There and Back Again

Song in my head: Forbidden Love (Madonna)
Pondering: A wedding is a funeral where you smell your own flowers. (Eddie Cantor)

A few days ago I was working at an offsite location. I was conducting an examination at a public works corporation yard and as I was walking to the conference room from the locker room, I passed by the mechanic’s shop. The radio in the shop was playing and tuned to a radio station that was taking requests from listeners. The DJ was inviting everyone to call and make a request. Request the song that you want played during your funeral.

The song I thought of immediately was Home by Depeche Mode. It’s not even fitting.

Yesterday, I thought of a second one - God Only Knows by The Beach Boys though now that I think about it, it seems vain to play that during my funeral. It would almost be like assuming people would not know what to do when I’m gone.

Then today, I just thought of a third one and probably my final answer. In My Life by the Beatles. Yeah, that’s my request.
