I've narrowed it down to The Only living Boy in New York by Simon and Garfunkel ( I'm obsessed with the weather forecast, only news I need)
And Raise Hell by Brandi Carlisle. Also something by Magnetic fields....Andrew in Drag probably not appropriate though...

Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley version

keffie12 · 09/12/2023 19:11

1/ Entrance 9 million bicycles in Bejing (The song I walked down the ailse to, to my late husband)

It was also played at my husband celebration of life service (Katie Malleu)

The choice is because I will be joining my husband again on that final journey

2/ Your beautiful (Phil Wickham) A contemporary Christian song with words of deep meaning

3/ Fields of gold (Eva Cassidy) also played at my late husband and I wedding as the final song

This woman's work, Kate Bush, and I wish I knew how it would feel to be free by Nina Simone.

Oh God that might actually be too sad. That scene in Handmaid's tale 😪 I was absolutely traumatised.
I want uplifting type of sadness, not total despair sadness.
