Making a CD for my co-worker whose mom passed away

[wum]

I thought it should be upbeat but respectful too

here's what i got so far:

Sarah Mclachlan - Vox

Bob Dylan - Knocking on Heaven's Door

The Cranberries - Animal Instinct

U2 - With or Without You

Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence

not sure about the rest.

Discuss.

i think you should include some happy songs too, or not so much happy as upbeat.
are you wanting to make it by tomorow? or is there anyway you can investigate what kind of music he enjoys? say he likes country, throw down some shania.
songs that have no sort of meaning towards whats going on but are still upbeat can be great too. like ccr, hit up the majority of their music.
throw down some beatles.

Put some Björk on there and some Cranberries, you can't help but cheer up when you hear the Cranberries.
