Journal Song

"Journal Song" was a song sung by Marceline in "Marceline's Closet." It was made to be the lead song in a concept album that was based on Marceline's journal. It was a new concept album based on 500 years of her journal entries. She wanted to make this song a part of the most emotional album ever--so private and secret that she'll not let anyone else hear it.

Lyrics
Hello Journal, it's me, it's been a while since we've talked- about my life and stuff. Let's start with my feelings about my friends. Oh, wait, I- don't- have- friends!

There's a whole lot to me I can't reveal because they don't know what it's like to- live- for...ever.... and forget who they even are and

What do you even think about anything? How can- anyone relate to me? When they cannot see what I see- My vampire eyes see... only blood red- skies blood red skies make tears inside that I always hide.

So, I walk alone... in... my...mental home, I can't let on- 

Development
The song was written by Jesse Moynihan, who, with Ako Castuera, also wrote and storyboarded the episode in which it appeared. The song was inspired by composer Louis Andreissen’s piece “De Staat” with a wandering, non-repeating melody. Jesse also wrote an alternate song that was straight pop, but Pendleton Ward liked this song better.
