[https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/a5ouhk/comment/ebp43zy/ "The main melody/chord progression for "Dream Sweet in Sea Major," to be as literal as possible, wrote itself; fourteen year-old I was "taking dictation" from the Pacific"] ''Reddit.'' Retrieved 18th May 2024.</ref> The rest of Hawaii: Part II was formed around the song, as Joe mentioned that it was being saved for "a special project" and that it was the "anchor" for the rest of the tunes.<ref>Joe Hawley (wHaleJoey.)
