In 1997, Lucca took to the internet with his independent debut, So Satisfied. Having sold 2000 copies within a year, he then followed that up with the 1999 release, Strong Words, Softly Spoken. With only the internet and constant touring, Lucca went on to sell a total of 10,000 records in just a few short years. After garnering the 2001 LA Music Award for best male singer/songwriter, Tony Lucca had created quite a buzz with industry insiders and managed to take to the road opening for recording mega stars like *NSync and Marc Anthony, sharing the stage with a diverse array of artists such as Macy Gray, Johnny Lang, and the late great Chris Whitley.
After several years of indy perseverance, Lucca released his first commercially distributed album in 2004. Shotgun, the consummate road trip record, takes the listener for a ride.
In 2005, Lucca released Anatomy of a Blackbird, a live concert dvd with a close-up, behind the scenes look at life on the road during his 2004 California tour. The documentary and 12 song set give an honest glimpse into the world of an artist hard at work and enjoying every minute of it.
August of 2006 ushered in the release of Lucca's 4th full length studio effort, Canyon Songs. This collection of songs was written and recorded entirely up in the canyons of Los Angeles. Canyon Songs is an homage to the thriving singer/songwriter spirit of the late 60's and early 70's that took Laurel Cayon out of it's mystical obscurity and placed it right dead smack in the middle of mainstream poular music. From the Joni Mitchell-laced "Songbird" to the Eagles-like "Darlin' I" Lucca reveals his earliest influences with the kind of maturity and respect that only comes with time. It's here that Lucca expresses his appreciation for song in a way that seems to be absent in so much of today's contemporary music.
The consummate live performer, Lucca has etched out an extensive national following. From the folk-friendly venues of the lower East side, to the hype-crazed clubs on the Sunset Strip, and with the help of a national street team of close to 1000 devoted listeners, Tony Lucca has made a rather impressive name for himself as an artist not to be missed
Catch Me
Tony Lucca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How beautiful was last night?
Woke up in your arms again
Your face before my eyes
Another plane, another show
It's getting hard to let go
Never was real good at goodbyes
How alone is lonely?
How long does the longing last?
I'm past the point of trying
To understand it all
Will you catch me if I fall
Like a season?
Will you catch me if I call
For no reason at all?
After I'm all out of reasons to run around
Will you catch me coming down, down?
Curtains drawn, ovations ring
The weight of every word you sing
Is spread out like a secret
Of what you feel deep down
Hotel room and city view
To the phone, I reach for you
Party's over, no one's around
How alone is lonely?
How long does the longing last?
I'm past the point of trying
To understand it all
Will you catch me if I fall
Like a season?
Will you catch me if I call
For no reason at all?
And after I'm all out of reasons to run around
Will you catch me coming down?
I'll save your message
If you call me right back
When I tell you, "I miss you"
Just say you might miss me too, oh
I'm falling for you, baby
I'm falling for you, baby
I'm falling for you, baby
Will you catch me if I fall
Like a season?
Will you catch me if I call
For no reason at all?
And after I'm all out of reasons
You gonna catch me if I fall?
You gonna catch me if I call?
After I'm all out of reasons
Will you catch me if I fall
Like a season?
Will you catch me if I call
With no reason at all?
And after I'm all out of reasons to run around
Will you catch me coming down?
The song "Catch Me" by Tony Lucca is a heartfelt ballad about love and vulnerability. The song begins with the singer waking up in the morning after spending the night with someone they love. They ask themselves "How beautiful was last night?" and express their desire to stay in their lover's arms forever. However, reality sets in as they have to leave and head to another show, making it hard to let go, but they've never been good at goodbyes.
Throughout the song, the singer grapples with the meaning of loneliness and the longevity of a relationship. They acknowledge that they are past the point of understanding it all, but they still need reassurance that their lover will be there to catch them if they fall. They question if their significant other will be there through all the seasons of life, both the highs and lows. They ask if they will be caught if they call for no reason at all, and if they will be caught even when they are all out of reasons to run around.
The song ends on a hopeful note as the singer expresses their love for their partner and asks if they will catch them if they fall. The repeated question of "Will you catch me?" emphasizes the vulnerability and uncertainty of love, but it also shows the importance of having a partner who will always be there to support you.
Overall, "Catch Me" is a poignant and relatable song about the complexities of love, the fear of vulnerability, and the importance of having someone to rely on.

A new day dawns the morning light
A new day has started with the sunrise
How beautiful was last night?
Asking how amazing last night was
Woke up in your arms again
Woke up with the person he loves
Your face before my eyes
Thinking about the person's face
Another plane, another show
Traveling to another performance
It's getting hard to let go
Becoming difficult to move on from the past
Never was real good at goodbyes
Not skilled at saying farewell
How alone is lonely?
Asking how solitude feels
How long does the longing last?
Wondering how much time the yearning will endure
I'm past the point of trying to understand it all
No longer attempting to comprehend everything
Will you catch me if I fall like a season?
Asking if the person will be there to help him when needed
Will you catch me if I call for no reason at all?
Asking if the person will be there to comfort him without any specific reason
After I'm all out of reasons to run around
After he has no more excuses to be busy
Will you catch me coming down, down?
Asking if the person will support him when he falls
Curtains drawn, ovations ring
Performance is about to end with applause
The weight of every word you sing
The intensity of the emotions conveyed in the performance
Is spread out like a secret
Revealed like a personal truth
Of what you feel deep down
Expressing the profound emotions
Hotel room and city view
Observing the urban landscape from a temporary accommodation
To the phone, I reach for you
Wishing for the person's presence on the phone
Party's over, no one's around
Celebration has ended, and no one is left
I'll save your message if you call me right back
Saving the person's message if there is an immediate call-back
When I tell you, 'I miss you'
Expressing a feeling of loss
Just say you might miss me too, oh
Requesting for the other person's return of emotions
I'm falling for you, baby
Falling in love with the other person
You gonna catch me if I fall?
Asking if the other person will support him when he falls
You gonna catch me if I call?
Asking if the other person will comfort him when he needs it
