Memorial Music: John Mayer's "You're Gonna Live Forever in Me"

John Mayer's latest album is revealing and deep. So we were excited to find within it great funeral music! With slight revisions made to the final stanza if you're using your own musicians (depending upon the circumstances), "You're Gonna Live Forever in Me" would be a knock-out closer to any memorial service.

A great big bang and dinosaurs
Fiery raining meteors
It all ends unfortunately

But you're gonna live forever in me
I'll guarantee, just wait and see

Parts of me were made by you
And planets keep their distance too
The moon's got a grip on the sea

And you're gonna live forever in me
I guarantee, it's your destiny

Life is full of sweet mistakes
And love's an honest one to make
Time leaves no fruit on the tree

But you're gonna live forever in me
