I chose the song You can let go now Daddy by Crystal Shawanda, at first to describe Jeannette leaving for New York. After listening to the song again, I realized that last few verses about the dad dying in a hospital bed, goes perfectly with when Rex Walls dies. Jeannette could not stand to see her father, the big, strong, Rex Walls hooked up to a bunch of machines that were breathing for him, knowing he would hate that. Jeannette felt that he would have much rather have died in the wilderness, not in a hospital bed. The same thing goes in the song, the daughter couldn't stand to see her father like that. In the chorus, it repeatedly says, "You can let go now, Daddy. You can let go. Oh, I think I'm ready to do this on my own." That is why I initally chose this song, because Jeannette said good-bye to her dad in Welch. But when Rex dies in a hospital room, Jeannette wished they could check out Rex Walls style one more time.
