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.

i think light years is a good choice, and if it was your first gut instict then there must be a reason for that.
Thanks guys.
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.
Arq is the sound of heaven to me- perhaps it can also be included
it is a beautiful hopeful sound

I think Come Back is beautiful ...
My thoughts are with you and your partner

I think Come Back was a good choice for such an occasion....I'm very sorry you had to do this today and I hope you're ok...

This one is perfect. My family has been listening to this one to get us through some hard times since my father passed at the end of Sept.
Not trying to change the subject to myself, but I hope this helps you: I lost my sister over two years ago but it's still like it was so recent. We became very close in the two years before her death. Closer than we'd ever been before. Long Road and Come Back are very sentimental to me for the reason being that they bring me back to my sister...I feel like their a way for me to communicate to my sister as they are the two messages that I would deliver to her given the chance. Come Back in Chicago 1 moved me to tears.

If I keep holding out
Will the light shine through?
Under this broken roof
It's only rain that I feel
I've been wishin' out the days
Oh oh oh
Come back
I have been planning out
All that I'd say to you
Since you slipped away
Know that I still remain true
I've been wishin' out the days
Please say that if you hadn't have gone now
I wouldn't have lost you another way
From wherever you are
Oh oh oh oh
Come back
And these days, they linger on, yeah, yeah
And in the night, I've been waiting for
The real possibility that I may meet you in my dreams
I go to sleep
If I don't fall apart
Will my memory stay clear?
So you had to go
And I had to remain here
But the strangest thing today
So far away and yet you feel so close
I'm not going to question it any other way
There must be an open door for you
To come back
And the days they linger on, yeah
And every night what I'm waiting for
Is the real possibility that I may meet you in my dreams
Sometimes you're there and you're talking back to me
Come the morning I could swear that you're next to me
And it's ok
It's ok, it's ok
I'll be here
Come back, come back
I'll be here
Come back, come back
I'll be here
Come back, come back
Oooooooo
Oooooooo

Just back from Seeing PJ in Adelaide, Melbourne & Sydney. I've mentioned this in other threads, but In Sydney Ed dedicated Light Years to my boy Sebastian. What a band. Lost for words still!
Thats amazing!
