Behind the scenes
- I wrote the parody album in July 2014.
- I like to call the parody album Solstice.
- Remarks about my creativity with this album are in Album Story 4: Work in Advance.
- Starting with this album, I made parodying gradual and planned, routinely listening to songs and singing what parody ideas I had over the original lyrics. As a result, I was almost done figuring out what I wanted my parodies to be.
