I'LL SPEND MY LIFE WITH YOU
Written by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart
Originally released in 1967 by The Monkees on the 'Headquarters' LP

There are two versions of this song. The official one is on The Monkees third album 'Headquarters'. The other is a lovely softer take on the tune done by the band for their previous album 'More Of The Monkees' – this version is available on the recent Rhino editions of the groups back catalogue.

The Monkees for me have always been an album band. There are the hits, and then there all the strong tracks spread over their records - the first four especially. 'I'll Spend My Life With You' was written by Boyce&Hart, who are perhaps best known for writing the bands first chart-topper, the sublime 'Last Train To Clarksville'. Boyce and Hart were also in a mid sixties LA pop band that had one of the best band names in the history of rock – The Candy Store Prophets. Beat that.

They were pop writers in the best sense, and with 'I'll Spend...' they wrote a gentle, melodic, and romantically heroic song. Our version has the strum up high – we are in love with the melody, simple guitar lines run through the mix played by the session's bass player Scott Bromily, and hopefully total joy is heard in our recording
