I've always told my better half and my family that Pearl Jam should be played at my wake and that will never change. This year unfortunately my father passed away and along with some of his own favorite songs I included "MOTH" and "Comeback" on the disc that we played at his wake.
one of my very close friends passed away a few years ago and was set to get Rearviewmirror(g.h's) for Christmas. but sadly passed away unexpectedly on the 21st dec.
at the funeral his family decided to play betterman and black.
fitted nicely and as a big PJ fan myself it will always be with me
Why Betterman?

In my Tree...Not for You...Long Road...YL... That would be sweet. I pray to the gods (bsg) that my family members and friends will do something like this. If they don't watch out, cause I'll be a haunting! Rockon you guys.
i grew up worshipping an older brother who was a massive pearl jam fan. the first show he ever went to opened with long road in 95. the last show he got to see in 2003 had long road as an opener too. we said goodbye to him with long road playing in the background.
without you something i missing, and we all walk the long road. truer words have never been spoken.
Would emphasize the idea that I'm not really leaving, just becoming one with nature.
wonderful way of thinking about it.
as for me, I'd like one of the bootleg 'Alive' versions, Given to Fly, Come Back, and a Yellow Ledbetter/Little Wing, it'd be beautiful and I'm sure I'd enjoy it.
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning

There's a constant ringing in my ears
Sense of humor's void and numb
And I'm bored to tears.......
And definitely Release.
