What songs do you want played at your funeral !!!???

[Chatkins]

Just been thinking about this lately, as I would like it to be a rather musical affair, but also startting a third thread to see which one is most responded to/ignored !!!
So far I have Live Forever - Oasis
Forever Young - Bob Dylan

I WILL FIND MORE !!

It's got to be Going Underground by the Jam

I've always said that I'm going out to Blue Suede Shoes - and that's the way I intend to go . And a bit of Faure's Requiem would be nice.

Not so good for a cremation

Dh wants Going underground by the Jam
I would either have I shall be released(Dylan) or Learn to be still(The Eagles)

Actually as a mad Eagles fan it would have to something by them.

at goingunderground!

the sound of silence

Not fussed really, think it should be up to the kind people that I leave behind. I ain't going to be there to hear it anyway

I would assume though that one of the songs my husband would choose for my funeral if I were to go before him would be My Girl as it is "our song".

Asleep by The Smiths

Ring of fire - Johnny Cash

Don't wanna miss a thing - Aerosmith

Of course griller there is Funeral Pyre by the Jam for cremation!

When I'm Gone, Thea Gilmore version
Somewhere Over The Rainbow/Wonderful World- Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

Kung Fu Fighting

ooh Ringof Fire is going on my list too Gums! Love that song.

Suppose dh would choose The Beach Boys God Only Knows, as I walked down the aisle to it on wedding day, and the lyrics kind of fit both !

good point flynnie

and as a griller, it's got to be cremation for me

Everybody's Talking At Me

Not sure it's even called that actually

When the drugs don't work The Verve

my nan had that Time To SaY Goodbye song, who is that by ?

Gulp, you couldn't sit through a funeral and listen to that, and not cry buckets, bless her soul...

What about James Blunt - Goodbye My Lover

I always think Daddy Cool by Boney M. 'She's crazy like a fool, What about it Daddy Cool............Daddy, daddy cool, daddy, daddy cool. I'm crazy like a fool........'
Or Sunny 'The dark days are gone and the bright days are here, my sunny one shines so sincere, sunny one so true I love you.....'
Nothing like a bit of Boney M to cheer everyone up.

Sorry but I'd HAVE to be dead to cope with the sound of James Blunt!

Just thought of Fire by the crazy world of Arthur Brown[?]
Especially when he begins to get really hysterical
