Back in 2009, Pallimed created one of my favorite podcast posts titled "Top 10 Contemporary Palliative Care Songs". In it, they made a list of "contemporary" songs from many different genres that have palliative themes. For todays podcast, we aim to update this list with songs that inspire, move, or make us think about geriatrics or palliative care.
As with the Pallimed post, this is all personal preference. So we would love to hear from you. What one song would you have included in this podcast if you were sitting in the studio? Put it in the comments section of this post!

We don't have a transcript for the podcast today, but here is the list of songs picked by our studio audience:
Alex Smith: Dennis Kamakahi - Wahine 'Ilikea
Jen Olenik: Let It Be by the Penn Med Ultrasounds
Leah Witt: Legacy by JAY-Z
Emily Taplin: Nick of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Kai Romero: Florence + The Machine - Stand By Me (yes, not the Ben E King version)
Anne Kelly: Warren Zevon - Keep Me In Your Heart
Eric Widera: I picked I Don't Want to Die in the Hospital from Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley band. I first heart it when I attended a great session at the 2008 AAHPM meeting titled Palliative Themes in Music: An Educational and Self-Care Exercise where I fell in love with it.

Swing lo, sweet chariot comes to mind.... But, in thinking of this, I cannot help but remember a long-ago interview I did with the late great Robin Williams, 'round the time of a stockmarket crash. With his spontaneous cleverness, he burst into song: "Swing low, sweet Dow Jones. Coming for to take away my home. ..look over yonder and what do I see (coming for to take away my home) Les Hinton coming after me, coming for to take away my home.
Recently heard Loudon Wainwright's "Homeless" about his grief after the death of his mother. It resonated with me as the anticipation of loss of a loved one undergirds so many of the palliative care conversations I'm involved in...
