Kind of Morbid Question...
 

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.

Storms

Paula

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

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.

Not That Funny, of course!

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.

Wow, you're just begging for a flood of tears from the crowd, you egomaniac. ;) :lol:

- Jake

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..." ;)

- Jake

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

- Jake

: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

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

ok..
 

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

But also GYPSY.

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

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

Not an FM song...
 

Hey, I know you, what makes you think you're headed upwards? :shocked: ;) :laugh: :wavey:

- Jake

No, dancing on the grave to WISYA is for show, the funeral is just cake. ;) :lol:

- Jake

No begging necessary, I'll be sorely missed :(

Paula :rolleyes:

You and your website both. :nod:

- Jake

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. ;)

:laugh: The fact that I still talk to you! :wavey:
AMber

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" :-)

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

:wavey:

great idea! :thumbsup:

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. ;)

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

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:

It is? I didn't know that. I cleaned my house, but i still can't find the lyrics for the CD that I only got 3 month ago :mad: So...
Amber

Well now that I see we're picking more than one each I'll add Seven Wonders. :angel:

- Jake

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
Amber

I believe she sings "The dancing beauty again..."
But you can hear "same same" if you want. :wavey:

- Jake

Will my lyrics foibles never end? Can you check for me? It really sounds like same, same, but of course you posted earlier that you know all the lyrics to every song, right? Dancing beauty? That doesn't make sense...Why would Stevie sing about a dancing beauty? :laugh:
Amber

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.

- Jake

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...
Amber

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

Chris

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

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~

brightest stevie blessings~
jill

Huh? I really can't figure that one out. Which part is about masturbation?

Storms, definitely.
