1. Toronto was a Canadian rock band from the late seventies and early eighties who have been compared to Heart and Pat Benatar. They were formed in the late 1970s in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, when singer Annie "Holly" Woods met guitarist Brian Allen. The band's constantly shifting line-up was originally augmented by guitarist/backing vocalist Sharon Alton, keyboardist Scott Kreyer, bassist Nick Costello, and drummer Jimmy Fox.
Their first album, Lookin' for Trouble, was released in 1980, and the title track was a Top 40 hit in Canada. Head On (1981) followed , after which Costello and Fox left the band to be replaced by Gary LaLonde (later of Honeymoon Suite) and Barry Connors (later of Coney Hatch).
This sextet recorded Get It On Credit (1982), with Your Daddy Don't Know perhaps being their best known hit on the 1982 album. Lalonde was then replaced by Mike Gingrich for 1983's Girls' Night Out. This album also received attention, as did the band's Greatest Hits album of 1984.
There were subsequently several exits and entrances in 1984/85, with founding members Allen and Alton leaving, along with drummer Connors. They were replaced by Marty Walsh (guitars), Daryl Alvara (guitars) and Paul Hanna (drums), and the band rechristened themselves Toronto & Holly Woods. In 1985, the re-vamped sextet released their final album, Assault & Flattery. It featured the single New Romance, written by Holly Knight and Anton Fig.
2005 saw Toronto play at Voyageur Days Festival in Mattawa, Ontario, Canada (near North Bay) with other Canadian classic rockers Moxy, Chilliwack, Trooper, Goddo, Killer Dwarfs and Ray Lyell for the 30th anniversary of the release of the debut album by the band Moxy.

Look at what I saw, this the new shit, not at malls
Flex on hold, I'm regrouping, check my calls
That's not my fault, you broke, that's not my fault
Had a lot, I'm still gon' have a lot

She wants my num. But hold up what's the run?

Bloody ray, my shoes looks bloody ray

In Toronto's song "All I Need," the lyrics reflect a heartbroken individual struggling to come to terms with the absence of love from their life. The first verse suggests the pain this person feels is overwhelming, and there is no apparent way to reduce it. They are struggling to differentiate between what true love is and what is simply not enough. The feelings of despair intensify in the second verse, the person thinks of their former lover, and the boys that come and go cannot compare to them. The chorus repeats the need for 'something called love.' The bridge is particularly striking as the lyrics talk about the desperate and fruitless attempts the person made to save their relationship by taking their partner on an exotic trip, but it was to no avail.
Line by Line Meaning
There are no ways to ease the pain
The pain of losing your love cannot be comforted by any means
Your love is gone, it's not the same
After losing your love, everything feels different and nothing can replace it
It's hard to know what is real love
It is difficult to distinguish genuine love from other types of affection
It's hard to know what is enough
It's unclear how much love is enough for a person to feel satisfied
No words, no phrases
There are no words or expressions that can capture the magnitude of the loss
In silence, no love at all
Even in the quiet moments, the absence of love is felt
No love at all
There is no love to be found anywhere
I need a little bit of something called love
What is required is a small amount of affection known as love
All I need is a little bit more
Only a little bit more than what is already available is required to feel complete again
The days are long, the nights are too
The emptiness of not having your love makes the days and nights feel longer
The crying starts, I think of you
Thinking of the lost love brings about tears
The boys they come, the boys they go
Other potential partners enter and exit one's life
But you don't come, I just don't know
The absence of the one person that is truly wanted makes it difficult to understand why they aren't returning
I took you on a trip down to St. Luciene
I went on a trip with you to St. Luciene to try to make us happy
I took you half way 'round the world
I went with you to many different places to try to keep the love alive
Why you wanna live in a hut in Mexico
It's unclear why you want to live in a simple place like Mexico
With that other girl
It's painful to think that you may be happy with someone else instead of me
