music for your funeral

[Malaclypse]

well, what's the perfect song for a funeral?
i'm the whine-type, so i go for
theatre of tragedy - ...a distance there is
and don't propose a "better" song before you actually listened to that one! that's ace! in a bad way.

as mentioned

radiohead. let down.

I've never been to a funeral, I fear it naturally. I don't think I'd like to hear music at one.

 

[Malaclypse]

you won't hear it on your own, i suppose.

edit: and yeah, funerals do suck. big time.

 

[sol83]

me too. never been to one. not me thing really. i'll get really depressed and won't be able to control meself. sad.

 

[Allan]

Yeah, missed that "your", same goes, music wouldn't be suitable. If anything I'd rip off Buckley and go for "Satisfied Mind". I'd just think it'd be a time when people should be alone with their thoughts, without any form of escapism.

 

[Malaclypse]

the point is not to control yourself at a funeral, the point is to part ways. and i do the most ridiculous things at funerals, for example going into a church, just because it feels right and i think i need to do it for the dead one. it's not nice, of course, but i still feel better afterwards than i would without taking part.

 

[toolsofthetrade]

those moments can be the best ever. funerals can be really fucking special. like the silence, the pure emotions u feel like.

*sob sob* get a grip ffs

and i just love being in churches, cathedrals, the bigger/older the better

 

[sol83]

durham cathedral is ace. been there when i was in the uk. york's one is great too.

 

[Malaclypse]

my sort of biggest fear is that maybe my (yet unborn) children could die before i do. dunno if i could handle that.

 

[toolsofthetrade]

deffo, i accidentally was at a mass when i was in Bristol, great space, and the whole ceremony was emphasizing the lot - there was a small orchestra playing

i got to chat with a chapelin and he had like undyed black hair with fierce blue eyes, never seen anything 'angelic' before, damn...

You RULE... I am from Cologne and the Kölner Dom owns for sure....
But how to get your funeral held in there... only for the privileged ones... damn...

 

[Aerwen]

Hm, I still wonder, no one actually chose ONE LAST GOODBYE.....well, its like dedicated to Helen but its just so intense like...

 

[Crack Hitler]

I'd choose something not too depressing nor sad.. like Weeping Willows cover version of Wonderful Life.

"No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life"



and (I've probly said this before) when people walk out of the church, I want Wake Me Up Before You Go Go blasting through speakers.
