When Kubo Met Sach: While My Guitar Gently Weeps

I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping,
while my guitar gently weeps...
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping;
still my guitar gently weeps...

I don't know why nobody told you
how to unfold your love...
I don't know how someone controlled you;
they bought and sold you...

I look at the world and I notice it's turning,
while my guitar gently weeps...
With every mistake, we must surely be learning;
still my guitar gently weeps...

I don't know how you were diverted;
you were perverted, too...
I don't know how you were inverted;
no one alerted you...

I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping,
while my guitar gently weeps...
Look at you all...
Still my guitar gently weeps...

(While my guitar gently weeps...
Still my guitar gently weeps...
While my guitar gently weeps...
Still my guitar gently weeps...)

Regina Spektor, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" (from Kubo and the Two Strings)

The first part in a new crossover series between Kubo and Octonauts, When Kubo Met Sach. (Sach - full name Sachairi Sea Otter - is my OC if you haven't noticed. ) Ever since I watched Kubo and the Two Strings, I've been working on this sketch for a week - from first telling KwaziiCat about it to putting on the final touches to this sketch just a few minutes ago - even going as far as keeping a part of this a secret! But it's all worth it in the end, seeing Sach and his new friend jamming it out, perhaps in the village that Kubo now calls home, singing songs, telling stories - and even leaning on each other for brotherly support.

Emma's interpretation of these events in the drawing above:

For the song, I think they might just talk about the types of music that they like to listen to and they come to a middle ground that they both like the Beetles [sic]... and then they decide to play "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
