Tremonti is an Italian surname. Its meaning is "Three Hills". Notable people with this surname include:
Mark Thomas Tremonti (born April 18, 1974) is an American musician and songwriter, best known as the lead guitarist of the American rock bands Creed and Alter Bridge. He is a founding member of both bands, and has also collaborated with many other artists over the years. His debut solo album, All I Was, will be released in July 2012.
Since his early years with Creed, Tremonti has received positive recognition as a guitarist and songwriter and has received a number of accolades, including one Grammy Award for Creed's single "With Arms Wide Open." He was also named "Guitarist of the Year" for three consecutive years by Guitar World, and in 2011 he was listed in Total Guitar magazine as the fourth greatest heavy metal guitarist of all time.
Tremonti was born on April 18, 1974, in Detroit, Michigan. He grew up in a Roman Catholic family in Grosse Pointe, just outside of Detroit, for most of his childhood life before moving to Wilmette, Illinois. Around this time, he began to become enthralled with music, and bought his first guitar at the age of eleven. When he was fifteen, his family moved again to Orlando, Florida, where he enrolled in Lake Highland Preparatory School. During this time, his mother was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, which left Tremonti devastated. After graduation, he moved to Clemson, South Carolina to attend Clemson University to major in finance. After his freshman year in college, he moved back to Florida to enroll in Florida State University, where he was reunited with his then future Creed band mate Scott Stapp, whom Tremonti had known in high school.

So you think you know what light will guide you home?
You were enlightened, now disgraced and now you're gone
So you think you know what time may take away?
How it steals your life, still you forget the pain
You are not alone
You know I'm right
You were safe before
I don't know when I might give in
It's haunting me again
And I feel like just giving up
Today how it wears me thin
I'm weakening again
And I feel like just giving
(Just giving)
Can you see and can you comprehend no more?
You're uninspired by the truth of who you are
You were entitled to the hope you cast away
Now hold that pity in your heart until it breaks
You once had it all
You know I'm right
You were safe before
I don't know when I might give in
It's haunting me again
And I feel like just giving up
Today how it wears me thin
I'm weakening again
And I feel like just giving
(Just giving)
Oh, how will you when it's gone
How will you break your fall?
And oh, and will you wake from this?
How will you make it right?
Oh, it happens like before
Again you've lost your way
(You know I'm right)
I don't know when I might give in
It's haunting me again
And I feel like just giving up
Today how it wears me thin
I'm weakening again
And I feel like just giving up!
