This song is about the modern corporate habit of having virtual meetings. I've been in some of these things with hundreds of people, and they are usually ridiculous wastes of time wherein the company could have just sent an email out and saved lots of money instead of having everyone stop doing productive work and waste an hour listening to the CEO talk some drivel. In this song, the main character gets a crush on one of the coworkers and enjoys the virtual meetings because he can stare at her in a way that one could not do in real life without making someone quite uncomfortable, all the while thinking, "She's so pretty." I bet this sort of thing goes on a lot and is probably one of the few good things about virtual meetings. Musically, the song is vocals, guitar, and drums, though I also made good use of the toy piano mat. I opted not to use the lyrics in the third input part on the recording, but I may throw it in live from time to time. Lyrics are below:
There are 400 people on this call with Zoom,
but only one who makes my heart go boom, boom, boom!
I'm staring at Ruby.
I don't hear a single word the CEO speaks.
I could stare at her beauty for weeks and weeks.
If people knew I was taking this long of a peep,
they're embarrassed by love these days, so they'd probably call me a creep, but I'd still be staring at Ruby.
She'll never see her very own face,
just the reflection that takes its place.
She's got those 21st Century eyes,
and she's got me full of sighs.
She might even be ruthless, but I'm ruthful.
I'll never meet her in person, life can be so cruel, but I'm happy
staring at Ruby.
