List a song so important to you that it can never be on a playlist

@trivema seems to get the concept.  I take it further and actually have a playlist for my wake.  Why would I want to lie around / have a gathering and play bad  / uplifting music?  

@milo0812 

Jackson Browne wrote These Days when he was just 16yrs old. Also love Gregg Allman’s version.

"Don't confront me with my failures, I'm aware of them."

Jackson's original version of the closing line ended, "I have not forgotten them."

@trivema  and @milo0812  Funny how several of us chose Jackson Browne. It's a tossup for me between Rock Me on the Water and The Pretender.

Sure I don’t have playlist one anyway….

Jackson B - Looking East from solo acoustic 

and of course Downhill from Everywhere 

I am blessed to be able to see and appreciate the real meaning of downhill from all three of my music rooms…

@jeffseight  I love Today — truly beautiful song.  I’d add When we are Dust by Fleetwood Mac. 
 

@fastfreight  when I think of my wake, I go to music that I love that others might not, especially in the context.  Sort of my last chance to be annoying, but in a funny, very me way. So maybe FZ’s Billy the Mountain on a loop, with lyrics handed out to a sing along.  Whoever nails the Flo and Eddie harmonies in the outro gets my system. I need to add a codicil to my will.
 

My wife thought that was hilarious until I told her I was serious.  Then she got upset, but I pointed out I’d be dead anyway, so she’ll control the set list.  She found that a comfort.
