Believe by Brooks and Dunn

[The Eldritch Mr. Shiny]

Richard Shindell - "Reunion Hill"

version 1 | version 2

[Blood stained Sunday's best]

This song always brings bad memories boiling up to the surface. Its not a very well known song and the only version I could find on youtube was some kind of final fantasy tribute video....

Enjoy!

[Blood stained Sunday's best]

Oh and you can't beat Imogen Heap with Hide and Seek for song most often played during a funeral on a teen drama....too bad they did some kind of butchered rap remix using this song....

"Mary" by Patty Griffin

[Headmutant]

"Hero of War" by Rise Against.

[Júlíus Árnason]

Whistles the Wind by Flogging Molly.

Into the West from the Return of the King soundtrack, performed by Annie Lennox.

Epilogue by Apocalyptica. Especially when you realize that it was written for the final act of a Crime and Punishment production. That last scene in the book always kills me.

[The Eldritch Mr. Shiny]

I don't know about bittersweet, but this song brings up some painful memories, for me at least.

Radiohead - "Reckoner"
