Steven teaches you how to play a new song he wrote!
Plot[]
The short opens with a sparkly title card that says "Steven's Song Time" in a font resembling Comic Sans, and a ribbon with music notes on it.
Steven welcomes the viewer to "Steven's Song Time". He explains that things have been pretty crazy lately, and he has a lot of hard to talk about feelings and that he put them in a song. He puts up guitar tabs, complete with dots for fingers, so the viewer can play along. He says the title of the song ("Still Not Giving Up") and proceeds to perform it.
After playing, Steven wipes a tear from his eye and thanks the viewer for listening. He recommends the viewer try writing a song if they have any difficult feelings and that he'd love to hear the song. He tells the viewer he loves them, waves goodbye, and the video ends.
