THESE GOLDEN YEARS demo

about

This is the very first recording made at our home studio, later called The CELL BLOCK Studio. This recording is also the first demo Nick and I ever made and the only one that exists for this particular song. This demo is interesting where you can hear Nick taking the lead vocal during the first chorus and me taking the lead for the 2nd chorus. In the final released version, I ended up doing both choruses. You can hear us trying to find what parts to sing and working things out as we went along. We didn't rehearse this much at all before we clicked the RECORD button. This version is in its very rough and beginning stages, and it was fun going down memory lane regarding this tune, which is one of my grandparent's and father's favorite tunes that I wrote.
This is recording #566.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

You Said You'll Always Love Me And Never Leave.
Our Love Was Always True And Was Meant To Be.
At First Glance That I Saw You, You Looked My Way.
I Took Your Hand In Mine And Started To Say,

"I Love You, I Need You. I Knew It From The Start,
For You Were Always There, 'Cause You Are In My Heart.
I Told You, I'd Hold You Through Every Single Day."
And I Say, "I Love You, I Love You!"

We Walked On Down The Aisle And We Said, "I Do!"
We Had Good Times And Bad Times, And I Had You.
Through These Golden Years, Our Love Has Never Died.
I Wondered How We Got Here, But Never Doubted Why

I Love You, I Need You! I Felt It From The Start,
'Cause You Are Always There For You're Within My Heart.
I Told You, I'd Hold You For Every Single Day,
Then I Say, "I Love You, I Love You!"

I Love You, I Need You, I Wanted You From The Start,
For You Are All My Dreams That Stays Inside My Heart.
I Have You; You Have Me For Every Single Day
When You Say, "I Love You, I Love You! I Love You!"

I Love You (Oo) I Love You.....I Love You (Oo) I Love You.....
Yes I Love You (Oo) You Know I Love 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
