Funeral music...

[LESStar58]

Dunno if it's been done or not.

Theres been a wedding music thread but was wondering what music folks would like played at their funeral.

So, if its been done....feel free to lock and delete, okay mods?

Personally, I think that when I go... I want people to celebrate my life and the kind of person I was. Sure, people will be sad (or so I'd like to think) when I'm gone but I want to be remembered for being a part of people's lives, not someone who "passed away". SO its with that in mind I'd have to have a mixture of slow and kinda sad with a mixture of upbeat and fast and happy!

* If I Ever Leave This World Alive- Flogging Molly
* Bring Me Sunshine- Willie Nelson
* The Room- The Living End
* When The Angels Sing- Social Distortion
* Grace Of God Go I- Flogging Molly
* The Likes Of You Again- Flogging

I've already arranged for "99 Nuft Ballons" sung in German, to be played as guests leave the Church.

Its the least i could do for my friends who will say "he was a merkin right to the end".

 

[newtownbluebags]

not for me personally but THROW YOUR ARMS AROUND ME by Hunters and Collectors would be a song I would choose for someone close....

"You Can't Always Get What You Want" - The Stones
"The Parting Glass" - The Pogues

[Bastard Squad]

I'm having Comfortably Numb at my funeral.

And if the funeral directors leave out the guitar solo at the end I'm coming back to haunt the bastards.

 

[carcharias]

Highway to Hell of course.

 

[millersnose]

the spagheti song by the wiggles

 

[hineyrulz]

november rain by the gunners or the end by the mighty doors or hell anything by the doors

 

[strewth_mate]

A mate of mine asked me to play 'Freebird' at his; either that or 'Afternoon Delight'

Machine Gun Fellatio's 'Pussytown' would be an interesting choice
or just for absurdity, something like the Scatt Brothers' 'Life at the Outpost'

but really it'd have to be something cheerful and upbeat otherwise there'd be no point

 

[Phillips]

cant beleive i forgot to add stairway to heaven by led zeppelin

 

[Red Bear]

Possibly Flame Trees - Chisel
Bro Hymm - Pennywise

 

[Misanthrope]

Josh Groban's rendition of 'You Raise Me Up' is a breathtaking song, it really is.

Myself. I want to have 'High' by The Lighthouse Family played at my funeral for personal reasons.
