Do you by chance have the text somewhere? Is it an existing song or 
did you write it yourself?

Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration. I had to pump up the volume a 
bit, but then it was quite audible. There is some background noise, 
indeed, but well... it doesn't really disturb me (partly because I'm 
a musician?). It reminds of those pleasants moments when I used to 
seek and find interesting radio stations on the short wave.

When I made my own recordings, I held the microphone so close that I 
could touch it with my tongue. And every time I had to take or 
release some breath, I simply turned it away. Takes some practise, 
but works well.
