about

Paper Mario is my favorite game, and I was just thinking of the old days when I played Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door while my mom was translating all the dialogue (I'm Dutch)

The big fluffy lovely blue guy is Arlo (www.youtube.com/channel/UC-9QiiVaViuqMhLp1XEwdxA). Check out his channel for awesome game videos (and everything Paper Mario)! Thanks, Arlo, for allowing me to feature you in my song and video.

lyrics

Sitting in a darkened room with the snow falling outside
Playing Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, my mom and I
We spent the whole winter vacation finishing that game
I look back at that time and wonder whatever happened to that game?

Traveling from Petal Meadows all the way up to the Moon
Traveling with Yoshi, Goombella, Bobbery, Vivian, Madame Flurrie and Koops
We only went downstairs when we had to eat something
I look back at that time and wonder whatever happened to that game?

Zelda gets an open world and a million hours play time
Super Smash Bros gets a thousand characters, alright
But every new Paper Mario since The Thousand Year Door (and okay maybe also Super Paper Mario (the story was good))
Lacks the things my mom and I loved the most, “it’s not my Paper Mario” (I took those words from the sign that Arlo is holding in the thumbnail of his Paper Mario video)

Sitting in a darkened room with the snow falling outside
Playing Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, sitting by myself
I got to chapter 3 before I had to switch it off
I can’t play that game alone, I wish there’d be a real sequel for me to move on with

Everywhere at the end of time
by The Caretaker

This album comes in through your ears (like most music albums) but takes another route than most music. It avoids certain brain cells and somehow reaches a special place somewhere deep inside. Moon Moon Moon
