Just in case you don’t know the man behind thissong (and I guarantee you know the song): Israel “Iz” Kamakawiwo'ole, or Bruddah Iz, was a phenomenal Hawaiian musician and activist. He spent his life making music and promoting the ideas of Hawaiian independence and the negative impacts of the tourism industry on native Hawaiian people.
(This is my favorite video of Iz, talking about his life and singing a song from Facing Future called “White Sandy Beach.” It’s beautiful. He was beautiful.)
Iz died on June 26, 1997 and is survived by his widow, Marlene, and their daughter Ceslie-Ann “Wehi.” His ashes were scattered into the Pacific Ocean at Mākua Beach on July 12, 1997, while thousands of fans celebrated his life. The gifs above are from video taken at the funeral and used for the What a Wonderful World video.
@arcadefire: It’s the 15th anniversary of Funeral. A lot of hard work, but also countless joy and fun with Arcade Fire. Feel very lucky to have had the chance to make a record that still holds up pretty damn well! - Win.

I made a blog site elsewhere to make posts, share my experiences, and get my thoughts out on a more personal level. (Don’t worry: this is still my community-based blog, and it’s not going anywhere). I’m unsure if I want to keep it going or not, but I’d have to gauge interest. How many people would be interested in reading my blog? I don’t want to be writing to an empty audience.
I just wanted to extend a welcome and thank you to all of my followers. It’s amazing to see such a huge death positivity community on tumblr!
I wanted to let everyone know that my submit box is open, and you are welcome at any time to submit your photos, stories, thoughts, and questions. I want this to be a thought-provoking community that draws everyone a little closer to death acceptance!
