[@gutz1981]

If you were a first generation child of immigrants, you can so relate to why all the grown ups are crying and why the young ones and Adriana don't have a clue. Our parents would love sharing their songs from the old country with us as they remembered home. And we cry because we remember them.

[@vaahtobileet]

Yes and they didn't even speak Italian. The uploader of this video amusingly cut out most of the Meadow parts and the very ending of the season, where Junior's song transitions into French, Chinese and Spanish songs. He didn't get it, so he just left it out. These people watch The Sopranos without any idea of what the show is about. Oliver Stone said that "Generally, popular films are a result of a misunderstanding between the public and the director" and you can observe this in full effect with The Sopranos.

[@jasonx165]

That’s part the message yes. But the other part is that there is also a divide between the older generation being nostalgic and complacent about what in reality is a super fucked up thing. Organized crime that involves the taking of human lives along with other very heinous crimes. Earlier in the episode the therapist really tries to press Tony into trying to resize this. And all he says is “I didn’t have a choice but I want to give my children a choice” the hypocrisy in that statement is that sure, he’s providing for his kids and wanting to me better than him and not follow his path. But he is doing all the things he doesn’t want his children doing. And they grew up seeing this left and right, since episode one. medow growing wise to what her father did. And AJ literally following in tony’s footsteps with his anxiety in the same exact way. Developing a panic attack because he is literally scared of his own father, just like how Tony had his first panic attack trigger. So then the younger generation as represented by medow and AJ in this scene are like “wtf...? We’re crying singing and being all nostalgic for our families organized crime affiliations that we are pretty sure lead to the killing of one of our own...? Fuck this...”

In such a dark show filled with murders and violence, this moment right here is one of the most beautiful, heartwarming scenes.

[@treehugger3615]

It's actually very fucked up. The people responsible for Jackie's murder (no sympathy for him either) are in the very same room. I don't remember if Vito was in the room but that would've been the icing on the cake. Only Meadow gets it, it's all bs. That's why she is my favorite female character of the series.

that was a beautifu ending to a season finale! as a first timer, it really was something!! off to season 4!

[@MyLifeRSC]

This scene was just something else. Every now and then I come back and watch this clip, just captured something really special. Then again, The Sopranos did that a lot!

[@xfmk9296]

Reminds me of Irish funerals. Pure traditional music, never seen any of the older men in my family cry but it’s the only time I feel comfortable crying when the folk songs come out at the funerals. Just knowing it’s the same songs that will get sung when my own parents die hits different. 🇮🇪❤️🇮🇹

Dominic chianese is coming to England to sing and talk about his time acting on the sopranos. I bought tickets today and it’s in a month. I can’t wait. Seeing him sing live is gonna b insane

[@Rohwit]

Woke up to The Sopranos after 39 years of being alive. Was about to give up in season 3. Then, this moment came up. I am not italian, I don’t understand a thing. This moment though, it felt surreal and I cried along with the characters on the screen. Just wanted to bookmark this moment here. I wanted to give up The Sopranos because it is too dark and I felt it was seeping into my veins. I was giving up The Sopranos. I won’t now. What. A. Moment. Johnny Sack shot, made me lose it. The Sopranos. Before. Everything. Love from India

Omg I remember this scene! :) The Sopranos was really a big hit here in Ireland we loved the show :) this scene moved me to tears, his voice my god sooo beautiful, god bless the Italians they sure know how to sing :) really miss James Gandolfini Dio l'abbia in gloria, xx

Caterina, Caterina, why do you say those bitter words? Why do you speak and torment my heart, Caterina? Don't forget, I gave you my heart, Caterina, don't forget. Caterina, Caterina, why do you come and say those words that hurt me so much? You don't think of my pain, you don't think, you don't care. Ungrateful heart, you have stolen my life. Everything is finished and you don't care any more! Catarí', Catarí' you do not know that even in church I bring my prayers to God, Catari. And I recount my confession to the priest: "I am suffering from such a great love." I'm suffering, I'm suffering from not knowing your love, I'm suffering a sorrow that tortures my soul. And I confess, that the Holy Mother spoke to me: "My son, let it be, let it be."

No one in the comment section below gets it that Meadow is actually the most devastated person in the entire room and her childish acting out is a façade for the terrible pain she feels (Great scene by David Chase)
