Prop me up beside the juke box (if I die) Not that my wishes will be granted.



Well, I ain't afraid of dyin', it's the thought of being dead
I want to go on being me once my eulogy's been read
Don't spread my ashes out to sea, don't lay me down to rest
You can put my mind at ease if you fill my last request

Prop me up beside the juke box if I die
Lord, I want to go to heaven, but I don't want to go tonight
Fill my boots up with sand, put a stiff drink in my hand
Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die

Joe Diffie - Prop Me Up Beside The Jukebox (If I Die) Lyrics

I'm leaning toward Calling All Angels by Jane Siberry.


Pay It Forward - Calling All Angels - YouTube

It mentions saints and angels, but if a specifically religious song is wanted than maybe "Salve Regina", in large part because Hermann the Cripple legendarily wrote it. He's like one of the coolest pre-modern disabled people I know. Despite being disabled in the 11th c. AD he still managed to compose music, write treatises on astronomy, and do a detailed history of Christendom. I guess I particularly like the "Sister Act" version of Salve Regina though.

My own song, titled "Everybody's got to go". It's a really good song, but unrecorded, as I don't have access to decent musicians in my area.

Man this is tough...

I'd start with this:

Learning to fly - Pink Floyd (High Quality) - YouTube

then move into this:

Guns N Roses - Knocking On Heavens Door Live - YouTube

Then because this song means a lot to me:

DMB Steady As We Go - YouTube

Then as a message to my family and friends:

Tim McGraw - Please Remember Me - YouTube

And then finally in closing:

Louis Armstrong What a wonderful world HD - YouTube
