Jimmy had a problem in his job
He couldn’t focus because his heart throbbed
Passing by her desk he would cry
Been two weeks since she said goodbye
Seemed to occupy all of his thoughts
What could he do? He was distraught
Seeing us, we put his mind at ease
Now he lives his life as he pleases

With No Memory
No Memory
No Memory
No Memory

Poor Becky, she had been betrayed
Her friend revealed the truth she conveyed
Everyone learned the secret she had hid
An injustice she could never rid
Years later she hadn’t forgot
Trusting anyone still remained so fraught
She came to see us and what do you know
Her mind became as pure as driven snow

With No Memory
No Memory
No Memory
No Memory

Scars of the mind don’t simply go away
They can wound, disrupt and trouble you every day
We’ll provide you the helping hand that you need
In a few short sessions you’ll be free
Satisfaction guaranteed!

the chiptune synths sound good but the rest of this is very Straightforward Rock Song which is a bit of a comedown for me after last week’s excellent song. I've enjoyed Geech's voice on his solo Song Fight submissions but the strained quality to it here isn't my cup of tea at all; the layered vocals on the chorus sound great but the “repeat the title four times” lyrics don’t particularly grab me (although I guess it allows for the call and response stuff later on which is cool).

You really embraced the novelty song this round, and did a GREAT job with it. Used the title & the computer sounds prominently in the chorus. Told a clear, entertaining story. Vocals & music both were catchy. This is just damn fine work. I’ve only listened to 2 songs at this point, and I think they should both win the round.
