Your friend's band is playing a gig at a local venue. You step outside for a smoke [[break]].
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/smopedoker%20riff.mp3" loop autoplay>Rain patters [[gently]] on your window.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/cowboy%20beatbop.mp3" loop autoplay>Your mind is [[clear]], your breathing is automatic. You slowly feel yourself drift off into a dreamless, restful [[sleep]].
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/cowboy%20bebop%20loop.mp3" loop autoplay>The [[gentle]] crackle of a warm fireplace envelopes you. You are at [[peace]].
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/earthbound%20soundfont%20loop%201.mp3" loop autoplay>It is a Sunday [[night]]. The world is still, yet you do not feel at ease. You're trying your best to [[reconcile]].
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/earthbound%20soundfont%20loop%2010.mp3" loop autoplay>You are [[anxious]]. No matter how hard you try, it is impossible for you to sit still. Your nails are bitten stubs. Your lips are chewed, yet dead skin still lingers.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/earthbound%20soundfont%20loop%2011.mp3" loop autoplay>You are meditating. Your breathing slowly stalls. Negative and intrusive thoughts come to you regularly; you allow them to [[wash]] over you before letting each one go. Positive thoughts come, too; you hold onto them tightly before clearing your mind completely.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/earthbound%20soundfont%20loop%2012.mp3" loop autoplay>It is late. You are [[driving]] on the freeway. You're only a few minutes away from [[home]].
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/earthbound%20soundfont%20loop%2013.mp3" loop autoplay>You are [[late]] to work. You quickly get dressed and leave.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/earthbound%20soundfont%20loop%2014.mp3" loop autoplay>You feel like [[dancing]]. You don't care if anyone sees. You feel like the greatest dancer in the world. Your living room is now a ballroom, and you a ballerina. You perform every dance you know until you collapse, exhausted, onto your sofa.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/earthbound%20soundfont%20loop%2015.mp3" loop autoplay>You are getting dressed. Today, you wear black. It is the day of a funeral, for a family member whom you were close with, who passed away recently, unexpectedly. You look nice. You feel like [[shit]]. It feels like this happens all too often nowadays. When was the last time you wore these clothes? Was it last year, or the one before?
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/earthbound%20soundfont%20loop%2016.mp3" loop autoplay>You hear a low mechanical whirring. It is discordant, yet rhythmic and [[familiar]]. You feel comforted anew by each repetition. You try to identify the [[sound]], yet you cannot place it.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/earthbound%20soundfont%20loop%2017.mp3" loop autoplay>It is a new day. You squint into the sunlight while your eyes adjust to its brightness. It feels brighter today, than the rest of the other days. The grass feels greener, as well. Maybe you are just more [[alive]].
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/earthbound%20soundfont%20loop%2018.mp3" loop autoplay>You hear a child [[singing]]. Although you cannot make out any of the words, their tone is blissful and carefree. It reminds you of when you, yourself, were young. You feel old now, yet wiser. You wonder what the world will be like when the child is your age. You selfishly hope it stays the same.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/earthbound%20soundfont%20loop%2019.mp3" loop autoplay>You are driving through the countryside. You take mental notes of each crop, animal, building, sign you see. After a while, it all begins to feel similar. You are [[comforted]]. You hope you are able to retire here. You hope you are able to retire.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/earthbound%20soundfont%20loop%202.mp3" loop autoplay>You feel dizzy, and [[sick]] to your stomach. Your body is screaming at you. Something is wrong, but you don't know what.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/earthbound%20soundfont%20loop%2020.mp3" loop autoplay>You hear a gentle violin [[melody]], or is it a viola? It is strained, yet certain and beautiful. Is the performer a master, or is this their first [[performance]]? You cannot tell. You feel [[peace]].
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/earthbound%20soundfont%20loop%2021.mp3" loop autoplay>You hear a human voice [[singing]] in the distance. It appears to be coming closer. You do not recognize it immediately. You do not know whether to feel [[comforted]] or threatened.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/earthbound%20soundfont%20loop%2022.mp3" loop autoplay>You feel a sense of accomplishment and pride. You were on a journey which has now come to an end. Wherever you were before, you are certainly in the right place now.
Never be afraid to [[begin]] again.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/earthbound%20soundfont%20loop%2023.mp3" loop autoplay>You feel melancholy and bittersweet. You are a whirling hurricane of [[emotion]].
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/soundfont%20loop%2024%20mixdown.mp3" loop autoplay>An anachronistic [[melody]] fills the ballroom. This [[music]] hasn't been popular since years before you were born, and you don't know how to dance to it. You try your best, but you feel awkward. Looking around, you realize you are alone. Why do you feel awkward, if you are alone? No one is around to witness your shame, so why does it still feel like a [[performance]]?
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/earthbound%20soundfont%20loop%203.mp3" loop autoplay>You feel [[paranoid]], as if a ghostly presence is at your back. Every time you turn around, you feel a shiver follow down your spine. You are not alone.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/earthbound%20soundfont%20loop%204.mp3" loop autoplay>You hold your newborn baby delicately in your hands. You swear to yourself that you will protect it, putting its [[life]] before your own. You reminisce on every kindness you have known. Your [[child]] will live a long and [[happy]] [[life]].
