since i can’t hear the songs, i don’t really get what’s going on here. is the church forbidding anyone from singing non-religious songs?? so like they can only sing church hymns and no pop songs?????
and since i can’t read the lyrics, im just imagining lippe sing a pop song like adele’s rolling in the deep and it’s making every scene with her singing 100x better XD
Yeah, more or less. Basically the church is trying to become a dictatorship and is trying to limit the culture regular people have access to by not allowing folk songs or songs that don't have a religious context tied to the church specifically. By doing so they're stirring up conflict and increasing their power and control over the common people, because they're breaking apart something that unites them and brings them joy (music), and using it to get more of them to come to the church, as well as to persecute those who choose not to. Essentially this creates an "us and them" divide, which can then escalate into violence against those who aren't with the church, end eventually full on oppression. Plus, in this scenario the church hymns might double as propaganda, which would only make the conflict worse. If that explanation makes sense?

Yeah, it's awful. And anytime :')
Nice explanation. That's how churches are so the explanation was really thought of well.
