Awake at A Wake

Since the beginning of our discussions around the term "wake", one of my favorite movies kept streaming through my head. The Shipping News, starring Kevin Spacey (among others), is set in a small Newfoundland village. The movie has a fantastic scene at a wake of a local fisherman who had "died" at sea. Once I heard the lyrics from Tim Finnegan's Wake I knew I had to post this scene from the movie. I hope you can play it okay.
