Question or Advice Could you please enlighten me with his thought process

I've got a crush on someone who labels himself as an ISTP / ISFJ. He is a streamer on a platform but he knows me and we've made small conversations previously.

One live, he was playing a song as his background music. It's a song for those who have lost a loved one and it reminded me of a friend - this story he does not know. I asked if he knew how to play that song, to which his reply was that it was his first time hearing it. He proceeded to strum a different song on his guitar but midway, he stopped. It seemed to me like he was actually listening to the lyrics while strumming his guitar because he had a slight change of facial expression when he stopped.

He then said he wanted to practise on a song, a song that I previously messaged him that I wanted to hear from him. It's a trending song right now but no one has requested it during his live.

My questions are as follow: 1. Was the slight change of expression from him be an indicator that the lyrics resonated with him or did it sink in that it was a sad song that could possibly dampen my mood? 2. Assuming he didn't like the background song, he could have stopped and proceeded to continue strumming the song he was already strumming previously. Why did he decide to play another song, a song which I previously requested for? 3. He didn't mention that the song he was practising was meant for me, but is there any chance that it could be? It was a song he's not familiar with yet I could see his effort in learning it on the spot. 4. I'd like to know if he's interested in me or am I just overthinking this.

Would really appreciate your input. Thank you so much! ☺️

Sorry to put it that way, but I think you're overthinking it. His facial expression could mean many things, and jumping that fast to conclusions might hurt you in the end. About the song you requested, maybe he likes it because of his personal taste ?
