Randy Marsh's Musical Talent Went Over My Head (www.youtube.com)

I just heard the original Kansas version of Carry On My Wayward Son on the radio... I had completely forgotten that the verse was accompanied by piano and not guitar.

As if playing and singing it wasn't enough... Randy either has the music theory to transpose it, the ability to learn it by ear, or the passion to find and learn it for himself.

That has really gotten me thinking about Randy's evolution as a character... and honestly why I made this community. More posts to follow.

It only seems logical that Lorde would have that talent.

Lots of songs are composed on piano, regardless of the final instruments.

Agreed. Though I defs think Randy's musical side was written in long before they had the idea to make him Lorde. Definitely something I'll expand on in my Randy Evolution post.
