As a moody teenager I thought “A Feast of Friends” (a.k.a. “The Severed Garden”) was perfectly dark and profound to be the ultimate funeral song. Now I’m more inclined towards Van Morrison’s “Into the Mystic”

“Remember me” by Christie Hennessy. He was taken too soon from us. A hugely talented and lovely man.
To quote a line from Firefly:
