sounds allot like this https://battleofthebits.com/arena/Entry/it+snowed+yesterday/34060/

I definitely see some similarities. Same time signatures, the chords and the way they behave are similar too.

Me too, have you seen this OPM?

Wow man, I hath not till now. Ive seen Aly James take Mega Drive songs and add extensions before, but takes skill to do that effectively with Thunder Force IV.
