by coincidence I'm dealing with the question of tempo/speed with my latest, Sing Along. Still not sure I ended up with the right one! It can be tricky. This works but I can also imagine it faster.

Solid song writing in personifying the cassette--I still have a bunch of them and will harvest a song from time to time to publish here.  More than that, you get to the heart of what our feelings were when that was THE medium of transportable music--hiss, jams, and all:)

Great song! I really dig this! Your vocals are awesome! Great job!👍😎✌🏼

This is Such a Cool Pop Track ! & Love the Cool Feel/Drag of It !

“I enjoy the slowed down versions of songs so I decided to have some fun with the speed of this one. 

This song is inspired by McCartney III and The Beatles - mainly their Sgt. Pepper era - and is about trends, life long love and friendship. I personified the cassette to develop the narrative of music being a companion, how it is always there for us and how much joy it brings.”  

CASSETTE TAPE

I’m a cassette tape 
Do you remember me?
Once your solace, your friend
Now I’m out of trend
I am covered in dust, vintage technology 
I will wait for you
Will you wait for me? 

When you were younger
You would turn to me
Those times you were lost
You would read through the sleeve notes and find yourself
Find a place where you can be 
Look in the mirror and see what you want to see

In a dusty room I am found and people shake and see
If I sound like I did
If I make your ears believe 
I shine again like a new penny in the street
Come alive again
Press play and hit repeat 

There you go away from me
I taught you all I know and made you 
all you can be
I know seasons go and tides will change 
Say “you’ll listen to me”
Say “you’ll listen again”
