What Was And Will Be

## Description

**What Was And Will Be** (WWAWB) is a seven-stage, eight and a half hour project by orange191 which is centered around the themes of how memories and experiences change throughout life.

The project is inspired by both Everywhere at the End of Time and The Caretaker's earlier albums, with more emphasis on interpretation as stated in the original Stage 1 upload.

The album's tracks represent memories which become either more distorted or less enthusiastic as time passes, until eventually reaching old age and retirement.

From the second half of stage 5 onwards, the tracks have somewhat long sections of joy or clarity, as well as barren drones and sections of anxiety or dread.

### Description

**Stage 1** is the beginning of recall, when the sky had no limits and the fields were always green. Yet as it is now only a memory, it carries sorrow as well.

## Stage 2

### Description

**Stage 2** now presents the more recent days of youth, carrying a longing to perhaps return to those times, alongside the acceptance that not all lasts forever.

## Stage 3

### Description

**Stage 3** brings about the last times of the past.
The days before life changes forever bring fear and anxiety to varying degrees, as well as sight towards the future instead of what used to be.
It is only a matter of time until the camaraderie comes to a close and a stressful duty of work overtakes all.

## Stage 4

### Description

**Stage 4** gives way into the reality and responsibilities of life. That which was once peaceful has become confused, disoriented, and monotonous. The light at the end of the tunnel and the hope of better days can still be seen, yet it may be more distant than ever before.

### Description

**Stage 5** is the passage of time at its most prominent. Many events and times become washed away in a sea of countless recollections. And although great times may be reached once again, nothing is permanent.
