Existential by
A-zu-ra
i think i'm kind of having an existential crisis with me and making music. it seems as if i'm starting to become less of the 8-bit roots that i started off with and more of the electronic influences that i've come to be...
why do i need compatibility?
why do i need 9-bit?
should i or should i not let go of my chipped roots?
i just don't know anymore.

Carry on without by
StatusKuo
3rd compo.
Walk along and live life in the same way;
as if the world didn't know that they were gone.
Time that carries life along with it inexorably forward,
perhaps now with a different meaning.
Memories of faces, fragments of voices pushed down,
hushed and smothered in quiet anxiety.
Cold sweat and clenched fists in nervous
apprehension of reminiscence.
The curse of memory.

refusing to let go of my influences by
johnfn
this is my 50th OHC
which isn't exactly a HUGE milestone compared to some people here, but for me it marks about a year of work, and a year of insane improvements
and to say thanks to all the amazing help i've gotten from the OHC i decided to write a song that referenced as many OHC artists as i possibly could. of course i couldn't possibly hope to get to everyone but i tried my best!
as usual, here's the link to my project file https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1520757/ohc242%20amalgamation%20letting%20go.als

Reach for the Stars by
Bren
Let go of your fears and doubts. Let the music fill your body and just let it all out!
Really happy with this one. First time I really felt it since OHC 200.

you are looking for something in the present
but uncover something from the past
for a moment you smile, entrenched in reverie
but that was long ago, the memory is long gone
it is time to let go

Emo Emo Emoness Emo Emo by
TheMisterCat
oh, oh.
saw you walking through the desert
I knew you weren't there forever and
though we shared that moment kindly
thought you would have found me gently but
found you walking out that evening
you were holding hands and weeping
gently weeping
now
i must go
never mind
where the wind blows
and you
you have escaped
and I let you
I was foolish to think it would last
Now I come to terms with feeling
As I stare into the ceiling and
You're not here to see me weeping
You moved on and I'm not ready to
Wish you'd stayed but I'm afraid of
What would happen if you chose to and
Soon you'll have forgotten who I
Represented now resented by you sadly
now
i must go
never mind
where the wind blows
and you
you have escaped
and I let you

You Are Here by
Misael.K
One night of December
you sat next to me (sat by me)
we were alone, remember?
it was all so sweet
Such beautiful memories!
oh, I've never felt (ever had)
crazy emotions like these
cos' of my lonely past
but what if I told you
that it was all a dream
your hazy perfume
now lost in the wind
and everything we shared
only happened in your mind
I was never there
you were always mad
OK now, wake up dear
we have reached the end
we'll continue here
on the twenty-third
we've made a lot of progress
but there's a lot to go (way to go)
in a year more or less
you won't feel so low
I wish I could go back
I wish I could hug you one more time
but I can't...
One night of December
you sat next to me (sat by me)
we were alone, remember?
it was all so sweet
I won't forget you
you will always be a part of me
but we're no longer two
it's just me
Note: vocals recorded in one take, so they may be off here and there.

Freedom of the Fall by
Trancient
Eventually we all have to let go...
Inevitably, we all fall.
Maybe when we do, it wont be so bad after all.
Maybe... it's in the fall that we find freedom.

I started late and recorded myself making it.
I spent exactly 59 minutes and 28 seconds on this song.
but then my antivirus software decided to spike my CPU, and it's been at 100% for the past 20 minutes now.
augh
but yeah, I've been listening to some dancy bassy something recently idk
