[00:04.588]The end of the world.
[00:14.018]Take a piano.
[00:18.425]The keys begin, the keys end.
[00:23.660]You know there are 88 of them and no-one can tell you differently.
[00:28.298]They are not infinite, you are infinite.
[00:34.370]And on those 88 keys the music that you can make is infinite.
[00:40.256]I like that.
[00:42.841]That I can live by.
[00:45.637]But you get me up on that gangway
[00:47.690]and roll out a keyboard with millions of keys,
[00:52.244]and that's the truth, there's no end to them,
[00:57.137]that keyboard is infinite.
[01:00.003]But if that keyboard is infinite there's no music you can play.
[01:05.783]You're sitting on the wrong bench.
[01:09.069]That's God's piano.
[01:14.825]Christ, did you see the streets? There were thousands of them!
[01:18.435]How do you choose just one?
[01:25.361]One woman, one house,
[01:30.932]one piece of land to call your own, one landscape to look at,
[01:35.861]one way to die.
[01:41.754]All that world weighing down on you without you knowing where it ends.
[01:44.980]Aren't you scared of just breaking apart
[01:49.837]just thinking about it, the enormity of living in it?
[01:57.501]I was born on this ship.
[02:03.656]The world passed me by, but two thousand people at a time.
[02:12.977]And there were wishes here,
[02:17.538]but never more than could fit on a ship,
[02:22.104]between prow and stern.
[02:23.758]You played out your happiness on a piano that was not infinite.
[02:28.828]I learned to live that way.
[02:34.568]Land
[02:39.565]is a ship too big for me.
[02:45.550]It's a woman too beautiful.
[02:50.223]It's a voyage too long. Perfume too strong.
[02:56.080]It's music I don't know how to make.
[03:03.580]I can't get off this ship.
[03:09.556] I’m blessed I can step off my life.
[03:16.768]After all, I don’t exist for anyone.
