Just sitting at the cemetery… 14:16 - Jun 6 with 2049 viewshoppy

Our son would’ve been 11 years old today.

So just went to have a bit of quiet Dad / son time.

RIP CT x

What I wasn’t quite ready for was when I just got back in the car, turned the engine on to open the window, and the Bee Gees “Staying Alive” was playing on Radio Suffolk. Sad, but slightly amusing at the same time. CT must’ve had his dads sense of humour and that was from him, I suspect!

He’s on a roll… they followed that up with The Beatles - Help, and then Men at Work - Down Under.

I had a similar experience when I went back to work after nearly jumping off the 8 story works car park.
Just as I started driving into the car park, I could hear Van Halen - Jump

That's tough Hoppy.
Hope you and your family are OK.

Same goes for Shiney. Hope you've worked your issues out ok and are finding joy in life.

That doesn’t sound good… hope you are well over that period now. Glad you didn’t take Van Halen’s advice!

Yes I know it’s never easy… but at least I’ve never minded the bee gees! All the best

Hope you are feeling in a better frame of mind now Shiney. It's made me think of a great song by Barclay James Harvest called Suicide. It was written as a memorial to one of the band who took his own life. A sad but beautiful song. Sorry i can't do a link.

No words can relieve a parents pain on the death of child but music/songs can. What an appropriate song you heard as that’s what you have to do, stay alive but never forget. My mother still talks about my brother who was killed in an accident when he was 4, more than fifty years ago.

I was asked by my brother in law to select a piece of music for my sisters funeral.

She was a big fan of the bee gees when we were growing up and that was the first song that sprang to mind.

My sister would have seen the joke, tutted and told me that not everyone shares my sense of humour. I talked myself out of it and played‘Jive Talking’ instead.

I am sorry for your loss.

Good on you Hoppy. Got a mate who lost a child (miscarriage) and never have a clue what to say.

Such an impossibly hard subject but thanks for sharing and helping educate people on what must be a difficult topic.

RIP little one.

Just a little correction, Suicide was written in the mid-70s for the Octoberon album. And is a very, very dark song with some incredible lighter moments (As the protagonist stands at the top of the building, perhaps about to jump, he hears someone call out from below: "I heard a voice shouting "Don't jump, please for God's sake, let me move my car" - perhaps the most cynical line ever written). The song title has a ? at the end, leaving some doubt...
The band's keyboardist and fragile genius, Woolly Wolstenholme, struggled with MH issues for many, many years, and finally succumbed to the temptation to leave this world in December 2010. I miss him to this day, and always will.

Thoughts are with both of you mate.

Went to a funeral last year and the coffin came in to Going Underground by The Jam

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.
