Importance of music

Music represents connection and understanding. Katrina finds islands of solace in her music, listening to it at nearly every waking moment. Evelyn takes solace in Buddy Holly music, which reminds her of Eloise and the love they shared. There’s a certain tragedy to their bonding over Buddy Holly, since he died tragically in a plane crash at the age of 22. On a broader level, music connects people physically. During their Easter party, the residents and nuns dance to music from their phones. Music affords the characters a new freedom of self-expression. Music is also a part of religious experiences, allowing people to sing as a group and feel connected within a room full of strangers.
