Boy that's a good question I don't have any songs that I can think of right off the bat but I do know there must be something or a few out there hahaha. I love that quote and that is a fantastic manttra the first one heard something the other day as well too but I really loved. We only die once so we should live everyday! Hugs Joy

I think everyone's life when they pass should be celebrated and it sounds like your family is planning a great tribute of celebration for your beloved Aunts life.. Seduce the mind and see what a wonderful adventure the body will take you on..

First off...very sorry about the loss of your aunt. I have had quite a few losses in a short time span, so i know all about the process of reconciling that.....and abt the celebratory nature of their home going service. Different people, different cultures....we all do it differently. Kudos to her and her life well lived !! Secondly, my planned service is to have all the versions that can be found , playing in a loop , of : Its a Wonderful World. Of course Louis Armstrong does it but so does Nora Jones and several others, plus there are instrumental versions. Despite all the twists and turns of our existence, my belief is its still A Wonderful World ~~

I know your Aunt was a great Lady. She had to be to honor her so. Nice job by the infamous Hunter S. Thompson and I entirely agree with his assessment. They last thing I want said while lying in the casket is...oh he looks like he’s sleeping. I want to hear...look at him, how did he manage to stay so long ahead of the grim reaper. It is funny but Hoyt Axton...great songwriter. Always remembered him as the Dad in the movie the Gremlins. Hoyt has been dead for almost 20 years but my favorite song that he had sung...is it too early to drink???? Heard you had some trouble Thought I'd try to help you In my time I've had a little trouble too If you let it get you Down you know I'll bet you It will get you down and walk around on you Sweet misery She loves her company She's in a crowd when she is all alone She doesn't care follow you everywhere She is most happy when she makes you moan My dog had some puppies Would you like to have one He will be your friend and he will lick your face He will never cheat you He won't try to beat you Help you be a winner in the human race Sweet misery She loves her company She's in a crowd when she is all alone She doesn't care follow you everywhere She is most happy when she makes you moan Heard you're feelin' better Glad you found some happy In my time I've had a little happy too If you let it get you You know I'll bet you It will get you up and keep you smilin' through Sweet misery Don't need your company She's in a crowd when she is all alone She doesn't care follow you everywhere She is most happy when she makes you moan [post 4226339]

While most of us crave *exceptionalism*, we are bound together by our mortality. I- like John Ondrasik- celebrate the banality of our life-cycle. "100 Years" I'm 15 for a moment Caught in between 10 and 20 And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are I'm 22 for a moment And she feels better than ever And we're on fire Making our way back from Mars 15 there's still time for you Time to buy and time to lose 15 there's never a wish better than this When you only got a hundred years to live I'm 33 for a moment I'm still the man, but you see I'm a "they" A kid on the way, babe A family on my mind I'm 45 for a moment The sea is high And I'm heading into a crisis Chasing the years of my life 15 there's still time for you Time to buy and time to lose yourself Within a morning star 15 I'm all right with you 15 there's never a wish better than this When you only got a hundred years to live Half time goes by Suddenly you’re wise Another blink of an eye 67 is gone The sun is getting high We're moving on I'm 99 for a moment And dying for just another moment And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are 15 there's still time for you 22 I feel her too 33 you’re on your way Every day's a new day 15 there's still time for you Time to buy and time to choose Hey 15 there's never a wish better than this When you only got a hundred years to live

Death is nothing to be feared. It is inevitable for all of us. It is not a destination, nor goal, nor journey towards. Death to me is the next step in life. While I have been of the mind that my funeral shouldn't be something somber or melancholy or sad, it should be a party, a jam session of stories and Big Hair 80s music. Celebrate who I was and put those at ease I leave behind. I am just human. I have done some bad and some good in my life. I hope that those that show up and share stories will have seen the good and put aside the bad I've done. But EVERYONE will have to listen to Metallica and one of my favorite songs...…"Fade to Black" The Hubby

I have thought of the song that Warren Zevon included on his last album, when he knew the end was near. It's called "Keep Me In Your Heart for a While". TO me, the song is his way of leaving a message for after he was gone. He also recorded, "Knocking on Heaven's Door" for that album.

Sorry to hear about your loss Joy. Before there was Green Day and Good Riddance/Time of Your Life there was We May Never Pass This Way (Again) by Seals and Crofts. I like them both. But Amazing Grace on the bagpipes will be the one.
