MELANIE take one

from RAW SKELETONS (2024 Remaster) by The Santairs

/

about

This was the first take of MELANIE. As you can hear, we were still learning the parts together, and how the synthesizer would fit in to it. There's no mixing involved. What you hear is how we sounded at the time of the recording. After a few takes, we finally nailed it.
This is recording #565.

Recorded at Audio Recording, Inc. in Seattle, WA.

lyrics

Sitting Inside My Lonely Room I Say,
“Until I Have You, This Is Where I'll Stay.”
My Thoughts Have Left Me So Far Behind.
I See With My Eyes, But Still I Am Blind.

Now You're Gone, I Cry And Think Of You.
The Love I Had Was Wrong And Yet So True.
And I Have Learned To Take It Like I Should.
I'd Say I'm Sorry Only If I Could.

Melanie, Oh Melanie, Please Don't Cry!
Melanie, Can't You See You're Mine?

I'm All Alone With Nothing Left To Do.
My Life Is Over All Because Of You.
I Can't Go On Until You Say To Me,
That You And I Were Always Meant To Be.

Melanie, Melanie, Don't You Cry!
Melanie, Let It Be. It's All A Lie.

Love Has Come And Left Me Once Again.
I Feel The Sorrow That Never Seems To End.
And I Can Say Without Any Regrets,
I'll Treasure Forever The Love I'll Never Forget.

Melanie, Melanie, I Wonder Why.
Melanie, How Can This Be Good-By?

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
