World's Smallest Violin by AJR, https://t.lickd.co/l/3K7nalxdoWA

For those who want the lyrics:

My (my, my, my) grandpa fought in World War II
He was such a noble dude
I can't even finish school
Missed my mom, and left too soon
His dad was a fireman
Who fought fires so violent
I think I bored my therapist
While playing him my violin

(Oh, my God) that's so insane
(Oh, my God) that′s such a shame
Next to them, my shit don't feel so grand
But I can't help myself from feeling bad
I kinda feel like two things can be sad (one, two, three, four)

The world′s smallest violin
Really needs an audience
So if I do not find somebody soon (that′s right, that's right)
I′ll blow up into smithereens
And spew my tiny symphony
Just let me play my violin for you, you, you, you

My grandpa fought in World War II
And he was such a noble dude
Man, I feel like such a fool
I got so much left to prove
All my friends have vaping friends
They're so good at making friends
I′m so scared of caving in
Is that entertaining yet?

(Oh, my God) that's so insane
(Oh, my God) that′s such a shame
Next to them, my shit don't feel so grand
But I can't help myself from feeling bad
I kinda feel like two things can be sad (one, two, three, four)

The world′s smallest violin
Really needs an audience
So if I do not find somebody soon (that′s right, that's right)
I′ll blow up into smithereens
And spew my tiny symphony
Just let me play my violin for you, you, you, you

Somewhere in the universe
Somewhere someone's got it worse
Wish that made it easier
Wish I didn′t feel the hurt
The world's smallest violin
Really needs an audience
So if I do not find somebody soon

I′ll blow up into smithereens
And spew my tiny symphony
All up and down a city street
While tryna put my mind at ease
Like finishing this melody
This feels like a necessity
So this could be the death of me
Or maybe just a better me

Now, come in with the timpanis
And take a shot of Hennessy
I know I'm not there mentally
But you could be the remedy
So let me play my violin for you

Note: there's a completely unrelated Ava Max song of the same name from her third studio album, Don't Press Play, hence the tag bracket in the song title.

Blacklisted

    If only the fact that other's have or have had worse problems than you could make you feel better about your problems.... but sadly it just doesn't. The song and animation was very good!!!
