Notes

The first two songs were made when I was still exploring genres, playing around. 

"my spark" was a turning point where I could see that this is the sound I want the whole album to have. 

"feel your fire" and "now boarding" were two songs that I had made before my spark but in different genres. So I re-created both of them to fit alongside "my spark."

In this re-creation process, I gave "now boarding" a new twist ending. That was the other big turning point. I felt like this was a missing piece, that I wanted the songs to not all be so basic. Once I realized this, the last four songs I made, all had some sort of twist to them.
