OH MY LOVER BRINGS ME FLOWERS demo

about

This was my first attempt at recording this song back in 1991 or 1992. Kearney Barton was the engineer and it's one of the first times I went into the studio solo and performed all the instruments except the piano. I couldn't play piano at all at the time, so I asked my friend, Sean Crain, to put a piano part to it for reference. I never came back to this demo or this song in general until 20 years later, when I decided to record the final version at my other studio, The CELL BLOCK Studio, again, playing all the instruments (but this time, including the piano part—on keyboards.)
This is recording #572.

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

lyrics

Oh My Lover Brings Me Flowers,
And She Lets Me Take Her Home.
Yes, My Lover Brings Me Flowers.
We Shall Never Be Alone.

As We Think Of Future Plans,
Set A Goal For Everyone,
We’ll Be Happy And Together,
Living Life In Love And Fun.

What Would You Do If I Left You?
Would You Cry Like I Would?
How Could I Have Thought Of Ever Leaving You?
'Cause I Loved You In A Way I Never Should.

Oh My Lover Gives Me Kisses,
With Her Love That Shines On Through.
Feeling Sorry, Please Forgive,
My Love Hasn’t Been So True.

What Would You Do If I Cheated You?
Would You Leave Me For Good?
I’m So Ashamed Of Ever Feeling Like This.
Yes, I Loved You In A Way I Never Could.

Oh My Lover Brings Me Sorrow,
Never Ending Pain Goes Through.
Oh My Lover Brings Me Sorrow,
And I Cry And Think Of You.

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
