Went to a funeral yesterday - were playing Whiter Shade of Pale. Thought that was an odd choice since it was open casket.

That's a hard question...I'm thinking maybe Taken By Trees' cover of "Sweet Child of Mine" or "The Box" by Johnny Flynn.
Somethin' like that.
Or, something really cool, like "Solid Slender" by John Lee Hooker. ;)

Robert Plant - Darkness, Darkness

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJhTSykO_Y0



:heart: GREAT song, choice call!!! I lit up your link that all could listen. Thanx for the memory ... flowerforyou

I MUCH prefer the original Youngblood's/Jesse Colin Young cover, though Robert Plant is one of my very favourite male singers. Ever heard it?

Give it a listen:

The Youngbloods
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-CYWbfFoXY&feature=related


Here's Eric Burdon's cover:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNDLd4hho_A&feature=related

Darkness, Darkness
Be my pillow
Take my hand
And let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your deep

Darkness, Darkness
Hide my yearning
For the things I cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Toward the things I cannot see now
Things I cannot see now
Things I cannot see

Darkness, darkness,
Long and lonesome,
Ease the day that brings me pain.
I have felt the edge of sadness,
I have known the depth of fear.
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away, take away the pain of knowing,
Fill the emptiness of right now,
Emptiness of right now, now, now
Emptiness of ri-ight now.

Darkness, darkness, be my pillow,
Take my hand, and let me sleep.
In the coolness of your shadow,
In the silence, the silence of your deep.
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away, take away the pain of knowing
Fill the emptiness of right now,
Emptiness of right now now now
Emptiness of right....
Oh yeah Oh yeah
Emptiness, emptiness
Oh yeah

Theres no time for us
Theres no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away
From us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever....?

Theres no chance for us
Its all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?

Who dares to love forever?
When love must die

But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today

Who waits forever anyway?

I can see clearly now - Johnny Nash

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkwJ-g0iJ6w

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I’ve been prayin?for
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Look all around, there’s nothin?but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin?but blue skies

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
