Some of his biggest hits are “Ahora y Siempre,” “Maldades” and “Unique.” In 1995 Allen made his first foray to the U.K. where he remains tremendously popular. His most recent recording is the 2006 CD, “Untouchable.”
Allen ad-libs throughout his performances, which adds an exciting element of surprise to his otherwise smooth-as-silk singing style.
Good Morning Heartache
Tito Allen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Good morning heartache, thought we said goodbye last night
I turned and tossed until it seemed you had gone
But here you are with the dawn
Wish I'd forget you, but you're here to stay
It seems I met you when my love went away
Now everyday I start by saying to you
Stop haunting me now
Can't chase you no how
Just leave me alone
I've got those Monday blues
Straight through Sunday blues
Good morning heartache, here we go again
Good morning heartache, you're the one who knew me when
Might as well get used to you hanging around
Good morning heartache, sit down
Stop haunting me now
Can't chase you no how
Just leave me alone
I've got those Monday blues
Straight through Sunday blues
Good morning heartache, here we go again
Good morning heartache, you're the one who knew me when
Might as well get used to you hanging around
Good morning heartache, sit down
In the song "Good Morning Heartache," Tito Allen expresses the feeling of heartbreak and the presence of sorrow in his life even in the morning. The melancholic and solemn tone of the song is apparent in the line "Good morning heartache, you old gloomy sight." He greets his sadness as if it is a person saying good morning to a friend who is always present. This phrase indicates that he is familiar with his pain and has accepted its presence in his life. In the next line, he refers to the moment he said goodbye to the heartache, implying that he wanted to move on from it. However, he spent the night turning and tossing, but the heartache still lingers with the dawn. This implies that he has not been able to rid himself of the pain of the past.
Tito Allen then goes on to explain that he wishes he can forget the pain that haunts him, but he has to accept that it is here to stay. He further admits that his heartache began when his love went away, which suggests that a heartbreak caused his pain. Each day, he begins by acknowledging the presence of this pain by saying, "Good morning heartache, what's new?" The phrase "what's new" implies that he expects his heartache will continue to be present, and he is asking it for an update on how it will affect him today.
The chorus, "Stop haunting me now, I can't chase you no how, just leave me alone," shows a level of frustration with the heartache, but it is still present. Finally, Tito Allen concludes by acknowledging that his heartache will always be present—one that he once knew and must get used to hanging around daily. Therefore, he invites it to sit down, signifying its presence in his life.
