Tim & The Glory Boys: Me Without You

By Kerry Doole

Tim & The Glory Boys – Me Without You (Sony Music): The Tim in this country band is BC-based singer/songwriter/frontman lead singer Tim Neufeld, a seasoned artist who has won multiple Juno, Dove, and Covenant awards, some as lead singer of contemporary Christian band Starfield. His debut solo album, Trees, won the 2014 Juno Award for Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year.


Together since 2013, Tim and his four Glory Boys comrades have won fans with its bluegrass-inflected country sound and spirited performance style. New single and video Me Without You describes a deeply committed loving relationship (sample lyric: "I’m the shadows you’re the stars I’d be lost out in the dark ... Cause there’s no me without you").  In a press release, Neufeld states “It's definitely a metaphor song – that idea of ‘hey, we're not just in love, you have my heart and my whole life and nothing feels real unless you know about it and you're involved in it, and I'm kinda nothing without you.’”

The accompanying video, directed by David Redman and shot in Hamilton and Winnipeg, furthers the narrative of a young couple’s emotional roller-coaster journey of love. 

The mid-tempo tune features strong vocal harmonies and a swelling strings-laced production sound that makes this distinctly radio-friendly.

Tim & The Glory Boys have just announced a Home Town Hoedown Tour set to hit over 40 cities and towns in North America this fall. More info here.

Of note: The band is managed by Brad Rempel, an artist and songwriter in his own right and half of the popular Nashville-based duo, High Valley.

Savan Kotecha on Co-Writing Justin Bieber’s ‘Beauty and a Beat’ & What Its Post-Coachella Comeback Means: ‘My Kids Think It’s a New Song’

"I remember sending it to Max Martin, going, 'look at this!'" the hit songwriter-producer recalls of the 2012 pop hit currently topping Billboard's global charts.

“I didn’t even meet him during ‘Beauty and a Beat,” recalls hit songwriter-producer Savan Kotecha, who co-wrote the Justin Bieber pop hit alongside Max Martin, Zedd and Nicki Minaj. “I was in Sweden when [Justin] was in L.A. recording it. But he’s super sweet — obviously a gifted, generational talent.”

Over the course of his over 20-year-long career, Justin Bieber is far from the only superstar Kotecha has written for. His credits include songs for Britney Spears, One Direction, Lizzo and Katy Perry. And after some time away to focus on his family (“I was so deep in it and I felt like I was missing my kids’ childhood… If I was in the middle of writing a song, I would be tweaking until two in the morning,” he says), he returned to churning out hits. He co-wrote 2025 hits for Ed Sheeran (“Azizam”) and Tate McRae (“It’s OK I’m OK”) among others.
