IT SEEMS SO FREAKIN' STRANGE

from INDEFATIGABLY avant​-​garde (2024 Remaster) by The Santairs

/

about

This is the same song I wrote called IT SEEMS SO STRANGE, but this tape was exposed to either direct sunlight OR was washed in the washing machine sometime back in the late 80's. (Both these possibilities did take place years ago). This version was recorded on my two track recorder as a demo, with me on vocals and guitar and my father on bass. I found the recording so strange (forgive the pun) that I decided to overdub a tambourine and mix it down. I added the word FREAKIN' and called it good. The warped sound of the recording makes me giggle nearly every time I hear it.
This is recording #622.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

It Seems So Strange Dear, Who’s To Blame
When Things Are Different And Nothing’s The Same?
When You Left Me, I Was Far Behind,
Running In Circles And Runnin’ Blind.

It Seems So Strange Now, Why Did You Lie?
You Made Me Mad And You Made Me Cry.
It Seems So Strange Dear, Who’s To Blame?
You Are To Blame For All My Pain.

Now That You’ve Gone Away,
I’ll Get By And Go My Way.
Now That I’m All Alone.
You Then Call Me On The Phone.
(Solo)
It Seems So Strange Girl, Why Did We Fight?
Now That You’re Gone, I Feel All Right.
It Seems So Strange Dear. I’m Glad You’re Gone.
So I Can Live Again And Go On.

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
