+Lyrics:
+    Smoke is all I breathe,<br>is all you hear, is all in me.<br>Taste the drier air.<br>There’s nothing left.
+    Letters fill the empty space.<br>There’s so much space that’s left untouched.<br>Running scares me more than God,<br>but staying can’t sustain.
+    The sparks of fire, earthbound,<br>have found your home. Be gone now.<br>It’s not your fault, you know this.<br>But the leaving is just the same.
+    I feel the wind beneath my arms.<br>It’s warmer now than I recall.<br>Have you heard the news today?<br>They closed the school.
+    You and I have been through this,<br>have been through that, have been at ease.<br>Nothing scares me more than God,<br>and Nothing cannot sustain.
+    The sparks of fire, earthbound,<br>have found your home. Be gone now.<br>It’s not your fault, you know this.<br>But the leaving is still the same.
+    You sent me fire.<br>Fire, I’ll tear my throat out.<br>Burn my blackened lips.<br>You gave me fire.<br>Fire, I’ll tear my heart out.<br>I’d rather tear my heart out.<br>But I can’t stay here.
+    The sparks of fire earthbound<br>have found your home. Be gone now.<br>It’s not your fault, you know this.<br>But you can’t help but turn around.<br>The embers haven’t faded.<br>The love you left, unmade.<br>It’s not your fault, you know this.<br>But the leaving is still the same.

+Lyrics:
+    it’s been a little bit since the last time we all talked<br>so...how are all of you doing?<br>i know that i have been a bit unkind to you all<br>and i’m trying to undo it
+    we thought this ended years ago but it survived<br>i've forgotten far too often why i even recognize these faces<br>that don't have names placed with them<br>inside my hazy brain, but then<br>there's too much to begin to touch on here
+    i’m<br>pulled back<br>once again<br>and i told myself,<br>told myself,<br>told myself<br>i wouldn’t be on this adventure
+    but i’m haunted by<br>all of these memories<br>that i have of four kids<br>and the game they played together
+    i burned the bridges thoroughly but still everyone's trusting me again<br>and i should be relieved but it happened so suddenly<br>and i know in my heart i haven't earned this,<br>but everyone acts like my concern isn't a problem<br>like nothing is wrong with my very involvement
+    but i know how the song ends
+    i can’t begin to list the times that i’ve walked<br>along this road and concluded<br>that nothing that i’ve done here will make sense, in the end<br>but i find that kind of soothing

 Commentary:
     <i>Mark Hadley:</i>
-    Plazmataz came up with a melody to use as an anthem for Homestuck, which he then used in Homestuck Anthem. While that was a very driving melody, I opted to come up with something that might be more suitable for credits (opening or end) or a title screen. I really like how this came out; it sounds a bit moody, but still optimistic, which is what I was aiming for.

     This piece has a bit of back story that I made up and I suppose I might've been more than a little self-indulgent here with my otp, but it's what the song made me think of. So the idea is that Dirk and Jake are adventuring together on lomax with Sawtooth and Squarewave (who are providing the hip hop backdrop). I imagine Dirk would be very controlling during tomb raids and such, taking the leader role, or at least being manipulative in some way. I think this would really make Jake feel uncomfortable and.... (wait for it) uncertain about his feelings towards Dirk. I think the song's vibe really matches this as well with the cool electronic instrumentation (Dirk) and the walk around looping anxiousness of it (Jack and his adventuring).

