Without You
for when it feels like your whole world just walked out 💔
Who it's for
Written by Badfinger's Pete Ham and Tom Evans, Nilsson's version is a towering ballad about not being able to bear life after someone leaves.

What it is
"Without You" was written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans of Badfinger and first released on Badfinger's 1970 album No Dice, combining Ham's verse from a song called "If It's Love" with Evans' chorus from "I Can't Live." Harry Nilsson recorded it for his 1971 album Nilsson Schmilsson, and his single spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1972.
