Decades I have lived..

Boomers have been fortunate we have lived in many decades. Decades I have lived:
1940s
1950s1960s1970s1980s1990s2000s2010sEarly 2020March to May 2020June to July 2020August to September 2020October to November 2020
Kidding aside, this is a sad time. As James Taylor said in a song, "I have seen Fire and I've seen rain, but I always thought I would see you again."  This year, I have lost two young nieces and a great-nephew. This is a miserable year as we cannot come together to grieve for those who have died. As we move to the last few weeks of 2020 here is a list of songs that are for all the people who have lost loved ones during this incredibly disturbing year.

The Saddest songs about death according to Google

1. “Tears In Heaven” by Eric Clapton.

2. “I'll Be Missing You” by Diddy, Faith Evans,

3. “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion` 

4. “Wake Me Up When September Ends” by Green Day. 

5. “Fire and Rain” by James Taylor.

6. “Hurt” by Johnny Cash. 

7. “Whiskey Lullaby” by Brad Paisley and Alison Kraus.

8. "Angel” by Sarah McLachlan 

9. “If Tomorrow Never Comes” by Garth Brooks

10. “Time to Say Goodbye” by Andrea Bocelli & Sarah Brightman 

Not all songs about death need to be sad, here are some upbeat songs

11. “Only The Good Die Young” by Billy Joel 

12. “Spirit in the Sky” by Norman Greenbaum

13. “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” by Bob Dylan
