"I Just Can't Live Without You" (Instrumental)

First of all, I would like to wish a happy springtime to all of my fantastic friends here on SoundCloud!  

Without further ado, here is the full instrumental version of a short demo song I made on September 5, 2024. Originally this tune came to me when thinking about the chords and progressions in my earlier song "Peace".

This song was made, played and recorded by me as MIDI and with e.g. the following instruments and sounds: Yamaha Montage 8 (TX816 Electric Piano), Spectrasonics Keyscape (Roland MKS-20 EP sound), Arturia Jup-8 V (Horns), Arturia Synthx V, UVI Ultramini & Arturia Mini-V (Minimoog bass sound), Arturia JUN-6V (the "55 Pop Corn" sound, cf. Juno-6 Synthesizer), Native Instruments Session Guitarist - Electric Mint; and other sounds from the UVI SonicPass VST library including UVI PX Memories (cf. Memorymoog mod), UV-XXX (from the UVI "OB Legacy", horns & the brass sound), UVX-10P (cf. Roland JX-10, the flute sound) and Marcato Strings (from UVI Emulation II). The drums come from Native Instruments Abbey Roads 1980s Drummer, layered with the fantastic Simmons SDS 5 style kick & snare drums from UVI Beatbox Anthology 2.  

Recorded, edited and mixed in Cubase Pro 14, with some significant help from iZotope Neutron. Mastered in Cubase Pro with Ozone 11.


I'm certainly not a lyricist but I got some help with the lyrics! And the idea was that the lyrics would go something like this:


VERSE 

My life is good 
having you by my side
We face the future together
The years roll by
... 
It wouldn’t be the same without you
... 


CHORUS 

I just thought that you should know
I never wanna let you go...
... love you so
I just thought that you should know 
I never wanna let you go
... I just can’t live without you


I Just Can't Live Without You

Always love you

Always Love you

If you have ever felt caught in the eddies of your own….. creation
If thunder has ever echoed through your bones
If you can't make those rapids any louder
Then shout, so I can hear you beneath the foam

I'll lend you a hand

Wanderer

In these rapids wild, my spirit roams,
Where the waters rush, and dreams find homes,

I'm a wanderer

I'm a traveler lost in a swirling tide,
Searching for truth, in waters deep and wide.

I'm a wanderer

Pre Ch
Caught in the eddies of my own….. creation
Thunder echoes through my bones
Can't make those rapids any louder
Shout, cause I can't hear beneath the foam

Ch
I'm a wanderer
This current takes its toll
This water carries me
on this journey all alone

I'm a wanderer
This current takes its toll
This water carries me
on this journey all alone

V2
I reckon with the choices I have made
And let the past slowly fade

Fade

Jam Break
Ahhhhh section

Ch

Courage of Fools

Wanderer

White Water Trail

The lights ignite the roaring crowd 
A thousand voices shout so loud 
The earth it shakes beneath our feet 
This is the place where hearts compete 
Strings on fire they burn the night 
Guitars screaming sparks ignite 
The drums they boom a cannon's roar 
Feel the pulse down to your core

What is your enduring dream? That treasured goal that requires a deep well of resilience and the courage to try something over and over again? The path to reaching an enduring dream is generally not straightforward; instead, it meanders, taking us to unknown and unexpected places while providing countless "life lessons" as we navigate a long, winding road. It's comforting to know that every stumble and each "recalibration" along the way brings us closer to our dreams, strengthening our resolve and making the eventual success more meaningful.

“An Enduring Dream” contains two recurring themes: the first represents the process of pursuing a dream repeatedly, while the second symbolizes the “recalibration” and courage to keep moving forward. The music concludes with a sense of continued movement, further along the path and closer to the dream.

When i'm not playing video games....
...i listen to Music.
I get into everything: Abba to Zappa...Grindcore to Gershwin...Nine Inch Nails to Nina Simone...Mike Oldfield to My Bloody Valentine to Miles Davis
  I LIKE MUSIC....composing and listening   😎
For the record: I am a keyboardist and sometimes drummer. About 90% of  the keyboard work is me actually playing a Yamaha Midi keyboard. Now you know...
