Song(s) for your funeral?

[mank]

OK, three (or just the one if you're lazy) songs for your funeral.

The Doors - The End
Bruce Springsteen - Atlantic City
Joy Division - The Eternal

 

[echo]

Comfortably Numb (Floyd).
Now That There's Nothing In The Way (Trembling Blue Stars).
Emma's House (Field Mice).

 

[FatBusinessman]

The Hives - Untutoried Youth

That'll really confuse people

 

[Xtro 2.0]

Only one.

"Maybe" by The Ink Spots.

Think it was originally released in 1947.

In case "wtf?" : http://www.theinkspots.com/history.htm

Its also used in...Fallout 2

 

[Trem]

Pearl Jam - Release

Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye

That is assuming I have two funerals.

 

[mank]

You're allowed more than one song at this funeral. I've actually never been to a funeral, so I've not got a fucking clue how many songs get played.

Although you can have as many funerals as you like Trem me duck.

I recognise that, and it's really quite good. I have no idea what Fallout 2 is though, so I don't know it from there.

It's one of these new-fangled "video games".

 

[Cdr]

I think, if I'm gonna get cremated - as my coffin rolls along the conveyor belt, and the doors close behind it - it has to be Room 101 theme tune.

Pearl Jam - Light Years a possible other (although it doesnt have the comedy value of Room 101).

 

[CptDoom]

Big Black - Kerosene

If im being cremated of course

 

[Jonny_Darko]

Goodbye - Catherine Wheel (or maybe NIN's "Hurt")

[You've Got] The Touch - Stan Bush (You all know it!)

Full Of Grace - Sarah McLachlan

One of my fave bands, one of my fave songs. Good choice.

 

[leggy]

I don't give a fuck as I'll be dead. I just hope no one plays the fast food song.

 

[Ekydus]

REM - Everybody Hurts. [I like the song + fitting for a funeral]
Radiohead - Street Spirit. [I don't know why though.]
Whitney Houston - I will always love you. [Played at Uncle's funeral, quite popular for funerals etc.]

NOTE: Songs will change as I go through my years.

 

[Sir Frizz]

Anything by Thomas Newman tbh.

edit:// And U2 - With Or Without You

!!

mine,

Belle & Sebastian - Sleep The Clock Around
The Velvet Underground - Pale Blue Eyes
Nick Drake - Man In a Shed

 

[Deadmanwalking]

John Lennon - Imagine

 

[Munkey-]

good choice there DMW.

Hmmm....what would I play at my funeral....

Probably:

Telepopmusik - Breathe


Can't think of anything else...

 

[Jonaldo]

As people enter the room I would want something like Guns n Roses - Estranged.

Then my favourite song of all time is Blind Melon - Sleepyhouse.

Then I'd have to choose something that'd either make everyone laugh or cry, or maybe both but not sure...

Crowded House - Don't dream it's over .. maybe
Pearl Jam - Alive
Ooberman - Shorley Wall .. just cos I love the song


oooh..

Temple of the Dog - Say hello to Heaven or All night thing

 

[hoggsboss]

the jam - going underground
otis redding - dock of a bay
frankie knuckles - tears

 

[Yoni]

Mine would be:

The Doors - The River Knows
Placebo - The Crawl
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand

Yeah it is, and Release is about waiting for his dad to talk to him or summat, they just both move me.

 

[old.UKTwister]

Loud and epic for me so..

Europe - The Final Countdown
Muse - Sing for absolution
Megadeath - hanger 18


I know they probably don't go with the fact im dead but i must spread the message of good music
