Song information
This is song #4 from my 2024 RPM Challenge EP Quiet Puzzle - Mixtape.

For those of us who are "of a certain age," our Spotify or Apple Music playlist consisted of cheap cassette tapes filled with our favorite songs painstakingly taped off the radio. It was a cat and mouse game of waiting, hoping and dexterity in punching the "Record" and "Play" buttons at just the right time so as not to cut off the beginning - all the while hoping the DJ didn't talk over the beginning or the end of the song.

But mixtapes could mean a lot more than just a means to listen to your favs through the headphones of your cheap dollar store Walkman ripoff. They were a way to share great song with friends or to let your crush know the complexities of exactly how you feel about them with just the right combination of songs.

Streaming and playlists are great. Especially when you have just about any song you'd want just a few keystrokes away, but it's just not the same. There was as much toil and anguish that went into a mixtape as there was music. And when you put together a good one, there was nothing sweeter and more rewarding.

I hope you enjoy the tune, and if you feel so inspired, feel free to play it through your late-70s Sears stereo system and record it to your own mixtape.

Lyrics
Won’t you listen to my mixtape
it’s got all the greatest songs
I taped them from the radio
I stayed up -  all night long

Someday I wanna be a DJ
with all those records I can play

I’ll make the greatest mixtape
and I’ll play it for you all night long


Won’t you listen to my mixtape
the songs tell you the way I feel
sometimes I’m happy
sometimes I’m sad

So many things I want to do
So many things I want to say to you

So I’ll say them on my mixtape
 for you to play

Won’t you listen to my mixtape
Let it play through your headphones at night
It will be like I’m there with you
as you drift off to sleep

And you can make you own mixtape
to play in your dreams

You can listen to mine
if I -  can listen to yours

If anyone else has a prolem listening to the song, please let me know. I've checked the file as best I can, which isn't much, and it seems fine, but if there is an issue, I'll scrap this version and create a new MP3 from the original Logic file and make a new post.
