lyrics

Wind, pause, run, record, load, release and cancel.

Better check the bias, set the spool size, and don't forget the speed. It's slow for speech and 15 IPS for music.

Switch the source to "tape", and dial in some bass and treble.

Run it past the heads. Bring the memories to life and see the needles hit the peaks, measuring the volume units.

That's my childhood world you can hear above the tape noise.
