Kira Says No is a swing 8th pop song for my granddaughter (my main audience). I wrote the song particularly so she (2 yrs) could recognize her name.

Style: EZLISTP
RealTracks:
1388 Swing Jazz acoustic bass
2193 Swing Rhythm acoustic piano
1985 Swing Rhythm acoustic guitar,
RealDrums: Jazz Brushes.

The music was saved as one WAV track and loaded in Audacity, where I typed in the lyrics, recorded and compressed the vocal, and then mastered (that seems like too much for my skill) the whole thing using Marian Brezovan's EU Pro Mix EQ 10, a freebie from Online Mastering Studio because I have Focusrite's Scarlett Solo. The setting for the mastering was a preset called Full Range Enhance. I chose this software because it was new to me, and seemed different from Eventide's 2016 Stereo Room. I chose this musical setting, which is the demo, because I really liked the vamp.

Thanks for listening and I'm grateful for any comments.

Kira Says No

Kira likes sitting down,
Standing up, Running around
Having fun like a circus clown
Uptown, downtown, midtown, hometown.

Some days Kira’s inclined
Not to be so very refined
She’s a playful mastermind
Don’t ask she’ll decline
Don’t make a federal case
Kira says no.

Kira likes to read a book
Hiding out in a corner nook
She loves to take a look
Even if it’s gobbledygook

Kira likes to watch cartoons
Specially with red balloons
Lot of cops, lots of goons
Little pigs or masked dragoons
Don’t say stop, don’t even try
Kira says no.

Kira did a 5k run
Underneath the noonday sun
Faster time than anyone
Don’t stop now it's too much fun

Kira is a dynamo
She got hugged by her Romeo
She’s an impresario
Don’t try to stop her show
Kira says no.
