The bagpipe version would still be okay - but I can't stand hearing the lyrics of the hymn now without think of the where, when, and why it was written

Amazing Grace and Eagles Wings are the two I've always heard at funerals. I think Eagles Wings might be a Catholic thing? "And He will raise you up on eagle's wings..." I don't care for Amazing Grace, but I love Eagle's Wings.

We sing Eagle's Wings at my ELCA church.

Whoever said "Seasons of Love" - If you're going with contemporary music, I believe it's a good choice...a little "copycat", as that's one of the times it appears in the show, but still a good choice.

So do we. Boy, do we ever. Over and over. Week in, week out.

When I first heard it, all I could think of was John Ashcroft singing "Let the Eagle Soar."
