Funeral Song

Linking in with Eden from Edenland for Funeral Songs as part of the Fresh Horse Brigade meme - this one touches just a little too close to home for me right now given my post from yesterday and, it is something I have never really thought about much.  I remember watching the funeral of Hansie Cronje (South African cricketer) on TV after he had been killed when the mail plane he was travelling in crashed, and the choir of the high school he had gone to had sung Ava Maria and I had thought that would be a lovely song to sing.

I do remember once when I was going through an Enja phase that I would like Evening Falls played :

When the evening falls and daylight is fading

from with me calls - could it be I am sleeping ?

For a moment I stray, then it holds me completely

Close to home - I cannot say.

Close to home - feeling so far away.





I  may just have to spend some time with my music and have a look to see what I would like (and make a note every 4 or 5 years to update it !!!)

I know I have used this TFTD before but I am using it today because it has a lot of relevance to me and my family right now.
