Aloha, Patrons!!

With great pride and gratitude, I'm happy to share my new recording of an original song. "Microscope (Tiny Telephone Sessions)" is out now.

Please watch the video and stream the track wherever you listen to music. If you feel so moved, you can buy the single direct from me on Bandcamp. I am grateful for your support!

About “Microscope (Tiny Telephone Sessions)”
Tiny Telephone is a gem of a studio, featuring analog and vintage gear, and the warmest, coziest vibes.
This solo version of "Microscope" was recorded to 2-inch tape.
"Microscope" is a song I treasure, with a 19-year history. The title track from my third album, this original piece still remains precious and true to me. After several ukulele-based albums, I’m thrilled to mark my return to guitar with this special recording.

Enjoy, share, and leave a comment if you like!

With you and your objective eye Sizing me up and down constantly analyzed I'm trying to be myself I just wanna be myself I don't wanna hide I don't wanna hide What do you see? What do you see? What do you see? What do you see? Wish I could see what you see Wish I could see what you see What do you see? What do you see? Wish I could see what you see Wish I could see what you see What I hide I'm on a slide A living mystery A self apology What I hide I'm on a slide A living mystery Oh oh oh What do you see? #cynthialin #singersongwriter #microscope #tinytelephone
