Both Peter Ham and Tommy Evans had written songs for their then girlfriends, and decided to merge the songs together, and came up "Without You"

After they recorded it, they decided it wasn't good enough as a single, so used it as an album filler on "No Dice"

The rest is history (SAD) ...

RIP. "Piggy"

Pete's widow had a really cool, bittersweet story about how the song was created, and her part in inspiring a line of the lyrics.
