August 31, 20196 yr I don't think this is an "official" video, but it suits the song. One of Patty's greatest tunes. "Forty years go by with someone lyin' in your bed Forty years of things you say you wished you'd never said How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead? I wonder as I stare up at the sky and turning red?" (lyrics transcribed from a live performance, I think they're more telling than those on the recording)
August 31, 20196 yr Pearl Jam has always been great on the funeral/coping with death songs. They have several, these three resonate the most with me. Man of the Hour is an all-timer that I’ve instructed the misses to play on my behalf when she inevitably outlives me: Light Years is about struggling to understand why a good person is just gone: ..and I recently came to the realization that the very melancholy sounding Parachutes is about counting down to the inevitable with a loved one: Edited August 31, 20196 yr by Bender Bending Rodriguez
September 1, 20196 yr The Kübler-Ross model of the 5 stages of grief in musical form. And not sure Brian Eno was thinking about death when he wrote this, but everyone wants it played at their funeral, so...

September 1, 20196 yr I'm not a fan of Death Cab For Cutie, but I think this is a pretty song. It makes me sad because the theme is death in an existence where there's no afterlife.
September 1, 20196 yr Quote I'm not a fan of Death Cab For Cutie, but I think this is a pretty song. It's a fantastic song. Good call. I admire DCFC because the music has a consistent, unique twist. It's something about the way Ben Gibbard writes melodies.
September 2, 20196 yr A deeper song about connecting and knowing the exact moment someone close to you dies. Piano and lyrics at 1:28 just fucking...break...my ...heart

September 4, 20196 yr I absolutely love Long Ride Home. I found this EP on the back wall at Waterloo years ago, and it's sadly likely relegated to the dustbin of history (no youtube), but Median States by Quinimine is one of the most haunting tunes I've ever heard. Spoiler We're 5 misfits like a pile of mis-matched socks hobbling into H2T later in the day of 9/11 drunk with despair and disbelief to record our first record. In between the news on TV and weeping we lay down this frail and flawed Drone country toon. Taken from the Filaments EP, released by Grey Flat Records of Chicago. Recorded at Thee Mighty Hotel2Tango 2001 by Howard Bilerman lyrics When pontius spoke out loud, we'll run this ship aground and kiss you under crosses & nails forget about Mary's thunder we're mired in the torpor and bitter in the spring. Mary I feel weaker than just about everything Mary I feel so young as ambulance lights flash above me.... When Judas takes a lover we'll marry in the spring the scarlet whore of babylon and just about everything credits released January 1, 2002 Words & Music by Gary Jansz Likewise, it's hard to find, but Milton Mapes put out an album with two great farewell songs, Bowie AZ and Craters of the Moon, if you can find them out there. Kinda strange to find one album with two songs I want played at my funeral. And there's this.
September 4, 20196 yr I've been with the same woman for 50 years, married 47. This one always gets me. Hat tip @hullabelew

September 4, 20196 yr Three, maybe four deaths: And the chick version. And good lord, Sheryl Crow is still just gorgeous.
September 4, 20196 yr Long As I Can See The Light CCR Put a candle in the window 'Cause I feel I've gotta moveThough I'm goin', goin' I'll be comin' home soon Long as I can see the light Pack my bag and let's get moving 'Cause I'm bound to drift awhileThough I'm gone, gone You don't have to worry Long as I can see the light Guess I've got that old travelin' bone 'Cause this feeling won't leave aloneBut I won't, won't Be losin' my way Long as I can see the light YeahYeahYeahOh yeah Put a candle in the window 'Cause I… This will be played at my funeral after my passing.

September 4, 20196 yr Probably my all time fav in this genre. Edited September 4, 20196 yr by Chad Fuck
September 4, 20196 yr Vince Gill is a national treasure. Guitar virtuoso, one of the best voices in popular music of any genre, terrific songwriter, scratch golfer, and married to Amy Grant. He started writing that tune about Keith Whitley but only finished it when his own brother passed.

September 4, 20196 yr As great as Offspring's original is, FFDP did a damn good remake of it. Reading the comments on either will choke you up.
