Losing Loved Ones Mixtape

[copenovember]

I posted this in recommendation but wanted to see if it could get some opinions in other forums. I had a family member pass away recently and was wondering if anybody knew some good songs to put on a mixtape. Thanks

Just because they named their song after me doesn't mean I'm dead.

[punklet2101]

Haha, I know, he is terrible.. but that's a song about losing loved ones. I just always think of that because it was played at a friends funeral.

My heart truly goes out to you as my brother died last September. Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton is a really good one. So is Find Me In The River by Delirious?.

I did a search for "music when you lose a loved one" and I found this string. Glad I did. I hope you don't mind, but not all my songs are going to be Punk or Emo.. they're just songs to help a broken heart.. they've helped me. My boyfriend of 8 years and fiancee just passed away a month ago. Fucking pain like I've never known.

Just a note: I think the Police did "every Breath you take" which Puffy borrowed from.. but it wasn't about loss.. it was about stalking someone:

"Every breath you take, every move you make...... I'll be watching you."

For anyone else who comes upon this string in the future, here are my add-ons:

See you on the other side -- ozzy ozborne (This is more of what they would be saying to us who are grieving)

Alter Bridge -- In loving memory of
3 doors down -- here without you

[kidblink]

promise of redemption. everything and anything.

[organizedchaos]

DCFC- What Sarah Said.

It's all I listened to after my uncle died last Christmas.

[heeeeeey]

The Format - At the Wake
most of Copeland's Beneath Medicine Tree is about sickness/impending death.
"Take Care," "Testing the Strong Ones," and "When Paula Sparks" are pretty good

[emoishardcore]

certainly not emo or anything but one of my favorite songs was always

pennywise "bro hymm"

[SwishMX48]

Iron and Wine - The Trapeze Swinger
Gives me chills everytime

Copeland - Every Breath You Take
A beautifully done cover

[SwishMX48]

promise of redemption. everything and anything.


Yep.

Strays Don't Sleep - "For Blue Skies" for realz.
