What song(s) would you like played at your funeral?

[DainBramaged]

If you don't care, fine, but I was just wondering if you had any particular song that you'd like played for your funeral. Not that you'll care. :laugh:

I would have these three songs played:

Vivaldi - Sonata for 2 Violins and Continuo "La Follia" op 1 No 12,R V 63 in D minor
Pink Floyd - On The Turning Away
Nine Inch Nails - Leaving Hope

Not a song, but music - Erin Shore. I just like the sound of it.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Hell's Bells?
Crazy Train?
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath?

I want my funeral to be a party, so I'd have to go with Cotten Eyed Joe. :laugh:

Social Distortion - Angel's Wings

Interesting thread even though I'm not really a fan of this new tradition of playing songs at funerals.

Maybe Rush's Ghost of a Chance. The Rolls the Bones album wound through my rotation the other day and I thought about just how much that song reflects my own personal worldview. It's the most beautiful rock song ever IMO.


edit: the song is about chance, free will, the rare beauty of love (for those who create it for themselves), and the refusal to believe in anything supernatural, pre-determined, or mystical to those who aren't aware of the lyrics BTW.

I'm considering The Thrill is Gone or Knockin' on Heaven's Door among several others.

Big Manson fan?

 

[K1052]

Tom Petty - I Won't Back Down

 

[flxnimprtmscl]

Slipknot - Wait and Bleed. Great song

Honestly I have no idea. When paired with a funeral every song becomes either too sad, too cliche, too inapropriate, or some combination of those. F*ck it, I'll be dead. Let it be someone elses problem.

More soundtrack than funeral. A+ for effort, though. Europe FTD??
