Happy Fri-Yay Funday and almost Valentines Day from me and Jay (an amazing poet and writer). This organic song originated out of a silly fun. See our post exchange below.
Lyrics to āCanāt Live with Them but Canāt Live Withoutā
Men and woman
light years apart
canāt live with them
but canāt live without
Reflecting each other
Neither right or wrong
Spring Moon and Stars
near yet so far
Canāt live with them
But canāt live without
Canāt live with them
But canāt live without
Raising each other
To new heights
Made for one another
Space bound lovers
Canāt live with them
But canāt live without
Canāt live with them
But canāt live without
We give ourselves away
As we move through the night
Hiding in the shadow light
Come on letās not fight
Canāt live with them
But canāt live without
Canāt live with them
But canāt live without
No more playing games babe
Donāt run away
From our intertwined fates
We can jam the night away
Canāt live with them
But canāt live without
Canāt live with them
But canāt live without
Through the planet venus and mars
For the ultimate high
We laugh and love
Where we always get by
Canāt live with them
But canāt live without
Canāt live with them
But canāt live without
Whisper sweet nothings
And come dance with me
Stop this crazy igniting
Thereās No time for fighting
Canāt live with them
But canāt live without
Canāt live with them
But canāt live without

How this collaboration came about? (A True Story)
Um, in one word..by accident!
So, this is what happenedā
Rewinding back to a month ago, I posted a poem/song set to the music from āOh Loveā song by Green Day, and Cindy said,
Itās so uplifting and love the stars shinning so bright with the music Jay!!!!!! I think you should sing it and post it!
To that I said,
Well I never thought of that! also I donāt have a very good singing voice. hehe Iām glad you liked it Cindy! Many thanks
Fast forward to exactly a week ago, I posted a rough draft of me singing a poem of mine: āLyrics to Waterfallā and in it I mentioned Lillian, a poet-blogger friend, as one of the inspirations behind me recording it because she suggested earlier that sheād love to see āLyrics to Waterfallā put to song. To that Cindy said,
YAY Jay!!!! I love it!!! I told you it would be awesome for you to sing and it is awesome!!!! Wait how did Lilian get the credit.. lol!!! Good job! Bravo
Then, I said,
Oh Cindy, you encouraged me too! thatās true! when Iāll record āOh Nightā which I plan to do in near future Iāll surely mention youThanks very much!
Then, she said,
Oh Iām teasing you ..lol! No Need seriously⦠!!! Iām just happy you did it!!! ā„ļø
Then, I said,
Ah well, I do often confuse being teased in real life! Never happened during blogging though haha youāre awesome!
And she said,
Well we will have some fun together like we often do:-)ā„ļø
Around that time, I had a little romantic poem up on my blog, Cindy liked it and said
so beautifulā¦.. thatās what makes the world go round. Thereās men and woman sometimes light years apart canāt live with them but canāt live without.. ⦠and there in lies my valentine rhyme ā¦
And so the fun began, I said,
Thank you Cindyācanāt live with them canāt live withoutā reminded me of a song by U2, you probably know which one Iām talking about *wink* And Iām eager to hear your full valentine poem!
Then, she said,
youāre so welcome Jay!!! Oh I probs do.. but canāt think of it right now. Well, I just might have to make one⦠lol. or you could add on and we can go from there..
Then, I said,
Howās this? I am liking it..Thereās men and women Light Years apart Canāt live with them And canāt live without like the Spring Moon and Stars So near yet so far
Then, she said,
reflecting each color neither wrong nor right. your turnā¦
Then, I said,
Made for one another Space bound lovers Raising each other
Then, she said,
OOOH YOUāRE GOOD! to new heights through the planets mars for the ultimate high
Then, I said,
THANKS cindy! Itās you who are leading this piece, youāre amazing too!
Then, she said,
lol.. thanks Jay.. just bee boppin along with you is fun stuff.yeahā¦LOVE THAT U2 SONG!!! thanks for sending! And we give ourselves away yes we give ourselves away We move throught the night hiding in shadows and light Come on baby letās not fight Your turn⦠Oh and then weāll sing it together and youāll play the guitar. How fun is this?!!!
Then, I said,
Ah I canāt play guitar that well, Cindy! Still in the learning phase.. I play only A and D well.. mostly I play leads of the songs I love. Lets not play any more games babe Lets stop running away From our interwined fates Your turn..
Then, she said,
and jam the night away in each others arms no time for fussing and fighting and playing that game
So, that was the story of Cindy and me writing up a Valentine song in the comment section of a post! The process after that was really fun and exciting for me!! Iāll let Cindy continue this tale!
I had a blast with Jay since our post turned song organically transpired which came as a complete surprise for both of us. As writers we all know the deep satisfying experience when we create something out of nothing. This was truly one of my highlights and collaborating with him was so much fun. Thanks Jay for turning an ordinary week into a treasured memory.
Shout Out
A special thanks to my dear friend Rhonda for her help with her lyrical expertise of rhyming (which Jay has by the way) and amazing help with the tune and guitar. I tried to transfer to the Uke but only clashed so we substited with a tambourine and bell. If any of you know what cords we need in Ukelele to work with the song, it would be greatly appreciated.
Rhonda is a brilliant poet, song writer and musician and has won awards for some of her songs.
I will be releasing a hit of hers on Vetran’s Day that she wrote in honor of those that serve our country and her son, our family friend, a Navy Seal. We are sooooo grateful!!! š
NOTE: If anyone wants to pick us up for a hit single that has a great recording studio, we’re available. š¤£
Pua’s Update:
Our prayers and love is working for Pua and the family thanks us! Pua achieved some major milestones today. She started with some occupational therapy, sitting on her bed and following simple commands.
The Occupational Therapist said she is doing more than great at this stage and they’re very optimistic about Puaās future. She’s improving at a fast rate.
Thank you so much for visting and have a great Friday and wonderful Valentine’s Day! If you’re single this song might make you glad you are! Lol! š¤£
Thank you so much Jay for the silly fun! It truly was a highlight of my week to play with you!!!!
Life without love and laughter makes for loooooog days.
