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
Someone To Love You
Tony Lucca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Flow straight into your broken heart
Your dream's been compromised
You give all that you can
You're left betrayed and empty-handed
Now it's time you realize...
The fairy tale's deceiving
Lies walking in and out your door
There's always someone worth searching for
Someone to love you forever
And never ask for more than the same in return
Someone to love you forever and ever
And never ask for more than...
Forever
Let me climb these walls of stone
Make my way on through the dark
Where you reign all alone
I'll give you all I can
Convince your heart to beat again
Hold you tight until the emptiness is gone
The memories are leaving...
Can't let them haunt you anymore
You need to keep believing
You'll find there's someone worth searching for
Someone to love you forever
And never ask for more than the same in return
Someone to love you forever and ever
And never ask for more than...
As far as your eyes can see
Beyond all space and time
Wherever your heart might take you
That's where you'll find...
Someone to love you forever
And never ask for more than the same in return
Someone to love you forever and ever
And never ask for more than...
Someone to love you forever
And never ask for more than the same in return
Someone to love you now
On and on, let me show my love
Won't ever let you go
On and on, let me show my love
Won't ever let you go
On and on, let me show my love
Won't ever let you go
On and on, let me show my love
Won't ever let you go
Someone to love you
Someone to love
Tony Lucca's "Someone To Love You" delves into the complexities of love and heartbreak. The opening lines, "The deep blue rivers of your eyes, flow straight into your broken heart. Your dream's been compromised, you give all that you can," are a vivid depiction of a person who has given their all in love and has been heartbroken. The chorus, "Someone to love you forever and never ask for more than the same in return," is a plea for someone who will love them unconditionally and reciprocate the love they give. The lyrics then take a hopeful turn as Lucca sings, "You need to keep believing, you'll find there's someone worth searching for."
The second verse signifies a sense of urgency as Lucca proclaims, "Let me climb these walls of stone, make my way on through the dark where you reign all alone." He wants to help this person out of their depressed state of mind and bring them back to life. The bridge, "As far as your eyes can see, beyond all space and time, wherever your heart might take you, that's where you'll find," highlights the idea that the person they've been searching for could be anywhere, even in unexpected places.
Overall, "Someone To Love You" is a beautifully poetic song about love and the importance of finding someone who will reciprocate love in the way that we give it.
