EARLIEST KNOWN VERSION OF 'IMAGES'

from VOID [Digitally Remastered] by The Santairs

/

about

I’ve been told, by many people who know me, that the best song I’ve written is called "Images." This is the first incarnation of that particular song. The lyrics and progression have somewhat changed, but this is the first run through soon after I wrote it. This particular recording dates around 1985. I wrote this song as part of a school project, but opted to go with the first song I wrote instead called, “I’m So Lonely" even though some of the students thought I should have used "Images." I didn’t try to clean up this particular recording, keeping the warts and all that was the first actual demo of it. When one hears the other versions of this song, the progression of this song as it changes and matures will become apparent. This song also was the inspiration of my record label I created in 1988 called “Imagery.”

This is recording #324.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

IMAGES I SEE OF YOU AND ME,
EVERYTHING SO CLEAR; EVERYTHING SINCERE,
AND I LOVE YOU.

IMAGES OF YOU, WHAT CAN I DO?
THE THOUGHTS I HAVE SHARED, I THOUGHT YOU CARED,
STILL I LOVE YOU.

OH MY LOVE. ALL I WANT IS YOU.
NOW YOU’VE GONE, MY IMAGES ARE THROUGH.

IMAGES I HAD WEREN’T SO BAD.
MY IMAGES HAVE DIED AND I CRIED.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
