THAT'S THE BAD PART

from EMOTIONAL INCEST (2024 Remaster) by The Santairs

about

I recorded this song at my studio home 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 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 any pre-amps, compressor or a mixer, making it quite the challenge to balance the entire sound.
I wrote the words to this song in high school within 45 minutes. I used the same chords and similar progression as the song I wrote prior called, "Keep A-Rockin' A Little More." I think it has a catchy beat, though I consider this more of a throw away than anything. This is song #14 that I wrote. For the lead vocal, I was trying to sound like I had a bad cold (which I didn't at the time) and see what it would sound like. This is the result.

Recorded at MINE Music Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

Well I Fell In Love With You When You Came To Me.
Your Love For Me Is Real Now, Can’t You See?
I Hate It When You Go To Talk With That Man.
It’s Your Money That He Wants And You Just Don’t Understand.
And That’s The Bad Part.

Now You’re Puttin’ Me Down When You Have Nothin’ To Lose.
It’s Not Him That You Want; It’s Me You Gotta Choose.
Then He Buys You Diamond Rings To Take You Away.
I Want You For My Own But You Just Don’t Want To Stay.
And That’s The Bad Part.

That’s The Bad Part. That’s The Bad Part.
(Solo)
Now You’re With That Man And He’s Not Loving You True.
If You Come With Me, I’ll Show You What To Do.
I Can’t Cope With The Fact That You Are Really Gone.
My Life Is Over And I Can’t Go On.
And I Can’t Go On.

That’s The Bad Part. That’s The Bad Part.
That’s The Bad Part. That’s The Bad Part.

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
