Pearl Jam's Future Days and the opening lyrics, "If I ever were to lose you / I'd surely lose myself" were a big part of the video game The Last of Us Part II, with thematic weight. In the game, the outbreak happened around the time the song was actually released, 2013, and live versions of the song were available.
In HBO's The Last of Us TV show, they changed the outbreak to 2003, so some say it doesn't make sense to use a song that wasn't around until a decade later. I don't think it matters. Joel could have heard it somewhere. It isn't like we've had a fungal outbreak, so who cares what year a song is from?
Still, if they want to replace it, there are plenty of good song. I thought Johnny Cash's version of Nine Inch Nails' Hurt would be a good choice. Johnny Cash passed away September 12, 2003. Outbreak day in the show was September 26, 2003. That seems fitting. And the lines, "I hurt myself today / To see if I still feel" and "What have I become / My sweetest friend / Everyone I know / Goes away in the end" also fit with the themes of the second game and second season.
This is just a quick mock-up with a bad midi guitar and vocals by Solaria, one of the vocal instrument Synthesizer V's voices, because it is past my bedtime! I don't think it sounds too bad. I might even dig out my guitar and finish it.
I think Ashley Johnson should do a version, even if it isn't for the game or show.

Hurt (as if sung by Ellie from The Last Of Us)

It's end of december
The closing of another year
You're still that same old sad, sad man
Time for some reflections

How much satisfaction do you feel
How much losses did you have to bear
But just one question you gotta ask yourself
Have you lived better than the year before

Another new year has come
3-6-5 days gone
You are getting older but no wiser

Your anxiety mounting
Wondering what's in store in the new year
Your astro sign foretells bad days ahead
The same old question that you gotta ask yourself
Have you been better than the year before

Another new year has come
3-6-5 days gone
You are getting older but still absurd
Another 8-7-6-0 hours gone
You are getting older but are you dimmer

Hey, it's about time
To straighten the thoughts in your mind
Release your anger and frustrations now

Another new year is here
3-6-5 days gone
It would be just right to be prudent

Another new year has come
3-6-5 days done
You are getting older but none the wiser
Another 5-2-5-6 hundred minutes gone
You are so much older but are you brighter now

Another New Year (feat. Kevin)

Get down on your knees
Show me what you would do for love
Perhaps then I might believe
That what you say is true
Your sugar-coated whispers 
With your equivocal designs
I gotta raise my alert high
To keep me from falling over for you

You cast your charms
I know I don't stand a chance
Now you and I
We're intertwined
We're two become one

You're so irresistible
You got me right where you want me to be
And, oh, I'm so fallible
I'm here waiting every night for you

So come inside of me
Let me show you the taste of sweet love
And then you'll believe our love
Is made in heaven
If you hear me softly moaning
It's my fire burning inside
You elevate my desire high
And now I'm in such insatiable state

You're like a wizard
I'm bound to your spell
Now you and I
We're intertwined
We're two now as one

You're so irresistible
Now I'm right where you want me now
I know I'm so fallible
Oh, I'm here waiting all night for you

Right where I should be
Where I long to be

(I am the one who loves you)

You're So Irresistible (feat. Natalie)

Verse:
My essence is yours for the taking
Come explore each corner of my heart
As the morning dawns, our love will approach euphoria
Together, we will rise to the bright, setting sun

[Chorus]
I give you my ass
I give you my tits
I'm giving you LSD and shrooms
I give you my mouth
I give you my lips
I wish we could
cum one more time
I Give You My Throat
I Give You My Throat

Verse:
I pull you close and kiss your dong
There's fire in your eyes, our candles burn strong
Side by side, as we lose control
we inhale the night, love will conspire
and you will enjoy my hole

[Chorus]
I give you my ass
I give you my tits
I'm giving you LSD and shrooms
I give you my mouth
I give you my lips
I wish we could
cum one more time
I Give You My Throat
I Give You My Throat

Bridge:
I hold your hand and whisper tender words
The unseen chords of passion burn
I'm so high I can understand the birds

"His Thumb In My Number Two" is the second single from Donatella's debut album. Donatella expands on the catchy melodies and rhythms that had the dancefloors moving to "Ass Ass Ass Ass" just a month before. The lyrics are brave and push boundaries. 

As far as I know, this was the first song to focus solely on the pleasures a single thumb can produce through the backdoor. Lyrically, the song was written completely by Donatella, and it shows because you can feel the words penetrate and share an experience close to her heart.

Donatella Velour - His Thumb In My Number Two

Verse 1:
I'm on my knees begging for your nectar
mouth open ready for your cum injector
I'll gobble you dry, leave you satisfied
But first, let me feel you deep inside
But first, let me feel you deep inside

Chorus:
fuck my mouth before you go-go
I grab that cock and watch it grow-grow
fuck my mouth before you go-go
take me in the rectum tonight yeah

Verse 5:
I'll take all of you in, every inch
I'll savor every moment, I promise I'll never leave you
I'll make you feel good, I'll make you feel alive
I'll make you feel like a king, I'll make you thrive

Chorus:
fuck my mouth before you go-go
I grab that cock and watch it grow-grow
fuck my mouth before you go-go
take me in the rectum tonight yeah

Outro:
So take me now (take me deep)
I'm yours to keep (I'm yours to reap)
Don't worry (about the sweet talk)
I'll suck (your fuckin cock)
