A couple of weeks ago, Bethany Petch and I got together to record for my YouTube Channel. One of the songs we did was “In My City”, an original she had written a while ago. The other song was “If It Hadn’t Been For Love”. I first heard this song from Adele and was later pleasantly surprised to hear Chris Stapleton (Steeldrivers) play it in a live recording. (Check out my guitar lesson for this song)

How it all started

Bethany Petch is an amazing singer (and songwriter) and during her showcase at Selkirk College she sang an Adele cover. I was blown away by her voice and intensity. I had for a long time been playing Adele’s version of “If it hadn’t been for love”, which was originally played by the Steeldrivers (Christ Stapleton,) from her album “21”. So right after the show I asked her if she’d be into recording a version of our own. Almost a year later we got together and sat down to record it.

If you like her voice then check out our other video ( https://youtu.be/EDvzaOMe5yk ) we recorded and make sure to subscribe to her channel as well (link below).

Enjoy and don’t forget to subscribe and share!

If It Hadn’t Been For Love Lyrics:

Never woulda hitch hiked to Birmingham
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda caught the train to Louisian’
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda run through the blinding rain
Without one dollar to my name
If it hadn’t been
If it hadn’t been for love

Never woulda seen the trouble that I’m in
If it hadn’t been for love
Woulda been gone like a wayward wind
If it hadn’t been for love
Nobody knows it better than me
I wouldn’t be wishing I was free
If it hadn’t been
If it hadn’t been for love

Four cold walls against my will
At least I know she’s lying still
Four cold walls without parole
Lord have mercy on my soul

Never woulda gone to that side of town
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda took a mind to track her down
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda loaded up a 44
Put myself behind a jailhouse door
If it hadn’t been
If it hadn’t been for love

Four cold walls against my will
At least I know she’s lying still
Four cold walls without parole
Lord have mercy on my soul

Never woulda hitch hiked to Birmingham
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda caught the train to Louisian’
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda loaded up a forty four
Put myself behind a jailhouse door
If it hadn’t been
If it hadn’t been for love
If it hadn’t been
If it hadn’t been for love
If it hadn’t been
If it hadn’t been for love
