True story. The age of obsolescence.

Lyrics

Sometimes I can be an early adopter
One day I got a CD burner
It must have been the first on the block
Then one of the next things to take shape
I made a CD just like a mixtape
This boy knew how to rock

I was as proud as a computer owner could be
Mixtape on a CD

I read it in a magazine right there on the page
Suddenly Sharpies became all the rage
The right way to label a CD
The thin Sharpie was still plenty fat
But no one ever complained about that
It was the coolest thing to see

I got red, blue, and green ’cause the world had to see
My mixtape on a CD

It seems like only a year or two later
The Hannah Montana MP3 player
Now I could cut out the middleman
Now the tapes are all gone but on the shelf you’ll still see
The mixtape that landed on a CD
And sometimes I pull it down and play it again

It sounds just as clean as it ever could be
Mixtape on a CD

“The this sharpie was still pretty far but no one ever complained about that” was brilliant! Wonderful tune…

Im a sucker for storytelling like this and the little details, like the size of the Sharpie and being the first CD burner owner on the block. Nice one 🙂

love your storytelling and the detail added with the color and thickness of the sharpies.
