Answer 1

It's so hard to say Goodbye.. Boys II Men.. That's a good song.. But I doubt his parents want to cd full of depressing music.

Answer 2

sure?  But dont you want to CHEER them up.  These songs would make me depressed.  Put songs that the son liked and things that resembled him not these kind of songs.

Answer 3

ya perfect

Answer 4

yeah... when i get where im going is good

but dont do miley cyrus i miss you..its a little too much

these r rly good.  good luck girlfriend!!

Answer 5

Your a horrible person.

Their SON JUST DIED! They don't need to listen to depressing music, get a life!

Answer 6

How would you feel you son, daughter, or anyone important passed away. and you got a present REMINDING you that they just passed. not a very good idea. cheer them up not make them feel more horrible.

Answer 7

OK, first of all I'm gonna admit- I'm not really sure why you're giving songs to the parents of a deceased child, but all that aside I know two good ones:

'Goodbye's The Saddest Word'- Celine Dion

'If I Could'- Celine Dion

Just two that I know. Hope that they're alright.

Answer 8

personally, it's a beautiful thought but no! if my child just died the last thing i would want to hear was "let it be" or "i will follow you into the dark"

they will be sad enough, at this time i don't think they would want music to depress them more.

Answer 9

I think these are, sad rememberance songs; but they are probably going to make the parents want to write love on their arms if you get my drift. Nice thought but just think about the consequences they're going to be devastated and this is going to make them "depressed" even more so i think.

Answer 10

yes, these are very good songs. my grandfather just died, and i love to listen to those type of songs. also a good song by miley cyrus "i miss you" its great and doesn't sound like most of her "kiddish" songs. also, if the persons son JUST died you may want to wait a little while for them to recover before giving them the songs.

Answer 11

I really don't know if it is a good idea, different people deal with things differently.  I am simply going to stick the question though.  So Let It Be was written by Paul McCartney, it was about his mom, she died of breast cancer and let it be was always what she said.  So I think that is appropriate.

Answer 12

Your soundtrack is making me sad.  Is this a playlist for a memorial, or simply a CD you're thinking of compiling for the parents?
