Looking for the right one can be hard.  Giving up is easy.  Which do you choose?

COLD WIND BLOWS

Down by the iceberg there’s a million men
They fight to find the girl of their dreams
I walk around like the loser from hell
I’m outta my league - whatever that means
But someday when my fish comes in
There she’ll be waiting underneath my wings
Patience is a virtue son
Except when more than half of your life is done

Cold wind blows on my forehead
Cold wind blows through my soul
Satiate the wait to find the perfect mate
But first I need to tuck and roll
For true believers only

Just give me one more chance
That’s all I need for romance tonight
Just give me one more chance
I got my body tux finally waxed and tight
I dream about finding someone with some clout
Who can take me in and out of this cold
So far it’s been no show you‘d think by now I’d let it go
Excuse me if I seem so emotional

Cold wind blows on my forehead
Cold wind blows through my soul
Satiate the wait to find the perfect mate
Searching through this endless snow

Cold wind blows on your forehead
Cold wind blows through your soul
Keep on trudging down that mountain
Keep on searching high and low
For true believers only
All us fools so desperate for love

John Tabacco is an American composer, singer songwriter, producer, recording engineer, multi instrumentalist and graphic artist. He has engineered /mixed and mastered music for hundreds of New York recording artists as well as projects released on BMG: The Kemelions, RCA: Faze, Rampage/Rhino: Rhett Forrester, Columbia: Rebbie Jackson, Rykodisc : Bob Marley, Columbia: Chris Jasper, Electra: Sonia Dada and Nickleodeon’s Are You Afraid Of The Dark? He is the CEO of It Iz What It Iz Music Publishing which currently holds over 750 songs in its catalog. He has been an associate producer for IndiMusic TV and hosts a bi-weekly radio program (CLAM RADIO) on college radio WUSB.fm since 1999. He is currently the head of A&R at Modern Voices Digital Distribution.

His musical background consists of extensive study of orchestration with noted 20th century composer John Lessard, harmony with the late electronic music maverick Bulent Arel, and composition with Stony Brook University professor Peter Winkler. He received his BA in Music from Stony Brook University in 1983. 

Like an unfolding musical diary / puzzle, Tabacco’s music and art are constantly being re-worked, juxtaposed and intertwined. His style is a melding of pop - jazz -rock - avant garde / aleatory, classical and comedy.  He has been recording his music non stop since 1979.

Of note: In 1989 the satirical, absurd house song "Go House Yourself" co-written by Tabacco, Pati and DiMauro reached position 39 on Billboard's dance chart. 

In 2014 Tabacco signed a record deal with Texas, indie label, Muffin Records. They released his CD “Unfulfilled Shopping Carts Syndrome” internationally.
