Traveling Alone
The Tony Rich Project Lyrics
If you had to remember when you heard the first lie
Was the truth really hidden
Or did it flee from your mind
If you had to recount
Every word that they said
Who knows when you realize it
The illusions are there
[Chorus]
Traveling alone in a world where you feel you don't belong
So you're traveling alone in a world where you feel you don't belong
So you put your foot down, let yourself go
Every mountain gets steeper
EVery road leads to sway
Always some form of trouble
That appears in your way
You seem so, so determined
You are rid of your fears
If the voices are angels
Then your path is quite clear
[Chorus]
Traveling alone in a world where you feel you don't belong
You're even thinking bout things that don't matter to the average joe
So you're traveling alone in a world where you feel you don't belong
So you put your foot down, let yourself go
And if you could ever imagine
Would you ever see the mellifluatic conscience
Oh please your soul
If this world was made of women so then would we find a corporate,
I don't think so
Women make the world pure
Men... we're just all about business
Power, money, sex with the secretary
[Chorus X 4]
Traveling alone in a world where you feel you don't belong
You're even thinking bout things that don't matter to the average joe
So you're traveling alone in a world where you feel you don't belong
So you put your foot down, let yourself go

While living in Detroit, Rich started playing in jazz fusion and soul bands and worked with local Detroit songwriters. It was at this time that John Salley, Detroit Pistons player and record producer, encouraged Rich to work with his artists and to even make his own tracks.
Meeting with R&B singer Pebbles, Tony Rich was introduced to her then-husband L.A. Reid. As co-founder of LaFace Records, Reid convinced Rich to move to Atlanta and to begin writing and producing for established acts. One of Rich's first projects was a session with Elton John and Sounds of Blackness for a Curtis Mayfield tribute LP. He then expanded his portfolio to include work with the previously mentioned stars.
In early 1996, Rich made his solo debut with the cd Words and the hit single Nobody Knows, which made it to number 2 on the top 100. Both the album and single went platinum and in 1997, Tony Rich won the Grammy for Best Male R&B album. The album featured two Grammy-nominated singles, Like A Woman and Nobody Knows.
The album was followed up in 1998 by Birdseye which, while critically praised, failed to generate much commercial success. Rich seemingly disappeared from the music world for several years after his album's release.
In 2003, Rich came back on the scene with the album Resurrected. Carrying a very different style this time around, the album featured Rich rocking out on the guitar as well as singing smooth ballads.
In 2006, Rich released a fourth album, Pictures. The album contains snapshots of a relationship, and is far more in the veins of his earlier works.
In 2008, he released his fifth album, Exist through Hidden Beach Recordings. Originally it was set for release on September 16, however it was pushed back to September 23, 2008. The album features download-only single, Part the Waves.
