"Without The Music" song lyrics by John Kaniecki

It isn’t every day that I can announce that I just published a book that took over thirty years to write. But that’s what I’ve just done. “Without The Music” is the best of my song lyrics that I have written in my entire life. It includes my first attempt and the last one I wrote before I compiled the book.

What can I say about these five hundred or so lyrics? There is rock, country, gospel, pop, Christian, folk and even one rap song. I have poured my soul into this work. I have chronicled life events, friendships, broken hearts, and my twisted views of life into this collection of song lyrics.


This book is a living testimony, a proud statement of what I am. Whether you are a poetry fan or a musician/composer looking for some material to work with, this book is essential.

Song of My Heart

I’m searching for the right words to say
To make it all okay
Could you lend me your ear in the cool autumn breeze?
It would put my mind at ease

I can’t remember the words that I wrote
So take what you value and leave what you don’t
Let the music do its part
Then you’ll understand the song of my heart

Spent the night haunted by confused memories
Churned by a twisted history
Different players in an identical game 
But the song remains the same

I can’t remember the words that I wrote
So take what you value and leave what you don’t
Let the music do its part
Then you’ll understand the song of my heart

In a deep dark valley with a cool running stream
I see a princess in a dream
I’m feeling the rapture I’m sensing the bliss
I will be free with your passionate kiss

I can’t remember the words that I wrote
So take what you value and leave what you don’t
Let the music do its part
Then you’ll understand the song of my heart

My thoughts turn to the memories of the days that we spent
Living off of the love that we lent
If you take the love I give I’m sure you will see
The truth is you’re just like me (X3)

I can’t remember the words that I wrote
So take what you value and leave what you don’t
Let the music do its part
Then you’ll understand the song of my heart

You know you’re just like me
You’re just like me
Girl you’re just like me
