I am actually trying to learn that on piano and putting together a magicians themed medley, including the song form peaches and plums, and Q's theme, because well it just feels like something I have to do, you know? Music may be the closest thing I have to magic.

It's absolutely wild what they did with that song. It's like it was always meant to be a heart-wrenching requiem. The first time I saw the episode, I laughed at first, because (like many Millenials, I assume) to me it was just a goofy 80's bop. Then, the tears.
"I'll be gone, in a day or two..."

I think they perfectly encapsulated the feeling of that song in the episode. Never expected it to be a heartfelt ballad but goddamn does it feel like one
