about

This song was recorded at Audio Recording, Inc. in Seattle by legendary engineer, Kearney Barton (who recorded The Kingsmen "Jolly Green Giant" of "Louie, Louie" fame, The Sonics "Psycho", The Frantics "Werewolf", and many others.) It was an 8 track analog studio, recorded onto 1 inch reel tape. This song featured Wayde Brown (me) on lead and backing vocals and guitars, Sean Crain on bass guitar, and Bill Fletcher on drums. With the Audacity program, I finished off the backing vocals and a little more guitar work. This was another song I didn't complete until much later. I was originally going to redo this song in a professional studio that my father owns, called CELL BLOCK STUDIO, but I would never be able to replicate Bill's drum part, which I think is absolutely incredible and perfect.
To finish off this particular mix, I had to convert it from a cassette format (which was the only format I had this in) onto the Audacity program on my computer with a JVC TD-W254 Double Cassette Deck 3 motor Silent Mechanism.
This is the 158th song I wrote. It was a response to John Lennon's "Jealous Guy" which I really liked. I also liked the title. I had the title before I wrote the song. This is one of the few songs I've written where I still like the words after all these years. I also was influenced by John Lennon’s other song, “Going down on Love.”

Recorded at Audio Recording, Inc. in Seattle, WA. and MINE music Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

I Lived Long Ago, In A World Of Today,
And Now It's Gone, It Has Been Since Yesterday,
I Am So Lonely, I Feel Like I Can Cry.
Please Stop My Aching. I Feel Like I Can Die.
I'm Just A Jealous Guy, No, No, No, No.
I'm Just A Shy Guy, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.

When I Was A Boy, I Feel The Same Now I'm A Man.
It's A Heaven Of Hatred That I Just Don't Understand.
I Locked Myself Away In A Closet Full Of Dreams.
I Can't Face Reality. That Is What It Seems.
I'm Just A Jealous Guy, No, No, No, No.
I'm Just A Shy Guy, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.

With A Helping Hand, You Say You'll Change The World Today,
But As I See It Now, It's Clear Since You've Gone Away, Oho!
(Solo)
Now I'm All Alone In A Place That Is So Cold.
Of Things I Feel, There's Nothing I Can Hold.
What Can I Say To Feel Like I Should?
I'll Do Anything. I Would Try If I Only Could.
I'm Just A Jealous Guy, No, No, No, No.
I'm Just A Shy Guy, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
I'm Just A Shy Guy, Oho.
I'm Just A Shy Guy.
I'm Just A Shy Guy, Hmm.

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
