Story Behind The Song
I'd begun to feel like I'd dried up musically. As if there were no more notes or lyrics left inside of me. A dear friend changed that with enthusiasm and encouragement and I realized that if even just one person like my song, the song was worth writing.

I continue to write and play music because I know someone is listening. It's for you that I continue and strive to improve.

Lyrics
If It Weren't for You
by Buster Fayte
Ain't nothin' new in what I'm sayin'
No innovation in the chords I'm playin'
My melodies are forgettable
My rhymin' schemes so predictable
This song may as well be empty if it weren't for you
Ain't no excitement in the path I'm walkin'
No revelation in the words I'm talkin'
My dull routine is so mundane
I live today just like yesterday
My world may as well be empty if it weren't for you
Empty words, empty tunes
Each empty note I sing goes out to you
There it's freshened up and made true
Each tired thought of mine comes back renewed
Ain't no big deal to hear me singin'
My voice won't no awards be bringin'
The charts will never even know my name
If I quit or write again it's all the same
My music would fall silent if it weren't for you
