It might just be the feels of the song. But we really take for granted what we are capable of. This song is not just hard. Its insane levels of precision, timing, talent. This musician knows the piano inside and out. The spaces between the keys. He comfortably plays between them while hitting 36 notes in a second. Look at what you can acomplish. We are capable of so much.
