Ripple, by the Dead: No it's not about that brand of wine.

http://www.dead.net/song/ripple

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music?
Would you hold it near, as it were your own?


It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air (note 1)


Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow


Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of man


There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go, no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone


Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow


You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall, you fall alone
If you should stand, then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way, I would take you home

Pish-tosh! Try THIS one instead!

1974 Eagles (the "real" band pre-Joe Walsh)


"Already Gone"

Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
But let me tell you I got some news for you
And you'll soon find out it's true
And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself
'Cause I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song, woo, hoo,hoo,woo,hoo,hoo

The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why
But I guess you felt like you had to set things right
Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky
You can see the stars and still not see the light (that's right)

And I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song, woo, hoo,hoo,woo, hoo,hoo

Well I know it wasn't you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free
So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key

But me, I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
'Cause I'm already gone
Yes, I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
'Cause I'm already gone
Yes, I'm already gone
Already gone
All right, nighty-night

Kind of sappy but I can relate on a bunch of levels. After that, just a bunch of good, rowdy beer drinking songs of all genres.

Sorry. I'm a bit more melancholy than y'all.

I want "Amazing Grace" on the bagpipes.

Watch Spock's memorial service in the Star Trek "Wrath of Khan" movie...you'll get the idea.

You want to be launched out of a torpedo tube and onto a distant planet?

I would prefer either "Lament for the Children" or "In Praise of Morag" for a nice solemn tune, but most people prefer "Amazing Grace". "The Rowan Tree" is a pleasant tune that works for many occasions.

Personally, I want "MacFarlane's Gathering" followed by "The Train Journey North" to play me out.

I love that scene!

I've always thought "Frank Sinatra - My Way" was appropriate for me.

I'd also like to go out like Kirk Douglas and the end of The Vikings

my kids are convinced they're gonna set my stereo(maybe a few of you recall seeing pix of it a few years back here) up next to the gravesite, and blast Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb with the volume set at 11 as my casket is lowered.
