A sparse production in classic style with three part vocals, rock steady beat and Garrison 12 string with a melodic bass line. Recorded and produced by Jonas at his private studio in the last quarter of 2010. Less is More!
It’s “carpe diem,” driven home by the beat and landed by melodic hooks and Detroit cured lyrics “To love in spite of doubt - To laugh when you’re afraid - To dance when you are tired - To claim what you have made…”

lyrics
The Life That You’re Not Living Maureen Paraventi Copyright 2010 All Rights Reserved
You look but you don’t see. You think but not too much.
You feel it slip away. You miss the human touch.
Although it seems so real. It’s an image on a screen.
A shadow on a wall. A half-remembered dream.
It’s the life that you’re not living, the risks you wouldn’t take.
The roads you did not follow and the love that wouldn’t wait.
There’s still time to leave regret behind, and live and love and lose
There’s still time for you to choose.
To never play it safe. To revel in the pain.
To burn the candle at both ends. To stand out in the rain.
To love in spite of doubt. To laugh when you’re afraid.
To dance when you are tired. To claim what you have made.
It’s the life that you’ll be living. The risks you’re gonna take.
The roads that you will follow and the love that’s not too late.
There’s still time to leave regret behind, and live and love and lose
There’s still time for you to choose.
You know, you need a second chance
When the first one breaks your heart.
And you won’t enjoy the journey if you do not even start.
In a moment, you can leave it all behind.
CHORUS
