My guess is the music goes into the past, leaving echos in your memories.
All these physics answers! The funnest explanation for a kid is just that music is only there when you’re listening to it. If you don’t listen, there’s no music. When you start listening again, music comes back. Then ask if they can hear the music of the wind.
What was that subreddit for parents who made up shit about what their kids obviously didn’t say?
This goes there.
I can’t say this did or didn’t happen, but I absolutely had ‘philosophical’ thoughts like this as a kid.
When I was ~10 I asked my mom how we know other people aren’t ‘aliens or something’. She just dismissed me as being silly, and I didn’t know it at the time but in retrospect I was absolutely experiencing and asking her about solipsism.
I didn’t know it was ‘philosophy’ but I think it’s integral to how we experience the world and sentience in general.
What was the subreddit that makes fun of people who never believe that kids ever say anything bizarre or ask unusual questions?
Your comment belongs there.
"And can you please tell me, oh
Where do broken hearts go?
Can they find their way home
Back to the open arms
Of a love that’s waiting there?
And if somebody loves you
Won’t they always love you?"
Really reminded me of this - the incorrect, useless, but poetic answer could be that it’s just like with love. Into the open arms of the music thats waiting there.
