If you died today, what song....

Recommended Posts

Guest The Winter Of My Discontent

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.

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

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

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.

'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...

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!

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.

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.

Oh don't worry...If I was unbalanced like that, I'd be sure to bring you with me.

 

I couldn't face an eternity without The Great and Poweful Banky at my side.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(surely this can't be interrupted as a death threat...right)

Black Label Society - "We Live No More"

That's a nice song. Very emotional.

Choose what you wish to believe

Choose what you wish to be

The hatred one can endure

Let the gathering begin...

...for we live no more
