So that's that's what happens in speech.

The same thing happens in music, you know.

Uh if you think of a sad synchronic the funeral march, dun bum bum dun, you know, it's it sounds it's it sounds so depressing.

But if you speed it up, you know, dan dun dun dun dun dun dun, you know, all of a sudden it sounds like a Jewish wedding song, you know.

So she was singing operatic stuff, you know.

And she would sing it around the house.
