Elegy Vs Eulogy

Larry and His Flask call it “Elegy” in Ebb and Flow

Boysetsfire of course have an entire album named “After the Eulogy”

(and no, the kids never asked why he’s singing about rice)

I always kinda wondered, turns out one’s typically at funerals, the other is a bit more general-purpose. So know I know.

NOTE

An elegy is a poem that expresses sorrow or melancholy, often about someone who has died. A eulogy is usually a speech that praises the achievements and character of a person who has died, often as part of a funeral service.
