I wanted to do a nice album for once. No misery. Here you go.
Here are some track explanations for you.

BELIEVE IN SPRING - It's a somewhat emotional experience for me to cover this song, which was originally composed as an interstitial for the children's TV network Noggin, which became Nick Jr. when I was 7. Remember Moose and Zee? They used to sing this song in March. Well, I grew up with this one, as did many other early 2000s kids - and as I've said before, us early 2000s kids had it good! So I chose this one to open the album. I had lots of fun trying to figure out what the chords of the original song were, only for me to overcomplicate them with their maj7 and add9 variants. This one is for everyone who grew up with Noggin in the 2000s and knows what I'm talking about.
EREYESTERDAY AND OVERMORROW - This song is based on two archaic words which respectively mean "the day before yesterday" and "the day after tomorrow". Nowadays we would just say those, or even "two days ago" or "two days from now", but I say we bring these words back. After all, they look like a lot of fun to whip out during spelling bees or even in normal conversation.
POWDERED CREAMER KIND OF DAY - Relaying the events of October 16, 2023, this song chronicles my wasted time as a potential juror at the Taylor County Courthouse (in the end, the trial didn't go forward and we all got excused) and how I had powdered creamer in my coffee earlier that day. The amazing thing is that all of that happened just before noon.
ERSATZ MY NAME - A song about pseudonyms!
FISH 'N' CHIPS - When I was a kid, I liked going to Long John Silver's and eating their fish and chips. To this day, that good old fashioned combination of beer battered cod with fries soaked in malt vinegar is both a comforting and substantial meal.
I'M JUST SO HAPPY - It says it in the title!
SEEING SARA IN THE SUN - Sara brings in the sun like the summer rain, and she does so extraordinarily well in this love song that she herself sings to Jakob!
DEAR PRUDENCE - I chose another cover to close this album, because The Divine Programmers said that I have to cover the entire White Album if I want my files back. But what a perfect song this is to include! It's a very inspiring and uplifting song that is encouraging of outdoor exploration and this feeling of "Come outside, it's actually quite nice out here". I thought to have my friend Genny sing it because her voice is rather well suited for this song. This is for all of my fellow Beatles fans who get it.
