Made with the sounds of the Commodore 64 home computer.
This song draws parallels to real life for me - just the name is different. There's a few 8 bit covers of Toto's "Africa" but I wanted to do a Toto song that hasn't been done to death.
Lots of swirly arpeggios, pulse leads & sawtooth/triangles incidentals.
Made with ♥

lyrics
All I want to do when I wake up in the morning is see you eyes
Rosanna, Rosanna
Never thought that a girl like you could ever care for me, Rosanna
All I want to do in the middle of the evening is hold you tight
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know you were looking for more than I could ever be
Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna
Now she's gone and I have to say
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna, yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna, yeah
I can see your face still shining through the window on the other side
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know that a girl like you could make me feel so sad, Rosanna
All I want to tell you is now you'll never ever have to compromise
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that losing you could ever hurt so bad
Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna, yeah
Now she's gone and I have to say
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna, yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna, yeah
Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna, yeah
Now she's gone and I have to say
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna, yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna, yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna, yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna, yeah
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
