For this song, I had the pleasure of being able to record David Naumann, who was
visiting Microsoft Research on a sabbatical. As you'll hear, Dave added a gorgeous
sax track for this song, and he played the guitar too.
Enjoy!

CHORUS:
I see things from my analog world
Needle against the vinyl groove
Something out there, new to me
I'm reaching out
The grass is green here, but some advances
do get my attention, you see
Enter CD, like a duende
intoxicating my senses, mesmerizing
Yes, you can call me retro
Stuck in the times of 8-tracks
Doesn't mean I don't see potential
right outside my window
I admire from a distance
Shiny and fantastic
I'm becoming a fan
CHORUS
One CD, quite accomplished
delicious and exciting, energetic
Stepping out, CD in hand
I just wanna dance, turn up the music
Yes, you can call me retro
One who likes to boogie
But the cadence can come from ones and zeros,
the digital language
Instructions based on linguistics
I marvel at the flexibility
Oh, what a winning hand
CHORUS
SOLO
Sure, you can call me retro
I'm one who likes disco
But in fitting ways I'd like to
broaden my horizons
What a special creation
that brought me this inspiration
How can I share this gem?
CHORUS
