what is and you can’t hide from the truth You can only change the part inside of you BRIDGE Sometimes you think that you’re losing your mind Sometimes you cant hide the tears There is a light that is sent from above That will fill your heart with love Lead Guitar And now it’s time to live your life You’ve got to take a chance Everything will be alright You tried so hard To understand There is nothing Left to say And there’s noone left to blame Chorus When you can’t change what is and you can’t hide from the truth You can only change the part inside of you Repeat chorus.

Very poignantly written, tracked, and produced, Tony...nice hooks lead one into the chorus, and tell a truth that is evergreen. :) I like it! :)

This is so catchy and poppy. I really must agree with all the other comments. What a great 'middle 8' too. Infact this is in many ways a 'perfect' pop single. This is so you if you know what I mean. Listening to all the great songs by The Beatles and others have certainly made you into a pop master. Love it.

Beautiful song here Tony, great lyrics, love the harmonies, very Beatle-esk, and the Beatles still stand as my most fave band, so it's no wonder I love this song. Keep up the good work ma man.

Outstanding recording Tony. Love the melody and words. The melody has some nice hooks. The main verses have a nice hook but then you put another one in at 1:53 - the move into the bridge. Very very nice! Like the the change at 2:06 also. Wow. I really like this song.

Love the chord changes, melody and harmonies. Kinda reminds me of vintage Graham Nash - fine writing and production!

You have mastered the art of 60's Brit pop music evidenced by this song…. A very enhanced mid tempo hooks with polished sheen of those wonderful days...Well done!

This one has the vibe and character of a classic hit - great melody, sing-along-hook and a subject everyone will relate to - a song they will all want to call their own. This could have been written by Lennon & McCartney or the Gibb brothers - perfect for radio, superbly sung and played.
