Andrew Ambrose - You Make the Change (MSX AY-3-8910+SCC+ Original Song)
17We're starting off 2023 with a bang (well, I kinda already started it with my annual New Year's video, but that's merely a simple technicality)! I've finally started making original chiptune music! I've been wanting to do so for at least a year, and I have attempted to start a few songs while working on other projects, but I finally got around to making and completing one now with the power of MSX's AY-3-8910 (plus Konami's SCC+ audio expansion for it) and the beautiful tool that is tildearrow's Furnace tracker! I even wrote lyrics for it, which helped shape the song's main melody (I'll put them right at the bottom of the description)! I'm quite pleased with my results (though I'm still tryna figure out how to properly do percussion with the AY-3-8910's noise generation), especially since this is the first time I ever fully completed a song, let alone a chiptune song, and I'm excited to hear what you guys think of it. Also, I'm including another bonus in the downloads: I decided to give my Konami Bubble System cover of Harrier Saga a bit of an overhaul two days ago, and I really like what I did with it! Anyways, I hope you enjoy my first original chiptune! ^w^

Lyrics (the melody starts about a minute in):
You make the change within your life
to ease the pain within your mind
You settle down and find yourself
to mend your state of mental health
Despite the things that keep you down while the world
continues spinning, spinning 'round,
the love and passion fuels your soul, and you find
the strength to push on through it all
Your brain, it runs at the speed of sound
Your heart, it carries on
You feel as if you reach out to the sun
As long as you're here with me,
you can realize your dreams
Who is to say they're merely fantasies?
[Instrumental]
You make the change within your life
to ease the pain within your mind
You settle down and find yourself
to mend your state of mental health
