my midnight Beethoven wake-up call

So… it’s 11 PM, and I’m at home watching funny YouTube videos: unwinding, minding my business, vibing. At some point, I fall asleep. Just out.
Then, not long after, I randomly wake up to music playing, and I’m like… wait. What is this? Why does it sound familiar? And why are my ears lowkey clenching to it? Like seriously, this sounds sooo good.
All of a sudden, the vibe shifts from chaotic, carefree entertainment to something serious, solemn, and heart-wrenching. And of course, it’s Beethoven’s Pathétique, Mvt. 2. YouTube really said, “Now here you go… it’s reflection time,” at 12 AM.
Hahaha. The internet and technology can be so humorous. But please y’all — I was NOT emotionally prepared.
