funeral songs

day 24 - a song that you want to play at your funeral
hey man, if i can play a song at my funeral, what the heck am i doing there! besides, my dad always said i'll be late to it anyway.

james taylor - sweet baby james

And as the moon rises he sits by his fire
Thinking about women and glasses of beer
And closing his eyes as the doggies retire
He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
As if maybe someone could hear

dave matthews band - lie in our graves
(i used to have this guitar... meg's wearing it and an epiphone les paul on her left hand now!)

I can't believe that we would lie in graves
wondering if we had spent our living days well

(i think that was my "senior quote" in our high school yearbook)


and of course you need everyone to sing a hymn:
it is well with my soul

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
