about

Winning the award for most meta song of all time, I wrote this song for an 8-bit compilation, revamped a bit for the album.
While I don't actually like the growling takes I used anymore, I enjoy the way I processed the rest of the vocals on this a lot. I do miss the pulse-width modulating "bass" break from the original (which was done with the old freeware synth Buzzer, for whatever that's worth)

lyrics

I wanted on the 8-bit compilation
So I wrote a song that sounds like this
it's pretty cool, it's gameboy simulation
I never thought I'd make a song like this
This song is a story about itself and the reasons that it came about today, hooray
What's the fucking point of rhyming?
So here's my song for the CD
Take it and listen all you damn well please
I hope it's worth all of my effort, it took me about an hou
