Let it Be
Mozart’s Requiem
They’re from both songs, to be precise. First appeared in WTCAG, then later in Believe, and even later in Chris’ Song, on the Handful of Rain album. I took that verse because of its impact, but the entire Believe lyrics are beautiful. In addition, it’s a very powerful ballad, finishing an even more awesome album.
But I digress. 
“Gone” by Jerry Cantrell. Definitely.
The S&M version of “Nothing Else Matters” by Metallica, because it’s my favorite recording of it.
“Fade to Black” by Apocalyptica. Metallica on cellos.
“Simple Man” by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
As people pay their last respects, “Little Wing” by Stevie Ray Vaughan.
