Top Ten Songs To Put On Repeat Play At My Wake

Feb 27, 2008 13:23

Can't help thinkin about expiration dates once again, as yet another J-boy from Woo2's class presents his exit visa to the saints, departin' from his time on earth.

Though i've already made a list of songs like this that i must've put somewhere (agh, the story of my life), i put it publicly once more, and this time i'll even bookmark it, for easy updating.

Now, some of these songs may seem strange to be on this list, but somehow these songs evoke a certain mood for me, and it's my list, so just leave them there anyway. Sana na lang wala sa hiraman yung original when someone makes the mix CD!

1. My Back Pages - Bob Dylan
2. Love Minus Zero/No Limit - Bob Dylan
3. Spanish Harlem Incident - Bob Dylan
4. Into The Mystic - Van Morrison
5. When I Paint My Masterpiece - Bob Dylan
6. Rockin Chair - The Band
7. Christmas - The Who
8. Gypsy Queen - The Who
9. Pinball Wizard - The Who
10. The Weight - The Band
11. I Shall Be Released - Big Pink version vs. The Last Waltz version (your choice, kung ano bagay, either for cohesion or for effect)
12. Sa Aking Ama - my own song, one of the best i've written so far, yet nauulila in my catalog
13. Patay-Bingi - my own song, my best performance so far, and the story of my life too
14. Astral Weeks - Van Morrison
15. Love Minus Zero/No Limit live version from Don Pennebaker's Don't Look Back
16. Himig ng Pag-Ibig - Asin

Gusto ko nga sana isama ang "Dust in the Wind", pero medyo corny. Reserved para sa nanay ko yun, dahil isa sa mga pinanghehele niya sa akin yun nung araw. Oh, and you could also play the original albums from where these songs came, and even more from my collection of Neil Young, CSNY, the Grateful Dead, Elvis Costello, Johnny Cash, Jimmie Rodgers, Hell & TV, the Stax Vault (get it?) etc., dahil ang dami ko pang hindi na-include dito. Kaya ipagsasauli niyo na bago pa ako mamatay, mga hinayupak kayo. At hindi ko na rin iboobookmark ito, dahil kung totoo ko kayong kaibigan, maaalala niyo na ito; kundi man, ieffort niyong hanapin. Btw, for some of you, may nakalaan nang mga theme song natin na kakantahin ko sa mga eulogy niyo, kung sino man ang mauna sa atin. ayos? ayus.
