Song for my sons funeral

jaselynch

Hey

Sorry this is a quick selfish post. My son Sebastian was born at 20 weeks gestation on the weekend and died just before his delivery. I'd like a Pearl Jam song at his funeral but just can't remember / have the capacity to think what song has the most suitable lyrics & feel. It's a tough one, he was a boy who hasn't lived a day of his life.

My initial thought was Light Years. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Thanks so much.

Jason

sorry for your loss, hope everyone is holding up ok.

i think light years is a good choice, and if it was your first gut instict then there must be a reason for that.

I am so sorry.

I am actually thinking Just Breathe would also be a good choice.
Some of the lyrics would apply to your son, some could be a way for the two parents to talk to each other and express support at this most difficult moment.

I am very very sorry for your pain and loss
Arq is the sound of heaven to me- perhaps it can also be included
it is a beautiful hopeful sound

Long Road might also be nice.

Dead Man Walking

Come Back
Man Of The Hour
Light Years

I have no idea how to link another thread but - Falling Down(Red Rocks)Morrison.Co is the thread. I watched the You tube video and thought of you - especially because of the lyrics - an amazing song. Heres the you tube video - hope it helps.

Words can't describe the pain you must feel. I think you made a good choice of song. I hope peace and happiness find you soon. Sorry for your loss.
