Bo's first album, titled The Real Thing, was released on December 13th, 2005. It includes several original songs on which Bo shares writing credit such as “It’s My Life”, which Bo wrote with Clif Magness and Kara DioGuardi.
Bo's second album, "See The Light" was released October 23, 2007. It was recorded in his own studio, and under his own independent record label, Sugar Money (teamed up with StratArt for that project). The album was co-produced by Bo and Frank Liddell. The songs (all written by Bo, some in collaboration with friends) reflect a diverse spectrum--from all-out southern rock, country, funk, to emotional ballads.
I'm Gone
Bo Bice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Show you how it feels to be alone
I can't find the rhyme within her reason
Guess it's time for me to just move on.
Chorus
Cause I'm gone
I'm gone
Traveling down this lonely road
A friend to the wind and the sky's my home
Traveling down this road yet I'm all alone
But I'm gone
Another coffee smoke-filled Sunday morning
She's in the other room but not at home
I've tried everything to please that woman
The beauty's in the sparkle not the stone
Chorus
But I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm gone
Traveling down this lonely road
A friend to the wind and the sky's my home
Traveling down this road yet I'm all alone
But I'm gone
I don't worry about tomorrow
I find out a mile on down the road
Chorus
That I'm Gone
Traveling down this lonely road
Friend to the wind and the sky's my home
Traveling down this road yet I'm all alone
But I'm gone
The lyrics of Bo Bice's song "I'm Gone" express a sense of determination and liberation on the part of the singer, as he declares that he is going to give "leaving a brand new meaning" and show his partner "how it feels to be alone." The singer is clearly dissatisfied with his current relationship, and can't seem to find a way to make things work ("I can't find the rhyme within her reason"). Instead, he has decided that it is time for him to move on and start a new chapter in his life, even if that means traveling down a "lonely road" by himself.
The second verse of the song adds more detail to the singer's situation, as he describes another typical Sunday morning with his partner. Although they are physically together, the singer still feels alone and disconnected ("She's in the other room but not at home"). He has tried everything to make his partner happy, but realizes that true beauty is not in material things, but in the intangible qualities that make a person unique and special.
Overall, "I'm Gone" is a song about taking control of one's life and making difficult decisions in order to pursue one's own happiness. The singer is fed up with a relationship that is not fulfilling and decides to leave in order to find a new sense of purpose and direction. Through the singer's passionate delivery, the listener can sense both the pain of letting go and the excitement of a new adventure.
