- I Remember - Damien Rice
- Up All Night - Counting Crows
- Find The River - REM
- I Grieve - Peter Gabriel
And the ultimate song that HAS to be played - Man of the Hour - Pearl Jam
Honourable Mentions:
Set Me Free - The Kinks
Hurt - Johnny Cash (the problem with this is it sounds way too personal for him, and it would seem wrong in some way to have it played while I was going out)
Win One For The Reaper - Michael Giacchino (From the Lost soundtrack)
And I just dug out Joe's Garage and listened to Watermelon again damn, that's a good choice too.

Lots of great choices here. I would add
Angel- Jimi Hendrix
I Was Young When I Left Home- Dylan (although I could easily name ten more Dylan tunes)
Brokedown Palace- Grateful Dead (or Ripple)
But in the end there's only one for me:
Time, by Tom Waits
If that song doesn't bring a tear to your eye there's something seriously wrong with you. -

Don't Follow- Alice in Chains (anything by AIC would be amazingly appropriate)
The End- The Doors
Hurt- Johnny Cash
First Breath After Coma- Explosions in the Sky
I'll think of the fifth one
