What songs do you want played at your funeral?

Here are mine:

-See You On the Other Side (Ozzy Osbourne)
-Teahouse Moon (Enya)
-Free Bird (Lynyrd Skynyrd)
-The End (The Doors)
-Seed of Memory (Terry Ried)

And probably some more. How 'bout you?

 

Shine-collective soul
Shambala-Three Dog Night
The Wind-Cat Stevens
Dont Follow-Alice In Chains

 

The End is EXTREMELY cliche... but... I want it played at my burning anyways. And also This Will Be Our Year by the Zombies and Grow Old With Me by John Lennon. I know the last two are probably confusing you, but if I were to die right now, I'd want them to play while a certain person watches...

 

In my time of Dying-Led Zeppelin
Planet Caravan-Black Sabbath
Any Color You Like-Pink Floyd

 

apocalyptica would be nice

 

Knockin On Heaven's Door-Bob Dylan

His songs will be serenading my life cause I want 'Forever Young' to be played at my wedding too..

 

Those. Especially Free Bird.

Also:
"Imagine"-John Lennon
"What A Wonderful World"-Louis Armstrong
"Bitterseweet Symphony"-The Verve

 

Shine On You Crazy Diamond- Pink Floyd ​

 

Mourning Air, Portishead

 

Just Passing Through - The String Cheese Incident

"It's a sweet short ride through a beautiful place, if you can't dig it, it's a real disgrace."

 

califorina waiting-zeppelin

 

There will be no music.

I will be burnt in the open air, on a wooden pyre. My ashes will be put in a small wooden chest, which will be buried beneath an unmarked, big old tree.

 

Brokedown Palace

Fare you well my honey
Fare you well my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Have flown except you alone

Goin to leave this Broke-down Palace
On my hands and my knees I will roll roll roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside
In my time - in my time - I will roll roll roll

In a bed, in a bed
by the waterside I will lay my head
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul

River gonna take me
Sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy
all the way back back home
It's a far gone lullaby
sung many years ago
Mama, Mama, many worlds I've come
since I first left home

Goin home, goin home
by the waterside I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul

Goin to plant a weeping willow
On the banks green edge it will grow grow grow
Sing a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go - the river roll roll roll

Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul

 

i love this thread! i've always thought about stuff like this, and people always think i'm a weirdo because of it. anyway...

sweet baby james- james taylor
the end- the doors
this song my ex boyfriend wrote for me
walk away- ben harper
freebird- lyn skyn
every breath you take- sting

i think its a pretty cliche list, and i bet a lot of them wont even make sense. but thats my list anyway.

 

just passin through would be pretty cool... i want free bird also, but only after some hlaf drunk guy yells "play free bird!"

 

City of Ashes by Modest Mouse
Dust in the Wind by Kansas

 

Ding Dong the Witch is Dead - Wizard of Oz
Some kind of Jazz Fusion shit played by a full 10 peice band. Maybe I could have Teen Town by Weather Report.

 

Well originaly i started this thread; but i never give even a name until now!...
and my resulting reflection are fresh of a few minutes...

so i choose the Bee Gees 71stuff "i don t want to live inside myself"
-or 76 Rush " Tears"
-69 "Out & In" by the Moody Blues
-tha same year Cat Steven wrote his overture track "Lilywhite"
- "Window over the Bay" by the folk angel Vashti Bunyan
and the adventure continue...

In fact it depend the cause of the death !... if it s a suicide its got 2 be really sad...and tears got to feed the dry ground of the chapel... ... it s cruel i know

If your electrocuted in a rock concert ...how! maybe a Big Lamp called Sun felled of a stormy turbulent sky... so here the music got 2 be tragic & heavy...

and the list is long... for each dead there s a number ...for every death there is his own music...

 

High School Confidential=jerry lee lewis,Run like Hell=Floyd,Happy Birthday=?

 

give it all - rise against

just for a change of pace
