Song#1
The Flatliners - The Eulogy Song
I can write a long list of beautiful mourning songs to play at a funeral, but there are few out there that are actually a little upbeat. On May 27th 2011, we put my murdered sister's body to rest in a cemetery - 3 years after her death. At her funeral, held a few days after her body was found, the song that played over the speakers of the funeral was "Season in the Sun" and a super-talented woman sang an amazing rendition of "Amazing Grace" that gave the packed parlor-room chills. But this year, this day of laying her body to rest now that the trials have been completed, I found this song to be far more appropriate. My sister liked her music loud, she would dance anywhere - so I like to think this one is a little more her style.

Song#2
Foo Fighters - Everlong
Why do I love this song? Perhaps it's the awesome lyrics, maybe it's the great music, but my guess is -- I love it because it's one of the few songs I can sing on Guitar Hero almost perfectly.

Song#3
Meatloaf - Bat out of Hell
I would be happy with pretty much any song on this album. In fact, if I were stuck on a deserted island and could only bring one CD, this would be the one. Really, who doesn't need a little rock-opera in their lives?
1 and 2 are new to me 3 I already liked. Of the two new ones I preferred the first.
ReplyDeleteAs for your life story, I can't imagine what you have been through, I hope that you are finding support and ways overcome. Im glad you found a song to play for her that reflected who she was.
I am very sorry to hear about the trouble you have been through and glad that you have had the opportunity to lay your dear sister to rest.

ReplyDeleteI love the Foo Fighters, in fact we were in Target this weekend and they had T-shirt section that showed a Red Foo Fighters T-shirt, but they didn't have any. I went home and searched the online store and they don't carry it either! False advertising!
