Made exclusively with the sounds of the Commodore 64 MOS6581 Multi-SID.
This one actually was quite the challenge. I went all out at the beginning and then realised that I lost sight of the whole Bitpoppy simplistic sound approach and I had too much going on behind the vocals.
So I pared it back then filled it out with rapid changes across as few channels as possible to keep it sounding full.
My gratitude to Jungwoo for finding this song for me. I was at such a loss for what to choose that was kitsch enough.
I really appreciate you taking to the time to listen. Thanks.
Gavin
lyrics
No, no, no, never say
Never say, say goodbye
No no no no I
I never can say goodbye
No no no no I
I never can say goodbye
Every time I think I've had enough
I start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
Piercing me right through the core
It says "turn around you fool, you know you love her more and more"
Tell me why (tell me why)
Is it so?
Don't want to let you go
No never can say goodbye boy, ooh
No, no I never can say goodbye
No no no, no no no, no no no ooh, ooh
Ay, I never can say goodbye boy, ooh baby
I never can say goodbye, no no no, no no no, ooh
I never can say goodbye, no no no no no I
I never can say goodbye (never say goodbye boy)
I keep thinkin' that our problems soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feelin', there's that anguish, there's that doubt
It's that same ol' dizzy hang up
I can't get by without you
Tell me why (tell me why)
Is it so?
Don't want to let you go
No, I never can say goodbye boy, ooh
No, no
I never can say goodbye
No no no, no no no, no no no ooh, ooh
Hey I never can say goodbye boy
Ooh, no baby
I never can say goodbye
No no no, no no no, no no no ooh, ooh
Never say goodbye boy
Never say goodbye boy (ooh)
Every time I think I've had enough
I start heading for the door
It's that same ol' dizzy feeling
Piercing me right through the core
It says "turn around you fool, you know you love her more and more"
Tell me why (tell me why)
Is it so?
I don't want to let you go, no no
Let you go, no no
Let you go, go
Don't ever let you go
No no no, no no no, no no no ooh, ooh (no no no baby)
I never can say goodbye
Ooh, no baby
I never can say goodbye
No no no, no no no, no no no ooh, ooh
Hey
I never can say goodbye boy
Say goodbye boy, say goodbye boy
No never can say goodbye
No no no, no no no, no no no ooh, ooh
Hey, I never can say goodbye boy
I was a demoscene programmer back in the 80s on the Commodore 64 computer. Part of what I did was write a sound player to
exploited tricks to make its sound chip to some conceptually far fetched tricks.
Years later, I've revived my musical bent for the C64 but now I combine modern songs with these sounds of one of the greatest sounding computers of any generation....more
