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.
It's Real
Tony Momrelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the rain has lost its grip
The journey is never ending
But we'll battle on with it
And though the dream is a struggle
We always find a strength to believe
And though we are in their line of fire
There's an innocence of power
More than any words could speak
Just to know that you are with me
I'll gladly face it all over again, again
Did you ever imagine we'd be standing here today
Overcame every hurdle and we've learnt along the way
That it doesn't matter what they say or how they feel
As long as you know and I know it's real
Let them argue and debate
Even throw their stones of hate
Cuz we're love, it has no colour
And we'll not discriminate
And we'll hide within its walls
When the loads too much to take
From the pain, oh from the pain
We'll continue to believe
That I will start again
We will stand and find a corner
Until the bitter end
And as first this they heard us
The quicker we will mend, we will mend
Did you ever imagine we'd be standing here today
Overcame every hurdle and we've learnt along the way
That it doesn't matter what they say or how they feel
As long as you know and I know it's real
Did you ever imagine we'd be standing here today
Overcame every hurdle and we've learnt along the way
That the only thing that matters and time has revealed
As you know and I know the deal
You know and I know how we feel
You know and I know it's real

All clouds are gone again

We find the inner strength to continue believing in ourselves and our dreams

Overcame every hurdle and we've learnt along the way
We have faced many obstacles and have grown and learned from them

Love does not discriminate based on race or ethnicity
And we'll not discriminate
We will not judge others based on their race or ethnicity
And we'll hide within its walls
We will seek refuge in love during difficult times
When the loads too much to take
When the burden becomes too heavy to bear
From the pain, oh from the pain
From the emotional and physical pain we may experience
We'll continue to believe
We will hold onto our beliefs and dreams
That I will start again
We will pick ourselves up and start anew
We will stand and find a corner
We will stand our ground and prepare for the challenges ahead
Until the bitter end
We will persist until the very end
And as first this they heard us
We will not be silenced or ignored
The quicker we will mend, we will mend
The sooner we take action, the sooner we will heal
That the only thing that matters and time has revealed
Time has shown us that the only thing that truly matters is our beliefs and values
As you know and I know the deal
We both understand the situation and what needs to be done
You know and I know how we feel
We both understand our emotions and feelings
You know and I know it's real
We both know that our beliefs and dreams are real
