Piano music playing softly

I am the metronome

Steady, always steady

Always constant

Those skips mid song

I am the scratch on the disk

This gives a tune some earned

Every lasting character

Static surrounds the room

I am blown out speakers

Whose blast never fades

Even though the quality dwindles

I am a worn out record needle

Which has yet to dull.

As Vinyl is welcome here.

CBGB's may be gone

I am the legacy it brought

The Ramones started here

Everyone needs a bop

---

A rift made by a steel guitar

I am Roger Water's voice

Singing "Wish you were here"

Although I don't
