Where ever you are, pick up the phone I miss you so
I know your alone, and baby it's christmas, you gotta come home

All this time that you've been gone my tears fall down like rain
There is only one way to mend my heart and take away all of my pain
You've got to find your way, way back home

I can't live without your love, you know you've been gone for way too long
And this old house feels so cold, you know it's been so long since I had your love

I've been dreamin, fire is burnin, with stockings hung high
You should be home with me, cause it's Christmas, gifts under the tree

All this time that you've been gone my tears fall down like rain
There is only one way to mend my heart and take away all of my pain
You've got to find your way, way back home

I can't live without your love, you know you've been gone for way too long
And this old house feels so cold, you know it's been so long since I had your love

You know the kind, the kind that is true, I feel this way, only with you
Snowflakes collecting in your hair, I see in your eyes how much you care
Remembering times, the years in the past, with you and me, the moments they last
There's nothing better than the cheer, my baby around me for the new year

You know it's been so long since I had your love
You know it's been so long since I had your love

Cause It's Christmas (I Can't Live Without Your Love)

Lyrics:
© Alex Arndt & Kay Glynn

Fire's keeping on
Just enough to see it glowin’
Conversation flows                 
Candles drippin' lower
Got a vibe of somethin’ hummin’
From a million years ago  

I feel so good and realize
There's so much

Love beyond the room 
Love beyond this world
Love beyond the room
Love beyond
Love beyond

Ever changin' lines
On the faces of my memories
Deepen as love grows
Voices reconnect
Enchanted with a feeling
From a million years ago

I feel so good and realize
There's so much

Love beyond the room 
Love beyond this world
Love beyond the room
Love beyond
Love beyond
Love beyond this world
Love beyond

Love beyond
Love beyond this world

There's so much
Love beyond the room 
Love beyond this world

Love beyond
Love beyond this world
Love beyond

Love Beyond

Intro
Plastic bags and rubber tires, broken toys and pacifiers, 
Fishing nets, milk jugs and tarps, all starts out in our shopping carts

Verse 1
A swirling vortex brewing in the ocean   
Man, this ain't no love potion
'Cause Mother Earth's drownin' and chokin' on…plastic soup
A half submerged madhouse of crap
Hundreds of miles of toxic trash   
And the hellish mass is getting bigger fast…plastic soup

Pre 1
Because our human race has been so reckless
This plastic stew is now twice the size of Texas

Chorus
Can you believe it?!
She's so mistreated 
Tell me what is up
Our Mother's cryin'
She's quickly dyin'    (As we watch her dyin') 3rd Chorus
We gotta clean it up

Verse 2
What'll fish and seabirds eat today?
Translucent soup of polymer waste
Then the poison makes it's way to your dinner plate…plastic soup
Can being so deceitful be legal?
Still making all our products so lethal              
Guess greed is the number one root of evil

Pre 2
When more is better on a global scale, we get
An ocean landfill that's bobbin' like a Molotov cocktail

Bridge
DDE's and DDT's PCB, what do these mean?
Can this be...the ocean's destiny? 
Lego blocks and barbie dolls, traffic cones and soccer balls
Where's the sanity in all this floating debris? 
Oh Mother Earth, we want to save you, save you from ourselves

Outro
Now what is this floating disastrous trash?
They call it the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch"

Wicked Game (Live)

Los Angeles based band, The Sonic Universe is fronted by international recording and performing artist, Alex Arndt, a Virginia Tech graduate originally from the Washington D.C. area.  Arndt has toured and performed in over a dozen countries worldwide including Ireland, Netherlands, Japan, Peru, and Australia. He was featured at one of the largest electronic music festivals with 150,000+ strong crowd, Ultra Music Festival at the Olympic Stadium in Seoul, Korea with DJ, Amanda Darling. In addition, The Sonic Universe has performed at other festivals such as SXSW (Austin, TX), Summerfest (Milwaukee, WI), NAMM Show (Anaheim, CA), Malibu Music Awards (Malibu, CA), Cosmic Convergence (Panajachel, Guatemala), Synthesis Festival (Chichen Itza pyramid, Mexico) and dozens more. They have shared festival/venue stages with noteworthy artists such as Joe Walsh, Jason Mraz, George Clinton Parliament Funkadelic, SEV, Colbie Caillat, Heatbeat, and Alex M.O.R.P.H.

For the better part of the last decade, The Sonic Universe (which is an international trademark) has been gaining notoriety around the Greater Los Angeles area with performances at premiere venues such as House of Blues Anaheim, The Belasco, The Roxy Theater, and Avalon Hollywood. Arndt’s deep and rich vocals seem to be somewhat nostalgic of the legendary David Bowie with a style that echoes hints of Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler.  The Sonic Universe has been pushing the boundaries of genre by combining elements of Rock, Pop and Electronic Dance Music (EDM) into an electrifying sound that is thrilling audiences. With their new anthemic high-vibe Pock/Rock EP releasing in 2020, The Sonic Universe is poised to extend their reach to new USA and international audiences.

"The Sonic Universe," formerly "Alex Arndt & The Sonic Universe" has always been a strong force for positivity with songs like “Oh Zalika” (on “Sonic Paradigm” album), used for a hungry children project; “Strength Through Peace,” used as USA presidential campaign theme song for peace; “Swallowed in the Pocket,” a song about drug addiction written for the hollywood feature movie “In My Pocket”; “Plastic Soup,” a song in connection with marine environmental organizations concerning the critical plastic problem in our oceans; and an EP called “Animal Compassion” which was performed at global conferences and has had years of international television coverage.
