Funeral music

[Influenza]

A bit morbid but still , what song would you want played at your funeral?.

A friend of mine passed recently and he was only in his 30s and it got me thinking.

I went to a funeral and the song played after the service and everyone was walking out was :

Everyone lolled.

What tris- posted..

A mate's father passed away last year. We're 12 guys who have been best mates basically since first grade. We were ofcourse all there to support him and his family. His ex-gf sat next to me, crying her eyes out and holding my hand, cause they had been toghether for almost two years and she had basically lived with my mate and his family, so she knew his father really well, but I managed to keep dry eyes up untill the brother of the deceased walked up and sat next to the coffin with his guitar and sang that song.. The entire church turned into a tsunami except the brother who just kept on singing and playing this song. But just as he finished the song he burst into tears...

Was the most emotional moment of my entire life..

It's not death music IMO.
It's definitely "Life" music... my daughter was conceived to it.

Text in the beginning:

I'm not afraid of dying. Anytime will do, I don't mind.
Why should I be afraid of dying. There's no reason for it, we gotta go sometime.
