For another entry in our series on beautiful funeral music and songs on death, here, Swedish rock band The Soundtrack of Our Lives here performs “Shine On (There’s Another Day After Tomorrow)”, a rousing, hopeful song on death that urges recovery from grief, the living to celebrate their lives, including the days that are still to come. This song on death could make for fantastic alternative funeral music.

Shine on
There’s another day after tomorrow
There’s another day after the end

Shine on
There’s another day after tomorrow
There’s another life for you to miss

So young, so old
But you never run out of time
You’re beautiful
And forever to be found

Shine on
There’s another day after tomorrow
There’s another day after the end

Shine on
There’s another life for you to borrow
There’s another life for you to rent

So young, so old
But you never run out of time
You’re beautiful
And forever to be found

[Chorus]

Shine on
There’s another day after tomorrow
There’s another day after the end

Shine on
There’s another life for you to borrow
There’s another life for you to mend

Forever to be found
Forever in my mind
Forever everyone we have
We are

Shine on
