WITHOUT MUSIC
Carolyn Arends
This was meant to be a melancholic song
A litany of all that’s gone wrong
But the melody took over, and it started to soar
Till it wasn’t melancholic anymore
I was going to write a cynical verse
‘Cause the bad just seems to keep getting worse
But the notes found their own rhythm, and they started to dance
Till my cynicism didn’t stand a chance
“Without music life would not be fair”
I heard someone say
Well God knows there’s injustice everywhere
But the music will not go away
Instrumental verse
Chorus
So I guess this is my song for all the ones
Who keep singing as the world comes undone
Like a broken hallelujah, their melodies soar
Till the world’s not quite so broken anymore
Yeah like a rumour of glory, our melodies soar
And the world’s not quite as hopeless anymore

"Without music life would not be fair...God knows there's injustice everywhere but the music will not go anywhere" Brilliant and I agree
Thx, Marcin! 🎶❤️
If everyone could smile like Carolyn Arends, there would be no wars. :)
😊❤️
These two women have certainly paid their dues. Love this. It's a song that the world needs to hear these days, in my opinion...Just when you think pop music has seen it's demise...haha. Loved the lines from the Cohen and Cockburn songs. There may have been others but ..
Anyway, well done!
Thanks, Robert - and great catches on the Cohen and Cockburn!
With all my favourite artists I always wonder oh how do they get any better than theyve been before.....but then the next album comes and I am floored all over again. This is a wonderful duet. Lovely song, lovely words and wonderful melody. Everything about this song is beautiful. Thank you Carolyn and Amy for sharing this sweet nectar with us, this bee is very happy indeed.
Thanks Matthew!
@@CarolynArends Thank you too Carolyn!
Give the accordion player a raise.
Ha! Yes, he deserves one! 🪗
Typical Carolyn Arends. Write some great lyrics and a gorgeous melody, surround it with lush chords and deliver it all as if it’s no big deal, and slip in vocals by THE Amy Grant just for good measure. Your songs, your heart and soul, continue to bless so many. Thank you once again for sharing your gifting, and congratulations on an awesome new creation.
Well shucks - thanks!
Rumour of glory - I see what you did there - an allusion to another great Canadian singer songwriter, Bruce Cockburn.
Nice catch, Morgan! :) There's actually another shout-out to another Canadian songwriter in that part of the song as well ...
So amazing on so many levels! Carolyn, I'm so grateful for your ongoing creative expressions of what it means to be a trusting human. And Luke did a pretty good job with the video too! (That's meant as understated humour - I'm a proud father-in-law!) And Amy's voice too - just timeless!
Thanks a ton, Brian! Means much from you.
Aw shucks! Thanks Dad :)
A happy place! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
For those of us who enjoy music,this is lovely!
❤️🎶
Beautiful … can’t stop listening and sharing. Your melodies and lyrics have not diminished with age … they have grown with you. Congrats on a yet another beautiful work of art!
Thanks so much, David!
WOW! Beautiful song, message, melody, harmony, production, video. And AG too ! wonderful
Thanks, Rob! 😃
I genuinely am puzzled how you get the words for your songs. Each lyric is a full song in itself. You are really gifted. I bless God for your life.
Thank you, Aaron!
