Stunned, then whisked away
Staring out into a nightmare Stuck years in the past
I stepped through the looking glass
And descended to an empty world. Breaking through from the ground
Is there still hope
Waiting here to be freed
Can this world be restored, will it rise up
If I planted the seeds
Could I bring it back to life? Those that died, they left behind
Cryptic writings to explain
Four heroes once were promised
Too late, these tablets and fossils
All that remains Breaking through from the ground
Is there still hope
Waiting here to be freed
Can this world be restored, will it rise up
If I planted the seeds
Could I bring it back to life? We will flood the sky
With unearthly light
But if every lantern dies
Do we all fall down? Just a wish to sow
So I carved our hope
Filled it up
Then let it go In a world lighter than air
Could a dream that's lost be healed?
The hope I held beside me
Took flight as I entered this wasteland
Daylight revealed Buried under the ground
Is there no hope
Waiting here to be freed?
Like this world we'll be dead
Will we rise up
If I planted the seeds... When I fall back to sleep and I'm dreaming
I'll look up to the clouds
If it's out there to see, to believe in
There's no reason to doubt Step out into the world
We're not homestuck
Take the chance to be free
'Cause this land can't be dead
We will rise up
So I planted the seeds
And I'll bring it back to life. --- Track: A World Awake Artists: - David Ellis Duration: '7:17' URLs: - https://casualsunday.bandcamp.com/track/a-world-awake Referenced Tracks: - Cyan Beast --- Track: Blue Blood Group Artists: - Mark J.

The more favorable to one the change is, the luckier one is said to be. In contrast, strength can be defined as the measure of one's ability to directly enact change in one's environment. Therefore, though they approach it differently, luck and strength share a common purpose.) Commentary: |- Mark J. Hadley: ([YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MNfr-CC56E)) As evident by the title, this is intended to be a style parody of Blue Man Group, using the themes of Vriska and Equius as a base. I’ve always wanted to write a song using the PVC pipe instrument, and this seemed like a good opportunity. --- Track: Bro Hop Artists: - Michael Guy Bowman Duration: '3:08' URLs: - https://casualsunday.bandcamp.com/track/bro-hop Referenced Tracks: - Aggrieve (Violin Refrain) --- Track: Wily Espionage Artists: - Thomas Ferkol Duration: '3:49' URLs: - https://casualsunday.bandcamp.com/track/wily-espionage --- Track: Apexhalation Additional Names: - Shave and a Heircut (alternate name) Artists: - Malcolm Brown Duration: '4:44' URLs: - https://casualsunday.bandcamp.com/track/apexhalation Referenced Tracks: - Ballad of Awakening - Lifdoff - Ham And Steak - Doctor - Showtime (Original Mix) Commentary: |- Malcolm Brown: Couldn't end my run on Homestuck without doing one last John/Showtime track! It's an orchestral smorgasbord of Ballad of Awakening, Lifdoff, Showtime and probably something else I've forgotten. Also makes use of Shepard Tones in the middle to give the impression of a constantly rising melody, (or just to sound annoying) Didn't quite make the Volume 10 cut, but presented here for your enjoyment! :D Alternative name: "Shave and a Heircut" --- Track: Sburban Metro Artists: - Veritas Unae Contributors: - Joe Teague (drums) - Erik Scheele (piano) - Timothy Reed (trumpet) - stellamorphine (alto, tenor, and baritone saxophone) - Joe Morley (trombone) Duration: '3:16' URLs: - https://casualsunday.bandcamp.com/track/sburban-metro Referenced Tracks: - Sburban Jungle - Rosanna --- Track: Skaianet 2.0 Artists: - Mark J.

Where to go now,
We have seen the highest peak but there was nothing there, no truth, and how
I'm wandering,
Through all these places,
Lands of Little Cubes & Tea, of Wind and Shade, these null spaces. I've stared at the stars, how they shine verdant dreams,
I've looked through the void, seen it crack at the seams,
I fought every challenge, these Devils and Gods,
They won't know what hit them! ([S]ynchronize) With every BREATH resounding,
([S]ynchronize) We'll see the LIGHT astounding,
([S]ynchronize) TIME keeps our heartbeat pounding,
([S]ynchronize) Now witness SPACE surrounding! I'm still wandering,
In this Cascade,
See this Universe we made, will you remem8er me?
