Originally called '''Mind Control''', it was one of many songs played at Tally Hall's residency shows at Union Hall in February 2009. It was very well received, but considered a complex song. At some point before or after these shows, Andrew Horowitz would record a demo for the song, with him on lead vocals. When asked after a concert about its status, they said "some songs" need to be experienced through studio recording first. By interrogation at the Ithaca show on March 5th, it was revealed that it was recorded in some form, but the title had changed to '''Fate of the Stars'''. | Originally called '''Mind Control''', it was one of many songs played at Tally Hall's residency shows at Union Hall in February 2009.<ref name=FOTSUnion>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v26zg6pRoHg 'Tally Hall - Mind Control (Live at Union Hall, February 26th 2009)' on YouTube.] Uploaded by | ||

The song was recorded at least in November of 2009, being worked on until November 25th. [[Rob]], [[Joe]], and [[Zubin]] recorded some of their vocals in the same room. The song has some early utilization of sampling, using both Zubin's "ooo repertoire" and possibly a sample of Italian castrato singer Alessandro Moreschi singing Ave Maria. | |||
