A World Without You (Demo) by Eric Bay

I wrote this song as part of a 10 Minute Songwriting Challenge - see the videos in the link below...

I recorded the videos above as soon as I got home after watching 'Yesterday', the new Danny Boyle/Richard Curtis movie about a songwriter who is the only person in the world who remembers the Beatles and their music.

There's a scene in the movie where Ed Sheehan challenges Jack, the main character, to write a song in 10 minutes, and I thought that sounded like a fun challenge so I decided to try it.

As you can probably guess by the fact that there are two parts to the video, I technically failed the challenge, but I still like the song I came up with (and writing a song in 20 minutes still isn't bad!).

'A World Without You'

I wouldn't wanna live in a world without you
Don't know what I would say if someone said I had to
I feel your love in everything you do
And there would be no love in a world without you

I try to remember every word you say
They help me get through life, they guide the way
It's my duty to pass on the flame
To make sure everybody knows your name

I wouldn't wanna live in a world without you
Don't know what I would say if someone said I had to
I feel your love in everything you do
And there would be no love in a world without you

Hope you like the song - I invite you to try the 10 Minute Songwriting Challenge yourself (I'm always fascinated to see how other songwriters work, so please share the results with me if you do!)

Peace & love
Beatles forever
