    (Second draft) *Snotty academic voice* -
    This arrangement of John Lennon's 'Imagine', by an assortment of celebrities, uses a lack of tempo to reflect the uncertainty that the general population felt during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. In addition, the inconsistent rising and falling of keys are symbolic of the statistics during the outbreak. Starting in the key of C and traversing through a variety of keys, we are taken on this journey, and the return to the home key at the cadence of this rendition, represents the human desire for stability and hope.
    ---------
    One can also feel the push and pull between the governments and the people in the rubato, and brief tempo, as the populace become uneasy about being locked down, striving for the freedom that they believe they are entitled to.
    In conclusion, this rendition truly reflects the time and context of its production, and dare I say it is certainly an experimental endeavour.

      LivelyEngineer Gaming they earned their money from those people going to support them, the least they can do is give back to the community they rose out of. And anyway, it is the responsibility of the more financially secure to help those who aren’t. It is unempathetic and unsympathetic to do otherwise

      It's the "home" note of a song. Pieces of music mostly have a note/chord they are drawn to resolve toward. That is the key of a song.
      There are also modes, too. Major and minor keys are modes, but there are others as well. For instance, you could have C Ionian (Major), Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian (Minor), and Locrian. All these scales start on C but have a different sequence of notes that they follow to get up to the next C.
