No Me Without You I wrote the same "liner notes" for "On Their Side" and the so this would probably be the A or B side of the "single" as the same applies to this rock ballad. Bud & Janice kindly agreed to collaborate on a new tune.
I sent Janice Leon's lyrics and a set of chords.
Janice came up with melody and phrasing.Janice - Lead vocal & backing vocals & arrangement (including the lovely melody) Leon - Lyrics Bud - Mixing advice, sound processing & recording engineer Me - Guitars & arrangement The BandRealTracks in style: ~683:Bass, Electric, PopHalfNotesPush Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 888:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment PopBronx Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 1270:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopUpliftSyncMuted Ev16 120 RealTracks in song: 2933:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking SongwriterFolkSlapQuinn Ev 120 RealTracks in song: ~686:Organ, B3, Background Pop Ev 120 RealDrums [in style:NashvilleEven16^5-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride No Me Without YouThere is no spring without the rain Some say there is no gain without a little pain There is no sunshine without the sun If you’d never lost, how would you know that you had won? There is no green without yellow and blue There is no me without you There is no gravity unless the world is spinning When the shooting starts well no one is really winning There is no fire unless something is burning One step is the starting point of every journey There are some offers that you just can’t refuse There is no me without you Some things just naturally go together Some combinations cannot be untethered One and one will always add up to two Never ever be no me without you Won’t hear no music without vibration Every little triumph deserves a celebration Every act of kindness is worth its weight in gold When I’m with you I’m not afraid of growing old There is no tale so tall it could not be true There is no me without you There is no tide without the moon Some stories finish way too soon Some rivers never get to flow down to the sea Some acorns never get to be an old oak tree Life is no fairy tale and wishes don’t come true There is no me without you Some things just naturally go together Some combinations cannot be untethered One and one will always add up to two Never ever be no me without you There is no tide without the moon Some stories finish way, way too soon Some rivers never get to flow down to the sea Some acorns never get to be an old oak tree Life’s no fairy tale but some wishes do come true There is no me without you

Leon, Peter, Janice, Bud...
A strong write. One of your best, Leon. Very commercial.
And a very commercial melody, Janice (one of your best, too, I think).
An excellent BAND. A "radio sound". (one of my favorites from the group - y'all might need to come up with a band name).
And to top it off...might be my favorite Peter guitar work - also has "commercial appeal".
This should be the first single from the album.
Excellent listen.

I really admire Leon's songwriting talent, once again simple but deeply touching lyrics, I'm sold for lines like "Some stories finish way, way too soon" and "Some acorns never get to be an old oak tree". And when the story is put to the light pop-rock mold, my favorite genre, I cannot stop listening... modulation and slow down in the end are extra cherries.
Peter's soloing is heartbreakingly beautiful, perfect match for the song. Janice's melody is excellent and her singing remind me strongly of Chrissie Hynde and songs like Back On The Chain Gang and Don't Get Me Wrong.
The mix is so balanced and polished that I surely can see all my flaws reflecting from it. I very rarely repost anything on SoundCloud, but you have once again made me do it, congratulations!
Janne

Janice's vocals really stand out here, and the lyrics are really well written and thought out. "Won’t hear no music without vibration, Every little triumph deserves a celebration, Every act of kindness is worth its weight in gold, When I’m with you I’m not afraid of growing old" is definitely my favourite part. Overall a really awesome arrangement. Thanks for sharing!

Hello PeterF,
Composition really well built. The vocals are splendid and the lyrics excellent. The very careful arrangement follows a series of pleasant chords. The solo of the guitar very rich in variation. I had a great time listening to your composition. Well done
Kindly regard

Cool. I jumped right in and pushed play when I saw your name, Peter. Then I heard one of my favorite singers. Man, I love the collabs you guys do. Every piece of this masterpiece rings professional. Great job, Peter, Janice & Bud!!!

Whenever you three do a collaboration I know that I am in for some mighty fine ear candy and WOW this is so sweet!
Everything is perfect here. If I didn't know better I would swear this was done in a professional studio, it is that good!
Outstanding work!

And a very commercial melody, Janice (one of your best, too, I think).
An excellent BAND. A "radio sound". (one of my favorites from the group - y'all might need to come up with a band name).
And to top it off...might be my favorite Peter guitar work - also has "commercial appeal".
This should be the first single from the album.
Excellent listen.
fj I agree with all that!!! I love this kind of philosophical and yet fun lyric!! This is just a fun, feel good song that also has depth.....something for everyone, and so well sung and played!! BRAVO!!!!! Take care. Greg

Nicely done! I like how Leon extended the conceit throughout the song. Feel good all the way. Musically, this is so appealing and right in my listening alley, so to speak. Musicianship, singing, production, all top notch.
