As Long as I Have Music (只要我擁有音樂)
是一首膾炙人口且振奮人心的原創曲，傳唱於美國及加拿大各大學與高中，是合唱團朗朗上口的名曲。 只讀歌詞就使人對生命充滿了希望，因生命中有音樂和對於歌唱的熱愛，任何挫折都可藉著歌聲找回人生的希望與道路。
本曲是採ABA型式的F大調，鋼琴前奏平鋪直敘，引出女聲齊唱歌詞陳述人生的困境，接著是男聲與女低音以”嗚”的合聲伴唱，然後進入主題與樂曲的大合唱：〝只要我擁有音樂，只要有首我能唱的歌，就能找到出路，並看到希望，我生命中的音樂會將我的靈魂釋放!〞經過一段過門進入另一段回憶過往的歌詞，音樂隨之改變情緒，直到再次高唱“只要我擁有音樂… 我生命中的音樂將會釋放我的靈魂!使它得自由!!“才在大合奏中結束全曲。
南希Nancy Price(1958~) 和唐．貝吉格Don Besig (1936~)是歌詞的共同作者，唐．貝吉格是南希的音樂老師，他們合作超過四百首的歌曲。

Hi We would love to use this for my Mother's funeral service. Would you be willing to give us permission please? It'll be a small service in the UK of around 30 people (due to the Covid restrictions). Would be very grateful if you would grant permission. Thank you SO very much for your consideration of this request. Mark

@@jcliao2434 Thank you so much for your kind permission to allow me to use your performance at my mother's funeral. She was involved with the local operatic society and they used to sing this beautiful song at concerts so it meant a lot to her. I'm sure she would have loved your wonderful performance of the song. Thanks again and very best wishes to you all for a happy safe and peaceful 2021.
