Wonderland
I can never get enough of Angie Aparo's music. He puts so much of his heart and soul, his blood and tears into it, and it shows. Every single time I listen to "Wonderland" I can't help but cry. It's a song he wrote for his daughter, and everytime he plays it at a concert (he always closes with it) he says, "This is for my daughter."
Angie is as much a poet as he is a musician. All of his songs have meaning to them, none of them are repetative crap written for the radio. In "Wonderland" he talks about the sacrifices a father makes for his daughter, "I stand in the night with a silver sword / Killing her demons beating 'em off her door / Sleep baby don't you cry / Daddy's got a worn-out lullaby / And I live forever dark and damned / To see you spend one minute, girl / In Wonderland"
Wonderland - Angie Aparo
Take a piece of the sky
Make it rain cherry wine
Give her love give her life
Give her mine
She's a child young and willing
In a world that's unforgiving
That in time takes all the living
From your soul
I stand in the night with a silver sword
Killing her demons beating em off her door
Sleep baby don't you cry
Daddy's got a worn-out lullaby
And I live forever dark and damned
To see you spend one minute, girl
In Wonderland
She can run free forever
Still our blood runs us together
I'll be there if she runs home
For worse or better
I know you like Adam knew Eve
Every tear you cry is a tear that I will bleed
Sleep baby don't you cry
Daddy's got a worn-out lullaby
And I live forever dark and damned
To see you spend one minute, baby
In Wonderland
