Here's something that sounds a bit (a lot) more upbeat from what I've been posting lately. Even when you're feeling down...I find especially when you're down...it's easier to write positive songs. There's no one in mind for this one except for a picture of someone in my future. With her comes hope and faith and the belief that there is still someone out there for me.
I've given a nod to Bob Dylan here (buckets of rain), and I was hoping for a kind of JJ Cale sound...but it ended up a bit more upbeat than that. In the end, it's me. It's part of who I am and what I do. I'm still the never ending optimist...I believe that you are out there. Waiting for me. Somewhere...Have we met? Or is this going to come from a place where I least expect it?
I have faith in you. Whoever you are, and wherever you might be...this song will be for you...

HOW COULD I EVER LOVE ANYBODY ELSE
words and music by DINO ROMANELLI
Took my whiskey
Poured it down the drain
Left me so lonely
I cried a couple buckets of rain
But now I've got you, girl
To see me through all of my pain
Now that I've found you
My life will never be the same
You came and saved me from myself
How could I ever love anybody else
Spent my whole life
Running from the past
Did my best
But I could never run that fast
But now I've got you
And I can see my future is cast
You've handed me the key
And now I'm free at last
You came and saved me from myself
How could I ever love anybody else
Oh, girl, I'm taking you in my heart tonight
Oh, girl, I'm taking you in my heart tonight
Oh, girl, I'm taking you in my heart tonight
You saved me from myself
How could I ever love anybody else
Once upon a time
You know I didn't give a damn for me
Nothing really mattered
Said what will be will be
But now I've got you
And you have set me free
My eyes are wide open
And now I can see
You came and saved me from myself
How could I ever love anybody else
You came and saved me from myself
How could I ever love anybody else
