Hey everyone,
I’ve been listening to "Masterpiece" by Will and the People, and the lyrics available online (and via AI transcription) just don’t seem right to me. It's driving me a bit crazy because what I'm hearing doesn't match what I'm reading.
Every lyrics site lists this specific section like this:
Why do I sing, why do I eat,
why do I take, why do I speak,
why do I fuck, why do I go,
what if I can't, what if I don't,
what if I'm early, what if I'm late,
why do I love, why do I hate?
Stop the time I better go.
To my ears, it sounds like he is saying "What" instead of "Why" in those first three lines (e.g., "What do I sing, what do I eat, what do I take..."). It makes a lot more contextual sense with the transition into "what if" right after, too.
Can anyone with a good ear (or maybe someone who has an official physical lyric booklet) give this a close listen and let me know what you hear?
Thanks in advance!
The band has stopped posting on social media and it doesn't look like they’re on any festival line-ups this summer. Does anyone know what's happened to them?
