Not looking to be morbid, but for anyone that wants to keep a tally , here are a few songs that I'd encourage to be played at my funeral (assuming that you, dear reader, outlasts me on the big rock we call home). I think it's this dreary day (and the last day of Summer at that) that inspired this. Well, that ,and looking for a way to get some music on these sorry blogs of mine. Here's the first five...next batch to be continued at a later date. Somebody write these down....
Have to have Harry Nilsson...he's pulled me out of some miserable depths in the past with his lugubriousness
...This Warren Zevon song hits me pretty hard..knowing it was one of the last things he had ever done, and him knowing he was on his deathbed when he recorded it.
One of my favorite Talking Heads songs....probably a better option than Psycho Killer...
Love these lyrics...Can't you picture this?...Doesn't this put you there? Great writing....
You're in the back seat laying down
The windows wrap around
To sound of the travel and the engine
All you hear is time stand still in travel
And feel such peace and absolute
The stillness still that doesn't end
But slowly drifts into sleep
The stars are the greatest thing you've ever seen
And they're there for you
For you alone you are the everything
And I said five, right?
Has to be a Beatles song...although I do kind of like this cover.
So five for now....five more at a later date.
Did someone get these?
