Some songs of love, loss, and heartbreak. Why? Because I'm not happy. I lost a friend this week.

Love Me

What About Me?

Take It Easy On Me

Daddy's hands (For Grisham)

Leader of the Band (For Pop, who's still with us, but getting older everyday)

Any additions?

Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton

Angel, Sarah McLachlan

and the one that kills me, I Don't Want To Miss A Thing, Aerosmith (written by a fantastic songwriter, Diane Warren). So special then, so painful now.

When I get moody again I'll know where to come for a list. Some I already have.

These are truly great songs, that bring comfort and healing, too. thanks for the list, Neale. It's a great one!

One of my favorites is Blackbird, by the Beatles.

Nice collection. I'll work my way through it, and probably add some of it to the IPod.

Kearney:

Yeah, that whipper snapper rocks. Did you ever find any of his older stuff? Acid Bath. Dead Boy and the Elephantmen. Agents of Oblivion. And such. Some nice toonage in those bands.

Hope all is well with you and yours.

Rock On.

    I posted this one in KK the other day.

    I love this one by Foo Fighters.

    Dig by Incubus is a song that makes me think of my friends and make me grateful for what I have with them.

    Cemetery Gates by Pantera

    And while this Tori Amos song, Bells for Her, isn't about losing life, it's still about losing a relationship [losing someone regardless of how, still hurts].
