Lofi Lullaby (acoustic version)

Along The Way

An original song made in FFIV style obviously inspired by Theme of Love. Not playing out of a real SNES, but designed to sound like it is. I do my best to emulate FFIV's sound system via Impulse Tracker and clever use of a delay plug-in Will be used on my FFIV album when I finally get around to working on it in a few months when I am done another 8-bit project that I was actually contracted out to do.
