Tony talked to Grande Rock about his inspiration for the songs. This is what he said.
High Time: This was a song born from missing the coach from Baltimore to West Virginia. Two girls picked me up in a convertible and took me to the gig. Through some of the less attractive sites of America.
Open Your Heart: A simple song about a guy who’s woman has interests in something other than him…
Soul Searching: This could be a song about me, I was never really sure about that. My parents were always saying that I was forever Soul-searching…
Where Is The Love: A true story if you will, of the break up of my family when I was younger, to the apparent strangers that we are to each other today.
You Could Be Dreaming: A song for somnambulists... !!!!
Don’t Jump The Gun: What can I say ? Don’t give up your life for your love?
First Love: There is a theory that as we grow older in life, we are forever trying to retain our youth and indeed to be able to capture the first love that we had, this is really about those things.
I’ll Be Home Tonight: This is a song about a man who spends his life working when what he really wants is to be at home with his family.
Walk Through Fire: Steve Harris wrote this one, so I have to decline to comment.
Slowly: A song about people who meet over the internet... which can be very problematical!!
