FASCINATION (I WANNA HOLD YOU)

from EMOTIONAL INCEST (2024 Remaster) by The Santairs

/

about

This song was recorded at my home studio 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 Fender Deluxe Stratocaster 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 is the 5th real song I wrote. I was 15 years old at the time. A friend of mine wrote nearly half this song. He also wrote part of the first verse and made up the basic beat. I finished the rest of the words later. I was attempting to write a very basic rock and roll tune. I was, and still am, a fan of CCR and I tried to put a lead similar to that. I wrote this song about the time I heard John Fogerty's "The Old Man down the Road." Even after all these years, I still like the beat. Lyrics are also very basic. You can tell a 15 year old wrote them. It's still fun, even after all these years.

Recorded at MINE Music Studio in Auburn, WA.

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
