The Dirge and the Wedding Song

At my dad's funeral, they played Landslide by Fleetwood Mac. Now, my dad, my parent and a large part of who I was as a person, had just passed away suddenly. What those attending the funeral didn't know was, around the time of his death, the Dixie Chicks had made a cover of the song that was played on pretty much every station on the radio. Which, coincidentally, was my introduction to the song. So when I heard that being played, it rippedy heart out completely.

The reason I bring this up is there is a third rendition. One done by the Smashing Pumpkins. A version so beautiful that, should (IF) I ever get married, I want it played at my wedding. And, when (it's a solid when) I die, I want it at my funeral. 

Now this might sound really odd; but also take into the fact that Amazing Grace fits both occasions, as well as Somewhere Over The Rainbow. The joining of lives together and the loss of one are the two most significant things that can happen to you. Just short of having a child, any way. These three songs fit both occasions perfectly.

Honestly, I'm not sure where I was going with this, other than I've already picked out the songs for my funeral. So, there you go. Night.
