Hear that female twang walking over Prine's solo chorus just a lil' bit? Mahvelous.

"Please Don't Bury Me"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEhqzOeJnto

Woke up this morning
Put on my slippers
Walked in the kitchen and died
And oh what a feeling!
When my soul
Went thru the ceiling
And on up into heaven I did ride
When I got there they did say
John, it happened this a way
You slipped upon the floor
And hit your head
And all the angels say
Just before you passed away
These were the very last words
That you said:

[Chorus:]
Please don't bury me
Down in that cold cold ground
No, I'd druther have "em" cut me up
And pass me all around
Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears
If they don't mind the size
Give my stomach to Milwaukee
If they run out of beer
Put my socks in a cedar box
Just get "em" out of here
Venus de Milo can have my arms
Look out! I've got your nose
Sell my heart to the junkman
And give my love to Rose

[Chorus]

Give my feet to the footloose
Careless, fancy free
Give my knees to the needy
Don't pull that stuff on me
Hand me down my walking cane
It's a sin to tell a lie
Send my mouth way down south
And kiss my ass goodbye

[Chorus]

Christians still wait.

Far more beautiful. Pergolesi was dying of tuberculosis when he composed this.

So you don't have a musical soul then?

What that means, VT, is that while drinking coffee, reading the news, and considering some of the things written on this forum while observing thoughts passing through consciousness, the music playing through the link that you provided was a rather pleasant experience within a context never to be precisely repeated, much like life. Call this meaning what you must, if you must, as you musted (had to) when ignorant through omission of my soulful involvement in this moment.

Can't blame people for 'misunderstanding' you when you talk in gibberish.

The meaning is always there plain as day and close.
If it was a snake it would have bitten* you.

* It would have bit a pedant, who then would have been bitten.

The one Stabat Mater never surpassed by any composer.

...an extract Cujus animam gemetem
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFedX9b6jlQ

and the same part by Rossini which is also excellent and probably better known but sounds too operatic to really fit the subject.

Andy Williams, really??

Fritz Wunderlich is regarded as one of the greatest tenors of the 20th century. It was a major tragedy that he died at the age of 36. There isn't a single voice like his around today.
