[b]The legals:[/b]
All B&Massa music is freely distributable. It may not be locked up or copied for commercial purposes unless permission is expressly granted by me, but it may be shared openly with listeners, even if you've paid for it at iTunes or Rhapsody (they've been given permission to copy-protect my songs)

If any music player or distribution system copy-protects or locks up my music files without my permission, I want to know about it. This practice is illegal under the terms of my music licence and I will take any or all legal action to recover my rights from any individual or company who devises a system which does this as a matter of course to any of my music.

[b]Attention Zune owners:[/b]
If you know another Zune owner in your local area, download this song (it's free!), "squirt" it to your friend's Zune. When their DRM'd copy expires in 3 days, send me a copy of that file along with long term contact details, and I'll sue Microsoft for stealing my music, sharing any winnings (after costs) in a 3-way split with you and your friend.

[b]Now the normal song info:[/b]
Radio is the first electronic medium, radio will probably be the last to go when civilisation grinds down, too.

My first girlfriend and I gave ourselves to each other to the sound of Thin Lizzy's [i]The Boys Are Back In Town[/i] playing on the radio in her mum's beaten up old Holden. (Her mum wasn't there! OK OK, enough already, sheesh.)

Radio told me all the big news stories as they happened. Hours before TV could, a day before the papers, it even beats the net for speed of turnaround sometimes. And when we fall in love, doesn't every song on the radio play for us?

Today, I lost my last active, live-to-air production role in my duty statement. There is still plenty for me to do, but none of it is directly related to making radio programmes (which is my second love after music.)

Radio told me I loved her, and her, and her. Now, maybe radio is telling me about somebody new, I'm just not quite ready to listen, and maybe she's lost to another station. We'll see.

Song Lyrics:

The Radio Told Me
by B&Massa
2006 - 12 - 20

The radio is my closest friend
The radio just never lies
The airwaves tell me all the news
and brings to me all that is wise

So when I hear that brand new love song
I know it's true it can't be wrong

The radio told me you loved me
the radio told me you care
I heard the news in every love song
your smile beamed live across the air

The truth revealed in every lyric
Every song is yours and mine
The radio knows us better than we do
It knows our love is oh so fine

So when the dial is locked in
I hear the songs and see your grin

The radio told me you loved me
the radio told me you care
I heard the news in every love song
your smile beamed live across the air

(joyful, triumphant solo)

So when I hear that brand new love song
I know it's true it can't be wrong

The radio told me you loved me
the radio told me you care
I heard the news in every love song
your smile beamed live across the air

(repeat chorus ad lib)
