For Thirty Long Years He's been writing The Rest Of The Song
Singer songwriter Billy Falcon grew up in a middle class Italian family from Rosedale Queens. Since his youth Billy was blessed with the ability to put life experiences into songs that paint pictures with words. He has described himself as being a reporter who writes about what he experiences in his own personal life; the day to day struggles that are universal in their reflection of the American human experience.
Billy as you may know has been making great music for over thirty years now.
Perhaps you remember Power Windows Pretty Blue World or Wonder Years;
Or you’ve heard the songs he’s written for others: Trace Adkins Manfred Mann or Stevie Nicks; or perhaps the songs he’s penned with Jon Bon Jovi like Just Older Last Man Standing or Bounce?
Well he’s back with a dozen new songs that capture the Joy the Sorrow, the Struggle, the Hope;
In a recent discussion about the new record he had this to say:
I started writing and singing songs when I was 8 years old. It’s all I ever wanted to do. Sometimes it feels like a curse but when its right when my stupid little brain connects with something outside and I’m able to write something smarter than I am that moves people to smile laugh, cry, hope, believe, to think a better thought then I know that God’s given me a gift and I’m using it. When that happens I swear I feel like I’m flying. Flying is good. I hope you get what I’m saying.
I recently made the decision to write more and start a band with friends and that’s what I did. My friends Michael Spears Johnny Telucci, Joe Porter, and Brian Hall came over to the house with their guitars drums, amps, and keyboards. We started making a lot of noise like when I was 15 in my mother’s basement.
After the first rehearsal I called Michael and said "Michael what do you think am I out of my mind trying to do this at this stage of the game do these songs suck"? Of course Michael answered yes to my questions. {Just kidding} With those voices in my head telling me that this was a silly idea I continued to rehearse with the band.
Every week I added a song or two. And after a few weeks it started to sound like something like we were really onto something special!
When we went into the studio a few months ago I was anxious to see if it translated to something special on tape {though the only tape in a studio is scotch tape}
Now that the process is complete I think it does.
I can’t wait for you to hear it; the album is titled "MADE MAN"
I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed making it!
Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noël, Buon Natale, Feliz Navidad, Frohe Weihnachten…
To you, my dear Colleague Billy,
Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noël, Buon Natale, Feliz Navidad, Frohe Weihnachten
Glory to Jesus of Nazareth, a true Son of God.
Happy Holidays to all of you, my spiritual friends
About "my" short Video: "Rejoice, Jesus Christ is born":
About 2007 years ago, the Divine Lord Hâri was sending one
of His dear Sons to Mother Earth, it was Jesus from Nazareth,
the Master of Love & Light.
On Dec. 24 about midnight the
World rejoices in celebrating his Divine Birth.

Though you might like to see me in my old band 404. I have changed a bit since then.
I have just added "Age Of Innocence" to my page, it is a song about growth and on how things may look bad one day and your dreams maybe shattered, in time a new dream can be found.
I hope you like it and if you haven't been to my page for a while there a lot of new songs you can hear. My first CD "Time" is at MF and is going through the final admin stages with them so if you like "Age Of Innocence" and want it on CD it will be available.
Just thought I'd drop by and let you know that I have a new song for you to listen to "No More" is the first song to be released on MusicForte from the Time CD. I hope you can find time to listen to it. It is a soft guitar ballad which about the end of a relationship.
Just added "When Death Divides" I wrote this song after losing my Aunty Bet. I loved her very much and she was the closest to me, closer than my own mother. She was a very special person.
Also you might not have heard "I Want You Back"
I hope you like the darker songs so far, from "Where do I Go?" I have featured
"Nothing Goes As Planned" a song about living with poverty and the confusion, the human struggle to survive.
"Man With A Gun" Gave me a lot of positive feedback to which is probably my darkest song yet.
This weeks song is "Always Be The One" which deals with the frustration of keeping your loved one knowing that you do love her."
If you haven't had a chance to listen please do. Next week will feature the last of the songs from "Where Do I Go? as in September I will be featuring songs from the album "Time" which will be available to buy on CD from the middle of next month.
We are buying 2 cars that use no gas... only compressed air...or gas if we want to!
(If the blasted US customs will let us ship our new cars from either France Spain, or India)
Hopefully they can fit my drum kit and studio gear...
Let us know when you have new songs.
