    My dear little sister wanted this to be played in her funeral. So we listened this on her grave 26.8.23. Rest in peace Kaisu, my lovely, wild and intelligent sister. Nothing compares to you. May God bless you.

      ph8349, I am so sorry for your loss.
      My daughter Birka didn't tell about her wishes regarding music to be played in her remembrance service. She silently went away and took her own life in the midst of norwegian nature 09.09.23. Since she was a big Bowie-fan, Absolute Beginners or Heroes would have suited well. Years ago she had drawn that avatar I am using here. I will miss her to the end of my days.😭

    This song is carved into my heart. My wife and I saw it on our first date. The movie was crap but we kissed continually for 90 minutes to one of the best soundtracks ever. Because of this song I'll never forget it. Thank you David for the memory. Tell Jesus I'm sorry and I'll see you both soon.

    As long as we're together
    The rest can go to hell
    I absolutely love you
    But we're absolute beginners
    With eyes completely open
    But nervous all the same
    If our love song
    Could fly over mountains
    Could laugh at the ocean
    Just like the films
    There's no reason
    To feel all the hard times
    To lay down the hard lines
    It's absolutely true
    Nothing much could happen
    Nothing we can't shake
    Oh, we're absolute beginners
    With nothing much at stake
    As long as you're still smiling
    There's nothing more I need
    I absolutely love you
    But we're absolute beginners
    But if my love is your love
    We're certain to succeed
    If our love song
    Could fly over mountains
    Sail over heartaches
    Just like the films
    If there's reason
    To feel all the hard times
    To lay down the hard lines
    It's absolutely true
