Without You

I wrote this in 2011 and originally posted it here 7 or 8 years ago. I did a little shaping in Audacity recently and reposted it on Soundcloud.

I'm aware there are some artifacts in several places - a "creaky" sound, such as at the 0:43 marker. It's indigenous to the track - couldn't make it go away.

I think I "slurred" the very first "without you" a little too much. Also, the vocal pitch is a little flat on the higher notes of the chorus. Like that's a big surprise!

Hope you enjoy it.

Key=Am , Tempo 80, Length (m:s)=2:12

Without You

© 2011 Alan D. David, BMI

V1
Without you, the stars no longer shine
And every night I go right out of my mind
Without you, the sky’s always gray
And it rains in my heart almost every day
Red tears flowing from a heart broke right in two
I can’t live, no I can’t live without you

V2
Without you, I don’t have a thing
The sun doesn’t rise, the birds no longer sing
Without you, my nights are so cold
Arms reaching out, with no one to hold
I cry all day, and I cry all night too
I can’t live, no I can’t live without you

Chorus
You were my destiny, you were the best part of me
You were the life that breathed in me
I just can’t live without you, baby why can’t you see
I just can’t live without you

Two Instrumental Verses

V3
Without you, my soul is so bare
Just pain and sorrow, hurt everywhere
Without you, my heart doesn’t beat
I can’t stand, on my own two feet
None of my dreams will ever come true
How can I live, how can I live without you

Chorus
You were my destiny, you were the best part of me
You were the life that breathed in me
I just can’t live without you, baby why can’t you see
I just can’t live without you

Alan, really nice tune and love your vocal performance! Never struck me before how much you sound like Leon Russell. You cats can really sing! Didn't find the artifacts distracting whatsoever, this sounds great to me. Another worthy re-issue from you archives!

Alan,

This is a great slow bluesy song. I agree with Ron, you do have that Leon Russell vibe here - very nice.

Love the mix and of course that great vocal!

Alan,

First off, that vocal works really really well. Perfect gravelly blues tone to capture mood and atmosphere of the song. The rest of the song is stellar—love the harmonica sitting under that bridge and in the solo. Great mixand production choices. Outstanding!

Alan...a very classic sounding blues trip...all of the "Without you's" are the same line and melody...why not just cut and paste the best one to cover the one you don't like? (unless of coarse you recorded on tape...do people still do that?)... you sounded right at home in this genre and it was a great performance...very cool!

Hi Alan,

This is my kinda music!

I think the vocals are very well done and suit the song perfectly. Reaching for those higher notes - no problem at all.

Also like the harp and guitar breaks.

Only suggestions:
1. Maybe take a little off the bottom end of the vocals - they are a touch boomy.
2. Harp and particularly the guitar solos could be a little louder and less reverb to match the vocals.

Top song - really enjoyable,

Merry Christmas

A really relaxing, moody blues song. I hope you don't mind me saying, but your vocal reminded me of Bob Dylan (not everyone is a fan).
The band sounds great and I particular liked the blues harp. Nicely done Al.

Hi Ron,

Leon Russell, huh? Well, that's a first. But I'm good with it! Did you know he once put out an album under the name Hank Wilson? I'm most delighted you enjoyed the song. I was happy with the way it turned out, for the most part. It was one 0f those songs that just showed up and said, "Here I am. Go for it!". So I did.

Thanks a bunch, Ron, for all those nice things you said.

Merry Christmas

Hello Vic,

Hi Bob,

Well, vote #2 for Leon Russell. Hmmm ... maybe I should do that all the time!

You are always very kind to my music. I appreciate that very much. Glad you liked this one!

Wishing you & yours a wonderful Christmas.

HI Deej,

Thanks for dropping in for a listen.

As I mentioned to Bob, maybe I should do all my vocals like this ... it just takes a little effort. i wish you folks could hear my vocals before I had a serious accident that messed up my vocal cords. I had a baritone voice then.

And yeah, that harmonica and lead guitar were great finds.

Thanks again for your very nice comments. I seriously appreciate them.

Hoping you and yours have a terrific Christmas.

Alan & Di

For some unknown reason, I didn't expect your voice to sound like it sounds, but I like it.
Fits this genre perfectly.
And don't worry too much about the little imperfections you mentioned... Blues was never meant to sound clean.
It's all about the mood!

Great write and presentation, Alan. "Like that's a big surprise!" Love these Blues and you do them so well. That harmonica was behind the vocal and just dying to get at the mic, and sounded great when he did. Then that guitar solo --wow. Brent?

<scroll up>

Yep.

Superb, but you knew I'd love this one. Like that's a big surprise!


Enjoy whatever happens!

Nice, Alan.
Enjoyed it (in spite of your announced warts smile )

A nice Blue write.
The guitar solo is especially nice.

I don't hear the "heavy bottom" that Nigel alludes to. On my system, I'd say the vocal highs could be tamed a bit.
Goes to show you've got to take all of these comments with a grain of salt.
