Funeral music

[Lindylou]

Have just attended a funeral and was surprised at the choice of music at the end when everyone files out of the church. What would you choose for your funeral? Of course, I'm assuming that you are going to die at some time or other. In the far distant future I hope!

Hi Lindylou
Think I would be choosing anything from Josh Grobin.
I also like Wind beneath my wings
Songbird.

[shoehammer29]

think id have blackbird by the beatles, and the bonzo dog dooda band, 'urban spaceman'

[markieboy]

Going Back, by Dusty Springfield. always very poigniant for me, i have also requested Abide with Me, and The Dark is Rising, by Mercury Rev. HOPE IT AIN'T TOO SOON THOUGH.

[JOHNNYxCASH]

Hi, mine would have to be.... Simple Minds - Don't You Forget About Me.

[Whickerman]

'Cancer', by My Chemical Romance, 'Tattva', by Kula Shaker, and 'If Only Tonight We Could Sleep' by the Cure.

And I want 'Welcome to the Black Parade' as the coffin heads into the flames.

I would like Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd at some point, preferably in the middle so that everyone would have to sit and listen to it! I always thought something by Enya would be nice but it's mostly too sad. Same goes for Barber's Adagio which would have me blubbing (mind you I wouldn't know about it, would I?)

[andy-hughes]

Mine is 'Drift Away' by Dobie Gray -

"Give me the beat boys, and free my soul, I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away ..."

Won't be a dry eye!

[Frenchoid]

A BIG character I knew died recently, bless 'er - and at her request came into the chapel to 'The Dambusters' and went out to 'The Ride of the Valkyries'. Made everyone smile!

As for me, it would have to be the You & Me Song by the Wannadies... "It was always you and me, always, and forever" !

[snodhutch]

wake me up before you go go

[teash]

i`d have something that whenever the tune was heard by the folk attendin my funeral they`d say 'eeeeee that reminds me of bein at teash`s funeral'
So for me the tune would have to be 'boys of summer' by mr henley
And I for one hate Tina turners Simply the Best because it reminds me of what was played at my uncle ronnies funeral and he was far from being 'simply the best' uncle

[teash]

LOL @ snodhutch

[donegal]

one tree hill by U2

[Leo1972]

'An Ending (Ascent)' by Brian Eno

[diode dug]

For me it would be...

The Flying Lizards - Money

[JannieAnnie]

Meditations on Thais by
Massenet....Fab!!
