got fed after midnight.
Preface: The first part of this post is largely about my mood, being unhappy, and what I did about it. And there’s no mention of the music. The first bit is important in that it documents how I ended up with the track I did, but if you just want to read about the production process (and I wouldn’t blame you), you can skip to that section.
