Hi my dear Hivean friends!

This is actually the very first time I am doing a Three Tune Tuesday post.
I've seen it pass by many times, and wanted to do one myself but usually, by the time I think of it, it's Wednesday, or Friday. Now, thanks to @blanchy's [post](https://peakd.com/hive-193816/@blanchy/three-tune-tuesday-the-local-pubs-playlist) with the same subject, I remembered and I thought it would be nice to do one now.

As some of you already know from my [post a few days ago](https://peakd.com/ctp/@misslasvegas/my-brother-a-good-bye), my brother passed away last week Sunday.
His funeral is today.
Back in Ireland, funerals were always something that happened really quickly, like within 3 days or so, but in The Netherlands, they take their time. In my brother's case, 9 days.

Since I am not in the Netherlands, and it wasn't possible for me to go, my sister had to deal with almost everything that needed to be done. I managed to help a little bit by writing a speech, and by helping choose the songs that should be played. Because my brother knew what was coming, although it still happened very quickly and unexpected, he choose two of the songs.

In the Netherlands it's quite custom to play anywhere up to 6 songs or so at a funeral. Songs that either meant something to the departed, or to their family.

My sister choose one of the songs, and I choose one. Together we also chose another one.
I will tell you about three of our choices.

# My choice & my daughters'- Waves by Dean Lewis

I had heard this song before. My daughters used to listen to it sometimes.
But that was a long time ago. My youngest daughter suggested it, and when I heard it again, I knew that was it. It seems to be very fitting remembering my brother when we were still kids.
Even though he was so much older, I still have the best memories of us from back then.

# My Sister's & My choice - Brother by Kodaline

This song already had me teary-eyed even before my brother passed but now we just made sure it'll be having me in tears every time I hear it from now on, and my sister as well.
It's just an amazingly beautiful song.

# My brothers' Choice - Het Dorp (The Village) by Wim Sonneveld 

This is a song that played at both my fathers' and my mothers' funeral.
And now it will be played at my brothers' too.
He chose this because he always thought it was a beautiful song about childhood and how free and careless it was. And about how the singer, as a child, used to think that it would never end.

There are other versions of it, and the original is French, sung by Jean Ferrat but this is the Dutch version by Wim Sonneveld. He was a Dutch singer and comedian but mainly a comedian.
He wasn't really known for his voice although it was beautiful.

There's something about the voice and the song that gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
You don't need to know Dutch to have basic understanding of what this song is all about.
You can feel it.

This very first Three Tune Tuesday brings back memories, and it's as emotional as it is beautiful.
My brother is never going to enjoy this music with us again.
I'm sad because not only can I not be at the funeral, I can't even watch it online, which the funeral home has arranged. I have to work. I couldn't take the day off.
So I am hoping to honour my brother a little with this.
