/mu/ - Music

unironically this

I hope you guessed the song before clicking.

Why is it always a song at a funeral? I don't get why that's a thing.

Because music is a universal language that translates emotions directly.

A picture says more than a thousand words, and music says more than a thousand pictures.

Well yeah, no shit. I'm not autistic. Just

>oh no, somebody I know died

>I'll go to a gathering of other people who cared about them and say goodbye one last time

>you know what else we should do? We should all sit here in silence and listen to a song they liked

It seems so arbitrary and out-of-place to me in that context. Yeah, emotions, obviously. But (a) it's a song chosen by them and they probably have shit taste so half the room won't feel the intended emotion, and (b) if anyone doesn't like it they have to sit through it and now they feel uncomfortable and distracted from the reason they turned up and (c) if any dumb fucks like me who overanalyze stupid bullshit go to their funeral they're going to think the dead person is stupid and just does things because everyone else does them.

It seems unnatural now, but it was just part of the grieving process. Music to punctuate the passing of a person. Music that was actually written specifically for that wake perfectly fit the mood. The tradition doesn't work now that people play the same manufactured crap;.

Get directly to the point. They all know why they're here
