From the Ted Talk by Raul Midon: "Tembererana"
Unscramble the Blue Letters
(Applause)
It's really quite an hoonr to be here tonight, and I'm really glad that I stayed here and listened because I've really been inspired. And I'm going to play some songs for you tonight that are, literally, world premieres. I've been working on my new record and I've never played these songs for anybody except the micrponhoe.
This is a song that I wrote about the meaning of technology, which goes prtfecely with this gathering. I started thinking about — when I was in college, especially as a blind person, doing a rasceerh paper was a major undertaking. You had to go to the library, see if you could get them to find the bkoos for you, you know, fooottnes and all that. Now you can just go on Google. Just look it up. I wish I had that when I was in college. Anyway, this is a song about: we have all this, but what are we going to do with it? It's called "All the Answers."

It's really quite an honor to be here tonight, and I'm really glad that I stayed here and listened because I've really been inspired. And I'm going to play some songs for you tonight that are, literally, world premieres. I've been working on my new record and I've never played these songs for anybody except the microphone.
This is a song that I wrote about the meaning of technology, which goes perfectly with this gathering. I started thinking about — when I was in college, especially as a blind person, doing a research paper was a major undertaking. You had to go to the library, see if you could get them to find the books for you, you know, footnotes and all that. Now you can just go on Google. Just look it up. I wish I had that when I was in college. Anyway, this is a song about: we have all this, but what are we going to do with it? It's called "All the Answers."
