The song with lyrics would be more likely to be listened to because of the words and the length, and the background of the song's composition does make sense about various types of grief.

Hi, I listened to the two pieces, and personally, if I was in pain and grief, (which I have been on occasions) I would prefer the non-vocal which is the ## Symphony. They both are heartrending, but depending on my grief, the Aint no sunshine one does not call as closely to my spirit as the orchestral piece.

ah, good insight here. I'll have to keep thinking on this. Perhaps that is why I went with the classical song first.

Ain’t No Sunshine please! Really because I’m a lover of Blues, Soul, Funk, Jazz and Gospel. The only time in my life when I listened to classical music was for the first six months following my daddy’s passing - and classical was the only thing I could listen to. I suppose that fact would make it perfect music for grief, but since you mentioned that you’ve already used some classical pieces, I say go for the Soul!

Hey, Christine! Thanks for joining. And for your thoughts about the Music title. I appreciate your participation.

Hey--I only saw the Symphony of Sorrowful Songs option listed (56 minutes), not the Ain't No Sunshine piece (whose words seem to be about missing a girlfriend). Maybe just part of the symphony (like where the young girl writes about wanting the Virgin Mary to hear her?)
