This is one of my earlier tunes. I wrote is specifically to write a song over 3 minutes, since all the songs I wrote beforehand was under 2 minutes. Without the solo, the song would barely be 1 ½ minutes in length. Version 2 of this song is exactly the same as this tune minus the solo work. I knew that I wanted the solo to be mostly rhythm guitar based instead of plucking lead notes like a lead guitarist usually would. I tried my best to get that old, late 50's rock-a-billy feel to it. Hopefully, this homage works on that level. Of course, Buddy Holly inspired this tune.
This is song #37.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

It's Been A Long, Long Time Since I've Been Alone.
And It's Been A Long, Long Time Before I'll Get Back Home.
And To See You Smile Is What I Need.
To Love You Now Is What I See,
And You Belong To Me.

It's Been A Long, Long Time For Me To See.
It's Been A Long, Long Time For Me To Be
In Your Arms, To Squeeze And Hug You.
To Love You Now Is The Thing To Do,
And I Belong To You.

It's Been So Long For Me. I Need You, Just To See.
If You Won't, I Know So Well, That You Could Always Tell.
And I Want You.

It's Been A Long, Long While That I Have Known.
It's Been A Long, Long Time Before It Has Shown.
And To Know You Know Just The Way I Feel
Makes Me Think This Here Love Is Real.
And You Belong To Me.
(Solo)

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
