Dancing in the Sky For the last five years, we’ve hosted a remembrance service in November for families who have lost loved ones. This year, as we watched the balloons float away during our balloon launch, a young lady, who had just lost her brother, asked if she could share a song with the group. We said yes, and she proceeded pulled out her iPhone and play a song that was special to her. As the song progressed, her family clung to each other, everyone huddled close, and people started hugging and weeping together. There wasn’t a dry in the group. At that moment, I was reminded how powerful music can be. The song the young lady played for us was “Dancing in the Sky” by Dani and Lizzy. I have never heard that song before, but now, I will always remember the first time I heard it. There are other songs that are meaningful to bereaved people, and I would like to share the first 50 on my list: 1.A Mother’s Prayer – Celine Dion 2.A New Day Has Come -Celine Dion 3.Always On Your Side -Sheryl Crow & Sting 4.Angel -Beverly Mitchell 5.Angel -Sarah McLachlan 6.Angels Among Us -Alabama 7.Angels in Waiting -Tammy Cochran 8.Annie’s Song -John Denver 9.Are You Alright? -Lucinda Wil-liams 10.As I Lay Me Down -Sophie Hawkins 11.Awake – Josh Groban 12.Baby Mine -Alison Krauss 13.Baby Mine -Bette Midler 14.Blessed -Elton John 15.Borrowed Angels -Kristin Chenoweth 16.Broken Hearted Me -Anne Murray 17.Broken -Lifehouse 18.Butterfly -Mariah Carey 19.By Heart -Jim Brickman 20.Can’t Cry Hard Enough -Williams Brothers (or Bellefire) 21.Cinderella -Steven Curtis Chapman 22.Circus -Eric Clapton 23.Dancing in the Sky -Dani and Lizzy 24.Do What you Have to Do -Sarah McLachlan 25.Do You Dream of Me? – Michael W.
