about

Latin influenced track that I wrote after hearing an interveiw with Eddie Palmieri and how much he loved playing songs with the I-II-V-IV progression. Put me right at the piano and this was the result. It's a party!

lyrics

Behind All the Tears
(by John Beccia)

When you are losin’,
Losing a love you thought would last.
Though so confusin’,
You realize the die is cast.
Feeling lost and hopeless, as you confront your deepest fears,
You’ve got to dry your eyes and leave behind all the tears.

Like an illusion
That you can see but cannot touch.
That you are using,
Depending on one thing too much.
You can never measure someone’s ability to care
You just ignore the lies and leave behind all the tears

It’s the light, not darkness, that seems to blind us with it’s sight.
We look to who we are and we try to make it thru, make it thru the night

It’s so abusing,
When you can never let it go
It’s not amusing
If you believe you think you know
Why it ever happened, and yet the cause is never clear)
You’ve got to redefine and leave behind all the tears
And leave behind all the tears
