Not to be morbid but…
I recently finished watching the excellent HBO series ‘Six Feet Under’ on DVD. For those who don’t know it’s a quirky show about a family who runs a funeral home in Los Angeles.
Anyways, watching the show made me wonder - what songs(s) would I want at my funeral or memorial if I had one? Off the top of my head: Stevie’s ‘Touched By An Angel’ or ‘Sleeping Angel’ comes to mind, and Green Day’s ‘Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)’. What would y’all pick? |

Hmmm...i know it's morbid, but first off, I'd want my funeral to be a celebration of my life, not a mourning of my death. As for songs, I'd probably have In My Time of Dying by Led Zeppelin, Edge of Seventeen by Stevie Nicks (I read somewhere the white-winged dove bit is to symbolize death), and I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor.

Haha. I was just trolling past threads and came across this. I thought I was the only one who had already decided what she wanted for her funeral. I don't want a miserable funeral. I want a fun day. As such I straight out ban black. Anybody wearing black should be issued with a Hawaiian shirt at the door Anyhoo, songs :-
* R.E.M. - Shiny Happy People (Sing along version like on Man On The Moon) * Fleetwood Mac - That's Enough For Me () * The Beach Boys - Wouldn't It Be Nice Maybe :- * Loudon Wainwright III - Heaven I toyed with the idea of having my favourite song of all time (They Shoot Horses, Don't They by Racing Cars) but that's too depressing lol.

No question, no contest - "Lay Me Low" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
The "malanderer, badlander and thief" bit in my sig is from this song, actually. The first time I heard it years ago, I knew it would be the perfect funeral song for me, because it's got the perfect mix of f*ck-all-that-noise-I'm-outta-here and narcissistic omg-you-guys-wasn't-I-freakin-awesome. I'm not sold on the idea that people need to have an actual funeral for me, because they're expensive and it's not like I'm going to know any better, but I can see folks getting together for a drink, listening to this, and laughing - if you know me even slightly, then you'll laugh when you hear it, too. Plus, it's just a genius song in general. Nick Cave is my co-pilot. PS - If people do insist on having a funeral for me, then I must insist that this clip of Gaahl from Gorgoroth in the excellent documentary, Metal: A Headbanger's Journey be played, because it's one of the best 24 seconds that ever happened anywhere: That will never not be hilarious, even when I'm dead.

If I had a big tour bus, I'd dump my Dave Matthews filled septic tank, in some really inappropriate public place. Oh wait, maybe I am Dave Matthews(you know this story, right?)!

For sure no black allowed. It would have to be a celebration. But I would want a moment of silence so everyone could suffer through "Fireflies" since they all complain about my obsession. But after that, to get the party started
