    The absolute shock to my system that "I'm getting worse" hit me with genuinely took me off-guard. I think this song perfectly encapsulates the road to recovery with how low moments can still hit you out of nowhere and they hit hard, but you can still keep going forward.

      @@Maube Perfect Pitch is an unobtainable to-be-born-with skill, that allows you to simply know what notes are what without reference. For example, if someone played a B, this person could correctly identify it with no mishaps. Perfect Pitch does not correlate with the ability to identify whether a chord is in major, or minor. Musicians generally can decipher what is a major chord, and what is not, along with other more diverse chords, such as a diminished chord, or an augmented chord.
