Into darkness, my old friend.
I’ve come to talk with you again.
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains
Within the sound of silence

“Where do you think it goes?”

It turns into memories and heat.

The music stays in your head until your forget it. Music only exists in your head
Wynnstan@lemmy.world 5 days ago
It stays playing in my head on repeat until a different piece of music replaces it.

I can attest, this is playing in my head right now

Let’s assume the kid knows it’s a recording. It’s still a valid question.
Like where is the recording coming from when the kid asks Alexa to play a song?
I never thought about it, as I don’t have kids, but must be a bit harder explaining a global IT-infrastructure than it was for my grandpa to explaining how a VHS works. On a generalised level, that is.

The kid made a mistake asking where music came from. Now me must learn about TCP/IP, NTP and DNS 💀💀💀💀

Wowh woah you gotta start with the basics!

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung Would you hear my voice come through the music? Would you hold it near as it were your own? It’s a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken Perhaps they’re better left unsung I don’t know, don’t really care Let there be songs to fill the air Ripple in still water When there is no pebble tossed Nor wind to blow

It goes on until it doesn’t? Seems like there’s a pseudo-scientific philosophical argument that it continues on forever at some quantum level?
Natanael@slrpnk.net 6 days ago
There’s a physics argument that information can’t be destroyed, so in terms of causality it has an effect (see butterfly effect for reference) but because of various physical thresholds like the planck length, general limits on measurement precision (uncertainty principle, resolution limits, detection limits), chaos theory, etc, at one point it becomes indistinguishable noise.

But actually though, music goes up into the sky and becomes clouds.

The music stays there we keep moving

It diverges into the quantum realm of misheard lyrics.

As someone with a degree in Philosophy, I don’t think this is really a philosophical question. The science is interesting and useful to know

Sound is just the vibrations of the air, so as music fades, the air calms. Echoes, reverberance, they are just a result of sound “dampening”, and as each sound wave hits a surface that it reflects from the sound waves are also dampened.
So is the question where does music go? Or is it really, “where does silence come from?”

**“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 kit it’s just like with love.

If we can try with every day
To make it better as it goes
With any luck then I suppose

The truth in simple. I was annoyed to learn that there aren’t any crawlies that go back up your throath if you swallow toothpaste.
qarbone@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Why would that be annoying instead of relieving?

It goes out into the world, to be merged alongside all of the other sounds, until it can be recycled as “new” music and you can enjoy it again:-).
