For a very long time, I hesitated to make this. Lines in the Sand is my favourite song of all time and I didn't want to risk ruining it for myself by going through the process of transcription and 8-bitification (shut up that's a real word). Needless to say, I got round to it eventually. Very happy with how this one turned out.
My new album is out! Blind Leading the Blind is available on all major streaming platforms including right here on Youtube! (You can catch it on my other channel, @adamgouldmusic5558)

I adhered to the NES limit of 4 maximum simultaneous sounds (technically it's 5, but I use two combined for the kick drum as did most NES composers), which means that in order to accurately represent the chords, I had to arpeggiate some parts and harmonise with the bass in others.
