Good spot, sir!

That tappy jean part was the part that blew me away the most because of how you made a classical music piece and a improvised synchronization of Michael's dance moves with the capability formalizations of the base and fused them into one pinnical luminescence of infinite scope of essence that elevated the originality of the songs message to a whole new level that raises the universal enigmatic connection bar between human capabilities and the inner visual premonition of how music resonates and reflects off of the soul of human intricacies of the human body and how music itself can be utilized as another form of people wide language socialization in multiple adaptations that could be innovated, improvised and insinuated just like in a normal conversation with another person except you have more time to make the person and the other listeners more comprehensive of what your trying to implicate. You expressed how music can truly be innovated and a way to inspire others who want to make their own music. Good music never dies it can only evolve and spread growth to new great songs and music ideas off of the foundation of music that stands the test of time no matter how old it is.
