I think I just unlocked a core memory of being a monkey in a past life while thinking about Diddy Kong while listening to Forest Interlude from Donkey Kong Country 2.
Watching the sunset, wanting to tell my monkey girlfriend how much I loved her, and how beautiful she looked in the sunset, but being unable to speak, because monkey from thousands of years ago pre-human-evolution.
Maybe that's how apes learned to talk... looking at each other, and wishing we could communicate.
Took a lot of babbling, squaking, barking, and roaring to get to functional verbal language, LOL.
And then there's these fuckers:
