Let's start the week on a cheery note -- songs about Death! (Maybe second only to Love as a song subject)

It's hard to write a funny song about death... but this one does it.

Sad, beautiful song by a great troubadour.

One of the first songs that made me fall for Joan. Then I listened more carefully....but I didn't stop loving Joanie.

Sorry about the picture...

Love the piece, love the rendition. My wife loves requiems, and introduced me to either the Faure or Verdi before we got married. I didn't get it. Then one day, I stumbled across this one on youtube and have loved it (and Faure, Verdi, Brahms, Mozart. . .) ever since.

This is one of my favorite songs from Blondie. Music certainly goes with the lyrics:

Perhaps we can find a little something to bring a smile??

Lawdy miss Clawdy the English have some tearjerkers about dying. this one's about a girl pregnant by some rake who decides to end it in a hunting "accident." Eliza Carthy milks it for all it's worth.

 

[Bigboote]

Another from those depressing Brits. This one dies of a broken heart.

Hokay, mon, one more. Golden-voiced Modwesterner Connie Dover with an American version of a Child Ballad about a woman visited by the ghost of her lover. With a twist.

 

[Hoops66]

Listen to this. From one episode of "Good Behavior" it's pretty haunting. About death? Yes, I say.

Sorry that I couldn't remove the non singing stuff...but I really, really like this version...


And I normally will not watch these types of reality shows...

I can't hear that song anymore other than Cartman singing it in an episode of South Park.
