Abra moore melancholy love lyrics3/8/2023 ![]() I was literally just learning everything by ear or from YouTube or from the buttons that would literally light up on the keyboard. But as soon as I quit, my dad bought me a light-up Casio keyboard and it felt like absolute freedom. Toward the last couple years of me playing, I definitely felt like I was just doing it to make them happy, even at such a young age. Quitting was really, really difficult because my parents loved hearing me play so much. So let's get back to practicing sheet music.' I just got really bored with it.
