This mellow, more-laid-back-than-usual rock mashup is dedicated to the memory of Scott Weiland, a singer and songwriter best known as the frontman of Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver. Since MTV made me into an alternative rock aficionado in the early '90s, STP has always been one of my favorite bands, and I feel fortunate to have attended a concert by their original lineup in 2002. Sure, STP had a lot of amazing hits over the years, but in my opinion, the most satisfying entries of their discography are their B-sides, such as their 2001 song "Wonderful". Recently, when that song was stuck in my head, I began to notice vague similarities with Ben Folds Five's "Underground" and Genesis' "Throwing It All Away". For songs to work in a mashup, they don't need to have the EXACT same chord progression, and sometimes playing around with differently structured songs can yield surprisingly successful results.

Here's a list of the music sources I used:

Ben Folds Five - Underground
Stone Temple Pilots - Wonderful
Genesis - Throwing It All Away
Wild Arms IV - So Close, Yet So Far Away
Stone Temple Pilots - Atlanta
Tears for Fears - Break It Down Again ("Worldbuilder" Soundmark)
