This 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 first act guitar for leads, a Fender Deluxe Stratocaster for rhythm (usually 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 1st real song I ever wrote back in 1985, just 3 months after learning how to play the guitar. It was inspired by Dorsey Burnette's "HEY LITTLE ONE" and The Nitty Gritty Dirt band's version of "MR. BOJANGLES." The bridge is actually a true story of how I felt about a certain girl I knew. And I think the entire song was how I felt back then. The words were as simple as can be and I wanted my first song to be just that, simple.

Recorded at MINE Music Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

I’m So Lonely. I’m So Lonely,
And I Can’t Get You.
I’m So Lonely. I’m So Lonely.
Now What Can I Do?

I’m So Tired. I’m So Tired,
And I Can’t Go On.
I’m So Lonely. I’m So Lonely.
Now What Have I Done?

When I Came Over,
You Told Me We’re Through.
Now I’m So Lonely Without You.
(Solo)
I’m So Lonely. I’m So Lonely,
Now What Can I Do?
I’m So Lonely. I’m So Lonely,
And I Can’t Get You. Oho
Now What Can I Do
If I Can’t Get You (Without You),
If I Can’t Get You (Without You),
If I Can’t Get You? Oh, Now What Can I Do Baby?
Please Help Me. I Can’t Get You. (Ad-Lib/Out)

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
