about

Five years ago, Spectoral awoke one morning, having dreamt the haunting, heart-breaking chorus and lyrical hook to this song. Affected by it's emotional impact, he immediately sung it into a Voice Memo so he would remember it.

However, it wasn't until late 2016 that "Without You" was fully realised.

The producer decided to enlist the ear of fellow producer Martiln to collaborate on the piece. Martiln's sound design and instrumentation began as a completely unrelated, unfinished project, but when Spectoral heard the instrumentation, it was a breakthrough moment for "Without You".

With his hold on creating the song finally lifted, Spectoral's arrangement and lyrics rushed out like an open floodgate. The two producers have crafted magic that plays to both of their strengths perfectly.

Please consider purchasing this track for whatever you believe the work is worth, to show your support and help fund real dedication and creative art. Share this one with your friends, it's really something special. Add it to your playlists/favourites on Spotify, Apple/iTunes, Tidal, Deezer or Soundcloud.

lyrics

VERSE 1:
I dimmed the lights low
I remember
Soft skin, you excited
Always you were by my side
Favourite drink
Was white wine and emotion
As long as you opened to me
We fulfilled our desires
Now everyday I ask myself

CHORUS 1:
How can I live
Without you?
Should my soul surrender
Fading into time?

VERSE 2:
We moved slow
I'd set apart
From the other girls
Even so, I remember
There'd never be nobody else
I fell into the night trap
You would turn it on
Couldn't keep it on
You'd feel it slow
And even in months that followed
You know you had it all
I never saw you leaving
And now I feel my soul dragged down
And at night I feel my soul dragged down

CHORUS 2:
How can I live
Without you?
How will I stand
The rest of time?
How can I live
Without you?
Should my soul surrender
Fading into time?

VERSE 3:
Favourite drink
Was white wine and emotion
As long as you opened to me
I fulfilled
Your desires as you spoke them
So why were you taken from me?

CHORUS 3:
What should I feel
Without you?
Should my soul surrender
Fading into time?

What should I feel
Without you?
Though my soul remembers,
We're fading into time

What should I feel
Without you?
What should I feel
Without you?

Dave Ruby Howe, Music Director of Triple J Home & Hosed, describes Spectoral as an artist who "can be relied on to deliver highly detailed productions with unshakable earworm qualities at their core". ... more
