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.

 
1. "Cadillac of the Skies" - John Williams (from "Empire of the Sun")
2. "The Final Curtain" - Tony Banks
3. "Los Endos" - Genesis
4. "We Said Hello Goodbye" - Phil Collins
5. "Living Years" - Mike + The Mechanics
6. "Sky Blue" - Peter Gabriel
7. "Time" - Pink Floyd
8. "Skyline Pigeon" - Elton John
9. "Imagination" - Earth, Wind & Fire
10. "Golden Moments" - James Taylor
11. "I've Loved These Days" - Billy Joel
12. "Ribbon in the Sky" - Stevie Wonder
13. "B'Bye" - Chuck Mangione (from "Children of Sanchez" soundtrack)
14. "The Garden" - Rush
15. "Spectral Mornings" - Steve Hackett

Yeah, couldn't boil it down to one. Make it a playlist.

Remind me to eat beforehand.
 
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.
