Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Report post Posted April 21, 2004 I don't think the Roman Catholic church allows "rock music" to be played during their processions. I think I'll deal with whatever generic house track the chapel had been playing on the previous Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 21, 2004 well shit, I wasn't taken in consideration of WHERE the funeral would be held... If it's at my families Church... I'll go with some Anal Cunt song... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted April 21, 2004 Well this is the tentative track listing for my funeral CD that I'd have passed out to the people in attendance. Vera Lynn - We'll Meet Again(plays at end of Dr. Strangelove) Frank Sinatra - My Way Gary Jules - Mad World Johnny Cash - Hurt Jimi Hendrix - Angel Jimi Hendrix - Castles Made Of Sand Metallica - One Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb The Doors - The End I haven't found a song to go between Floyd and Doors, yet. As you can see the first half is downbeat and somber, while the second half isn't as somber. I also have more plans for my funeral... Coffin: Outside – Non-Gloss Black with chrome accents Inside - Red Velvet Outfit: Black Suit(perhaps pinstriped mobster style) White or Black dress shirt Red Tie Black & White Dress Shoes Flowers: Red and White Roses Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2004 I'm adding "Always after time" from the Spirited Away Soundtrack to my list. The entire song is in Japanese but it's quite possibly the most beautiful song I've ever heard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mole 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2004 Phish - "Down With Disease" Mostly for the chorus. Down with disease Three weeks in my bed Trying to stop these demons that keep dancing in my head Down with disease Up before the dawn A thousand barefoot children outside dancing on my lawn, and I keep Waiting for the time when I can finally say That this has all been wonderful but now I'm on my way But when I think it's time to leave it all behind I try to find a way but there's nothing I can say to make it stop Down with disease and the jungles in my mind They're climbing up my waterfalls and swingin' on my vines So I try to hear the music but I'm always losing time 'Cause they're stepping on my rhythm and they're stealin' all my lines Stealin' all my lines and I keep Waiting for the time when I can finally say That this has all been wonderful but now I'm on my way But when I think it's time to leave it all behind I try to find a way but there's nothing I can say to make it stop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted April 21, 2004 Nothing, although I request that whoever I'm in a band with at the time sample what the onlookers say when I have some kind of vibrating contraption start shaking the casket, banging it around like I'm trying to get out. Whatever clips are collected are put on my posthumous release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DCMaximo 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2004 'ABC...Giant Steps' by Liberty 37 has been my choice of funeral song since I first heard it. Tell your children not to go away From what you know they need to know. A taste of what it could be like If all we asked of ourselves is everything. Lover, won't you tow me far behind. Some will call you up to fight And guard their pride with all your stupid might But no one wants for anything When all we ask of ourselves is everything. Everything. Where is the light burning in your fire? Where is the will that will not tire? Tearing down roses. There's not anything to stop you loving. I've also jokingly thought about My Way by Sid Vicious, but I'm not sure I'd be allowed that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaertos 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2004 (edited) This is a great topic, by the way... My answers? Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day As Time Goes By by Doolie Wilson Born to Run (Live Version) by Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band oh... and just because I think a good cry is theraputic at a funeral and if my wife outlives me... Right Here Waiting by Richard Marx I Will Always Love You by Dolly Parton / Whitney Houston I even have two poems picked out to be read. I've thought about this ever since my Sister-in-Law's ex-husband died suddenly in a car crash a couple of years ago.

Beast 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2004 What A Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong Crash Into Me - Dave Matthews Band Two Step - Dave Matthews Band Don't Look Back In Anger - Oasis But most of all - Winter by Josh Radin, if you've seen the episode of Scrubs with the song, you know why. Episode with Brendan Fraser this season. Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley - Unbelievably awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted April 21, 2004 You people seem truly prepared and comfortable with your mortality. One even has their clothes down pat. Someone keep the knives away from that kid! That's not so weird. In ancient egypt, burial preparations would begin on some level for a pharoah before they were born. I don't know if what I want is allowed anymore though. Viking funeral. Set adrift in a burning boat with a dead dog at my feet. Sunn would be the perfect soundtrack for a floating hulk, ablaze with a dead body on board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
