Carolyn Arends - Without Music (feat Amy Grant) [Official Music Video]

[@pauldyck1714]

We love you Carolyn! God's messages through you! Encouragement, love, reasons for living, so much more.

[@CarolynArends]

Thanks so much, Paul!

[@marcinlewandowski9334]

"Without music life would not be fair...God knows there's injustice everywhere but the music will not go anywhere" Brilliant and I agree

[@CarolynArends]

Thx, Marcin! 🎶❤️

[@MilesOvern]

Typical Carolyn Arends. Write some great lyrics and a gorgeous melody, surround it with lush chords and deliver it all as if it’s no big deal, and slip in vocals by THE Amy Grant just for good measure. Your songs, your heart and soul, continue to bless so many. Thank you once again for sharing your gifting, and congratulations on an awesome new creation.

[@CarolynArends]

Well shucks - thanks!

[@TonyChungLive]

Carolyn and Amy! Your smiles while singing “…but the music will not go away” exemplifies the power music has to bring hope into trying circumstances. Thank you for this offering. I’m so glad that God hears our broken hallelujahs and gives us the strength to carry on!

[@CarolynArends]

❤️❤️

[@carolyndukeanderson8880]

I had the same feeling.

[@caromannn]

If everyone could smile like Carolyn Arends, there would be no wars. :)

[@CarolynArends]

😊❤️

[@marciacsr]

Who would think two singers could achieve so much synchronicity across the miles. Your voices blend and complement each other perfectly.

[@CarolynArends]

Thank you! It is pretty amazing what can be done across the miles. ❤️

[@channelnoraa]

I genuinely am puzzled how you get the words for your songs. Each lyric is a full song in itself. You are really gifted. I bless God for your life.

[@CarolynArends]

Thank you, Aaron!

[@clarenceli6969]

Bravo! Two of my favourite voices create great chemistry in this simple soothing tune that breathes honesty and hope. Thank you, Carolyn and Amy!

[@robertyoshimaru9410]

These two women have certainly paid their dues. Love this. It's a song that the world needs to hear these days, in my opinion...Just when you think pop music has seen it's demise...haha. Loved the lines from the Cohen and Cockburn songs. There may have been others but .. Anyway, well done!

[@CarolynArends]

Thanks, Robert - and great catches on the Cohen and Cockburn!

[@BrianDoerksenMusic]

So amazing on so many levels! Carolyn, I'm so grateful for your ongoing creative expressions of what it means to be a trusting human. And Luke did a pretty good job with the video too! (That's meant as understated humour - I'm a proud father-in-law!) And Amy's voice too - just timeless!

[@CarolynArends]

Thanks a ton, Brian! Means much from you.

[@TheArcticMusic]

Aw shucks! Thanks Dad :)

[@normawheeler7592]

Thank you Carolyn and Amy. Two of my favourite singers. I needed this song today. Yes I am one of those who sings even when, or especially when, the world is broken. You are right the world doesn’t seem so broken anymore. God bless.

[@CarolynArends]

Sorry for the rough day, Norma - glad the song helps! xo.

[@carolyndukeanderson8880]

I suppose this is what David did with his Psalms....probably helped him feel a bit less melancholy after a round with Saul! 🙂💟

[@liezlbiocovillagracia7923]

I love this song so much!!! Thank you for this song! So inspiring! God bless your heart, my two favorite singers!

[@CarolynArends]

Thanks so much!

[@matthewrabjohns1178]

With all my favourite artists I always wonder oh how do they get any better than theyve been before.....but then the next album comes and I am floored all over again. This is a wonderful duet. Lovely song, lovely words and wonderful melody. Everything about this song is beautiful. Thank you Carolyn and Amy for sharing this sweet nectar with us, this bee is very happy indeed.

[@CarolynArends]

Thanks Matthew!

[@ccchhhrrriiisss100]

Good stuff! What an amazing song! It's a great reminder that everyone has a psalm, melody and spiritual song in their heart. Thank you for sharing this.

[@CarolynArends]

Thanks much, Chris. So glad it resonates!

[@andrewmitchell9713]

In my twenties i heard seize the day and bought the album. A great companion on life's journey. Wanted to share with a friend and just discovered your new song. Wonderful. Thank you! Will share this one too😊

[@CarolynArends]

Thanks, Andrew!

[@ralfeteo791]

Simply amazing! Thank you for creating good music in sadly times... God bless you Carolyn and Amy🙏

[@CarolynArends]

Thank you for listening, Ralfe!

[@olinjenkins1545]

So happy that the video with you and Amy came to fruition-wonderful!! This song is so very universal and needed right now. A year ago during the worst of the pandemic in Italy, people were singing from their balconies. This past week via news reports from the streets of Kabul, I listened carefully to hear sparse yet present music! Even the most tone-deaf person has a song in his or her heart put there by God to give thanks and show that hopefulness. Thanks, Carolyn, Amy and all who put this one together!

[@CarolynArends]

It's striking where music pops up, isn't it?? Thanks, Olin.

[@mymuddyhands]

So beautiful and so appropriate and meaningful for these days! Thank you!!

[@CarolynArends]

Thanks, Debbie!

[@ginnyjaques]

[@CarolynArends]

Thank YOU!

[@craigpowers4791]

Speechless, kind of !, unbelievable song , and video! I think that it wouldn't be fair to have music anymore would mean that it would diminish God's presence ln

[@craigpowers4791]

..oops, presence in our lives, because scripture says God inhabits the praise of his people. And to many, I'm sure, music is praise, so without music , we would be missing God's presence THANK YOU , for such a great song, and video !!!

[@CarolynArends]

Thank YOU, Craig!!

[@stephencuriel3602]

Rumour of glory - I see what you did there - an allusion to another great Canadian singer songwriter, Bruce Cockburn.

[@CarolynArends]

Nice catch, Morgan! :) There's actually another shout-out to another Canadian songwriter in that part of the song as well ...

[@estheroftheshire]

Carolyn, your music is speaking a message that needs to be heard and listened to everywhere. And Amy Grant, what an iconic voice!! I love all of this. And of course Luke, what an amazing job on the filming. No wonder you are a Leo award winner :)

Thank you, Esther! And yeah, Luke crushed it! ❤️

Thanks so much, Patricia!

[@happypappy]

Oh my! I just love this! Singing a lot got me through 2020 (and many artists sharing their music from home too!) I’ve kept singing through 2021, including saying goodbye to our 33 year old daughter in February, the end of her 3 year battle with cancer. To Cry For You was such a timely song, and I quoted it in her Celebration Of Life in May!

[@CarolynArends]

I don't even know what to say, Mark (aka Pappy) - love and peace to you. What an honour to be connected through music.

[@smidgentigre]

I’m sorry for the loss of your daughter this past February. I also kept singing To Cry For at my Dad in law’s funeral in May and I’m sure I’ll be singing it at my aunt’s memorial service in September. She passed on our son’s birthday, which is also Valentine’s Day. This song will also be part of my personal playlist that day. Between both fine young women, I have quite a nice playlist arranged for the hour drive over & home from the church. To Cry For You is really a good song for memorial services.

[@rustysruger]

Voices blend well...😎

[@CarolynArends]

Thx! :)

[@barbcoots]

Such a beautiful, simple song! Thank you!! I cannot hear this without me wanting to add my third harmony part...
