Dice learned to play the guitar as a child, began songwriting in his early teens and at the age of 15 joined band The Dice, using Tom Eeckhout Dice as his stage name.

In 2008 he entered the Flemish X Factor and, with Maurice Engelen as his vocal coach, finished runner-up to Dirk De Smet. Following X Factor, Dice became the first signing to new label SonicAngel, and in June 2009, now under the name of Tom Dice, released his first single, an acoustic cover of Leona Lewis' Bleeding Love. The single went on to reach number 7 on the Flemish singles chart during a 14-week chart run. Dice received a nomination in the 2009 TMF Awards in the category "Best New Artist", losing out to Jasper Erkens.

In May 2009, Dice began working, again with Engelen, on his debut album, which was originally scheduled for an October 2009 release, but has yet to be issued.

On 25 November 2009, Dice was chosen by the Flemish broadcaster Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroep (VRT) to represent Belgium at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in Oslo, Norway. His distinctive voice and TV experience were cited among the factors behind his selection. Reaction in Belgium to the announcement that Dice had been chosen by internal means was mixed, with some feeling that an open and public selection involving different artists would have been preferable.
The chosen song "Me and My Guitar" was unveiled on 7 March 2010. Dice will perform in the first semi-final in Oslo on 25 May 2010.

Too Late
Tom Dice Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's too late,
I'll try to forget all the things that happened
You said that I was wrong, thinking that we could always be together

[chorus:]
I guess that you were right, right about yourself
You didn't even love me anyway,
but I still love you, even if you slap me every day

I'll do anything if only you would love me forever

It's too late,
trying to call you 'bout the things that happened
you won't even listen
was I that easy to forget forever?

[chorus:]
I guess that you were right, right about yourself
You didn't even love me anyway,
but I still love you, even if you slap me every day
I'll do anything if only you would love me forever/were loving me forever

you told me I was beautiful, now was that a lie?
I wish I was beautiful,
'cause if I was than maybe I could see your lovely eyes
it's too late
trying to remember all our moments together

now what if I was right, right about yourself
maybe you could love me someday
'cause I still love you
the dream that I would kiss you today
I'll do anything if only you were loving me forever

what if I was right, right about ourself
maybe you could love me someday

'cause I still love you, the dream that I would kissing you today
I'll do anything, if only you were loving me forever

He is now trying to forget all the things that happened between them and has come to terms with the fact that his love interest was right when they said that they could never be together. Despite that, the singer is still deeply in love with them, even if they mistreat him every day. He is willing to do anything to make them love him forever, but it seems that it's too little too late - they won't even listen to him anymore.

The lyrics of the song convey a sense of regret and longing that is all too relatable. The singer is grappling with the realization that the relationship is over and that the person he loves never really loved him back. The chorus is especially poignant, as the singer concedes that his love interest was right about them not being able to be together. The line "but I still love you, even if you slap me every day" is particularly striking, as it suggests that the singer is willing to put up with any kind of mistreatment just for the sake of being with the person he loves.

Overall, "Too Late" is a powerful song that captures the pain of unrequited love and the difficulty of moving on from a failed relationship.
