This is the third track from my debut EP, Dissonance, released in February 2020. I figured out that music could be uploaded to FA, so I decided to put all my songs here. The description of this song, taken straight from my website, goes as follows...
This song was first written on my old laptop in LMMS. After I got my new laptop and Mixcraft 8, I manually copied the song over by using the same VSTs and MIDI sequence. Fun fact: my old laptop took like 5 minutes to load this song when at the time all there was to it was 2 instances of Spitfire's LABS. The project file for the LMMS version was called "Minecraft" because I thought it sounded like the song "Biome Fest" from the Minecraft soundtrack. I probably can't legally call this song "Minecraft" though, so I renamed it to "Better or Worse". I feel like I could've given this song a better name. If I recall correctly, the full name during development was "Was It Better or Worse", but I shortened it for whatever reason. I wrote the song while thinking about my really young childhood, and while I recall being a well behaved kid and all my family members say I was well behaved, I still question how much of an asshole I might've been, and chose to forget. So far as I know, these memories didn't exist in the first place and it was just my whacky social paranoia making it up. So now here I am, questioning if everything I remember is a lie and whether or not childhood was actually better than today. When I was younger, I was scared of a TON of stuff, like eels, germs, bugs, needles, anything that lives underwater, being underwater in general, talking to people, being left behind, and much, MUCH more. I know a lot of these sound common, but I was like too scared of these things. Nowadays, I have matured and I have conditioned myself to not be afraid of most of these things anymore, which is definitely better than how I was before. In my middle school years, I was also kind of a smartass. I hated that part of me because it made social interactions with other people seem like I was trying to compete with them over meaningless things like random knowledge. I've also matured and grown out of that, thank goodness. So now we ask: was everything I remember from the past better or worse than everything today? I still don't know the answer to this question, and I don't know if my life will have greater meaning if I find it.