Carolyn and Amy! Your smiles while singing “…but the music will not go away” exemplifies the power music has to bring hope into trying circumstances. Thank you for this offering. I’m so glad that God hears our broken hallelujahs and gives us the strength to carry on!
❤️❤️
I had the same feeling.
So beautiful and so appropriate and meaningful for these days! Thank you!!
Thanks, Debbie!
Very nice music, I can feel it.
I'm so glad! Thanks, MaryB!
Fantastic!
Wow! Love this! Love Amy's contribution to it, too!
Thanks, Morgan! (And yeah, Amy is pretty great!)
In my twenties i heard seize the day and bought the album. A great companion on life's journey. Wanted to share with a friend and just discovered your new song. Wonderful. Thank you! Will share this one too😊
Thanks, Andrew!
Who would think two singers could achieve so much synchronicity across the miles. Your voices blend and complement each other perfectly.
Thank you! It is pretty amazing what can be done across the miles. ❤️
The words are so hopeful and uplifting. Great song! Thank you.
Thanks for listening, Sally!
How did I miss this?! The song I needed to hear today.
Thank you
So happy that the video with you and Amy came to fruition-wonderful!! This song is so very universal and needed right now. A year ago during the worst of the pandemic in Italy, people were singing from their balconies. This past week via news reports from the streets of Kabul, I listened carefully to hear sparse yet present music! Even the most tone-deaf person has a song in his or her heart put there by God to give thanks and show that hopefulness. Thanks, Carolyn, Amy and all who put this one together!
It's striking where music pops up, isn't it?? Thanks, Olin.
Oh My !! My new personal Anthem maybe even a new ringtone for my phone
Glad you like it, Cord!
Good stuff! What an amazing song! It's a great reminder that everyone has a psalm, melody and spiritual song in their heart. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks much, Chris. So glad it resonates!
Absolutely beautiful! So happy this collaboration happened and that we were able to be a part of it! Thanks Carolyn and thanks Amy for joining her for this song!
Thanks for helping to make it happen, Darin! ❤️
Bravo! Two of my favourite voices create great chemistry in this simple soothing tune that breathes honesty and hope. Thank you, Carolyn and Amy!
❤️🎶❤️
So very beautiful.
Thanks, Holly!
Thank you Carolyn and Amy. Two of my favourite singers. I needed this song today. Yes I am one of those who sings even when, or especially when, the world is broken. You are right the world doesn’t seem so broken anymore. God bless.
Sorry for the rough day, Norma - glad the song helps! xo.
I suppose this is what David did with his Psalms....probably helped him feel a bit less melancholy after a round with Saul! 🙂💟
Speechless, kind of !, unbelievable song , and video! I think that it wouldn't be fair to have music anymore would mean that it would diminish God's presence ln
..oops, presence in our lives, because scripture says God inhabits the praise of his people. And to many, I'm sure, music is praise, so without music , we would be missing God's presence
THANK YOU , for such a great song, and video !!!
Thank YOU, Craig!!
Such a beautiful, simple song! Thank you!! I cannot hear this without me wanting to add my third harmony part...
Thanks! I like imagining you singing along!
Voices blend well...😎
Thx! :)
Brasil I Love tou JESUS e in USA.🙌🙌🇺🇲🇧🇷💜🌷

