I'm pretty firm on "Down to the River to Pray," and possibly "Amazing Grace," but not much else.

That's such a sad, story. Terrible for the wife.
I have already decided I don't want any memorial.

One reason my body goes to science is to avoid memorial services. Y'all are free to have a virtual wake.
If I had to pick music, it would be "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Of course we will have a virtual wake!
And today I'm thinking "I'll Fly Away."

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I had considered going to the concert last night, but didn't buy tickets since it was so close to post-surgery and I was afraid I'd fall asleep with my pain meds. Anyway, the selfish part of me is glad I didn't go. Even so, I keep picturing my friend and the chaos that must have happened. Much of the audience is made up of senior citizens and I'm kinda worried about some of their hearts. I just want to wrap Lisa up and make it better, but it is never that easy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have just decided on Bob Marley's Rastaman chant, pretty much because of the repeated lyric:
One bright morning when my work is over,
I will fly away home.
That'll do, pig, that'll do.
Since I didn't save the world a lot.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I have no objection to "Amazing Grace," but I'd like "Morning Has Broken" played at my service.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
One bright morning when my work is over,
I will fly away home.
That's what I said! Lyrically.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh, I want Amazing Grace, full bagpipe. Because I am that cliche'. My mom, though? Like Ginger's with Nearer My God, hated Amazing Grace, and did threaten to haunt me if I allowed it at her funeral. Which...she haunted me enough while she was here, I didn't want to risk it.
Dad was all How Great Thou Art, so that's what he got.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
If you're asking, I want "I Can See Clearly Now" at my service. But y'all have given me some great ideas. Although really not planning on dying any time soon.
