Yes.
He is also searching for "why" and he solves for Y.
The lyrics are very clever, and it indicates a slide from vibrantly emotional to coldly logical (why -> Y; ex -> X).
Another layer of meaning is that he's singing that he does not understand himself or how he relates to other people. A further implication of this is that, therefore, he's probably wrong about what Christine thinks and how she feels. What she sang was, if she has to break up, she's ready, not definitively that she's breaking up. It was too much for Spock to handle.
It sort of reminds me of the cold mathematical calculations he makes in the TOS Briefing Room when under the influence of the Psi 2000 virus. Muttering the number 6 over and over again before breaking down and sobbing.
Wow, that was quite something!
The whole premise is something that seems taken from a Douglas Adams book and is obviously only there to allow for the singing, still kudos to the writers for making it almost believable.
Not taking the episode too seriously, it was an hour of pure fun and in that it totally delivered.
A rare 10.

I couldn't have a better response to that.
I believe part of the point of living in musical reality being a problem was that it was compelling people to do and say things that they wouldn't if they were behaving rationally all because of the rules of theatrical drama.
It was also a point that these drama driven musical outbursts that stressed/broke/exposed pike's, spock's, and la'an's "relationships" didn't hold a candle to the potency of collaboratively coming together to sing in unison.
The songs didn't compel her to not tell Spock at all, while just about everyone else already knew. She decided that on her own before Spock even went to the bar and he deduced her news.
True but if she wasn't in musical reality she could have given a rational explanation like "he's busy with the subspace fold" it was musical reality that compelled the most emotionally heavy responce, in both of them.
After watching this again, I can say that yes it is. You can clearly hear Paul Wesley say "Good Anson!" I like that they left this in.
Since this episode was shot differently to a normal Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode, we got to see angles of the sets that we had not seen before. In fact, I think we saw parts of main engineering that were never shown on screen before. Loved it.
While I found the Klingon boy band aka K-pop funny, I think I would have preferred the Opera that apparently they filmed first. That better be on the Bluray. I think Opera would have suited the Klingons better, that or something like Lamb of God, Burn the Priest.
That's why we have the CD, "Ol' Yellow Eyes Is Back". One track, Brent is accompanied by The Sunspots (Patrick, Jonathan, LeVar and Michael).

Spiner was in good form as John Adams in the Broadway revival of 1776. I have the cast album.
well so much for this thing being canon
All the neutrinos were improbably spinning 42degrees to the left/s
Me, Not so much. I still have Incoming Transport - Incoming Transport - Incoming Transport - Incoming Transport going round and round
That’s not how canon works.
What, that you heard a slightly midwestern accent when Kirk said "good ensign?" Easy solution.

YES. Status Report has taken up the space where the Klingon K-Pop band has not (though they are pushing against that front, as Klingons do). Harmonically speaking, it's sublime.
