A moving reflection on love, loss, and the quiet strength of letting go.
The Song Tailors’ new single “Without You” featuring Liam Isaac is a testament to the kind of songwriting that never goes out of style — sincere, poetic, and grounded in emotional truth. Written by Ruth Picker, this heartfelt ballad explores what it means to love deeply and to find peace in the spaces that love leaves behind.
From its very first notes, “Without You” radiates warmth and vulnerability. The piano-led arrangement sets a graceful, introspective tone, while Liam Isaac’s expressive vocals bring the story to life with effortless depth. His performance walks that fine line between heartbreak and hope, making the song feel deeply personal yet universally resonant.
Ruth Picker’s lyricism is simple and elegant, painting vivid emotional landscapes without ever overstating them. There’s a quiet strength in the way the song acknowledges loss but refuses to surrender to it. Instead, it lingers in gratitude — for love’s endurance, its lessons, and its echo that never fully fades.
Production-wise, “Without You” is a masterclass in restraint. The instrumentation remains uncluttered, allowing every emotional nuance to shine through. The piano, gentle percussion, and atmospheric layers work together to support the vocal performance, never overwhelming it. The result is timeless — a modern classic built on honesty and heart.
