The story of the song "A Wedding for You – A Funeralfor Me..." written by MESEN:

The golden light seeped through the window, curling silently along the walls of the room. He stood just in front of the glass. The pane was fogged, each breath leaving a trace—only to fade just as quickly.
Once, when he whispered her name, it lingered.
Now, even the breath seemed to retreat.
These streets used to echo with her laughter. Now they hummed only with memory.
Everything left behind seemed to live inside him, like a song that had forgotten its melody.

Together, they had built their dream without speaking a word.
The silence between them had meaning: a glance, a soft smile, the way she rested her head against his shoulder.
Then, one day, the silence was broken by music.
Church bells rang. Lights flared. People gathered.
She appeared in white, veiled and radiant.
He took a step back.
When she said “I do,” he quietly said goodbye—not to her, but to himself.

Everything he’d ever hoped for slipped from his hands in silence.
He didn’t cry.
He didn’t scream.
He simply watched.
It was a wedding, yes. But for him, it was a funeral.

That night—and so many after—he drifted between sleep and sorrow.
In his dreams, he was still the boy who whispered her name like a prayer.
In the morning, he woke as if from a graveside vigil.

Among crowds, he no longer felt seen.
Even the mirror no longer recognized him.
His body still breathed, but his heart had long been buried.

Her smile still visited him in flashes.
It used to mean hope.
Now... it was only a wound.

And it would stay that way forever...

 

About the Song: This is a Wedding for You – A Funeral for Me…

Released on the MesenArts Music YouTube Channel, this slow-burning blues ballad captures the raw emotional wreckage left behind when love takes a cruel detour.

Written by Mesen, the lyrics portray a heart-wrenching scene: a man watching the woman he loves marry someone else. The setting is sacred, the guests are joyful—but for the narrator, every smile is a blade, every prayer a tombstone. As the bride twirls, his soul folds in on itself.

Blending the sorrowful sound of mournful blues guitar with poetic, minimalist lyrics, the song builds like a storm of restrained pain—controlled, but unforgettable.

 

 

What You’ll Hear

• 🎸 A slow 6/8 groove in C minor
• A smoky male vocal, broken but beautiful
• A dynamic shift from sorrowful whispers to desperate cries
• Echoes of classic blues with a modern poetic twist

 

·        Lyrics That Cut Deep

·        “Your smile is like a dagger...
Thanks to you, I'm like a ghost in the world.”

·        The juxtaposition between the joy of a wedding and the death of love gives this song an emotional duality—something rare in modern songwriting. It doesn't try to hide grief. It celebrates its existence.

 

 

Why It Resonates

If you've ever watched someone you love belong to someone else...
If you've ever stood quietly at the edge of happiness, forgotten...
Then this song is for you.
It’s not a blues cliché.
It’s a blues confession.

Lyrics of the song by MESEN "A Wedding for You – A Funeral forMe...":

 

[Intro ]

This ain’t no ordinary wedding...

This is a wedding for you- a funeral for me.

[Verse 1]

This is no ordinary wedding!

Listen, how the guitar cries mournfully.

Candles are lit on the sacred walls.

As the bride dances like a fairy -

how her veil flutters…

Some of the guests pray, some dance.

Until yesterday you were my dream's favorite.

Now you're a wife to someone else, a stranger to me?

[Chorus]

This is a wedding for you and a funeral for me.

Your smile is like a dagger...

Is your love a reward... or a punishment?

Thanks to you, I'm like a ghost in the world.

[Verse 2]

When I first saw your sparkling eyes

The fire of love that enveloped my being,

How it swept me off my feet!

Your smile that suits your dimple...

I was willing to drown in the sea of dreams with you forever.

The fire that enveloped my soul that day-

became my executioner today.

Until yesterday you were my dream's favorite.

Now you're a wife to someone else, a stranger to me?

[Chorus]

This is a wedding for you and a funeral for me.

Your smile is like a dagger...

Is your love a reward... or a punishment?

Thanks to you, I'm like a ghost in the world.

[Verse 3]

Your bouquet in your hand, your veil on your head,

How it hurts me

Your gaze that screams your happiness.

My soul doesn't fit in my body

My dreams on one side and reality on the other.

The one who wrote you to me, the one who took you from me-

The same divine destiny,

While my body is still breathing-

Why does my heart feel like a dead man?

Until yesterday you were my dream's favorite.

Now you're a wife to someone else, a stranger to me?

[Final Chorus ]

This is a wedding for you and a funeral for me.

Your smile is like a dagger...

Is your love a reward... or a punishment?

Thanks to you, I'm like a ghost in the world.

You're a wound in my soul,

Forever....
