    This song was basically made out of my love for the Alpha kids planets, this one in particular was supposed to be a kinda chill theme for the Land of Tombs and Krypton. The version you hear on the album took several hours as I was very critical and indecisive about what I was writing. In the end I'm proud of what's here but one day I'd like to [[track:miasmic-resurrection|revisit the song]] and hopefully fix the parts I was super unsure about.

    This was initially going to be a recreation, utilizing the Secret of Mana soundfont used in the original song. I decided to try out some of the same instruments used in [[track:stronger-monsters]] (from [[album:undertale-soundtrack|Undertale]]) as well, which at that point I thought "what the heck, let's just make a full-on remix of this". Fun fact: I was initially following along [[artist:pascal-van-den-bos|PotatoBoss]]' [Versus recreation video on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYfZBrReslY), before I knew who he was.

    ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO...

    his name

Commentary: |-
    <i>Pascal van den Bos:</i> (composer, booklet commentary)
    
    I made this song as a birthday gift to [[artist:rowyn-berlan|TimelessHeir]], i wanted to kind of parody [[album:the-baby-is-you|"The Baby is You"]] since we had just finished ["The Baby is STLaP2"](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqi0iMdsva_wMBDC1dZgYmg--sJgtXtmG) and it seemed funny to me to make that for them. The only song I referenced was [[track:miasmic-decay|"Miasmic Decay"]] because Timeless made it and that would make the song still fit in the album because it's still a remix of a song in the album. Also DVS-Saxophone is the best instrument, change my mind.

    So this was made back when [[album:alternate-hues-and-melodies|AHaM]] was being made, pretty close to it being released the guy who was making the Sollux song didn't finish it for reasons I can't be bothered remembering, and since the position for the Sollux song was open I was like "damn I wanna do the Sollux song because Sollux is cool". So I made the first melody you hear in Distortion Navigator, but before I could do anymore we had to release the album like right then and there, so I didn't get to finish it. Then I just turned it int othe full Sollux song I wanted back then and released it here on STLaP 2 instead.

    A requiem for those not lucky enough to surv<\i<\e Sburb. One cannot keep a gentle touch and sur<\i<\e. Rebirth, vvwithout elegance. They must steel themsel<\es, and knovv vvhat to do; vvhy to do it. True is resol<\e. After all, the game is young. R.E.T.R.Y. GAME.
    
    The length is actually a bit of an accident on my end. Sometimes there are just so many inter<\als and melodies that need their part, and each one of those need *some* kind of transition. Not sure if it shovvs or not, but this is certainly the track I vvorked hardest on, and ironically I made my longest track at a point vvhere vve had no more room on the album!

    I remember like thinking that [my Mutiny remix](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3znbbnDOChY) could be totally better, so like I only made this a while after that was uploaded (that's why it sounds so much like my old stuff). I didn't even plan for the song to be said remix, I was just bored in FL Studio and placed down the [[track:mutiny]] melody in there and somehow just kept going until it turned into a full song. I was gonna put it in [[album:stable-time-loops-and-paradoxes|STLaP 1]], but then didn't because there was already a [[track:fetch-the-bullet|Mutiny remix]], so first chance I got I dunked it into STLaP 2.

    This song has a special place in my heart because it my first homestuck remix. I started this song months before I joined [[group:the-paradox-music-team|the PMT]] and I remember doing it out of boredom. I wanted to make remix a song the no one had done before, so I decided to remix the first half of the unreleased song [[track:jadesprite|"Jadesprite."]] The original demo of the song was like 30 seconds long and wasn't very good imo. Joining the team gave me the impetus I needed to expand upon my original demo and finish the song. Of my remixes, this one is probably my favorite.

    Wish Upon a Firefly was made right after [[artist:buzinkai|Usagi Buzinkai]] unfortunately passed away, i wanted to make a tribute song and there was no better track than [[track:doctor]]. I tried making it a more upbeat hero version of Doctor. In my opinion i could never get doctor right whenever i tried remixing it but this definitely worked out well.

    I was enthusiastically approached by [[artist:pascal-van-den-bos|PotatoBoss]] a couple years ago to make music for his projects... About ten days ago (lol) I said, "OK, let's go4it!" and gave it a shot. The result is something I have put off, like getting back into music. Thanks PotatoBoss, he's rad and a gracious manager to a [[group:the-paradox-music-team|bright group of musicians and artists]] I've been welcomed to create with. Homestuck takes me back and the ones who still love it pushed me forward <\3.

    This song's commentary is going to get a little serious. After doing [[track:spritely-gardener]], I wanted to do another song for the album. I had a bunch of stuff started but I just never had the energy to finish them. One of the ideas was a massive multi movement homestuck medley referencing all the beta kids' land theme. But like the other WIPs, I couldn't bring myself to work on it more. This went on until some time in early November. In November, I learned that [[artist:buzinkai|[Usagi] Buzinkai]], Creator of homestuck songs like [[track:doctor|"Doctor"]] and [[track:endless-climb|"Endless Climb"]], had passed away. I was felt a profound sense of grief at her death. Some time passed, and I wanted to do something to commemorate her memory. So I decided to give my old project file another shot and that how "A Happy Ending" was created. I wanted to create something that embodied how much Homestuck and it's musicians meant to me. Is it perfect? No, it has a lot of issues and is overly long (Sorry [[artist:pascal-van-den-bos|Pb]]). But I think it is something conveys the monumental impact that homestuck had on my life.

    So [[artist:rowyn-berlan|Rowyn(TimelessHeir)]] texts me at 1am asking me to [dub part of the first episode](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vk9MdEWLvHw) of [[artist:yu-gi-oh|Yu-Gi-Oh]] with them and [[artist:beau-brian|Beau(plasticSaturnia)]]. I of course say yes B) So we recorded it and i asked Rowyn if we needed a song for the background music, they said yes so i decided to remix [[track:passionate-duelists|Passionate Duelist]] from Yu-Gi-Oh. I tried to make it some sort of F-Zero GX style track.... So yeah a shitpost that's what this is.
