For the first time the other night, I heard one of the songs (actually a spoken piece) from the Vin Scelsa broadcast of April 7, 2007, which I have always considered a Requiem for John. The music is When I Call a Name and only now did I realize that it is from the opening scenes of a 2005 film, Me and You and Everyone We Know. The lyrics somehow seem apropos and can be found below the link to the song on YouTube.
she: if you really love me, let's make a vow.
right here, together, right now. okay?
he: okay
she: alright, repeat after me. i'm gonna be free.
he: i'm gonna be free.
she: and i'm gonna be brave.
he: i'm gonna be brave.
she: good. i'm gonna live each day as if it were my last.
he: oh, that's good.
she: you like that?
he: yeah
she: say it.
he: i'm gonna live each day as if it were my last.
she: fantastically.
he: fantastically.
she: courageously.
he: courageously.
she: with grace.
he: with grace.
she: and in the dark of the night...
he: and it does get dark.
she: when i call a name
he: when i call a name
she: it'll be your name... what's your name?
he: nevermind.
she: let's go. say it.
he: let's go.
she: everywhere.
he: everyhere.
she: even though
he: even though
she: we're scared.
he: we're scared.
she: cause it's life.
he: it's life.
she: and it's happening. it's really really happening, right now...
