The tone and melody does not reflect the eerieness of the soliloquy. The soliloquy is somewhat scary while this song's melody is somewhat happy. How ironic.

[arnauvilardebo]

Yes. Ironic. In the song is not somebody who's suffering but someone who's telling us something all we know. For example: the dread stops often our determination (not only for suicide). You can think in the "whips and scorns of time" as a tragedy or to take all this as "the soup that we eat everyday". A place where we must deal. Even in a middle of a battle is good not to loose your sense of humor. Maybe we can imagine and old Hamlet (not dead!) remembering his old thoughts...singing!

[arnauvilardebo]

Maybe only the fear "of something after dead" stop our suicide. It's one of the possible interpretations of the monologue.

I like this, very catchy and calm. It feels lengthy but it's a great song.

[arnauvilardebo]
