This is
the second release of The Protagonist.
The album code TSSOFAL stands
for "The School Series OF ALbums"
This album code is used in The Protagonist's first three
albums,which are all related to
his memories and experiences in school. (nicknamed
"The Classroom Trilogy")
About the album:
The second album from The Protagonist once again compiled
some dark memories
after the events of the underground classroom. Dark,
haunting and memorable tracks
make up this album that stands out from the rest of The
Protagonist's discography.
These memories are from before, during and after 8th grade
and the story is told
from Eray's perspective as he tries to let go of his dark
past and hopefully move
on to a better future.
This album was also the first to be pressed on vinyl.
Background:
I got inspired
to make this album during a summer vacation on the last week
of our
summer break, which
passed very quickly. The first side of the tracklisting is
full of
haunting ballroom and
dance band songs, because those songs were in a mix I used
to listen to many times
before 8th grade began. The second side of the tracklisting
is
more inspired by The
Shining, featuring the same songs that were playing in the
red
bathroom scene, and dark
ambient tracks to really convey the visible stain of the
past
just like the horrible
events that took place in The Overlook Hotel. The album ends
off
uneasy yet contented
with
"All
is left behind", a sad but calming song which has
reappeared in Removed
scenes / broken dreams' part four segment three. The title
track
"A classroom above
the skies" concludes this story in a peaceful way.
