Lyrics for some of the songs were reused from older [[Tyler Joseph]] songs recorded in 2007 - 2008 during high school. The first verse of the song [[Blasphemy]] was used for the outro of the song [[Anathema]]. Part of the lyrics from [[Just Like Yesterday]] were used with modifications for the song, [[Ode To Sleep]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/twentyonepilots/comments/nedee7/no_phun_intended_everything_we_know_history/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/user/AlexanderPANASONIC/comments/nvnbaa/no_phun_intended_full_history_continued/</ref> | ||
A lot of demo tracks were recorded by ''Tyler Joseph'' and the band in the period 2008 - 2009. ''Joseph'' made a large number of tunes and tracks, but for various reasons some of them were postponed or forgotten.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8DJGPuuIYY&t=1022s</ref> | |||
The first song from Regional at Best was [[Trees]], written by [[Tyler Joseph|Tyler]] in 2008 and recorded in the basement of his house with [[Nick Thomas]] before he met [[Chris Salih]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cokb6XrZQxc&t=10s</ref> The song was never officially released and lay in Tyler's | The first song from Regional at Best was [[Trees]], written by [[Tyler Joseph|Tyler]] in 2008 and recorded in the basement of his house with [[Nick Thomas]] before he met [[Chris Salih]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cokb6XrZQxc&t=10s</ref> The song was never officially released and lay in Tyler's files until 2009 when the band remembered it. They thought it was a perfect fit for the band's repertoire and it was posted for download on the band's MySpace page on [[Trees / Time to Say Goodbye|December 31, 2009]]. | ||
[[Be Concerned]] also one of the first songs | [[Be Concerned]] is also one of the first songs on ''Regional at Best''. On July 23, 2018, a ''Google Drive''<ref>https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1VO4OUYt9Utd5HgR5nFFPMTTchTRCs5p8</ref> was created with a leaked tracklist of Tyler Joseph songs from 2007 - 2009, one of them being [[Be Concerned]]. It was assumed to be a mistake, but some ''Regional at Best'' songs that weren't written in 2008-2009 don't appear on this disc. Since the songs fit with rapper [[Jocef]], with whom Tyler recorded 2 songs together in 2009 such as [[Dollhouse]] and [[Live]], which indirectly confirms the song's old age. | ||

In 2010 Tyler again starts to work a lot on new music at home or with the band in their studio. Thus in March - April 2010 [[Slowtown]] and [[Car Radio]] was recorded. Probably the video in the basement of the band from [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEFzBielBjE&t=1s Live Highlights] is a recording session for new tunes, including this songs. But eventually the band decided that if recording live instruments is too complicated and they will do all new material only on MacBook, and almost all new music was written only by Tyler himself. | In 2010 Tyler again starts to work a lot on new music at home or with the band in their studio.

It became one of the strangest and most unusual song in terms of structure. The song was nameless for a while, and according to Tyler's commentary in [[Vessel (Commentary Version)]], with the help of fans, the name of the song was found - [[Ode To Sleep]]. | ||
