Marco 0 (2020)

This song was from a much earlier version of my album Popstar's Revenge. I recorded and produced it mainly in 2019 and finished in 2020. I was still experimenting a lot with production and developing my ear. I didn't end up using it (or reworking it) for the album mostly because it came from a time when I was writing about fantasy scenarios instead of real experiences. The lyrics are eerily similar to what became my reality, but in the end I felt like I had much more specific and vivid feelings to write about for the album. Songs like Deluxe or Caramel Recipe feel like the 2.0 versions of this song tbh.

Diving Way Too Deep (2020)

This is another lost track from the very early stages of my album Popstar's Revenge. It's an odd one haha, kinda goes all over the place, but it's special to me because it's about deciding to finally come out when I was 21. The sad little acoustic pieces in the beginning and end are actually from 2018, but most of the track was from 2019-2020. I kept adding new verses, new chorus ideas, new production ideas as my life continued to change (pre-coming out to post-coming out). The song ended up being a little too jumbled and strange to rework for the final 2025 version of the album, but it was a special moment for me to capture. I hadn't listened to this song in years LOL and some parts are like......what were you thinking??? haha, but I love how much it meant to me at the time.

Will I Still Dream? (2020)

This song was aaaaalmost completed fully in 2020, but I tweaked the production and I think re-recorded like one line at the end of 2023 as I was gearing up to finally dive into my Popstar's Revenge album the next year. Btw this old cover art I made says "New Years" instead of "New Year's" ...... anyways... : )
