The Marmalade’s 1970 hit “Reflections of My LIfe” rose above typical radio fodder of its time. Infused with wistful longing, the song managed heart-baring emotion without slipping into the maudlin melodrama common to the era.

The classic 1970 version is below.

Or, as variously described in the viewer comments:

When you’re a death metal drummer, but it’s your little brother’s birthday party.

When you get a PHD in food science but end up working at your local McDonalds

“No matter how hard I try to run from my past, I can’t escape what I truly am.”

This is like hiring Gordon ramsay to make you a slice of toast.

“This suit is not to protect me, but to limit my power”

I can just feel his frustration. Every stroke is harder and angrier than the last. “Is this what my life has come to? All those drum lessons. All those dreams of being a rock god, reduced to… this?”

Plot twist: the cameras turns to the crowd of kindergarteners slam dancing

Teacher: Does anyone here play an instrument? The quiet kid:

Nah, this guy just saw his crush walk into the concert

That drum must had smoked a pack of cigarettes after that

That moment when she says she wants you to dress up in something weird so you can come over and smash…but you misunderstand….

This is like hiring Eminem to sing you a bed time story

When your metal band isn’t making enough money…

When u play the tutorial after finishing the game

Plot twist: He’s not wearing a costume.

This guy had a bowl of nails for breakfast without any milk