These games we played?
Our plundering;
Boonbucks and Grist,
Prospit and Derse,
In the end we gave them everything, our final verse. I've sang with the muses, dead timelines denied,
I've hunted the wolf and seen planets Collide,
I've witnessed the end of these Gods and their Tiers,
And no one could save them... ([S]ynchronize) See this new LIFE we're founding,
([S]ynchronize) Now with the VOID confounding,
([S]ynchronize) It's all our HEARTs still sounding,
([S]ynchronize) Infinite HOPE abounding! Showtime! [Instrumental] [Bridge: Her Imperilous Constatation] ([S]ynchronize) With every BREATH resounding,
([S]ynchronize) We'll see the LIGHT astounding,
([S]ynchronize) TIME keeps our heartbeat pounding,
([S]ynchronize) Now witness SPACE surrounding! ([S]ynchronize) With every BREATH resounding,
([S]ynchronize) We'll see the LIGHT astounding,
([S]ynchronize) TIME keeps our heartbeat pounding,
([S]ynchronize) Now witness SPACE surrounding! This will be the end!
Come with me and we'll Ascend!
Solving puzzles Universal,
In our Sburban Reversal!
All these Ruins we Explore,
Could it be there's something more?
Pester me, I'm not alone,
I'm just Stuck inside my Home! --- Track: Bane Directory: bane-p-s Always Reference By Directory: true Artists: - Mark J. Hadley Duration: '6:06' URLs: - https://casualsunday.bandcamp.com/track/bane - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsOMrYyBiV8 Referenced Tracks: - track:bane-old Commentary: |- Mark J. Hadley: ([YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsOMrYyBiV8)) This one goes back a long ways. I wrote the first version of Bane back in 2001, originally envisioned as a final boss fight. I really liked the theme, so I made different versions of it over the years, although [[track:bane-old|the last version]] I did was about 13 years ago in 2005. Several times I considered making a new version of it for Homestuck, but I always hesitated. I finally decided to go for it, since this was my last chance. --- Track: Interstellar Directory: interstellar-p-s Always Reference By Directory: true Artists: - Thomas Ferkol Duration: '3:43' URLs: - https://casualsunday.bandcamp.com/track/interstellar --- Track: Bronze Brawling Artists: - Max Wright Duration: '2:44' URLs: - https://casualsunday.bandcamp.com/track/bronze-brawling Referenced Tracks: - Dapper Dueling --- Track: Infinity's Lament Artists: - Veritas Unae Duration: '6:39' URLs: - https://casualsunday.bandcamp.com/track/infinitys-lament Referenced Tracks: - Thunderhead - English - Black Hole / Green Sun - track:glide-lofam4 - Sburban Jungle - track:ruins - Penumbra Phantasm --- Track: A Farewell to Arms Artists: - Catboss Duration: '4:36' URLs: - https://casualsunday.bandcamp.com/track/a-farewell-to-arms - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YT--cfMA4Q Referenced Tracks: - Skies of Skaia - Homestuck Anthem - Theme - Crystalanthemums - The Beginning of Something Really Excellent - Eden - Courser - Infinity Mechanism - Sburban Jungle - Another Jungle - track:frost-vol6 - Heir Conditioning - Endless Climb - Dissension (Original) - Beatdown (Strider Style) - Ohgodwhat - Sarabande - Ballad of Awakening - Upward Movement (Dave Owns) Commentary: |- Catboss: ([YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YT--cfMA4Q)) P[S] is an album of Homestuck music and remixes from the official music team consisting of tracks that were cut from previous albums - most officially [[album:homestuck-vol-10|Vol. 10]], which was trimmed to 25 tracks because [[flash:4109|meme numbers]]. Get it here: Get P[S] here: [casualsunday.bandcamp.com/album/p-s](https://casualsunday.bandcamp.com/album/p-s) Here's my track, A Farewell to Arms, an ode to Homestuck music, and really a thank-you letter to the entire music team itself. I tried to quote something by every member of the team. Might've missed a couple people, but I tried my best. Frankly, without Homestuck music, I wouldn't be making music today. If you liked the music at all, I highly recommend tracking down what music team folks are doing nowadays - many of them could really use the support! (Also it's an arms joke.) --- Track: Moving On Artists: - Robert J!
