    The wonder of this song is in his harmonious musical theme.Could be played endlessly. Somehow this song resembles the Bolero of Ravel : also theme that can be played endlessly. The beauty of the simplicity.Thank you for the interpretation. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤

      @@cuvpa1009 I'm sick of being abused by people who are supposed to love me. I was abandonded by my mother a child. Father neglected me till I was 15, and then I was on my own. Over 20 yrs of Christmas and birthdays alone.
      I can get girls. But, in the end, no matter how hot, ugly, rich or poor. Most don't seem to be real people. I think most are just children, or sociopaths. All they care about is what you can do for them. I was injured years ago. Most wouldn't know it. I look muscular and tall. But, I can't stand up straight, am in horrible pain, can't reach natural REM sleep, and there's no help in sight.
      If I was female. I there would be a ton of govt programs to help me. especially if I was a mother.
      I'm just looking for dumpsters right now. It's hard to find one that's unlocked at night. I'll just OD on insulin in there, listening to this on an old phone that can't be traced. No one will notice I'm gone for a couple days. Only when my "gf" comes to see why I'm not responding to her demands, will she notice I'm not here. Then I'll just be a missing person forever. No nasty cleanup. No funeral. Not that anyone would come. I don't have family.
      I might do a fan meet and greet before I go. See people who liked a stupid movie I did 10 years ago.
      But, no one will be hurt by my disappearance. My dogs, but that is it. They can live on an old friend's farm. Her father is a vet.
