note, which reportedly contained "a meditation on rapture, the hereafter, and the innate mystery of life", was not a suicide note but rather a diary entry or song concept. Her ashes were scattered into the Pacific Ocean after a ceremony organized by a few close friends at the Self-Realization Fellowship in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles. According to a 2006 Washington Post story, by the time of Sill's death, she had become so obscure that no obituary was published, and for many years, a number of her friends were unaware she had died. Influence and legacy Although Sill's music was not commercially successful, a number of later songwriters have been fans of her work, including Andy Partridge, Liz Phair, Warren Zevon, Shawn Colvin, Steven Wilson, Robin Pecknold, Daniel Rossen, Bill Callahan and Terra Spencer. She was included in The Billboard Guide to Contemporary Christian Music; her faith was debatable, but she made frequent use of Christian symbolism in her lyrics, combined with a "lack of sensuality" and the "denial of the physical". Her music has been described as "intensely devotional". Nick Lowe has said that "Jesus Was a Crossmaker" was an influence on his Brinsley Schwarz song "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding". A BBC Radio 4 programme titled The Lost Genius of Judee Sill was broadcast on September 9, 2014. The Okkervil River song "Okkervil River R.I.P." speaks of Sill as having died "in some trailer park of cocaine and codeine, all alone." Singer-songwriter Laura Veirs' "Song for Judee" on the 2016 album case/lang/veirs is about Sill's life and death. In an interview with CBC music, Veirs said of the track "We weren't sure we were going to track this one because not everyone in the band loved it. We recorded it on a whim and all fell in love with it. It's about a tragic songwriter from the '70s named Judee Sill. I love how the bouncy chorus offsets the darkness of her story." Singer-songwriter Aaron Lee Tasjan's "Judee Was a Punk" on the 2015 album In The Blazes is about Sill. Posthumous reissues and releases Terry Hounsome's 1981 book New Rock Record lists a Sill album titled Tulips From Amsterdam. Unsure of the information's source, Hounsome later removed the listing from his database. Sill appears on Tommy Peltier's Chariot of Astral Light (featuring Judee Sill), which was recorded in the 1970s but not released until 2005
