Elements of chiptune/ computer sounds

LyricsShow lyrics

No Memory
By Rachael Layne
Challenge: chiptunes/computer sounds - sounds from SID-Station that emulates Commodore 64 sounds.

I recall some good times
Long nights that touched sunshine
Endless roadtrips in my car
Time changed all... Our faces, new scars, embraces, dive bars...
Somehow I recall it all.

There's no memory that's gonna change things
I can't look at you the same
Somehow I still love you, but I don't know you
There's no memory to save who you became the day you changed

I was under your spell
Ride or die through, fire and hell
My resolve was tried and true.
I would have done almost anything for you.
And I was so wrong, our bond's not that strong,
We fell apart before too long.

There's no memory that's gonna change things
I can't look at you the same
Somehow I still love you, but I don't know you
There's no memory to save who you became the day you changed

You changed

I'll never wish you any harm
In fact I'm glad you came along
There comes a time for moving on
We've reached tomorrow and it's gone

There's no memory that's gonna change things
I can't look at you the same
Somehow I still love you, but I don't know you
There's no memory to save who you became the day you changed

The day you changed

this is a really pretty song and it’s nice to hear something mellower in a mostly fairly in-your-face round. The chiptunes feel a little odd for the genre to me, but in a way that I don't mind - this isn't my favourite genre, and despite the skilful songwriting I feel like it might have been a bit forgettable for me IF it didn't have the cool chiptune drums and synths in there to make it stand out.

There’s so much I like about this. You nail the performance, and the lyrics tell a great story. You check all the boxes for the challenges, but I think I’d actually like this more without the blip & bloops. When I here this, I picture a woman singing with her guitar kinda daydreaming about the past & thinking about her future. The lyrics don’t really connect to the chiptunes part of it, and the image I have in my head listening is different. That being said, they sounded fine, they weren’t distracting & I thought were used well. I just think I could like it more without. Either way, for me it’s your best song of the contest thus far, and a job well done. Oh, and I loved the line, “There’s no memory to save who you became the day you changed”.
