Audio Presentation: A Song Praising E-Readers

I wrote and recorded this song using a piece of software called Pro Tools. After I had mixed the multiple tracks into a single wave file I converted it to an mp3 file using Audacity.

In this song I focused on upbeat synth instrumentation and quick rhyming lyrics which address the E-Reader in second person and are full of praise.

Lyrics:
your pages so paper free
saved so many trees
some books are even free
what's not to like about you

in the sun by the sea
your e-ink screen so clear to see
immersed for hours truly
i like everything about you

the way you feel in my hand
the way you remember my pages and
the 2 months your battery can last
i cant last with out you

it's all black and white to me
tablets have lost their sheen
so please feel no jealousy
i'm so happy i found you

when i think of those late nights
too many late nights
ending up in fights
another chapter turn the page

now we have bigger things in our sights
a five volume series titled
a song of fire and ice
this is more than just a craze

reading in the bus a luxury
without heavy books i feel so free
a thousand book i want to read
i'm your number one fan

and you're still a novelty
i like it when people stop and stare
cos you're something new to see
i'm your number one fan
