After 'RENT', Vincent was off to London after being cast in a cutting-edge film of 'Jesus Christ Superstar;. Vincent later returned to New York to appear in the Broadway revival of "Superstar". As the lead role of Judas Iscariot. After a successful broadway run, Vincent started development work for a new record spending considerable time collaborating with other writer-producers in Los Angeles, New York, Woodstock, Sweden, and London.
While taking time to write in London, Vincent was invited to audition for Brian May, Roger Taylor and Ben Elton. Vincent was cast as the lead role of Galileo Gigaro in the notorious rock band, Queen's world premiere production of 'WE WILL ROCK YOU'. Vincent spent two years with the show playing to sold-out audiences at nearly every performance. Once 'WE WILL ROCK YOU' became a solid hit in London, producers invited Vincent to open the first American company in a new permanent theater at the Paris, Las Vegas Resort.
Later, in 2010, Vincent joined Broadway once again in the Tony Award Winning musical production of American Idiot. Based on the highly successful Grammy award winning album 'American Idiot' by Green Day. His performance of 'St. Jimmy', the drug addicted alter ego of 'Johnny/Jesus of Suburbia' got him nominated for the Drama League Award of 'Distinguished Performance' and 'Favourite Performance by a Featured Actor in a Broadway Musical' by Broadway.com Audience Award. Vincent left the performance briefly from September 27, 2010 to October 3, 2010. Then completely leaving the production in January 2011.
Now in 2012, Vincent is staring on the hit show, 'The Voice'. A show much like 'American Idol' but focusing completely on the singer's voice instead of looks as well. During the 'Blind auditions' (the judges were to turn around while the singer performed), Vincent chose 'We Are the Champions. And was chosen to be worked with by the extremely talented artist Cee Lo Green who is famous for his song 'Forget You (F*** You)' and 'Crazy'. The show is currently still in production.
Winter
Tony Vincent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She knows how much I miss her
So she lets me kiss her
Before she melts away
Summer
I tell her that I love her
So she lets me touch her
I don't know why it is
I find love and leave it
Again and again
This is not the way I wanted to live
Another wasted year
Another wasted year
Autumn
Came and I forgot 'em
The way her colors blossom
Leaves me on the ground
Springtime
Everytime her sun shines
Makes me wish she was mine
But she never sticks around
I don't know why it is
I find love and leave it
Again and again
This is not the way I wanted to live
Another wasted year
Another wasted year
Maybe
You may think I'm crazy
The way my heart betrays me, yeah
As the seasons change
As the seasons change
As the seasons change
As the seasons change
But you are just the same
The lyrics in Tony Vincent's song "Winter" evoke a sense of longing and impermanence as the singer describes his fleeting encounters with different seasons personified as love interests. In the opening verse, Winter is portrayed as a transient lover who allows the singer a brief moment of intimacy before disappearing, highlighting the transient nature of relationships and the pain of watching something you care about fade away.
The subsequent verses explore the cyclical nature of love and the singer's inability to hold onto it. Summer and Spring are described as love interests who also eventually slip away, leaving the singer feeling unsatisfied and longing for something more enduring. The repeated refrain of "Another wasted year" suggests a pattern of failed relationships and missed opportunities, emphasizing the theme of impermanence and loss.
The mention of Autumn symbolizes a forgotten love, underscoring the idea of missed connections and the passage of time. The singer's struggle with finding lasting love is further emphasized in the juxtaposition of fleeting moments with each season, highlighting a sense of frustration and longing for something more stable and lasting.
The closing lines of the song suggest a sense of resignation and acceptance of the recurring cycle of failed relationships. The singer acknowledges his own patterns of behavior and the inevitability of change, yet expresses a sense of disillusionment with the idea that despite the changing seasons, he finds himself stuck in a loop of longing and loss. The final lines, "But you are just the same," seem to reflect a realization that perhaps the problem lies within himself and his own inability to break free from this cycle, ultimately leaving him in a state of emotional turmoil and confusion.
Line by Line Meaning
Winter
Reflecting on a love that is fleeting like the season of winter
She knows how much I miss her
Acknowledging the depth of longing for the lost love
So she lets me kiss her
Allowing brief moments of closeness before disappearing
Before she melts away
Vanishing into the cold, leaving only memories behind
Summer
Recalling a love that burns bright like the season of summer
I tell her that I love her
Expressing affection for a love that is temporary
So she lets me touch her
Permitting physical contact before eventually leaving
Until she slips away
Disappearing like the warmth of summer fades into fall
I don't know why it is
Confusion over the pattern of finding and losing love repeatedly
I find love and leave it
Discovering love only to have it disappear once more
Again and again
Repeatedly experiencing the cycle of brief connections and inevitable endings
This is not the way I wanted to live
Realizing that a life of transient love is not fulfilling
Another wasted year
Regretting lost time spent in fleeting relationships
Another wasted year
Another year gone by with temporary loves that don't last
Autumn
The season brings reminders of past loves and their fleeting nature
Came and I forgot 'em
Old loves are remembered as the leaves fall and change color
The way her colors blossom
Memories of love lost bloom like autumn leaves
Leaves me on the ground
Left feeling grounded and downhearted by the changing seasons
Springtime
Yearning for a new beginning in a season of growth and renewal
Everytime her sun shines
Feeling hopeful when love seems possible again
Makes me wish she was mine
Longing for a love that feels lasting and true
But she never sticks around
Realizing that love, like springtime, is fleeting and temporary
Maybe
Considering the possibility of breaking the cycle of lost love
You may think I'm crazy
Recognizing that others may not understand the struggle with transient love
The way my heart betrays me, yeah
Feeling let down by one's own heart in its pursuit of temporary love
As the seasons change
Continuing to experience the rise and fall of love with the passing of time
But you are just the same
Realizing that despite changing seasons, the pattern of love remains unchanged
