Oui
When he’s got the chance to sing any French song ever made but y’know he’s John Lennon and he goes for a ‘Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir’ (Would you like to sleep with me, tonight ) instead.

Meet the Australian Music Teacher Who Can Play Over 350 Instruments
To hear more of Peter’s musical prowess, check out @oneharpiainen on Instagram. For more music stories, head to @music.
Peter Kaukiainen (@oneharpiainen) had a serious dilemma. After high school, he auditioned on the oboe for a music conservatory in Queensland, Australia. Glowing praise followed, along with an impossible edict: He had to pick just one other instrument to study. But when you hold the unofficial world record for most instruments played by one person, choosing just two is like choosing a favorite child.
“I just couldn’t cut down!” says the now 40-year-old teacher and music therapist, who gives new meaning to the term “multi-instrumentalist.” “So I went out to the world myself and learned as much as I could.”
No kidding. To date, he estimates he can play between 350 to 500 instruments. Yet for such a lengthy resumé, Peter wasn’t a young prodigy. In fact, he didn’t play any instruments until he was 13, but his fate was sealed early: his grandparents played 50 instruments between the two of them, and his great-uncle was country singer and guitarist Slim Dusty, one of the most successful musicians in Australia, with over 100 albums to his name.
Once Peter began to play, he did it stealthily. Each Friday, he’d select a different instrument from his school’s music room — French horn one week, bassoon the next — and return it Monday having learned how to play in his backyard, a massive, 1,000-acre (405-hectare) playground bordering the state forest in Queensland. Animals were his audience.
“I started noticing they were responding. I’d play notes and they’d sing back, so I started trying different notes,” he says. “That’s where I realized nature talks to you as well. So ever since I’ve had this wonderful relationship, especially with birds. Birds will come sit on the fence and sing to me while I’m playing.”
His friends aren’t just feathered. Whether Peter is tickling a glockenspiel or sawing delicate strains on a violin in the videos he posts, kangaroos cock their heads and kitties curl up to sleep. Humans are drawn to them as well, so much so that strangers who stumbled upon his homemade blend of music and nature therapy began reaching out to thank him.
“People started writing to me that the music I was doing was helping them with anxiety. Especially people who live in the city,” he says. “The Celtic harp is probably the instrument I use most in music therapy. Dementia patients and kids with very high autism respond beautifully to harp music, the sympathetic resonance of the harp. It can help people relax.”
He should know. After all, he began filming the videos as a self-help method. “I was grieving for my sister, who died suddenly, and I didn’t play for weeks,” he says. “So I started doing 15-second videos just as a way to get back into playing.”
Once he posted them, responses poured in from around the world.
“Helping other people heal helped me heal,” he says. “It’s amazing how you can access someone’s emotions whether they speak your language or not. It sounds a bit of a cliché, ‘the universal language of music,’ but it doesn’t mean it’s not real. Music makes you feel like you belong to something.”

Dansee.. my love Dx
And Dogmeat breaks my heart
Oh! How do each of the FO4 characters cry
piper: she’s quietand turns her face away, not wanting anyone to see her vulnerable but her puffyred eyes and tears streaking her face give her away
hancock: his crying is messy and nearly always leaves himwith a headache and he hates every bit of it, constantly wiping at his eyes andnose with a handkerchief. he plays it off with jokes about allergies or “toomuch radiation in the air” because he isn’t very comfortable exposing deeperemotions to just anyone
cait: she doesn’t cry often but when she does her tears arealways accompanied by bouts of anger and smashed bottles. she pummels herpillows with her fists before dropping down onto the bed and burying her face inthem to muffle her sobs. crying always leaves her exhausted
curie: she does it sometimes without even realizing. tearsstream down her face for no apparent reason as she works, other times her sobsare loud and frustrated, full of anger or quiet and barely audible as shesniffles and wipes her eyes
danse: he’s silent when he cries, hanging his head and letting the tears fallfreely, sometimes sitting and pulling his knees to his chest and resting his face in his crossed arms, taking slow deep breaths until the tears stop and he composes himself
preston: he cries unabashed with lots of tears, hiccuping loudlyand not bothering to wipe his face until he’s all out of tears to shed. he’snot afraid of who sees him crying and doesn’t try to hide it
nick valentine: he may not be able to shed tears, but his voicecracks when he tries to speak, his body tremoring as buries his face in hishands
maccready: he tends to keep to himself,going off until he is sure he is alone before he lets himself cry. when hefinally does, there isn’t anything he can do to stem the flow of tears as he rocks back and forth and fists his hands in his hair, doing anything he canto distract himself from the heavy feeling of grief hanging in his chest
codsworth: he expresses his sorrow in low deep hums andbusies himself with absolutely anything he can to distract himself
deacon: he doesn’t even look like himself, his facecontorted in anguish, body wracked by sobs, his sunglasses besides him and abandoned, the lenses speckled with tear drops
strong: super mutants do not cry, that is for weak humans
x6-88: crying is not beneficial to him in any way, so he doesn’tcry
dogmeat: he whines softly, head resting on his paws, untilhis chest feels too heavy and he howls until his voice grows hoarse
