Uses: Now The Night Is Over And The Dawn Is About To Break
Santa Claus in Holland
Now children, listen to my tale, it's true;
When Santa Claus to Holland
looks 'round for a shoe
He finds it near the chimney, wide
Where you a stocking hang;
And when the house is still and dark
Old Santa, with a bang
Comes tumbling down into the room
Where Hans and Gretchen lie
And looks 'round for the wooden shoes;
As soon as they meet his eye
If Gretchen's words have gentle been
All through the long year past;
If Hans had been a—boy
Then Santa Claus will cast
Into each little wooden shoe with
Knives, marbles, dolls, and toys;
For don't you see, he knows
What pleases girls and boys
But if their words have angry been
With quarrels not a few
Ah, then old Santa leaves a whip
Within each wooden shoe!
So little Hans and Gretchen tr- Hans and Gretchen try
To be so good and kind
So they shall never in their shoes
A whip, on Christmas, find.
The power, and the glory
(Unknown song lyrics)
For Christ, once born in Bethlehem
Is living now and here
(unknown background talking)
News on morning
Good news, O children fair
That Christ came to Bethlehem
A bee!

Uses: Deleted Scenes Forgotten Dreams Part 3
Uses: Past Life Regression
Loss Of Want Back There samples Recollections Of 1861-1865 by Edna White (0:10 - 1:17). It loops 3 times and was taken from the USCB Cylinder Archive, like most songs on this album.
I Might Be Vanishing samples I Guess I Expected Too Much by Wayne King from the album "A One Night Stand With A Pair Of Kings". It is just the part used in I Feel As If I Might Be Vanising unedited. The reason this song exists is cause the sample of the song wasn't found until about 2023, and this album was released in 2019.
Empty Beyond Beyond Beyond samples Blue Is The Night by Chester Gaylord It uses (0:00 - 0:07) and loops 8 times. This song was taken from the Internet Archive.
Losing Battle Of Loss & Losing Loss Of Battle's sample is interesting. It's a slowed down version of Morning Serenade by The Ladies Brass Quartet Of Boston The recording specfically comes from a video uploaded by Youtube user "Jack Stanley". As you can see by cllcking on that link, the video is private. About half a year after the sample was discovered, Jack figured out his song was used and privated the video. The visuals of the video are now lost, but I can personally atest the visuals were a old bookshelf.
Advanced Plaque Camaraderie is one of the layer songs. It uses: Now The Night Is Over And The Dawn Is About To Break, Elusive Sunshine, and an unreleased song (18). For unreleased songs, see the stage 4 and 5 pages.
All Eyes Bewildered samples The Prettiest Little Song Of All by Albert Benzler It uses (0:16 - 2:11) and comes from the USCB Cylinder archive.
Glimpses Of Life Denial samples This Wax Cylinder Recording This song is untitled and uncredited. It was sourced from the USCB Cylinder Archive as Cylinder 12835. The entire thing is used, except 1:02 - 1:20 which is cut out due to using the iconic Lord's Prayer. It is reused in Advanced Plaque Entanglements 1 & Synapse Retrogenesis.
Equinox Eyes Will Stop as well as Minimal All You Are sample The Professor And The Musical Tramp by Len Spencer & Parke Hunter It comes from the cylinder archive. Equinox uses (0:45 - 0:57) while Minimal uses (1:18 - 1:33). Both loop 8 times, and are slowed down by the same amount.
Plaque Advanced Despair is a layer song. It uses Garden Of Weeds & The Revolving Bandstand, both from Selected Memories From The Haunted Ballroom.
Benjamin Beyond Bliss uses The Birth Of The Blues by Layton & Johnstone It loops 4 times and uses (0:00 - 0:05), however loop 3 is extended and uses (0:00 - 0:20). It comes from the Alabamy Bound album so it's an outtake of An Empty Bliss Beyond This World.
Drifting Sublime Hope is the only song to have changes made to it between versions. Both use That Lovely Weekend by Geraldo (0:00 - 1:04) and both loop 3 times. The difference is the regular version is in reverse while the CD version is normal. This song was sourced from the "Hits Of WW2" album, making it an outtake from Persistent Repetition Of Phrases.
Internal Unravel is a layer song. It uses: an unreleased song (30), On The Edge Of Breakdown, & We Have Been Here Before.
Dusk Memory Fraction is simply a slowed down version of Salade Russe by Leonce Bergeret It's from the cylinder archive.
Entanglement Synapse Ache is a layer song. It uses: False Memory Syndrome, Deleted Scenes Forgotten Dreams Part 3, Contemplation, & Mournful Camaraderie.
And Bliss Everywhere Bliss is simply a slowed down version of Solitude Of The Shepardess by the American String Quartet. It comes from the cylinder archive.
An Empty Everywhere is a layer song. It uses: An Autumnal Equinox, Pared Back To The Minimal, an unreleased song (24), and an unreleased song (25).
My Heart Is True samples So Help Me by Russ Morgan (0:00 - 1:15) It loops twice. It's an outtake of An Empty Bliss Beyond This World.
Lonely Way Ahead samples Grand Canyon Suite: Cloudburst by Paul Whiteman (0:02 - 3:37) As you can clearly tell, this song is an outtake of stage 2.
Hidden Minimal Sea is a layer song. It uses: The Great Hidden Sea Of The Unconscious, Past Life Regression, and We'll All Go Riding On A Rainbow (the song from the album of the same name).
Elusive Sunshine is simply a slowed down version of Laura by Charlie Spivak Obviously, this is an outtake of An Empty Bliss Beyond This World.
