about

The first song in the series dedicated to 8 and 16-bit computers of the 80s and 90s. Created with Logic Audio. This is the first in the series because my first computer was a MSX. In the videoclip you can see my model right in the beginning. youtu.be/qahniUAcCGg

lyrics

In the land of rising sun, MSX was born,
A computer revolution, on early morn.
From Japan's tech prowess, it was drawn,
MSX, a legacy, now forever worn.

Games like Metal Gear, and Gradius too,
On MSX platform, dreams came true.
But as time passed, the tech grew,
16 bits arrived, bidding adieu.

MSX, oh MSX, a legend in its own right,
Memories linger, in the pixelated light.
Gone but not forgotten, in gaming's flight,
MSX, oh MSX, fade into the night.

Konami classics, and RPGs abound,
MSX, where gaming found its ground.
But as consoles rose, it lost its sound,
In the march of progress, it was bound.

Now collectors cherish, with nostalgia's tear,
MSX memories, oh so dear.
But in the annals of time, it's clear,
MSX's fate, now silent and near.

MSX, oh MSX, a legend in its own right,
Memories linger, in the pixelated light.
Gone but not forgotten, in gaming's flight,
MSX, oh MSX, fade into the night.

So here's to MSX, in history's embrace,
A relic of a time, now a trace.
Though its journey's end, we may face,
MSX's legacy, will always grace.

MSX, oh MSX, a legend in its own right,
Memories linger,

Though its journey's end, we may face,
MSX's legacy, will always grace.

MSX, oh MSX, a legend in its own right,
Memories linger, in the pixelated light.
Gone but not forgotten, in gaming's flight,
MSX, oh MSX, fade into the night.

MSX, oh MSX, a legend in its own right,
Memories linger, in the pixelated light.
Gone but not forgotten, in gaming's flight,
MSX, oh MSX, fade into the night.
