      @TooFarJohn my point is that most people work much harder than this for $1k.
      I'd certainly say that the overnight Target employee stocking shelves for 40 hours a week earns his $750 every 2 weeks much more than he earned that $1k for that song.
      It was really cool, he's really talented, but let's not overvalue stuff.
      Even for specialized labor, $1k is like 10 hours of work.

    I never comment, but I just need to get this off my chest. Months ago this video came up in my recommended, and I clicked on it for a good laugh. What I didn't expect was to experience one of the greatest displays of talent I've ever seen. Truthfully, that day, I was super depressed and suicidal; that's why I wanted a laugh. But this video moved me to tears. I cried over a cat piano. But its because a silly prompt was taken and turned into something beautiful. It not only showed me just how amazing music is, but how amazing people are. So now, whenever I'm having a hard day, I come back to this video to remind me of the beauty of life and the power we all possess to create. So I doubt the creator will see this, but I hope he knows he's changing lives. And I just want someone to know and understand just how much this stupid cat piano video means to me. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

    I’m a beginner pianist, as in i’ve been doing it for half a year. The song i’m learning right now is this one, but basically only the first part as played on the cat piano and then even simpler. Yet somehow i felt weirdly proud of myself for being able to probably immitate what this guy does on the silly cat piano. Thanks for that.
    I hope one day i’ll get good enough to play it like he did on the normal piano

    Fun story: back when I was a street performer many years ago, I happened to be absolutely butchering this song (voice was shot, end of a 4 hour set, and I was struggling to hit notes, excuses excuses lol) and who walks by but Chris Martin. He did the right thing given how bad I was singing which was to hide his face and hustle away. I suspect he would not have the same reaction if he heard this masterpiece.

He says it was the most confusing moment of his life.

  • @LaszloPalfi

    For anyone wondering, this song is an interpretation of King Louis XVI's lost final speech before his death following the French Revolution. It's written from Louis' point of view as he apologizes to his people and accepts his demise. For some background, Louis was imprisoned and publicly executed by his own people following his downfall. When he was marched to the guillotine for execution he attempted to give one last speech to his people before his death, but the French revolutionists booed and the executioner's drums were played louder to drown out the sounds of his words. As so, before Louis could finish his speech he was forced into the guillotine and beheaded, his final words now lost forever.
    I used to rule the world
    Seas would rise when I gave the word
    Now in the morning, I sleep alone
    Sweep the streets I used to own
    I used to roll the dice
    Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
    Listen as the crowd would sing
    Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!
    One minute I held the key
    Next the walls were closed on me
    And I discovered that my castles stand
    Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
    I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
    Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
    Be my mirror, my sword and shield
    My missionaries in a foreign field
    For some reason I can't explain
    Once you go there was never, never a honest word
    And that was when I ruled the world
    It was a wicked and wild wind
    Blew down the doors to let me in
    Shattered windows and the sound of drums
    People couldn't believe what I'd become
    Revolutionaries wait
    For my head on a silver plate
    Just a puppet on a lonely string
    Oh, who would ever want to be king?
    I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
    Roman Calvary choirs are singing
    Be my mirror, my sword and shield
    My missionaries in a foreign field
    For some reason I can't explain
    I know Saint Peter won't call my name
    Never an honest word
    But that was when I ruled the world
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
    Roman Calvary choirs are singing
    Be my mirror, my sword and shield
    My missionaries in a foreign field
    For some reason I can't explain
    I know Saint Peter won't call my name
    Never an honest word
    But that was when I ruled the world
