Born in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, Page grew up in nearby West Caldwell. He graduated from James Caldwell High School with the class of 1985.
Page was 16 when he was a cloakroom attendant in a popular New York nightclub called Nell's, taking the coats of stars such as Whitney Houston, Rob Lowe, and the Beastie Boys. The job gave Page a chance to play his demo tape to the house DJ, who then used the demos as part of his club mixes. The unknown sounds were so impressive that soon Page was introduced to Sire Records founder Seymour Stein, who had previously launched the careers of Madonna and the Ramones.
When Page turned 18, he was asked to write the theme tune of the film Shag and later released it as his first single. Page's self-titled debut album was released by Sire/Warner Bros. Records in November 1988 and contained hits such as "A Zillion Kisses," "Turning Me On," "I Think I'm in Love," and "A Shoulder to Cry On".
The follow-up album, Paintings in My Mind (which was dedicated to his grandmother) gave Page his first No. 1 single in the U.S., "I'll Be Your Everything," a song that was written with and features New Kids on the Block. Other singles from the album that were released after that were "When I Dream of You" and "Turn on the Radio" (another New Kids on the Block collaboration). The album also features "Don't Give Up on Love," a duet with Latin freestyle singer Sa-Fire. Sa-Fire & Page co-wrote the song, which was released as a single overseas.
Page's third album was titled From the Heart, and his vocals there showcased a wider range with higher notes than previous efforts. On this album, the ballads were more orchestral. Tommy cited the songs in the album were inspired by the current music trend of Wilson Phillips. The first single, "Whenever You Close Your Eyes," saw Page working with Michael Bolton and Diane Warren. "Under the Rainbow" and "Madly in Love" were released as singles afterward.
As an appreciation to his fans in Asia, Page released another album, A Friend to Rely On. It contains the duet with Sally Yeh as mentioned above as well as a remake of Nik Kershaw's "Wouldn't It Be Good" and a song penned with Donna DeLory (Madonna's backing singer) called "Heaven In Your Eyes." As house music was the current trend, the upbeat songs were produced in such form.
Before releasing his next album, Time, in 1994, Page replaced Donny Osmond for three months in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Broadway musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Page concentrated on releasing his other albums after that in Asia, especially after he signed with the Japanese label Pony Canyon Records. In 1995, he released his first compilation album, Greatest Hits: Dedicated to You. A year after that, his next album, Loving You, was released and it contains a duet with Amy Mastura (from Malaysia), "The Best Part" and a cover song of John Waite's 1984 hit "Missing You".
Ten 'Til Midnight, was only available for sale on-line, which was released in 2000. In 2003 he put out a DVD collection of his music videos, which is on sale through his website www.tommy-page.com. Page is one of the producers on Tennessee Girl's album Guilty Pleasures. He is also a friend of Tiffany; the two recorded "Close Our Eyes" together.
Page also appeared on an episode of Full House, singing to Stephanie Tanner on her tenth birthday, but began courting DJ, much to Stephanie's dismay.
In 2011, after a successful stint as an executive at Warner Bros. Records, where he helped to shape the careers of Michael BublΓ©, Alanis Morissette, Josh Groban, and Green Day, among others, he joined Billboard as publisher. He held that role for two years and was responsible for the successful relauch of the brand. As a publisher he created new features such as the Industry Icon Award as well as the infamous Power 100 List.
In April 2013, Tommy Page joined Pandora Internet Media as Head of Music Partnerships. He led the Artist Partnerships, Branded Content and Events Team.
In 2015, Page released a single titled "I Break Down 2015", a slower version of his 1990 song of the same name.
In June 2016, Page released an 18 track CD of his greatest ballads titled My Favorites, which included the 2015 single, "I Break Down 2015" (with vocals and instrumental version). The CD was only available for sale on his website.
He was found dead on Friday March 3rd, 2017, from an apparent suicide.
I'm Falling in Love
Tommy Page Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shining through my window
But I'm not asleep
Because I miss you so
If you could have known
The way I felt today
And this feeling's real
Oh why'd you go away
[Chorus:]
Well I think I'm in love
You're so far away
It's too late to say
I'm in love
Well I think I'm in love
If I could have your heart
For just one more day
I would tell you dear
That I'd wish you'd stay
Now you're gone for good
And I can't take the pain
Oh I'll be here for you
I wish you'd feel the same
[Chorus]
Tommy Page's "I'm Falling in Love" is a slow ballad that talks about missing someone who is far away. The song starts by setting the scene with a winter moon shining through the window. The singer reveals that he is not asleep because he misses someone so much. He expresses his wish that the person he misses could have known how he feels today. The feeling is real, but the person who left is no longer there, leaving a void in the singer's life.
The chorus talks about how the singer thinks he is in love, despite the distance between him and the person he misses. It's too late to say it, but the feeling persists. The second verse talks about how the singer wants to have his loved one's heart for just one more day. He wishes he could tell that person how he feels and how he wishes they had stayed with him. The person is gone for good, causing unbearable pain, but the singer hopes that the person he misses feels the same way.
Overall, "I'm Falling in Love" is a melancholy ballad that expresses the pain of distance and missing someone dearly. The lyrics capture the longing for closeness that distance creates, as well as the regret of not expressing feelings sooner.
