About The Album:
This is my improvised musical experimentation after just obtaining a guitar in the summer of 2022 from my friend, Alex, but before I got a better amp and a pedal. There were over 64 tracks that I weeded down to these 18.
As for the name of the album, Alex had an acoustic guitar which I named Fat Man because I was surprised at the size of it and then he let me have the electric guitar, which I named Little Boy. Yes, the names are a reference to the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan, and yes, the album art is Nagasaki with the guitar held directly above ground zero where the bomb Little Boy hit. No offense is meant by this of course, I just had the naming scheme already and thought up this album art and thought it was quite a funny idea.

About Each Track:
01. Robin - Recorded this after playing the Batman theme during my 2022 Batman phase.
02. Doomed Knight - I can't remember why I named it this.
03. Watering Dead - An episode of The Walking Dead is being watched by my parents downstairs. Can you hear it through the vent?
04. Nothings -
05. A Long Road Behind Me - The road I am referring to is the long list of unfinished games I have now finally finished.
06. Playstation 2 - I don't know why I named it this.
07. Waiting For Kingdom Hearts II - Now that my long road is over, it was only a matter of waiting to play the final game on my list.
08. Blood... - A small tune that goes along with the next one.
09. Sweat & Tears - A small tune that goes along with the last one.
10. Twilight Darkness - As the sun sets, the twilight leaves you in a certain shade of darkness.
11. Watch As The Sunset Dies - The sunset dies down gradually and leaves you in darkness. At 32:34, the sunset finally dies, and leaves you in the peaceful darkness of night, where you are gently caressed in the soft light of the moon and the stars.
12. BOOtiful - This tune is beautiful, however something startling interrupts me.
13. Chariot Ride Of The Sun - This is a sequel to "Watch As The Sunset Dies," and is a reference to the stories of Egyptian and Greek mythology where a chariot rider rides the sun around the bottom of the Earth and rises again to sail above it.
14 Eastern Screams - I play some Eastern-esque music and then scream.
15. Bellatrix - The only surviving track named after the stars of Orion.
16. Sixteen - This track had no name, so I gave it the name of the track number it now finds itself at.
17. Beachside Boogie - A surf-esque tune I made.
18. Home Tree - This is a tune I made after rewatching Avatar 1 in preparation to watch Avatar: The Way of the Water.
