A tribute to a friend

[Master Ghaleon]

My friend Adam died today from an accident about a week ago. He slamed into another car that had a bunch of my friends in there too. Adam was drinking alot from someplace and wasnt wearing a seatbeat. Half of his face was gone and he was getting better couple days ago, but something happened and his body couldnt take it anymore and died about 4 hours ago...

His girlfriend's last boyfriend died too, in a bungee jumping accident. The cord was too long and he slammed into the ground. I feel sorry for her to have 2 boyfriends die on her like that, tragic like that. So here is a song that I kept on playing for when my step dad died in april over and over again to help me through the pain.



Always uninvited
fuck off
unrespected, sometimes he creeps other times he's expected
He hangs out in bad neighborhoods up at thy park
he will strike in broad day light but prefers thy dark
Three little kids caught inside a burning home
he'll just sit there and wait for 'em
leave 'em alone!
As sure as we're alive today and death is inveitable
he's waitin' there watching through the eyes of a crow
fo' sho'
I know
yo


Death is always a shitty time
Don't bother trying to run and hide
Take his hand cross to thy other side (Step to the other side)

Freeway intersections when thy bars close, he loves 'em
Bluew out traffic lights?
He hovers above him
And he loves thy motherfuck out of crackheads and heroin
rehab centers and caring mothers always scaring him
Sharing them needles?
He encourages and raw sex?
They got him working and steady collecting soul checks
Then again
What?
Nine times out of ten, I wish he's take me
Instead of some of these poor children we see


Death is always a shitty time No where to run
Don't bother trying to run and hide No where to hide
Take his hand cross to thy other side
Step to thy other side! (Step to the other side)

He remainds nameless but we call him thy Wraith
He is thy 6th Jokers Card of thy Dark Carnival faith
That's it, now your clock is ticking, every second counts
and everyhting you do that right or wrong, it all amounts
And whether you going to heaven or hell
he doesn't care
he's only here to give you thy death touch
and send you there
Most people fear him
because they don't understand
that once he finally touches you with death eternity can begin
That's what thy fuck I'm talkin' about



Death is always a shitty time No where to run
Don't bother trying to run and hide No where to hide
Take his hand cross to thy other side
Step to thy other side! (Step to the other side)

RIP Adam
:(


Is there songs that get you through when someone that you know dies?

[Dechipher]

That sucks, man. I'm really sorry to hear about your friend. I myself don't have any songs I listen to, although Nothing Else Matters does get me through the tough times, as does some Final Fantasy music.

[Ich]

[I wrote up a much longer thing here, but I think it is too personal to post.]

In an actual response to your question, no, I don't really listen to music to cope with grief. I use it to change my mood when I'm depressed, but usually I cope with grief differently. Although I had "Come thou font" stuck in my head for a while after it was sang at my grandmother's funeral.

[Gerudo]

whenever im in a down mood, i listen to slow paced music with no lyrics...

i am sorry for your loss MG...

after reading this and Cloral's post a few days ago, there is a lesson to be learned...

WEAR YOUR DAMN SEATBELT!

:shakeno: :disgust:

[~cydlet~]

ck told me about the accident ... sorry to hear your friend didn't make it. that totally sucks. :(

as for your question, i don't recall being able to handle music when my mom died. (actually, i did very little ~ didn't sleep, didn't eat, didn't do anything, really, unless i was told to. Fortunately, i had some good friends around that kept tabs on me, and made sure i got out of the house and ate and all that. i started journalling a few months after her death, and that's helped some too.)

for general down-ness, the cure, selected counting crowes and other assorted oddities in my collection are the old stand-bys, as is the soundtrack to The English Patient.

Hang in there, man. we're here for ya!

[cyberkitten]

i'm so sorry that you lost him this way babe. *big extra long kitty hugs*
i tend to use music to keep me from falling into a deeper funk and to keep me from being emotional, even at times where it's appripriate to be emotional, because i'd rather hide what i'm feeling and deal with it myself, alone and away from other people.
if there's anything anyone of us can do, please tell us and we'll do the best we can.

That's exactly what I did when my mom died. People told me that was unhealthy--at least for my age--but I did it anyway, and I know they were right.

...I'm terribly sorry to hear that... That must be tough on you and everyone else.

When it comes to death, there's a verse from the song "Back on Earth" (ozzy) that I find very supportive... "Death is so final for only the living, the spirit will always remain..." That kinda brings me hope.

I have a lot of other songs that help through the rough times (Low Man's Lyrics, Stairway to Heaven, both versions of The Unforgiven, Santa Monica, I Just Want You, Nothing Else Matters, The Memory Remains, and whatever nameless songs I pull out of thin air and write down...)

[Tudorcat]

I am so sorry for you loss and I hope that you will manage to continue living without to many sad days.

For that song question - yeah nans song by robbie williams.

"Nan's Song"

You said when you'd die that you'd walk with me every day
And I'd start to cry and say please don't talk that way
With the blink of an eye the Lord came and asked you to meet
You went to a better place but He stole you away from me

And now she lives in heaven
But I know they let her out
To take care of me

There's a strange kind of light
Caressing me tonight
Pray silence my fear she is near
Bringing heaven down here

I miss your love I miss your touch
But I'm feeling you every day
And I can almost hear you say
'You've come a long way baby'

And now you live in heaven
But I know they let you out
To take care of me

There's a strange kind of light
In my bedroom tonight
Pray silence my fear she is near
Bring your heaven down here

You taught me kings and queens
While stroking my hair
In my darkest hour I know you are there
Kneeling down beside me
Whispering my prayer

Yes there's a strange kind of light
Caressing me tonight
Pray silence my fear
She is near
Bringing heaven down here

The next time that we meet
I will bow at her feet
And say wasn't life sweet
Then we'll prepare
To take heaven down there

[Master Ghaleon]

I shall thank you all for your support :) Since its snowed kinda hard here, his viewing is monday - day and night, then tuesday is his funeral. I would hate to lose a family member near the holidays.

Thanks again

[Prrkitty]

Dearest MasterG... my deepest sympathy for you, the family and friends associated. Death is never easy to deal with...

Music helps me thru anything... always has. I listen to a wide range of music... probably stuff most of those here don't listen to.

Hang in there honey... and like cyberbabe said... we here for you... and we'll help if we can.. BIG hug!!!

love you!!
Prr :kitty:
