Wish this VGM fit on my flashcart so I could play it back on real hardware

I need to start a self-help group for people like me who just can't vibe with singing in chiptune. Song is very good but I know I would enjoy it more if I could get over that personal hangup of mine

sure--

i should've left a trail behind me cause now i've gone astray
everybody is a million miles away
i've never felt so disconnected from the path i walked before
i wanna plant my seeds on the garden floor
so they'll grow into
another life with you
no one in our way
together on a brand new day

let's be like strangers
who've never been torn apart
we'll forget what we did and we said and we'll go back to the start
and i'll know how you feel
when all the poison will be healed
with no lines in the sand
we're free to walk hand in hand
heart to heart

i used to ride the waves of chance, you better take them before they're gone
the water's still and the tides have all withdrawn
i was another person then, i don't remember how that felt
every decision based on the hand i'm dealt
by coincidence
develop common sense
know what matters most
cause only then we'll kill the ghost

let's be like strangers
we'll never know what we missed
with the history gone we'll have no grudges to cross off our list
and we'll see through the dark
to where our future lost its spark
if we keep up the torch we'll never find ourselves lost in the mist

let's be like strangers
who've never spoken their last
never fought over irreconcilable things in our past
where the cracks start to show
in this feeling we all know
there's no going back no matter how much you're filled with regret

let's be like strangers
let's be like strangers
let's be like strangers

shld i like this?
shld i hate this?

am i impressed over it being full vocals in a sgen submission or shld i be annoyed that this is stretching the format limits by a LOT and was already started with the thought of no-hardware-compatibility in mind.

the mixing is far from being perfect, but its also extremly well mixed for being sgen chiptune with pcm vocals....

do i even like the song from a music standpoint? music-wise it feels kinda... boring almost? at least nothing special happend that made me remember the song itself, apart from the concept(tm)

im gonna vote in the most schizo way possible to properly reflect my confusion on this

i submitted an entry within the filesize limit for this format. if that is somehow disagreeable, change the limit for the future

Very unusual (but in a good way) from what one could expect from the sgen format. It sure has a cozy and joyful indie pop feel to it.
