    Some of mine that I thought of at the top of my head:

    Johnny Cash - Danny Boy
    Coldplay - The Scientist
    Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah
    The Beatles - In My Life
    Joni Mitchell - The Circle Game
    Galaxie 500 - Blue Thunder
    The Postal Service - Such Great Heights

    What are some of yours?

    And of course:

    I just don't know what to do tonight,
    My head is aching as I drink and breathe
    Memory falls like cream in my bones, moving on my own.

    There must be something I can dream tonight,
    The air is filled with the moves of you,
    All the fire is frozen yet still
    I have the will, ooh, ah.

    Trumpets, violins, I hear them in the distance
    And my skin emits a ray, but I think it's sad, it's much too bad
    That our friends can't be with us today.

    Since the very first time I heard this song five years ago, I've always felt it would be perfect to someday usher me into nonexistence.

    Funny, I was about to say Do You Realize, but I think I'd have to go with this instead...

    Man, my friend's dad has this recording of Maynard James Keenan singing MLK by U2. It was recorded a few years back to play at the funeral of Maynard's friend's father. It's ****ing beautiful. I can't believe I can't find it online. That version is so much more beautiful and haunting than the original.

    Dreamer by Ozzy, followed by Orion by Metallica. Perfect ending for me.
