Jimmy Ate the World?

Say whaaa? One of my all time favorite songs that will be played at my funeral:

Jimmy Eat World - Hear You Me

There's no one in town I know
You gave us someplace to go
I never said thank you for that
Thought I might get one more chance

What would you think of me now?
So lucky, so strong, so proud
Never said thank you for that
Now I'll never have a chance

May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads the sleepless go
May angels lead you in

If you were with me tonight
I'd sing to you just one more time
A song for a heart so big
God wouldn't let it live

May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads the sleepless go
May angels lead you in


As if the music wasn't beautiful enough, the lyrics are golden. At first glance it may seem like a love song for a dying someone. But according to the forums, this is a song for two girls, Mykel and Carli, who died in a car accident. These girls were the leaders of the Weezer fan club and also helped bands who came to town. What an emotional tribute to such a tragedy!

Every time I hear this song I pray angels will lead in to heaven all my loved ones when their time comes. It also makes me want to go out and thank my friends and family for everything in case I "thought I might get one more chance".

Simply an amazing song.
