I wanted it to be way more upbeat and to have cooler instruments etc, i wasnt able to do this in the original cause i was using FL Studio 20 and sforzando which is just the worst soundfont player ever which is kinda also why the pitch bending in Mituna's theme is so horrid. There's also this extremely nasty cut near the end of it because it crashed and i basically just glued 2 parts together. Anyway enough rambling about that song, gee i sure do hate my own songs huh.

A last year the PMT put out [our earthbound album](https://pascalpotatovandenbos.bandcamp.com/album/whats-your-favorite-song-earthbound-2019), which was a fun little break from our usual homestuck music thing. I wrote a song on that album called [[track:diamond-dust|"Diamond Dust"]] that quickly became one of my favorite songs I had written at the time. Shortly after the album came out I had the desire make a proper follow up to that track. Sometime later, I was improving on the piano and got this really nice sounding chord progression that made me think of snow. I was looking for an idea at the time for STLaP 3 at the time, so I made this my last song for the album. During the process of writing this song, I had the idea of remixing "Diamond Dust" into this, effectively making Snowfall the a sequel to that song.
