    This album is the first in a most likely large amount of albums.

    At first, I didn't think that I was capable of doing any music. But after so much time spent on Homestuck (hereby termed H/S) and hearing their own highly lucrative music (still unable to buy them despite having the money :[) {1} I thought, for the first time, that music may be something I can do.

    And in six months this happened.

    Palokrai, like a lot of things I do, will be in two. This is the first. Its serial number, No. 3.{01 ~ 13}.01, indicates its content, songs one to thirteen.

    [[album:palokrai-ii]] will have 13 songs as well, and should be available next June.

    I'll like to thank H/S in general and its constituent musicians for getting me to do this in the first place. I would have never gone this far to do so.

    {1} As funny as this looks, this isn't a semi-open interval. It's a square mouth followed by a parenthesis.

    Inspired by H/S<br>
    Made possible by MuseScore and my unending bathroom composing sessions<br>
    Creation secured by the Pseudoans and their Invention Double Reacharound.

    This album is dated on Bandcamp with a custom release date of 12/23/2010. According to the internal data which Bandcamp makes available in any JavaScript console (`TralbumData.current.publish_date`), the album was actually first published twenty days earlier: 12/03/2010.

    Tracks across this album have custom release dates, which are visible on the track pages on Bandcamp, and reflected here, too. There are some asterisks: see [[track:istojabego]], [[track:cforenso-ii]], [[track:cforenso-iii]]. Also, the final track, [[track:vejisto]], has a notable publish_date, 12/23/2010 - the same as the album's custom release date. (The track is also custom release dated 12/23/2010, and its written lyrics are expressly set on that particular date.)

    All together, this suggests that the album initially had only twelve of its thirteen (main) tracks, and [[track:cforenso-ii]] and [[track:cforenso-iii]] were at the end of the album, the same as bonus tracks typically are. But the tracks still don't self-describe as "bonus tracks", so we're still describing them as just "hidden tracks" here. It's also possible that the album really was published on 12/23/2010 and Bandcamp's internal wires work some way we're not aware, hypothetically e.g. publish_date always recording the earliest publish date, even though an album was un- and later re-published. (That's speculation. We have no record to tell either way, for this album.)

    <i>Quasar Nebula:</i> (wiki editor, 9/16/2025)

    Most of Palokrai's tracks have custom release dates on Bandcamp, which we represent here, despite the tracks within the albums themselves actually being released all or almost all at once. This track is missing a custom release date! However, its lime label fits [[track:maibasojen-lofam|the numbering system]] used across Palokrai: 3.03.02 places it after 3.02.02 ([[track:baptikonyen|the previous track]]) and before 3.04.02 ([[track:saltovahr|the next track]]).

    Unfortunately, since the custom track dates on Bandcamp are the *only* source for these track dates (the numbering system does *not* represent specific dates, and the album was prepared on Bandcamp mostly after its tracks were created), the date used for this track is arbitrary. So... this track has no date at all. Eep!

    Since these two tracks are hidden on Bandcamp and only available as part of the album download, they don't have custom on-site track release dates. However, the artwork for [[track:cforenso]] indicates multiple parts to Cforenso itself, so we're going out on a limb and reusing the date for that track, here.

Lyrics: |-
    <i>Isoraķatheð Zorethan F.:</i> ([artist's lyrics](https://isoraqathedh.bandcamp.com/track/vejisto))

    Intro

    1 December 23rd, December 23rd,<br>
    There was a man inside a giant office building<br>
    Outside a light snow begins falling from the inky pitch black sky,<br>
    December 23rd, it's cold as cold can be.

    2 December 23rd, December 23rd,<br>
    It was a cold uncaring world out in the outside,<br>
    Inside was the same old coldness, yet another different kind,<br>
    December 23rd, what a life to be there.

    Chorus Where is the fairness of this world when you can't ever enjoy yourself,<br>
    Why can't they ever understand your prediactment,<br>
    Your collegues went off to everywhere leaving you all alone,<br>
    December 23rd, how it burns in your heart.

    3 December 23rd, 11:59,<br>
    He's tired and there's still much to do,<br>
    The pile of paperwork goes far beyond his ability,<br>
    He cannot take no more, he leaves without fanfare.

    \[[Chorus]]

    Solo

    \[[Chorus]]

    4 December 24th, December 24th,<br>
    He trudges up the same old giant office building,<br>
    When he got there he found that all his work had disappeared,<br>
    Replaced with a small note, with these words written down.

    5 My dear subordinate, I knew that you worked hard,<br>
    I've decided that you need a break that you deserve,<br>
    So I done all the work for you and now you can go home right now,<br>
    Don't worry about pay, you get it to. Yours, Boss.

    6 December 24th, December 24,<br>
    Maybe the world is not so cruel after all,<br>
    He thought as he drives home for his holiday has now begun,<br>
    December 24th, he's gonna have some fun.

    This is the first time I added any lyrics. Don't get to excited though -- I haven't sang any.
