A Lifetime - Better than Ezra

Lyrics | Better Than Ezra lyrics - A Lifetime lyrics

A sad song about the tragic loss of a friend and keeping a promise... Very poignant, spontaneous, rebellious, and nostalgic. If I were to pass on, I'd like this to be one of the songs in the funeral playlist.

According to wikipedia:
"Lead singer Kevin Griffin says that the song is inspired by a story about the death of Gram Parsons: 'Gram's tale is just a great, romantic rock'n'roll story. His friend stole his funeral casket from LAX and took it down to 29 Palms and set him on fire as the sun came up ... and that's where I got the story of some friends stealing their friend's urn, and honoring the girl's true wishes, and going out to the beach one morning and listening to this R.E.M. song they used to listen to growing up as the sun was coming up. It was a way to make something both personal and dramatic.'"
