The way I said it was: "Even a very dark and somber song can feel out of place and ruin the tone of an equally dark and somber film. They just don't mix very well in my opinion."

If I heard "Electric Funeral" during a key scene in a very dark Godzilla film, I'm sorry but it would greatly diminish the scene for me. That doesn't mean I don't like the song or that it's not dark or ominous, but it just doesn't belong in a Godzilla movie. Songs like that should not play during an extremely horrific rampage scene or during an emotionally poignant scene. Just adding a dark-toned song to a scene does not make the scene better or more dark. In the case of a Godzilla movie, I don't think it would work very well at all. I never said it did, but it would be good if it happened. Godzilla is suppose to be a symbol of atomic destruction, a topic explored in "Electric Funeral". Adding a dark-toned song to a dark-toned scene makes more sense than adding a non-dark-toned song to a dark-toned scene, or a dark-toned song to a non-dark-toned scene. It's really not too much to ask for. No... Just... It's hard to explain, but you've entirely missed the point...

King of the Monsters, maybe you have something else, because I'm at a loss for how to explain this...
