@@fizpup4829 I know the original was by The Beatles in 1968. The lyrics were slightly changed in this version to change guitar to keytar. It works pretty well honestly.
It’s sad that a lot of these songs (songs that never made it onto albums but are really good) aren’t on Spotify, cause I’d totally put them on my playlist 🥲
This is really one of my favorite songs. This brings back doing hardware development where you are working on a project you're really passionate about, but the past few months if not years of development really seem to have been going backward where you only develop it in the lost state of mind under the fear all your efforts will have been in vain while wondering how your life work, and a part of yourself, has managed to die. Seems oddly specific but that be R&D sometimes.
Also, here is my misheard lyrics of this song after hearing it so many times: ``` I look, at the world, see the love, their not sleeping. While my keytar gently weeps. I look at the floor, and I see, it's not sleeping. Still my keytar, gently weeps. I don't know how, nobody told you How to unfold, I dont know how, somebody killed you They bought and sold you. I look, at the world, and I know, its not turning. While my keytar gently weeps. With every mistake, we must show, we been learning Still my keyrar gently weeps. I don't know how, somebody killed you You were [sounds] I don't know how, somebody killed you How to one told you I look at the world, see the world, their not sleeping While my keytar gently weeps. I look at the world, (at the world) Still my keytar gently weeps. ``
I can't believe someone else relates to this feeling (in my case its a game so, software but whatever), I think what specifically conveys the vibe is the sort of mechanical feel to the repeating chorus, it feels almost like an assembly line, you keep working and working day in and day out, slowly chipping away at the marble, a work of dedication and love, but also a grueling one.
