Aparo began playing in a group called Angie's Hope in the early 1990s before making the decision to go solo. After making that decision, Aparo made the decision to go out on the road touring with his acoustic guitar in the Southeast. In 1996, he released his first CD Out of the Everywhere, recorded at David Briggs studio in Nashville Tennessee with Jim Stabile as engineer. Burnard Tate played drums.
In 1999, with Grammy-winning producer Matt Serletic, Aparo released The American. His single "Spaceship" hit the radio waves in 2000, and The American also includes his original version of the single "Cry", made popular by Faith Hill and featured on her album of the same name. Many songs from The American are also on a new live CD 9live that was released in 2004.
While stuck in musical limbo due to record label issues, Aparo released Weapon of Mass Construction (2001) (Re-released under the title One With the Sun): a CD of cover songs taken from varying artists from The Beastie Boys to Neil Young and Elton John, as well as two previously unreleased originals. In his own words, "It was fun, and I got it out of my system." [1]
In 2003, another album -For Stars and Moon, a Beatles-influenced showcase - was released independently. This took Aparo's music in a different direction.
Most recently, Aparo has put together The Infidels, and is touring the southeast while recording a new album with producer Dann Huff. The music again is in a different direction than his previous recordings.
Hush
Angie Aparo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The boys they would crawl
Away from her door then they come back again
But don't let 'em in
Smoking their gin
Leaving their best foot out in the cold
I'm a waste of a momma's boy
It's a shame they say
All the love you come to destroy
There's a moment lost in time
When she says hush
I'm on your side
It's just the two of us
You know that I
You know I'll never say goodbye
She smiles for me
It don't mean a thing
It don't take away the way it was before
I'm foolish and grown
I should've known
Her's was a world made for just one throne
I'm a waste of a momma's boy
It's a shame they say
There's so much you know he'll never enjoy
All the love you come to destroy
How many days can you waste it boy
It's a shame they say
There's so much you know he'll never enjoy
All the love we come to destroy
There's a moment lost in time
When she says hush
I'm on your side
It's just the two of us
Though they might try
The song "Hush" by Angie Aparo is a heart-wrenching account of unrequited love and the internal struggle that comes with it. The main character is in love with a woman who is manipulative and destructive, causing him and others around her pain. She's so alluring that the boys would crawl away from her door, but inevitably come back, addicted to her charm. The singer, however, warns against letting her in and succumbing to her ways. He acknowledges that he's a waste of a momma's boy, and that he'll never enjoy the love around him because of his overwhelming infatuation with this woman.
The chorus, "There's a moment lost in time, when she says hush, I'm on your side, it's just the two of us, you know that I, you know I'll never say goodbye" is a moment of clarity for both the singer and the woman. It's a fleeting moment where she shows him kindness and understanding, and he realizes that she's not all bad. But even with this fleeting moment, the singer knows that he can't succumb to her ways, and it's a constant struggle for him.
The song is a commentary on the power dynamics in relationships, and how easy it is to fall under the spell of someone who is destructive. It also highlights the internal battle and the damage that can be done when one is in love with someone who will never love them back. It's a poignant and emotional portrayal of the complexities of human relationships.

She got it all
She possesses everything desirable
The boys they would crawl
The boys are willing to do anything to impress her
Away from her door then they come back again
The boys leave when rejected but return later with hope
But don't let 'em in
Don't allow them back in
Smoking their gin
The boys engage in harmful habits to cope with rejection
Leaving their best foot out in the cold
They leave their best traits unappreciated and unnoticed
I'm a waste of a momma's boy
I'm a disappointment to my mother
It's a shame they say
People feel sorry for me
There's so much you know he'll never enjoy
I'll never experience many joys in life
All the love you come to destroy
The love I give is wasted on her
There's a moment lost in time
An opportunity that can't be regained
When she says hush
When she asks for silence
I'm on your side
I support you
It's just the two of us
We are alone
You know that I
You're aware that I
You know I'll never say goodbye
I'm committed to you and won't leave
She smiles for me
She pretends to be happy for my sake
It don't mean a thing
Her smile is insincere
It don't take away the way it was before
Things are still unresolved despite her smile
I'm foolish and grown
I'm mature but still make poor decisions
I should've known
I should have been aware of the consequences
Her's was a world made for just one throne
She's the only one in control of her life
How many days can you waste it boy
How long will you continue to be unappreciated?
All the love we come to destroy
The love we give is wasted on her
Though they might try
Others may attempt to win her over

@yourenotinterested
Just saw Angie play this a week ago. Live it's so amazing. He teaches the "wee-oo" parts to the audience and they do it for him. This man sounds AMAZING. His voice hasn't changed...So talented, and SUCH a sweet guy!