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/earthbound%20soundfont%20loop%205.mp3" loop autoplay>You remove your shoes, and then your socks. You had a long day of [[work]], and you are [[happy]] to finally be back home. You [[relax]] into bed. You feel [[safe]].
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/earthbound%20soundfont%20loop%206.mp3" loop autoplay>You [[awake]] in a cold sweat. It appears as though you were having a [[nightmare]], but you cannot remember any details. You go back to [[sleep]], but [[awake]] several more times throughout the [[night]]. It's the same [[nightmare]] every time, but you never remember what it's about. As day breaks, you doze off and finally achieve a restful [[sleep]]. When you finally [[awake]], it's later than you would have liked, but you feel at [[peace]] nevertheless.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/earthbound%20soundfont%20loop%207.mp3" loop autoplay>You [[awake]] in an unfamiliar environment. All that you can see is metal. In the distance, you hear chatter in a language which you don't recognize. Although you can't understand their voices, you instinctively know that they are talking about you. You feel [[fear]].
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/soundfont%20loop%208%20mixdown.mp3" loop autoplay>You awake to thunder. Outside, you hear coyotes holler. Unlike their usual braggodocious howls, however, these coyotes are yelping in [[fear]]. You realize that what you thought to be thunder is actually footsteps.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/soundfont%20loop%209%20mixdown.mp3" loop autoplay>You hear the slow hiss of gas being released from a tank. Above you is a radiant [[night]] sky filled with colors. You wipe your eyes in disbelief, only to have your hands hit glass before you can feel your face. The steady hiss of gas is coming from an oxygen tank right by your side. How did you get here? You cannot recall.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/ethereal%20doom%20loop.mp3" loop autoplay>A repetitive siren sounds in the distance. You feel as though you should know what it means, but you are ignorant. You no longer feel able to [[relax]].
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/ethereal%20loops%201.mp3" loop autoplay>You turn on your personal computer, and hear its familiar loading jingle. You feel [[comforted]] by its harmonic musings.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/ethereal%20loops%202.mp3" loop autoplay>You feel happy. You savor the moment, holding onto each passing second until your ecstatic joy passes into a calm contentedness. You will carry this moment with you for months to come. Keep it [[safe]].
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/ethereal%20loops%203.mp3" loop autoplay>You are in the children's hospital, visiting with a family friend whose [[child]] is recovering from surgery. By their bed is a small [[music]] box with a spinning ballerina on top, [[dancing]] steadily to a forlorn tune.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/lullaby%20for%20a%20sick%20child%20.mp3" loop autoplay>Your home country has just joined an international conflict, and there is a new draft being instituted to enlist [[young people]] into the army. Every day you come [[home]], praying that there will be no letter in the mail mandating you to ship off to war, never to return. You disike thinking about how quickly your life might change. There is no easy way out. You long for [[gentle]]r times.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/peacewalker%20loops.mp3" loop autoplay>You are relaxing at [[home]], listening to one of your favorite records on the phonograph. It is warped from repeated listenings, but you still like it just as much as the first day you heard it. At this point, you are familiar with every tiny pop, crackle, and skip this record has to offer you. You welcome each new imperfection; it makes you feel as though you are rediscovering the song anew, every time.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/piano%20loops%201.mp3" loop autoplay>It's jazz night at your local speakeasy. You love live [[music]], and there's absolutely nothing else like it in your area. You snuck in a tape recorder so you can record the show. You will relive this night for the rest of your [[life]].

<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/random%20loop%201.mp3" loop autoplay>A [[haunting]] [[melody]] fills your ears. It feels familiar, yet you cannot place where you might have heard it before. You feel the need to [[run]] far away, as fast as you can.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/sonic%20exe%20loops.mp3" loop autoplay>The [[sound]] of [[music]] fills your ears. You hear a voice [[gently]] [[singing]], but you are unable to place it.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/savage%20garden%20loop%20mixdown.mp3" loop autoplay>A voice [[gently]] calls out to you from your [[home]] computer, beckoning you to join it. You are hesitant, yet its siren call is impossibly alluring. You shed your physical form and join the wired.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/emu%20mixdown.mp3" loop autoplay>A family member has been showing early signs of dementia. You reminisce on all of the wonderful times you have had together; it pains you to realize how those memories will fade. Long [[goodbye]]s are the hardest.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/unhealing%20loop%202.mp3" loop autoplay>[[Nature]] surrounds you from all sides. You are [[comforted]] by the Earth's warm, loving embrace. You are in harmony with the natural world. You feel that you are close to [[the end]], and you are at [[peace]] with that.
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/ambience%201%20mixdown.mp3" loop autoplay>All is right. Nothing will ever be wrong in the world again. Concepts such as right and wrong are now antiquated, and will soon exit your mind permanently. You [[relax]] into a field, and you feel at [[peace]]. You feel that you are close to [[the end]].
<audio src="https://pizzafarce.neocities.org/music/ambience%202%20mixdown.mp3" loop autoplay>You cry until your eyes hold no more tears, thankful that no one is around to hear you sob. You [[fear]] being alone, and saying [[goodbye]] to the ones you love.
