One press of Sing plays this song on this device (1:33) and stops after the last: the piano and the words come from the score, so a key change or a slower tempo changes no sound file.
The microphone is asked for only when you press its button. What it hears is measured and scored on this device and never leaves it; nothing is kept unless you record and save the file yourself. What is kept, and where.
The words
A wren just under my window Has suddenly,
sweetly sung; He woke me from my slumbers With
his sweet shrill tongue.
It was so very early, The dewdrops were not
dry, And pearly cloudlets floated Across the
rosy sky.
Ah
His nest is in the ivy Where his little wife
sits all day, And by her side he sings to her,
And never flies far away.
