lyrics

Let us follow through the step and the processes,
In transmitting, Or sending radio messages,
First of all, the sound waves produced by the announcer,
Are picked up by the microphone,
Which is one element in the transmitter circuit,
This circuit requires a source of electrical energy,
All sound sources set the molecules of air into vibration,
In such a manner as to produce waves which travel through the air,

The radio brings into the home,
The school room, and the office,
Music by leading artists,
And news of world events,
The radio is one of the outstanding developments of the 20th century,
With modern radio sending and receiving equipment,
It is possible to establish communication instantaneously,

Commercial and military aviation depend on radio,
The coastguard and the navy,
Army tank operations are directed by radio,
Radio waves are sent out in all directions,
Which travel out into space with a speed of 186,000 miles a second,
Radio waves are sent out in all directions,
And travel out into space with the speed of light,

The radio brings into the home,
The hospital, and the office,
Drama by outstanding actors,
Speeches by men in public life,
Together with weather and market reports,
The radio is one of the outstanding developments of the 20th century,
With modern radio sending and receiving equipment,
It is possible to establish communication instantaneously,

From any place,
At any time,
From any place,
At any time,
From any place, at any time,
From any place, at any time,
From any place,
From any place,
From any place, at any time,

The radio brings into the home,
The school room, the hospital, and the office,
Music by leading artists,
Drama by outstanding actors,
Speeches by men in public life,
And news of world events,
Together with weather and market reports,
The radio is one of the outstanding developments of the 20th century,
With modern radio sending and receiving equipment,
It is possible to establish communication instantaneously,

From any place,
At any time,

Point Cove Scotland, UK

I grew up in the Isle Of Lewis. From a young age I've enjoyed music and started playing the guitar when I was about 11, instantly finding joy in writing songs.

At the age of 22 I took up the banjo and glockenspiel to form an Indie-folk band with my flatmate.

Now I'm 35 years old and I still love writing songs. I want to share the music with others who will hopefully appreciate my efforts. ... more
