It was truer to my father to let the songs he'd sung die with him, little by little, averse at a time. How could these art-mongers constantly ignore the mortality of beauty, a pleonasm if ever I'd heard one?

About This Quote

This quote is about how it is better to let your father’s music die with him than to keep it alive so that his legacy can live on forever. This idea of letting go is very profound for many people, especially those with a strong sense of self. Some people are afraid that if they are not around to sing the songs, then the music will die with them. Others feel that they are burdening others by singing the songs.
