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.
Suicide
Angie Aparo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How does it feel to be stoned
Always high on your fable
You got no love in your bones
Going up on a suicide ride
Two lost diamonds in the sky
My love used to be alive
Going up on a suicide run
Everybody's gonna get 'em one
A hundred virgins in the sun
How does it feel cold hearted
(So cold hearted)
How does it to be numb
(So cold hearted)
How did it feel when it started
(So cold hearted)
And the end had begun
Going up on a suicide run
Everybody's gonna get 'em one
A hundred virgins in the sun
Going up on a suicide ride
Two lost diamonds in the sky
My love used to be alive
My love used to be alive
My love used to be alive
In Angie Aparo's song Suicide, the lyrics are a reflection of the emotional desolation that one can experience when going through a difficult time. The first stanza poses the question, "How does it feel to be alone?" which sets the tone of the song. It's a cry for help from someone who has lost their footing in life. They are trying to cope with their pain by living in a world of make-believe hence, "Always high on your fable, You got no love in your bones". The second stanza speaks of a fleeting feeling. 'Going up on a suicide ride' implies that they are considering taking their own life. They feel like they are heading towards destruction with no way out. The 'two lost diamonds in the sky' is a metaphor for the doomed romantic relationship that they were in.
In addition, the final stanza repeats the same sentiment about the suicide run. They are anticipating the end; however, the line, “A hundred virgins in the sun" indicates that they are not alone in their emotions. They are joined by others who are also struggling. The last verse is a repetition of the fact that this person's love is now dead, both in the literal sense and emotionally. Their heart is numb, and the end has already begun. Regardless of their current state, they can't help but revisit the past memory of when their love was alive.
