This was recorded at my home studio 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 (usually 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, compressors or a mixer, making it quite the challenge to balance the entire sound.
This is the first actual rock and roll song I wrote, and the 3rd song in general that I wrote. I was influenced by CCR and The Beatles at the time I wrote this song. I have no idea what the words were about or how they came to be. I re-wrote a few lines to make it flow a bit better. The ending came from The Champs' "Tequila." Until recently, I had forgotten how hard it was to sing this song. Glad I had a guitar solo in there to help give me a break. (I think I had better lung capacity when I wrote it back 25 years ago.)
Recorded at MINE Music Studio in Auburn, WA.
lyrics
I Can See You Almost Everyday.
I Can Love You In Every Way.
Our Time Will Come And It Will Last.
We Are Forever And It Happened So Fast,
Happened So Fast, Oh, And It’s A Blast.
My Idea Of A Good Time
Is Having You, Baby, By My Side.
I Was So Wrong But I’m Always True.
Why You Love Me, I Don’t Have A Clue,
Not A Clue, Oh, But I Love You!
I Think That You Girl Look Out Of Sight,
And If You Love Me Baby, I Think I Might
Put Up A Fight, Oh, I Think I Just Might.
(Solo)
Your Love For Me Girl Is What I Need.
We Can Do It And We Will Succeed.
Now We’ll Succeed, Oh, Yes Indeed.
If You Leave Me I Think I’d Die.
I Love You Girl And I Don’t Know Why.
Now You’re With Me, What Am I To Do?
You Love Me Baby And I Love You.
I Love You, Oh, You Love Me Too.
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
I've jammed with this guy and have heard this band live. They play with all their soul and it shows--you can hear it as well as feel the music. The Santairs
