Well there must be something wrong with me. Every time I hear a beautiful slow rendition of this. especially with a trumpet Solo so loud and true and touching on all the right notes. my eyes shut tightly, i get a floaty feelin in the pit of my chest and my eyes tear up. and i have no option but to hang on every note He plays while I sway to the rhythm. You ever feel like that? It'd be a great honour to be put to rest to Beautiful music like this.
My son got me hooked on Treme. I used to tell my family to drop me off in the Needles section of Canyonlands, Utah. Beautiful wild country. Now, because of my renewed exposure to the musical culture of NOLA I tell em, when I go, you better second line!
Because New Orleans is below sea level. If you bury the dead and there is a flood, the people you have buried will become unburied. If you place your dead in the vaults (of various types) if the water rises, the bodies remain entombed, which is where you really want them to stay.
I first found out about the New Orleans funeral tradition from of all places a Bond movie-Live and Let Die. Then I heard Richard Pryor explain why the song changes from mournful on the way to the burial to happy on the way back. I think it went like this "We had a good time while he was here and we're still gonna have a good time."
how old are you? Nevermind here you go. Nobody is celebrating a death. They are celebrating a wonderful life a human being lived before moving on to glory. Simply put.
This beautiful song expressed so sorrowful full of burdens and pain But when this song finishes your soul will be comforted and you will feel stronger!!! A few tears help also Soothes the heart!!!
