What Is Your "Eternal" Walk-off song?

Whenever I drop my daughter off at the end of a visitation weekend, this is the last song I play in the car. We sing along and hold hands during the end (We'll always/Be together). So I'd like to give her a little bit of comfort that I'll still be waiting on the other side.

The Raiders march, extended version. All of this is in my will, I'm afraid.

My lovely wife would think, "The '59 Sound" by The Gaslight Anthem is weird. It probably is.

But I think I'd like "The '59 Sound".

And I think my daughter's Grandmama (RIP 16 years now) would've played it on her radio.

I was reading the comments on a song I listened to on YouTube (you'll always see a "Now THIS is music!/They don't make music like THIS anymore!" regardless of the song) and one commenter said they put together a playlist of her departed loved ones favorite songs for the wake/reception after the funeral. That's a good idea. People would wonder if they ever really knew me if I did that. Once shared my Ipod playlist with a woman I was seeing and she said - "ummmm, country, and Broadway music?" in addition to my bread and butter of rock, R&B and jazz. I grew up listening to top 40 in the 70s. It was all there.

Take it calmly and serene,
It's the famous final scene ...

And this one, of course ...