Carolyn, your music is speaking a message that needs to be heard and listened to everywhere. And Amy Grant, what an iconic voice!! I love all of this. And of course Luke, what an amazing job on the filming. No wonder you are a Leo award winner :)
Thank you, Esther! And yeah, Luke crushed it! ❤️
Yes.

Thank you for listening, Ralfe!
OK, was that SUPPOSED to make me cry? Not fair!

I really enjoyed this! ❤️

Thanks for checking it out, Cathy!
What wonderful song! Great work all around! Just leaves you smiling.
Thank you, Johnny! :) That video director @TheArctic is pretty great, eh?!
WOW !! Another songwriting masterpiece, Carolyn! And the video is so visually beautiful. The whole piece is very moving, in every way. Congratulations !!! xo
Thanks so much, Patricia!
I really love this. I really, really do. xo
Thanks, dear friend. xo.
Oh my! I just love this! Singing a lot got me through 2020 (and many artists sharing their music from home too!) I’ve kept singing through 2021, including saying goodbye to our 33 year old daughter in February, the end of her 3 year battle with cancer. To Cry For You was such a timely song, and I quoted it in her Celebration Of Life in May!
I don't even know what to say, Mark (aka Pappy) - love and peace to you. What an honour to be connected through music.
I’m sorry for the loss of your daughter this past February. I also kept singing To Cry For at my Dad in law’s funeral in May and I’m sure I’ll be singing it at my aunt’s memorial service in September. She passed on our son’s birthday, which is also Valentine’s Day. This song will also be part of my personal playlist that day. Between both fine young women, I have quite a nice playlist arranged for the hour drive over & home from the church. To Cry For You is really a good song for memorial services.
We love you Carolyn! God's messages through you! Encouragement, love, reasons for living, so much more.
Thanks so much, Paul!
The final 'soar' is so so good. While listening to this so is always a joy, seeing it is extra special. Thank you for putting this collaboration together.
:) Thanks, Joshua.
Ok that's just amazing! Your voices are perfect together and the smiles all round just completely make it! Love it!!
Thank you, friend!
Great job, chica! So proud of you. (Oh, and of Amy, too. 😉😘)
Thanks, dear friend.
The world is so broken, thank you for continuing to make music. It’s like a little miracle in the midst. One day we will soar and the world will be whole!
Amen and amen.
So good!
Thx, Colin!
Sorry I missed the live... But beautiful song. Your voices go so well together, and the instruments are perfect and gentle. Well done and thank you!!
Thx Ray. Glad you heard it now!
So beautiful! I love it, Carolyn! Thank you so much for this song, especially right now.
Oh, you're welcome, Steve. So glad it resonates.
Great lyrics!!! I look forward to hearing this song.
"But you are holy,
you who inhabit the praises of Israel."
Psalm 22:3 W.E.B.

:)
Wow, beautiful! I can probably count on one hand how many times a song has given me goosebumps, and this is one of them. Thank you!
Goosebumps! Yay!

The musicianship on this song (and the whole CD) is extraordinary. The vocals here are so sweet and the harmony so special. I've cherished this song so much since getting your CD in mail. A great duet!

Thanks, Janice!

Thanks so much!
Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Excellent song!
Thank you, Matt!
heartfelt and honest. lyrics and music connect. God is magnified. I often find myself drawn to melody and lyrics that remind me of the love of God. Thanks, (and a shout out to Amy G. As well).....
Thank you - and I second that shout out!
Carolyn this is just awesome. Thanks for lifting us out of a melancholic into the joy.
Aw, I'm glad it does that. Thanks, Dara.
Warm-heart goose bumps!
Yay!
So grateful for this beautiful gift to the beautiful, broken world!
Thanks, dear friend!

So wonderful! Authentic hopefulness is in such short supply these days... thank you for conveying it so abundantly, Carolyn.
Thank YOU Joy!
Two of my all-time favorite artists!! This is AWESOME! What great lyrics and what great harmony!
So glad you like it!
My favourite song of the album!
Awesome!
Nice peaceful music. Truly appreciate your music.
Thank you, Jill!
@@CarolynArends Your Welcome. May God 🙏 bless you and keep you safe with Christ.
Beautiful song, thank you both. ❤️
❤️
Love these lyrics!
Thank you, Carla!
🙂. 🙏
😊
I hear a little Rich Mullins "Hold Me, Jesus" influence in there.
Love "Hold Me Jesus" (and Rich), so that checks out!
Is that the same accordion player as on Seize the Day?
Sure is! Good eye/ears!
@@CarolynArends wow, thanks! Same exact sound/style. "Seize the Day" was the first song I ever publicly performed, and I still play it! Just finished rehearsing with bandmates and we played both that and "Reaching." 😃
@@danklebesiii2257 I'm honoured!
@@CarolynArends we're actually performing both songs tomorrow night. Perhaps I'll roll tape on them.
@@CarolynArends my father is a lifelong accordion player, so I've heard a lot of accordion in my days 😃
Where can I find the chords to this song?
I love it so much!
@@dudedarkness Thanks, Christopher! There is a downloadable chord songbook for the entire RECOGNITION album (including "Without Music") here: shopcarolynarends.com/collections/charts-sheet-music-and-songbooks/products/recognition-downloadable-songbook
Thank you so much.
@@dudedarkness You bet!
Beautiful!
Thanks, Jack!
