belle Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 My 16 year old dog passed away yesterday, after struggling for a long time. He always was like a brother for me, certainly if you know that I'm only 18, so ever since I could remember, he had been in my life. But now the question... Do any of you know any songs about grieving over someone? (Dog or Person, because he was more than just a "pet") Just anything dealing with the death of someone... Modern or old, any genre, it's all welcome. And please don't answer with "he's just a dog, get over it" because I will never be able to. He is not just a dog, he was my lil' bro.

_Laurie_ Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Shannon Henry Gross ** FYI: Shannon is a dog ** Another day's at end Mama says she's tired again No one can even begin to tell her I hardly know what to say But maybe it's better that way If poppa were here I'm sure he'd tell her Shannon is gone I heard She's drifting out to sea She always loved to swim away Maybe she'll find an island With a shaded tree Just like the one in our backyard Mama tries hard to pretend That things will get better again Somehow she's keepin' it all inside her But finally the tears fill our eyes And I know that somewhere tonight She knows how much we really miss her Shannon is gone I heard She's drifting out to sea She always loved to swim away Maybe she'll find an island With a shaded tree Just like the one in our back yard Ah.... Just like the one in our back yard Ah.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Hi melancholydemon Welcome to Songfacts! how about "Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 And please don't answer with "he's just a dog, get over it" ... Most of us have pets... we won´t say that. Like Earth-Angel said some years ago, on two legs or on four, they´re family. Welcome to Sngfacts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvish Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 How about Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" or maybe "Time In a Bottle" by Jim Croce... I'm very sorry about your dog, melancholydemon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother -Written by B. Scott and B. Russell -Peaked at #7 in 1970 as performed by the Hollies -Peaked at #20 in 1970 as performed by Neil Diamond -Peaked at #30 as the B-side to "Let It Shine" in 1976 as performed by Olivia Newton-John The road is long With many a winding turn That leads us to who knows where Who knows when But I'm strong Strong enough to carry him He ain't heavy, he's my brother So on we go His welfare is of my concern No burden is he to bear We'll get there For I know He would not encumber me He ain't heavy, he's my brother If I'm laden at all I'm laden with sadness That everyone's heart Isn't filled with the gladness Of love for one another It's a long, long road From which there is no return While we're on the way to there Why not share And the load Doesn't weigh me down at all He ain't heavy, he's my brother He's my brother He ain't heavy, he's my brother...

logan01 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Hi there melancholydemon. I'm very sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved Samson. As you were fortunate to have shared all those years with Samson, he too was very lucky to have had your love. You've received some really nice suggestions from the good folks here at songfacts.com. You couldn't have come to a more caring bunch of people and I hope everthing works out for you. No doubt it will take some time and if you feel like talking or whatever, drop us a line. We'd love to hear from you. In the meantime, you have have our deepest condolences and we wish you nothing but the very best. Take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 If you want to look back on his life in a positive manner, try "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" by Led Zeppelin. It's one of the best tributes there is to a dog. I sing it to my little terrier a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexybabe101 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Im REALLY sorry about your dog. It sucks to be grieving. I lost a friend this past week. So I know all about grieving at the current moment. And Monday (the 19th) will be 2 years since I lost someone really close to me. So yea Im pretty beat down right now also, but thats ok bc I know we will all make it through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Roger Clyne wrote this song after his best friend passed away... Ashes Of San Miguel I spun a bottle on the map to tell us which way to go now we´re hellbound south into Hermosillo got the ashes of my best friend in a cremation jar on the shotgun seat of the car got the top chopped off got the windows down one last tour through our happy, happy hunting grounds though we never made a kill, that was never really what we came down here for so give me a sign, amigo can you tell me did you go down laughin´ when you finally fell we had tales to tell and songs to sing did you get your horns or did they give you wings either works just as well ashes of san miguel well it´s a hundred and one under this fanatical sun them black-eyed federales drippin' sweat on their machine guns sayin', "...drive on slow, gringo, you ain´t as savage as you think you are..." I bought a box of firecrackers and liquor to go vamonos, amigo para BahÃa Kino everything´s here I got the pesos and the beer still ain´t no sign of your ghost chorus the desert´s lovely, dark and deep and I got no more promises left to keep but why tell me why I gotta drain a bottle dry before I can cry before I can cry over you there´s bones on the beach and there´s ashes in the jar ghosts in the air laughin' at us fools at the bar and somewhere inside this river don´t run to the sea no more life is cheap here and death is rich and he finally got you, lucky son of a bitch and if I could do it again I´d cry aloud at your hospital bed if you're interested, go to Roger Clyne's web site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
