tbh the song is so long that if it was a slow burn i'd be okay with having it play out to the end even if the death was tragic, also not that it could happen but my death would ideally be in slow motion, therefore this song is perfect
i was listening to this song on soundcloud and reading the comments and one of them said ‘god i want this to be played at my funeral’. since then i haven’t felt the same whenever i listen to it. maybe it’s because the lyrics are what i’m scared the end will be like, or because it’s slow enough that i won’t be rushing through all the memories.
i wrote a substack post about this. cos i can never shut up lol.
