Title: What song would you have played at your funeral?
Post by: Pepoke on February 03, 2008, 09:44:07 pm
So guys, if you plan on having a funeral, what song would you have played at it? Like, right after the eulogy? Im not sure how many of you think of this, but you can die anytime, so youll have to make plans sooner or later.

I would have "Little Wing" by Jimi Hendrix played at mine. One of my favorite songs from him. If youve never heard it, I suggest you look it up or download it or something.

What about you? What song would help you soar the clouds, into the afterlife, so to speak?

I'll have to think on this one but to be honest I would probally have something happy to remind people of the good times rather than a depressing song.

Disciple's Anthem by Shabutie because I like to be weird.

Or Priest and the Matador by Senses fail if I commit suicide.

Or Cassandra Gemini by The Mars Volta if I want to be really weird and also piss people the fuck off. I mean, nothing makes you feel more guilty than wanting to punch a dead guy in the face.

'Taxman'- The Beatles. Because I'm a non-conformist TILL THE END (oh wait).

In all seriousness though, any of these;

The instrumental from 'She's so heavy', by The Beatles
'Planet Caravan'-Black Sabbath
'the Great Gig in the Sky' Pink Floyd
'the Slaughter'/'Omission' John Frusciante

I've never been a funeral with music, but I'd imagine my song would be  "The Rat Who Would Be King" by Matt Good, or, for something more upbeat, "Cemetary Gates" by The Smiths, 'cos Keats and Yates are on my side.

something like Bob James' in the garden. It's kinda sombre because... it's fucking Paschabel's Canon, but uplifting as it's a soft jazz version of it. and when I die, I wanna be sent away in style.

Also I cannot die so this question is somewhat useless to me.

Going Home - Sophie Zelmani.

Lyrics:

Not very often have we met
But the music's been too bad
Can only sense happiness
if the music is sad

So, I'm going home
I must hurry home
Where a life goes on

We're too old to make a mess
Dreams will keep me young
Old enough to stress
Only mirrors tell the time

So, I'm going home
I must hurry home
So will my life go on
Yes, I'm going home
Going home alone
And your life goes on

Dying Song

I'm going away, forever,
I'm going away, forever,
Never coming back this way,
Never coming back to this place.

What I need is a heaven,
What I really need is a heaven,
A place to go where I can really be,
A place to go where I can really be
Where I can really be.

Dreaming my life away, counts for nothing,
Dreaming my life away, counts for nothing,
But nothing ever is the end,
No, nothing ever is the end.

It's sure been a full life for me, yeah
It's sure been a full life for me, yeahh
It's sure been a full life for me, baby, its sure been a full life for me

I will have my funeral on a green boat and I will have my naked corpse strung up in chains in the ships mast while my family and friends mosh on the deck to the tune of Shipping up to Boston by the drop kick murphy's and my corpse will be dropped into the mosh from above and they can all mosh me into a coffin which will be loaded into a cannon and set on fire and shot through a pane of glass into the sea.

To be honest I have no idea, I wont really care because I'll be dead. I don't want it to be a long drawn out thing where everyone sits around and mourns and my coffin slowly trawls down a conveyor to be cremated or whatever. I don't want a service or anything. So far I would go for the Imperial March theme though, that does sound like a pretty badass way to go out.

EDIT: Ahaha, I read back over the topic to see what some other people put and man I DO NOT GET YOU GUYS SOMETIMES. Like this is really over my head that people would actually want some meaningful lyrical song shit at the funeral. What's the point, is it just to make you relatives sad or do you believe that your soul will be able to hear it and it will carry you up into the afterlife? For me it seems so pointless. It's not like I'll be able to hear it, it's not like it's a mark of respect. I think a funeral should just be for your family to say goodbye and get closure on the fact that you are actually dead and gone rather than making a long drawn out big deal over it. (Is it a last cry out for REMEMBER ME I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED.)

I just can't comprehend any reasoning behind it.

I swore after my Dad's funeral that I'd never have one that was sad and depressing, so you can forget your 'Tears in Heaven' and 'Wind Beneath my Wings'. I figure, why ruin a perfectly good song with sad memories?
