Without You is a solved lostwave by power-pop band The Wind-Ups, which was released on the 1995 compilation album Underground Music Series (Vol. 1 Disk 1)
History[edit | edit source]
On August 4th, 2024, the song was first posted on r/lostwave by Reddit user Silly_Detail6127, who claimed that he obtained the song from a CD compilation album that he no longer owns, which he purchased possibly in North Jersey sometime in the late 80s or early 90s.[1]
On August 6th, 2024, the song was identified as Without You by The Wind-Ups after two different owners of the CD Underground Music Series (Vol. 1 Disk 1) were contacted on Discogs and confirmed that it was the same song.[2][3]
The identity of the song was confirmed on August 12th, 2024 after getting in contact with the lead singer Anthony D'Aulerio,[4] who proceeded to post a copy on his YouTube channel.[5]
Lyrics[edit | edit source]
| Presumed Lyrics |
| (Verse 1)
You smile, and it reminds me Of all the magic that you bring And while you're standing there behind me Well I feel like I could do just anything 'Cause I used to think, if only Well I wasn't feeling so unsure Was used to being lonely But I don't feel that way no more. (Chorus) Why don't you open your eyes (Open your eyes) Just 'cause there's no surprise You mean the world to me I just can't see where would I be Without you Where would I be without you Where would I be (Verse 2) You laugh, and all my troubles Go drifting silently away And after all that you've given Well I still can't find the words to say 'Cause I fumble with the night so badly My heart is racing even now And I want to say I love you madly But I think you know it anyhow (Chorus) Why don't you open your eyes (Open your eyes) Just 'cause there's no surprise You mean the world to me I just can't see where would I be Without you Where would I be without you Where would I be (Guitar Solo) Why don't you open your eyes (Open, open your eyes) Just 'cause there's no surprise And now I know it's true I just can't see where would I be Without you (Where would I be) Without you (Where would I be) Your smile, it reminds me |
