The Morbid Post

So, I'm feeling tugs of my own mortality, kids. I heard the original of this song the week after my father passed away. While I don't really describe my dad as Emo, per se, I think he would have liked the tune. Every time I hear it, I think of him. However, lately, I have been thinking about life and death, probably due to my turning 40 soon. Very soon. Too soon.

If I do pass on, there is something that I would really, really like. I'd really like my daughter to sing this at my funeral. Honestly, I would miss her most of all. Sod the rest, since the material crap doesn't matter. To me (and every Father should agree with this sentiment), she's perfection.

"Cancer" by My Chemical Romance. Acoustic. Haunting. Love the guitar work here. It's why I want it played.

Happy Sunday.
