FAITH (IS HER NAME)

from EMOTIONAL INCEST (2024 Remaster) by The Santairs

about

This song was recorded at my home with Audacity, a free, open source software for recording and editing sounds on my 160GB, 3.2 GHZ Pentium IV HP computer made back in 2004. I upgraded the memory to 2GB. Only 512 MB of memory originally came with the computer. This song was performed on basic equipment, from a first act guitar (played through a Crate 120 Watt solid state amp), a small Peavey 50 watt bass amp, a Cameo bass guitar, a first act drum set, and a $10 computer microphone, all while capturing the sounds as I performed them live without a real time compressor or mixer, making it quite the challenge to balance the entire sound.
This song was written 23 years ago about a girl I once dated. I never had a good recording of this song, so I finally decided to at least make a good demo of it. It consists basically of 2 rhythm guitar parts, 2 lead guitar parts, bass guitar, lead vocal, several backing vocals, tambourine (which is actually a first act model--made of junk plastic of all things) and drums. This was my first attempt to record a real song using the most basic of methods. I always held the philosophy that rock and roll music should be a bit gritty and raw, much like this recording. Buddy Holly and The Beatles inspired this tune. My father wrote the bass part to the verses and I wrote the rest. This is the 220th song I wrote.

Recorded at MINE Music Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

I Know I Love You, Yes I Really Love You.
Oh How I Want You, Yes I Really Want You.

I Met A Lady, Such A Lovely Lady,
Who Knows How To Love Me, Really Loves Me Truly.
Faith Is Her Name, Such A Lovely Name,
And I Love Her, Yes I Really Love Her.

Oh How I Need You, Yes I Really Need You.
You Know I Love You, Uh-Oh How I Love You.
Will You Be With Me And Love Me True?
Without You My Dear, What Will I Do?
(Solo)
Faith, Don’t Leave Me, Please Don’t Ever Leave Me.
Faith, I Love You. I Know That I Love You.

God Bless Our Love, It’s You I’m Thinking Of.
Faith, Believe Me, You’re The One I Need.
What Words Can I Say To Be With You?
I’ll Do Anything To Make Love With You.

Faith, Don’t Deceive Me, Don’t You Ever Leave Me.
Faith, Be Mine! Will You Please Be Mine?

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
