    yeah its morbid..

    but since we're not gonna live forever like we thought we might the first half or so of our lives, we're obviously gonna die someday.

    and i dont want " keep your eyes on the prize " played at my funeral.

    (keeping in mind that theres no one thats gonna claim my body to bury it anyway when the time comes)

    i want " if you could read my mind" by gordon lightfoot

    " carry on my wayward son" by (kansas?)(doobie brothers?)

    "cool change" Little River band...

    all life long favorites of mine.

    Don't care. Whatever my surviving family wants. I won't be able to hear it.

    Theres a few that pop to mind. I'll probably be cremated so i could opt for 'Disco Inferno', 'Smoke gets in my eyes' or 'Light my fire' but thats not really in best taste and may upset people.

    I'll probably go for 'You'll never walk alone' by Gerry and the Pacemakers

    Sun Rise,Sunset from Fiddler on the Roof would be good, too.

    Bright Eyes is a haunting and beautiful song. Very ethereal. Sitting, well just read the lyrics. Both of these songs are fitting and beautiful.
    Bright Eyes by Art Garfunkel Is it a kind of a dream
    Floating out on the tide

    Following the river of death downstream
    Oh is it a dream? There's a fog along the horizon
    A strange glow in the sky
    And nobody seems to know where it goes

    And what does it mean?
    Oh is it a dream?


    Bright eyes, burning like fire
    Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
    How can the light that burned so brightly,
    Suddenly burn so pale?
    Bright eyes

    Is it a kind of a shadow
    Reaching into the night
    Wandering over the hills unseen
    Oh is it a dream? There's a high wind in the trees
    A cold sound in the air
    And nobody ever knows where you go
    And where do you start?
    Oh into the dark

    Bright eyes, burning like fire
    Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
    How can the light that burned so brightly,
    Suddenly burn so pale?
    Bright eyes

    Bright eyes, burning like fire
    Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
    How can the light that burned so brightly,
    Suddenly burn so pale?

    Bright eyes
    Sitting by Cat Stevens Oh I'm on my way I know I am,
    somewhere not so far from here
    All I know is all I feel right now,
    I feel the power growing in my head


    Sitting on my own not by myself,
    everybody's here with me
    I don't need to touch your face lo know,
    and I don't need to use my eyes to see I keep on wondering if I sleep too long,
    will I always wake up the same (or so)?
    I keep on wondering if I sleep to long,
    will I even wake up the same or something

    Oh I'm on my way I know I am,
    but times there were when thought not

    Bleeding half my soul in bad company,
    I thank the moon I had the strength to stop

    I'm not making love to anyone's wishes,
    only for that light I see 'Cause when I'm dead and lowered low in my grave,
    that's gonna be the only thing that's left of me

    And if I make it to the waterside,
    will I even find me a boat (or so)?

    And I if I make it lo the waterside,

    I'll be sure to write you note or something


    Oh I'm on my way I know I am,
    somewhere not so far from here

    All I know is all I feel right now,

    I feel the power growing In my head

    Oh life is like a maze of doors
    and they all open from the side you're on
    Just keep on pushing hard boy, try as you may
    You're going to wind up where you started from
    You're going to wind up where you started from

    Hello - by evanescence

    Playground school bell rings again
    Rain clouds come to play again
    Has no one told you she's not breathing?
    Hello I am your mind giving you someone to talk to
    Hello

    If I smile and don't believe
    Soon I know I'll wake from this dream
    Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken
    Hello I'm the lie living for you so you can hide
    Don't cry

    Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
    Hello I'm still here
    All that's left of yesterday
