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
Feels Like Love
Tony Lucca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Does it chase you in your dreams?
Does rip you up inside, tearin at the seams?
Does it burn up like a star, falling from above?
Does it feel like Love?
Does it make you wanna die,
Or simply fly away?
When there's nothing left to say?
Does it somehow set you free,
When it all comes push to shove?
Does it feel like love?
Because it feels like love...
To me
Does it give you what you need,
When you're forced to do without?
Does it help you to believe,
Beyond the shadows of a doubt?
Even when he's gone,
It's you he's thinking of
Does it feel like love?
Cause it feels like love...
Will you follow it wherever it may lead you?
Will you turn and walk away?
Cast your fears of forever aside
And trust that it's here to... stay
When you wear it on your sleeve, it's hanging by a thread
You're countin butterflies, as you lie awake in bed
It's so hard to contain, and it fits you like a glove
Cause it feels like love
Does it feel like love?
You know it feels like love...
You know it feels like love....
To me
The song "Feels Like Love" by Tony Lucca is a ballad that speaks about the powerful effects of true love on someone's life. The lyrics pose a series of rhetorical questions that try to find out whether the romantic feeling is genuine or not. The first verse asks if love is all-encompassing, if it is recurring in dreams, if it hurts but also heals, and if it is compared to a shooting star. The second verse asks if love is what gives the ultimate meaning to life, if it can make someone feel trapped or liberated, if it is what someone thinks of when they are away from their partner, and finally, if it feels like everything there is.
This song appeals to anybody who has ever been in love deeply because they understand the truth contained in these words. From the separation anxiety described to the sense of exhilaration and freedom that comes when two people are reunited, the song evokes visceral emotions that resonate with different audiences. Additionally, Lucca's smooth and haunting vocals add to the tenderness of the track, giving it a poignant and intimate feel that is hard to miss.
