| It seemed pretty obvious to me that the poetry of this moment was that the son moved on to a better place with his death, hence the incredible feeling of joy of that number that is celebrated by all those who knew his difficult life. It's a belief that his state after leaving life on earth is better. There are major religions whose tenets include a belief that at death a person is released from human bondage, corporal pains, emotional suffering, poverty, etc. There are even major musicals who have used this setup and release effectively. |
