Even now…I remember all the empty spaces
You filled with love
Even now…Every corner of the world we shared
Is still filled with love
Even now…not a day goes by
When I don’t ache for you
Through my tears I still hear your laughter even now Read more

Dear john I knew you
About as well as anyone
We were the wild ones
So sure those days would never end
Now they’re only memories my friend
Dear john I’ll see you
Someday again
I swear I saw you
On a crowded street today
I almost called your name
Thinking of all those yesterdays
Heaven help me
How I miss my friend
Dear john I’ll see you
Someday again
There’ll be a celebration
When all will be revealed
We’ll have a reunion
High on a hill
Dear john how are you
God know it’s heaven where you are
Find some peace there
May it never end
Dear john my heart knows
We’ll meet again
Dear john I’ll see you….
Someday again
Unlike many songs about death, “Dear John” seems to have a happy mood. The song starts with guitar strumming at a light and lively tempo and the Styx sung it just like they would sing a happy country song. Why is that? The singer was singing about the way he is missing his dear friend John who have just passed away. His memory of John is so much still alive that he felt he has seen John among the crowds and even called his name only to realize that he is only just imagining it. The song has a sprightly tempo because the singer knows that someday he will again see John and spend time with him. This sounds like the Christian doctrine of the resurrection when the two will meet again ‘high on a hill.” The singer also assumes that John is now happily residing in heaven where all his problems and stresses are all gone. This happy and hopeful thought is reflected in the way the song was performed by the Styx. There are more funeral songs that celebrates life at www.songmeanings.net.

Time passes by so quickly
But I guess I thought you’d be here forever
I never even had the chance
To say goodbye
There’s so many things to tell you
Left unsaid until now
Can you hear me when I talk to you
Do the words I say ever make it through
Can you hear me when I talk to you
Cause I’d give anything if I just knew Read more
[Sarah:]
I don’t have to say
A word to you
You seem to know
Whatever mood
I’m going through
Feels as though
I’ve known you forever Read more

Green Day may be one of those bands that does not hold real stellar promise due to its defined genre (punk rock), which proudly considers itself apart from the popular mainstream. But this band has written songs that took their prestige to a whole new level. These songs are no doubt going to be timeless in the next generations. Ironically, the type of songs that often stuck in the standard enduring playlist are those with themes that often teach people how to write eulogy. The sadder these songs are, the more people would listen to them. Read more
