Vocal and guitar tracks by Teruko.
Music from "Samba Pa Ti" by Santana.
Lyrics by Teruko.
This song is for my father and step-mother, Marianne. They were married for thirty-eight years and in August 2008, Marianne died of cancer. My father more or less stopped eating. There were other health issues but the truth is he didn't want to live without her.
Thirty-two days after Marianne passed away, my father joined her.
When I finally picked up the guitar again, I started to play "Samba Pa Ti". It is an instrumental but words came to me and I set them to Santana's beautiful melody. I hope he doesn't mind.
Without Your Love
I don't know how I can live
without your love.
I have nothing left to give
without your love.
There's an emptiness inside.
All these years you've been my guide.
Now I'm lost and I
can't find my way
without your love.
Can't even make it through the day
without your love.
Everything I see
is a living memory
of how it used to be,
and there's no peace
without your love.
Nothing in this world's complete
without your love.
I can feel you calling.
Can't stop myself from falling.
Close my eyes, that's all
I need to do,
and I'll be with you.
And I'll be with you.
This is just awesome ! Very beautiful production and all. 5 stars --:)Rod

OK, this is really beautiful, but your vocal needs to be higher I think, I'm finding it very hard to make out your words? great composition . . the guitar is so soft and yet evident . . . 5 stars . . . god job

I am truly sorry to hear of the circumstances that surround your revision of this tune. I honestly think Santana would approve.
The lyrics are touching...sometimes music is the way to make the best of a bad situation. Thanks for sharing this with us.
