Without Your Love
A new song for lovers of all ages. I hope you enjoy it. Comments are always welcome. https://soundcloud.com/jimmy-saad/without-your-love Without You Love Words & Music by James L. Saad c 2013 Verse 1 Without your love I would never survive. Without your love I would never survive. Without your heart (beating in mine) I would always be alone. Without your heart there is no place to call my home. It’s only you who’s always loved me for the sorry soul I am. Without your love I’d be just a lonely man. Verse 2 Without your smile the world is painted gray. Without your smile there is no purpose to each day. It’s just the way you’ve always touched me that made the man that I became. Without your love things would never be the same. Bridge Now together through this life oh we treasure all our dreams fulfilled. And together we belong to each other as we have willed. Verse 3 And with your heart our dreams will always stay alive. And with your heart our spirit will always want to fly. But it’s just the way of this old world when two hearts can break after beating as one; but with your love I will always belong. And with your love I will always belong.

Hi John, Thanks for the kind words. I am glad you liked the song and lyrics. I had a great Christmas and have just met some wonderful jazz and blues players in my area. Looking forward to some live gigging this next year. All the best, Jimmy

Love the sparseness & simplicity of it. You have a great voice and the backing vocals are really good. Great use of the orchestra cymbal aswell bro, Im gonna try use that soon! Would love to hear it with a crisp RnB ballad type beat as opposed to the standard 4/4 drum beat you have there like this for e.g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isJ86DZWwVY, anyway, only a thought.

A very clean and well done recording.You have a good voice. Seemed to me to be just a little slow, but this also made it a little more reflective and serious IMO. I like what verb you used. It sits very well with this song.

That's lovely Jimmy. Is that Rhodes from Dim Pro? Just doing a track with an identical sound. The backing vocals are beautifully mixed, just right. I like the restrained lead guitar too, nice.

I think the lead is a taste hot but overall it seemed to work so I left it alone. Thanks for the listen and nice words.

Nice...really nice. I like the simplicity of this. You have a well written song. There's a lot to like about this. I'd like to make 2 suggestions to you. Remove one word or perhaps one line. Take out the word "sorry" and find a better word to use there. It may even be better to write a new line. Everything else in the song is so uplifting and positive, then that one line puts you down. It's out of the character of the rest of the lyrics. Find a replacement and it will make the song so much better. Second..... while I liked the Rhodes, I'd love to hear this with a nice Acoustic Grand of some make or the other. Just a personal preference there. This is a seriously good song.

Hi Herb, Thank you for taking the time with your comments. I really appreciate it. I liked "the sorry soul I am" to show that I am not worthy of the love even though I can't live without it. I never thought of it until now so I will consider your suggestion seriously. I will try the piano as well. I did like the bell like quality of the keys and thought a piano would be too strong. You really brightened my day with your nice words. Thanks much. Jimmy

Nice one Jimmy. Very touching. I'm confused though. "it’s only you who’s always loved me for the sorry soul I am. " "It’s just the way you’ve always touched me that made the man that I became." hmm. I'll have to ponder that.
