Went to a funeral yesterday - were playing Whiter Shade of Pale. Thought that was an odd choice since it was open casket.

That's a hard question...I'm thinking maybe Taken By Trees' cover of "Sweet Child of Mine" or "The Box" by Johnny Flynn.
Somethin' like that. Or, something really cool, like "Solid Slender" by John Lee Hooker. ;) |

GREAT song, choice call!!! I lit up your link that all could listen. Thanx for the memory ... I MUCH prefer the original Youngblood's/Jesse Colin Young cover, though Robert Plant is one of my very favourite male singers. Ever heard it? Give it a listen: The Youngbloods http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-CYWbfFoXY&feature=related Here's Eric Burdon's cover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNDLd4hho_A&feature=related Darkness, Darkness Be my pillow Take my hand And let me sleep In the coolness of your shadow In the silence of your deep Darkness, Darkness Hide my yearning For the things I cannot be Keep my mind from constant turning Toward the things I cannot see now Things I cannot see now Things I cannot see Darkness, darkness, Long and lonesome, Ease the day that brings me pain. I have felt the edge of sadness, I have known the depth of fear. Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, Cover me with the endless night, Take away, take away the pain of knowing, Fill the emptiness of right now, Emptiness of right now, now, now Emptiness of ri-ight now. Darkness, darkness, be my pillow, Take my hand, and let me sleep. In the coolness of your shadow, In the silence, the silence of your deep. Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, Cover me with the endless night, Take away, take away the pain of knowing Fill the emptiness of right now, Emptiness of right now now now Emptiness of right.... Oh yeah Oh yeah Emptiness, emptiness Oh yeah |

Theres no time for us Theres no place for us What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away From us Who wants to live forever Who wants to live forever....? Theres no chance for us Its all decided for us This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us Who wants to live forever Who wants to live forever? Who dares to love forever? When love must die But touch my tears with your lips Touch my world with your fingertips And we can have forever And we can love forever Forever is our today Who wants to live forever Who wants to live forever? Forever is our today Who waits forever anyway? |

I can see clearly now - Johnny Nash
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkwJ-g0iJ6w I can see clearly now, the rain is gone, I can see all obstacles in my way Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day. I think I can make it now, the pain is gone All of the bad feelings have disappeared Here is the rainbow I’ve been prayin?for It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day. Look all around, there’s nothin?but blue skies Look straight ahead, nothin?but blue skies I can see clearly now, the rain is gone, I can see all obstacles in my way Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day. |
