Kind of Morbid Question...

[Lala]

What, if any, FM songs would you want played at your funeral???

As for me, I think I want Sara (of course!!!!) and GYOW, cuz I think it would be a kind of funny song to play at a funeral and maybe it would make people less depressed. There's something about that first chorus with the harmony that just makes you feel good.

[skcin]

Storms

Paula

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

I don't think I would want any FM song played at my funeral. It's a sure fire way to put people off of it! My cousing died in his twenties and he chose Everybody Hurts by REM and I just can't bear to listen to it anymore. I switch off if it comes on the radio. Mind you he also chose It's A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong and that did seem very fitting

Pip

[tommer]

not that i'm planning on dying anytime soon, but in fact i already asked for Beauty And The Beast to be played if something does happen to me. i told so many ppl about it, that i guess it may be a problem changing it now to Goodbye Baby.

[David]

What, if any, FM songs would you want played at your funeral???
Not That Funny, of course!

[darklinensuit]

I'd want whatever song the band releases about 130 years from now. :cool:

Actually, in my culture it's not traditional to play this kind of song at a funeral, but if I had to pick one, I suppose I'd want Wild Heart. Great lyrics & not too much of a downer in terms of sound.

But they'd adjust the lyrics for you, right?
"Lala...You're the poet in that box...Never change...And don't you ever rot..." ;)

Hey why not a whole medley? Your funeral is longer than five minutes, right? :)

:lol: :lol:
I'd pick obvious ones, Edge or Rhiannon. Both remind me of singing my spirit to the sky, and my spirit soaring, and all that. Plus, hopefully people could ROCK as they sob uncontrollably :p I will instruct everyone that they have to sing, very loud, "Once in a MILLION years, a lady like her, riiisz-ehy-ez" :laugh:
Amber

[dissention]

I wouldn't have anything playing at my funeral because I don't want a funeral. Funerals are for show, nothing else. ;)

[Villavic]

I do want some tears, so I'd choose Storms, he he.

But also GYPSY.

[Josh2003]

When I'm gone, I want it to be a WEEP FEST!

That's why "Touched by an Angel" will be played.

[wondergirl9847]

Souldrifter by Lindsey is my choice for a funeral song...it's uplifting in that my soul is going to a better place. :)

[darklinensuit]

:lol: :lol:

Hmmm. Landslide, Songbird maybe. WISYA might be appropriate (at least by the title) but everyone will already be so sad, I wouldn't want to put them through that. ;)

[rezamatic]

This is SO weird, because I was talking about this with my best friend the other night... I'm actually freaked out at the coincidence, lol. :confused: :eek:

Because I've always made it a point that I want people to be having a good time at my funeral. I always hate the fact that people show up and it feels so awkward because no one wants to break the ice and talk about anything. And this is why I want the whole "Tusk" album played during the viewings. It's just a perfect mix of slow, emotional songs (Storms, Beautiful Child, Save Me a Place!) and Lindsey's upbeat songs that general people won't get, but that symbolize me so well :-) I just can't wait for people to walk in and hear "The Ledge" or "WMYTYTO" playing and say 'is this a mistake?' and then laugh because I WOULD do something like that.

Now, if I wanted to single songs out and be all emotional about it, I'd go for "Save Me a Place", "Countdown", "Say We'll Meet Again" or "Turn It On". But that's too sad go give me "Tusk" :-)

[Livia]

God's Garden -sheesh, talk about a weep-fest!

:wavey:

Oh, Livia! You want us to cry over you at your funeral, not over the torture you've inflicted upon us by having that song played! :laugh: :xoxo:

That is a good choice, though, I must admit. :wavey:

It takes a special person to request that The Ledge, a song about mastrubation, be played at their funeral. :laugh:

Say Goodbye would be the song I would choose if I had to. ;)

[GretaRhiannon]

Say You Will hehe, no Umm I'd choose Say Goodbye or Beautiful Child (heh even tho I'm not beautiful) or Goodbye Baby

[golddustwoman77]

God's Garden -sheesh, talk about a weep-fest!

:wavey:

This is a little morbid :shocked: , but I have thought about this. I wanted "God's Garden" played at my funeral from the first time I heard the demo. Great choice, Livia! Also, I plan to play "Songbird," "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You," and "D.W. Suite." I think all of these are suitable and have meaning to me. :angel:

That's a good one. Maybe i'd like it too. And i'd make everyone sing "I'LL NEVAH LIVE TO SEE THE BYOOTEE THE BYOOTEE THAT SAME, SAME BYOOTEE A-GEHN" Really loud, cause it would be so true if I was gone... :p :laugh: :D

Well, I checked the lyrics on The Ledge & The Nicksfix & this line is not included. From what I remember from the video it looks like she's singing "dancing beauty" that one time near the end of the song.

