Before his stint in Incognito, Momrelle was already a solo recording artist who released two studio albums under his name. Also, he was once a member of gospel music group Seven. In a year, he toured with both D'Sound, and the Brand New Heavies as a guest performer. His success in touring impressed Incognito's frontman, Bluey Maunick, and he offered him the job as the vocalist of the acid-jazz outfit.
He made his Incognito full-debut on the band's 2006 album, Bees + Things + Flowers, in which he contributed as a main vocalist.
All I Need
Tony Momrelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Locked up in the corner
With no escape
I was broken and bruised
Holding to the past as I was blue
Oh, but there you were
Standing into save the day
And you touched my head
Right there and then
Everything faded
Everything changed
You're all I need
To bring all my dreams to reality
(Baby) You are the one I need
To come to my rescue
And set me free
Now I feel I can fly
You gave me the will
To wanna touch the sky
And I don't ever wanna come down again
Just stay with me baby
Until the end
Oh, cuz you got it all
I don't wanna let you go
And I'm willing to fall
And just get up
I can't do without you
I want you to know
You're all I need
To bring all my dreams to reality
You are the one I need
To come to my rescue
And set me free
Yesterday I thought I was a loser
But today, I see with you, my future
This is it, my fate is just being with you
Now I have you
You're all I need
To bring all my dreams to reality
You are the one I need
To rescue me and set me free
You're the one I need
You're the one I need
You're the one I need
To rescue me and set me free
To rescue me and set me free
To rescue me and set me free
The lyrics to Tony Momrelle's song "All I Need" depict a sense of despair and hopelessness that the singer is feeling, as if they were "tangled in chains" and locked up in a corner with no way to escape. However, the arrival of the love interest changes everything. The love interest is portrayed as their savior, who touched their head and made everything fade away. This is a metaphor for the love interest's ability to heal the singer's emotional wounds and make them feel whole again.
The singer then goes on to describe how the love interest has given them the will to pursue their dreams and to feel like they can "fly" and touch the sky. The sense of freedom and liberation is also conveyed through the repeated phrase "set me free." The singer admits that in the past they thought they were a "loser," but now they see a future with the love interest by their side. The love interest is described as being everything the singer needs to bring their dreams to reality.
This song is a powerful representation of the way love can heal us and give us a sense of purpose and hope. The lyrics use vivid imagery to convey the singer's emotional journey from despair to hope and freedom. The song is a testament to the transformative power of love and the importance of having someone we can rely on to be our "rescuer" when we need it most.
