funeral music

[YMIR]

Okay, don't understand this wrong, I don't wanna die soon but I was thinking for myself, what music must play on my own funeral??

I don't really know it yet but something from the Blackwater park album of Opeth would be cool. Harvest or The Drapery Falls.

Anyone here who had this thougt too?? And which music would you like to have??

 

[Qwallath of Endoryan]

So much to choose from...

Well this is some stuff I would be OK with at my funeral :

Opeth - Black Rose Immortal
Edvard Grieg - The Last Spring
Skepticism - Sign of a Storm
Ulver - Capitel 5 - Bergtatt - Ind I Fjeldkamrene

but I'll let my siblings decide : )

 

[YMIR]

Yeah, Ulver would be okay on my funeral too. Something from the Kveldssanger album!!

 

[Qwallath of Endoryan]

Totally agree!

BTW. Nice to see other young dutch lovers of great music : )

More important than the music is what kind of ceremony do you want for yourself? You don't want to be interred in a christian ceremony (which seems to be the default if one does not specify otherwise) if you are not a christian. Think about it.

 

[YMIR]

O, ik had nog niet gezien dat je ook uit Nederland komt. Tof! Ik woon in buurt van Apeldoorn. Waar woon jij ergens??

 

[Qwallath of Endoryan]

I would just like a ceremony for people who really cared about me.

And no mourning thing, at least not for long. Life goes on!!!

 

[YMIR]

Allison@: Okay I do

I've been giving a bit of thought to this before.

A viking ship funeral (you know, the burning longship and
everything) would be nice. Or a cremation at the very least. It's
not a nice thought to think of yourself as worm food.
To start the ceremony I should think My Dying Bride - For My
Fallen Angel would be nice, and to finish the whole thing,
Moonsorrow - Sankaritarina.

 

[Allison]

you do what?

 

[Nova]

yes,moonsorrow is perfect!or - my thoughts - the doors : the crystal ship.or apocalyptica - until it sleeps.

Carcass - Festerday

 

[The Nomad]

Lord:


Manowar - Funeral March! (From Achilles, Agony and Ecstacy in 8 parts)

But seriously, I don't know. I can't think right now.
Voice of Destruction (the South African one) - Ring of Brodgar would be up there.

 

[Lordenlil]

Ok.. hehe - perhaps a bit too violent even if it's only about 20 secs. long.

Seriously, I would have had Jan Garbarek playing his sax. He's brilliant and much of his music is really emotional . A good choice.
(Every time such a thread is created I answer differently..he he)

I don't care what kind of ceremony people have for me, because really it will be to comfort the people who are sad about me being dead (providing there are some... ).

But I would like to play a goodbye song for them, "The Garden" by Einsturzende Neubauten. It goes: "you can find me if you want me in the garden..."

I used to talk with my mom about this,because I have been close to dying twice,and I told her that I wanted the next songs on my funeral:
At the Gates-Cold
The Crown-Crowned in Terror
Samael-Rain
Nightingale-Deep Inside of Nowhere
Iced Earth-The entire 3cd Alive in Athens

 

[DeadWinterDead]

Eternal Tears of Sorrow - A Virgin and a Whore - The River Flows Frozen

OR

Savatage - Streets: A Rock Opera - If I Go Away

 

[Gaunerin]

Haven't thought of this for a very long time. Maybe I should do it again
Anyway, many years back I would have chosen Paradise Lost's Eternal.

Good luck on that one...

Well, for me I don't care... when I leave the body I'm gone!