+Commentary:
+    <i>James Roach:</i>
+    this track presented a unique problem in that i didn't want to write it at the time. I had written a really somber and melancholic track for the area outside the hive (the farm in the concept art) and changing it into something a little goofier and weird presented a unique difficulty for me. I just didn't know what to do for the first time in like actual YEARS i had no idea where to even start. I kept at it for a very long time and eventually just muscled through it with sheer force of will. People often ask me the hardest track or my least favorite to work on. it was this one. silver lining: its also become one of my favorites. i love how it came out. thats the power of determination. did you know you can't say determination anymore.
+    this was written for, yes, the fabled beekeeper troll that nobody will talk about. its become some sort of myth as to what happened to her but the truth isn't that exciting. in early hiveswap days each member of the crew got to "pick" a character that they could choose one design element of. The person who picked beekeeper just had a fantroll based off of herself. they also just... drew micro/macro porn of themselves? a power move, honestly. I met them in person and they offered me weed within literal minutes of meeting so i mean i guess they seemed nice. when they no longer worked for the company it was just simpler to redesign the character than deal with literally any of that. mystewy sowved :)
+    at the point in production where they were figuring out names/personalities/traits they kinda thrust this one on me because it "would make the most people angry." beekeeper troll was beloved by a very specific kind of horny dude. you know the kind that regularly says "lewds" or w/e. nothin wrong with that i guess. chase your bliss. but in an effort by my SO CALLED FRIENDS to antagonize me, they were like "heh h h e h he e e he h what if we make this cute girl character that hornyboys love into a dumpy little round dude and then say we based him off james who they already do not like."
+    thanks guys.
+    anyway zebede's bullet points and even his name are references to me but thats kinda where it ends. st. james son of zebedee is also known as santiago, which is my birthname. the tongva were "maybe" the indigenous people of long beach, where i live, which is "too far to visit" which is a joke about The Greater Los Angeles Area. I live 20 minutes away. cowards.

+    <i>James Roach:</i>
+    SO! PesterQuest is out. We've been sitting on this one for a while. This first route has been done for a while. It was supposed to come out back on 6/12 but our new publisher had us sit on it for reasons that are beyond even me. Anyway, big ups to Malcolm and Mark for letting me use their themes.
+    I don't know if I'll have as much time or energy to do the tracks for pesterquest like i did for friendsim since i got a new job. I will try my best.

+Commentary:
+    <i>James Roach:</i>
+    I wasn't certain how to approach this one. I knew if I was going to use the theme from endless climb it wouldn't feel right accepting any money for it. These things don't exactly pay well to begin with tbh, so i thought I would use the platform i've been given to try and do something... even a little positive.
+    at first the song was just going to be called "play the rain" because naming it something stupid, while keeping up with tradition, seemed like it would be in bad taste. at some point while i was working on it i started looking into various charities i could donate the proceeds to, and it hit me that i could just ask to make the title in the credits a link to the charity.
+    suicide is something that is hard for me to talk about. its very personal. i tend to internalize feelings in order not to.. bother anyone. a few months ago i called a suicide hotline when i hit a really low point and i think just the act of calling made me feel... in charge somehow? feelings are fucked up. don't be afraid to talk to someone. even if it is a stranger at the other end of a call. take that step. you're not bad for feeling that way.
+    so anyway. endless climb was one of the very first homestuck songs that really drew me in, and doing a cover of it all those years ago really got me back into taking composition seriously. it could easily be argued that this song changed my life for the better.
+    if you want to know more about the trevor project, or just suicide prevention in general visit <a href="https://www.thetrevorproject.org/">thetrevorproject.org</a>

+    <i>James Roach:</i>
+    jades theme! wow we've really come a long way huh fellas?
+    i always really liked carefree victory and its really one of the only songs that felt like uniquely hers. towards the end i try and do something that like... every homestuck musician i think tries at least once: getting all 4 of the kid's instruments to play something nice together. i think i did alright, i subbed in beatboxing for daves turntables cause its not like you can just carry those anywhere. i guess as opposed to johns piano?? LMAO
+    musically i have jade start on bass, and as more of her friends come in she gets a little more confident in her basslines. anyway thats my fanfic.
+    this is the last new piece i'll be doing for the forseeable future, or until i feel like doing another one which might be immediately. ive been doing this on a largely volunteer basis for a while since the budget constraints were tight and we need to pay the bg and sprite artists a reasonable amount. I wanted all four kids to have music by me and i think we'll be digging into the homestuck archive for other stuff.
+    anyway i hope you've enjoyed the ride! its been a little bittersweet at times for me but i'll miss posting new stuff every two weeks.
