Someone might have thought it was so obvious that it didn’t need stating and would just ruin the joke. Alternatively, someone who was somehow unaware of the song and assumed that would be the case for nearly everyone else might have overconfidently decided it was a stretch without looking at the first line of the song.
I don’t know why this song makes me cry every time I hear it. Something about it gets me right in the soul. Also I didn’t know the artist or song name so thanks for the link, that is a beautiful video; I haven’t seen it before and after a bit of an emotionally taxing day I got a happy cry and I feel a lot lighter inside
Aww I’m super glad to hear it improved your day, and you’ll be able to find it again in the future!
I get the same reaction to it, I think it’s the use of flat melancholic notes scattered throughout, such as in the refrain “I’d like to make myself believe, that planet earth turns slowly”. For me anyway. I love that sort of upbeat but sorrowful sort of thing. It gives me intense frisson (aka aesthetic shiver, aka that chill down your spine when something hits just right).
Pretty sure that line is a reference to this. One of my fave songs :)
Owl City - Fireflies
Thanks, me and all the old people thought it was The Doors. https://youtu.be/7G2-FPlvY58
It is definitely a reference and I don’t know why you got downvoted for that lol.
Someone just jelly of my amazing taste in nearly-20-year-old music, probably 😊

I don’t think that a single downvote is worth paying attention to.
maybe because anyone who has played Need For Speed instantly thinks of this song instead.

The sound of silence covered by Pentatonix also gives me mad frisson every time I hear it. And for the same reason I think.
