Before my mother died, we had one week in which to speak of the unspeakable, relive our moments together, discuss aka "argue" over her funeral arrangements and mend our past together. This was long before "ghost stories" really were en vogue in North America, and we spoke of what might lay beyond. She told me that she would come and let me know that she was alright and :-) I recall saying, "PLEASE! not in a scary way!". She told me not to worry... This was just before the arrival of winter and Christmas.
The summer came and I lost thought of that specific conversation. That is until one day while completely alone in the house and of all places to be, sorting clothes in the laundry room (unusual things can happen at the most mundane of moments), she fulfilled her promise. My thoughts were on the task at hand and little else, when suddenly, and very innocuously, this song came into my mind with extreme clarity. It was not a song I would ever think of yet was one that my mother particularly liked, and after hearing it play for me note for note, I knew she had come as promised. It's seldom heard on the radio, but when I do hear it, I know my mother is close to me.

Berlioz' Tristia includes a funeral march for Hamlet that I think is rather nice. I don't ever have a portent of death, but If I do I hope Berlioz will come through for me, although I suspect the Witch's Sabbath from the Fantastic Symphony will be the more likely music.

I'm at work and can't play the link you have on here, but one that does it for me Is Clapton's "Tears In Heaven". We played it at the end of my mothers funeral. I still get misty when I hear it. A lot of old standards remind me of my pop. We grew up listening to everything from Andy Williams to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. My brothers and I did turn dad and mom both onto Pink Floyd and some of our other rock favorites.

"Will the Circle be Unbroken"... Reminds me that when we all get to Heaven, family members that have been separated will all be together once again. The circle will be unbroken.
"Nobody Answers when I call your Name"... Just such a lonesome, I'm missing you song.
"A Picture of Me, Without You"... Lorrie Morgan.. such a sad, sad song.

I too tear up when I hear "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton , it was played at my 21 yr old daughter's funeral. "Who you'd be Today" by Kenny Chesney makes me cry too.