I guess we can invite other posters to discuss what they think she's saying.

Hahaha well... hmm. I could honestly say I didn't realize that was the basis of the song but I don't think anyone would believe me enough to dig myself outta that hole :-D

In all SERIOUSNESS, though, it's mostly about the sound of the song and how it'd totally throw people off walking into a funeral home and hearing that song. Fun stuff, all my friends/family would get it. And by the way - Say Goodbye, nice choice! That was up there on my list too.

...I'm going to go listen to that again now... :shocked:

No way! Two people only! :laugh: But i figured you had the lyrics from the CD, but they're probably not on there either, if they're not on Ledge or Nicksfix, duh. Right? Damn her and her incomprehensibility! God, I'll just nevah have all the words, good thing It doesn't really matter while singing her songs...

My step dad has always wanted "Songbird" played at his funeral..it's his fav. Mac song

I would like Beautiful Child at mine I think

i have thought about that b4, i tho i PRAY my time doesn't come anytime soon, i have asked to have played, by stevie, "gods garden", stevie has been in my life since the age of 5 (36 soon to b) , & it wouldn't b right not 2 have a song by her played~ & OT my hubby & i both want played "spirit in the sky" by norman greenbaum~

[Vianna]

Storms, definitely.

[estranged4life]

"Storms" would be the only FM track played at my funeral...

I would like the last verse of "Storms" on a headstone as an epitaph, But if I get cremated that just ruins the whole @#$^&* thing :lol:

[darklinensuit]

I'm with Amber... I hear "that same, same beauty again," too. :)

You're both right, I listened to it in the car on my way home tonight. Half my life I've heard it the other way, though, so I still prefer the imagined lyric. ;)

- Jake

[tynan88]

The song I demand to have played at my funeral is ASSHOLE by Dennis Leary but as far as a Mac song goes, I would love to know STORMS was making people cry, as it goes across the loud speaker as I make my way down the main street of Sydney with a hundred thousand people lining the streets for my state funeral...yeah I have high hopes...I wanna seriously be Australian President one day even though we dont have one now, I'm staunchly for an Australian head of state, and even though I'm young I keep myself very politically active :wavey: (Gee a hundred and two posts and it's probably the first thing you actually know about me :laugh: ). But yeh it would have to be STORMS.

I hadn't though about it, but why not- Tango In The Night. Just like that frustrated sea captain in the Ghost And Mrs. Muir,

"Then I remember
When the moon was
Full and bright
I would take you in the darkness
And do the Tango In The Night."

[darklinensuit]

ok, now about the other question. Between 2nd and 3rd verse, when she's "misting" that line (singing whispery and softly). I think she's saying "Ne-evah.......Ne-evah (never) but everyone has double sworn to me that she is saying "Sa-arah" But I always heard never, and she says "never" elsewhere in the song, and so why would she be saying "Sarah" other than the fact that she always says "sarah" (in a billion other songs)?

Go to your local library and ask for the Stevie book that's due out in the year 2038. :)
And if you're asking what Tara means, it's a reference in WTTR...S to Gone With the Wind (and Betty Ford).

My friend Anne bought me this CHEESY "tribute to Fleetwood Mac" CD, performed by the alleged "Stars of Studio 99." Whoever they are.

It's bad. Really bad.

In their version of "Seven Wonders," the girl sings "heaven" in those little in-between places.
It's so cheesy, I was shocked she didn't just sing, "ad-lib... ad-lib."

At any rate, I'm convinced Stevie is singing "Tara."

Betty Ford felt/looked liked Tara, I guess, and being a romantic, Stevie loves GWTW. She's singing about a great love & Tara was Scarlet's big love.
Plus it just sounds like she's singing "Tara."

I always thought it was "same, same beauty again" too :shrug:

Funeral songs....how morbid, huh? I suppose I'd want "Dreams", it embodies many meanings for me and was the first song that really hooked me into Fleetwood Mac at a very transitional time in my life, or as they say, when I was trying to "find myself." That song has helped me through a lot of tough times, and I think of it whenever I need comfort for something that's troubling me. It's a very soothing song. Same goes for "Belladonna," my second choice. :angel:

I can't believe an entire generation's worth of Stevie fans has let this opportunity slide right by. Why hasn't some smart, enterprising Stevie fan used the "Ask Stevie" forum on the Nicks Fix to find out? Instead, they ask Stevie repeatedly what Mick or whoever smells like, or they gush & gush like geysers.
