Songs someone could dedicate to a dead relative?

Question

My father died in January. It's about to be a year since he died and I'm going to go to his grave and listen to music and pour some Jack Daniels on it. (He asked my mom to, he loved that stuff.) Well I have a few songs I found, but not THAT many. So...anything would be helpful.

My cousin died four months after that. I grew up with her and she moved away a year and a half before she crashed her car.
So if you could find anything for that it would be great to.

No country or rap please. Kinda in the Rock area. Emo, indie, acoustic, pop, screamo, metal...you get the idea.

Oh yeah. I forgot to tell you guys that I'm not a religious person at all. So nothing about and god or anything. and Thank you guys!

Answer 1

Play songs that they liked when they were alive. Id rather someone play a song that they liked and that they have a good history than a sad song, celebrate their life, instead of bringing yourself down

Answer 2

Do you like Avril? If so how about "Slipped Away"

"I miss you
Miss you so bad
I don't forget you
Oh it's so sad

I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly

[Chorus]
The day you slipped away
Was the day i found
It won't be the same
Oh

Na na
Na na na na na

I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't ooooooooooooh
I hope you can hear me
Cause I remember it clearly

[Chorus]
The day you slipped away
Was the day i found
It won't be the same
Oh

I've had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why
And I can't take it
It wasn't fake it
It happened you passed by

Now you're gone
Now you're gone
There you go
There you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now you're gone
Now you're gone
There you go
There you go
Somewhere you're not coming back

I miss you"
