24. Won't have a funeral or a memorial.

Mon Mar 4, 2024, 03:08 AM

Mar 4

There isn't anyone left to attend, let alone take care of it for me when I'm dead!

Besides, I'd like to be 'planted' under a tree, so I can provide the nutrients for it to grow big and strong.
Green burial.

But if some sort of music had to be played, it would definitely be this. Because I'd like all of the spirits to get up and dance!

Come to think of it, I would want this one as well. It's my 'deserted island' music. If I could only have one song to listen to If I were stranded on a deserted island, this would be it.
