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.
It's My Life
Bo Bice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thirty thousand miles of shadow
All the silver linings bend into the night
Never any hesitation
Never any explanation
I wish I had a ticket off this flight
Everything keeps moving fast
Right now, I'm closer that I thought I could be
[Chorus]
It's my life, my time to find the answers
Don't always know what kind of road is in front of me
But I'll go slow wanna remember every moment
That this is by the goodness ride has ever been
It's my life
In times I really miss my family
I wonder what they're doing right now
I know their thinking of me
I can't imagine where I'm going
But I know where it is I come from
And it makes me feel complete
Everything keeps moving fast
What I want is what I have
Right now, I'm closer that I thought I could be
[Chorus]
And it's a real good fight
Trying to find what's mine
Tryin' to be who I'm supposed to be
It's my life, its my time to find the answers
Don't always know what kind
But I'll go slow wanna remember every moment
That passes by the goodness ride has every thing
It's my life
Bo Bice's song "It's My Life" is a powerful reflection of a person's journey to find meaning and purpose in their life. The opening lines of the song, "Looking out the airplane window, thirty thousand miles of shadow, all the silver linings bend into the night," capture the desolation and loneliness of being far away from home and the comfort of loved ones. The feelings of displacement and uncertainty are further emphasized in the lines "Never any hesitation, never any explanation, I wish I had a ticket off this flight."
However, amidst the chaos and confusion, the singer finds solace in the fact that he is in control of his own life. The lines "It's my life, my time to find the answers, don't always know what kind of road is in front of me, but I'll go slow wanna remember every moment, that this is the goodness ride has ever been, it's my life" express his determination to live life on his own terms, despite the obstacles and challenges he might face. He understands that life is a journey, and he wants to savor every moment of it, no matter where it takes him.
In the chorus, the singer emphasizes the importance of cherishing every moment of life, whether it's good or bad. He wants to remember every detail, every emotion, and every experience, because he understands that it's what makes life worth living. The lines "It's my life, my time to find the answers, don't always know what kind of road is in front of me, but I'll go slow wanna remember every moment, that this is the goodness ride has ever been, it's my life" encapsulate the message of the song beautifully and inspire listeners to embrace their lives and find their own path.
