He grew up in Humble, Texas, where music was a refuge from his abusive, alcoholic father. While still in high school, he was touring in Europe and the USA. He began formal music education at the Peabody Conservatory of Music where he met his wife, Debbie. (She has played viola on some of David's releases such as ONCE IN A LIFETIME).

Meece often incorporates classical piano works into his songs. "This Time" (from LEARNING TO TRUST) borrows its opening section, bridge and ending tag from Chopin's "Revolutionary Etude" (Op. 10, No. 12) in C minor. Similarly, the introductory melody for "You Can Go" (from the album 7) is taken from Bach's Two-Part Invention No. 13 in A Minor (BWV 784) and "Falling Down" (from COUNT THE COST) has its basis in a sonata by Mozart.

His song "We Are the Reason" has been recorded by over 200 other artists and CHRONOLOGY's "Seventy-Times-Seven" peaked at No. 77 in Australia's Top 100 chart. David worked with Canadian Juno Award winner Gino Vannelli for his albums CHRONOLOGY and CANDLE IN THE RAIN.

David and his wife currently live in Franklin, Tennessee.

It's Gonna Be So Lovely
David Meece Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We were always having to hurry
Every time we said hello
With leaving always staring at us

We would have talked for hours
But the walls of time were there
Ever closing in on us
And our lives had boundaries

Chorus:
It's gonna be so lovely
When we are all together
It's gonna be so lovely
When we are all together forever- forever

I want my family beside me
But the miles are in-between where we are –
And the places we call home

(Repeat Chorus)

Overall Meaning

The song "It's Gonna Be So Lovely" by David Meece depicts the longing for a future moment when a family will finally be reunited together with no distance and everything will be perfect. The opening lyrics reflect the feeling of rushing every time the family members meet due to the limited time they have to spend together. The mention of "leaving always staring at us" represents the constant pressure to end their time together and the unpleasantness of separation. The lines, "But the walls of time were there/ Ever closing in on us/ And our lives had boundaries" display the regret of not having enough time and situations in life that divide them physically and emotionally.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the hope and faith that the future will be better, and they will all be together forever. The repetition of the phrase "It's gonna be so lovely" serves as a form of reassurance and comfort. The second verse reiterates the separation obstacle, expressing the desire to have family members nearby, but the miles between them are unavoidable complications. Ultimately, the song is about missing family and long-distance relationships that highlight how the burdens of life can upset the joy of togetherness.

Line by Line Meaning

We were always having to hurry
We were constantly rushed

Every time we said hello
We never had time to truly catch up

With leaving always staring at us
We always knew our time was limited

We would have talked for hours
We had plenty to catch up on

But the walls of time were there
We were constrained by time

Ever closing in on us
Time only seemed to get shorter

And our lives had boundaries
We were limited by our responsibilities

It's gonna be so lovely
The future will be wonderful

When we are all together
When we finally reunite

Forever- forever
And we won't have to say goodbye again

I want my family beside me
Being with family is important to me
