Official descriptions
The funniest thing a friend said about that album title was, "Huh. That's actually smart".I'm not sure if it is, but I think the title describes the album perfectly to me.
The thought to release this album came in Summer 2010 when I was in Berlin, meeting a lot of old friends. At the last couple of days my mother called me saying that the german government sent me a mail, declining my beg to delay the conscription every healthy german male person had to endure. Because if they would force me to do conscription, I'd lose a stable job and had to do 6 months of work that would have low payments and lead me to nothing at all.
So I was in Berlin, meeting good friends, and Germany just screwed up my holidays.
Paul Veer gifted me this polaroid he did, featuring me, Increpare and a guy that likes to be called Esq.
Looking at the picture I realized how boring this sudden change in my life seemed to be. And thinking more about it I actually thought that if anything, Germany finally went ahead and did the thing I was too scared to do. Getting rid of my boring job as a guy that screwed bolts for some rich monopoly company.
This chapter of my life felt to big to just leave it there, so I decided to collect the music I produced the previous 6 months and put it in a big music album.
At first I released this album for free on Bandcamp, but thanks to Notch of Minecraft fame it got downloaded so often that it probably made quite some terrabytes of traffic on the Bandcamp servers. After that Bandcamp introduced their relatively good payment system, but that also meant I had to put a price tag onto that album.
So with the amount of music in it (about 80 minutes), it's probably the cheapest album I am selling.
Probably too cheap. But I love you, so it'll stay one dollar fooooreeveeeer.—C418, [1]

You may reply "no" by which I would reply "yes"—C418, Bandcamp
“I lack an emotion” was made for a friend’s game—C418, c418.org
Trivia
- Nominated by C418 himself as /r/C418's fourth Song of the Week. This is currently the only track that has been featured by Daniel rather than a fan.
- Also chosen by /u/Dozyjones for the twentieth Song of the Week as she didn't realise it had already been nominated. This means that I lack an emotion is also currently the only track to have been featured more than once.
This song is not good
I can't afford mastering
Words you will never understand
Kitchens are best for making sound effects
Minecraft is acid
I will perhaps never meet you in person
In Berlin people act differently
One second is enough to die for
I can't afford mixing

“Droopy Likes Ricochet” and “Droopy Likes your Face” are both songs from “life changing moments seem minor in pictures”. It’s a song I haven’t created for anything in particular, but the first Droopy song ended up in the first official Minecraft game trailer. I get a lot of questions on what Droopy says. To be fair, I don’t know. It’s a sample library that you receive if you buy Kontakt. As far as I know, it’s a toy you could buy in the 80’s or 90’s which says random phrases about itself.—C418, c418.org
Life changing moments is also the album where Droopy, a song people know from Minecraft, originally came from. I think the reason I added it to Minecraft Alpha is because at the time, the official Minecraft trailer used this song.—C418, c418.org
