I tip my hat to you, Mr. Harper, as you say, it has real meaning for musicians, their families as well for the listeners. Respect, hope everything goes as planned.

Eno and Byrne’s My life in the bush of ghosts is full of various voices from all over the world (radio, prayers, field recordings and whatnot) but this instrumental is my favourite:

Rest in peace, Val Kilmer. What a fine actor. Soundtrack to a movie Top Secret is released on RSD in ten days. First half Val Kilmer singing, second half composer Maurice Jarre.
