Song at your funeral...

[ensign]

If you could have one song played at your funeral, before you were lowered into the ground, what would it be?

mine would be to bid you farewell

doesnt have to be an opeth song.

hmmm....dont know, mabey communion and the Oracle by symphony x? its just a beautiful floaty song. theres alot of songs that i like more, but their not good to play for a funeral...imagine a cryptopsy song in a funeral, that would be funny

Harvest...my friends and family have strict instructions.

"Sun That Never Sets" by neurosis, the lyrics are beautiful and the music is a perfect little dirge, its almost as if the song was meant for a funeral.

 

[Strangelight]

Iron Maiden- Invaders

 

[Fade to Black]

Eulogy - TOOL

 

[Static]

Black Sabbath - Die Young (very appropriate)

Or, seriously...King Crimson - One Time. I reckon that song would make every eye in the house teary, even if they didn't give a fuck about me when I was alive...which would most likely be the case.

Iron Maiden- Invaders

"Invaders..... do de do do doooo..... Pillaging..... de do de do doooo....."

yep, perfect for a funeral!

 

[Funeral Portrait]

The theme to Ferris Bueler's Day Off. How funny would it be to see them lowering a casket to "ohhhhhh yeeeea"

Actually, Winter 1941 by Novembre is a cool song to play on my funeral, even though it does get abit fast with double kicking

i actually sent a friend 'harvest' for his friends funeral. he asked me if i had any suitable songs... (this was before D1 and D2 were out), and he knows full well what type of music i like...

 

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

did they use it for the funeral? that would be cool.

I've already asked my friends and family to play Still Day Beneath the Sun at my funeral. I mean, c'mon, its family-friendly and the lyrics are just made for it. TBYF was my pick before I heard Still Day Beneath the Sun...but I prefer the latter (for a funeral anyways).

 

[janwesterm]

you all think that you gonna be opeth fans for life?

 

[Beth]

yes

For years it was always "Ambition" by New Model Army, but in 1997 it occured to me that "Glory To The Brave" by HammerFall would make a good one.

I went to a friend's funeral last year and there was a small amount of keyboard based Cradle Of Filth (cannot remember which song now) played as we left the chapel... it was stopped very precisely to avoid upsetting older family members.

The Red Hawthorne Tree by Current 93

 

[Black Chaosstorm]

possibly anything from d2 and harvest. face of melinda would be cool to...

radiohead - pyramid song
or
a perfect circle - orestes...

both would be great. cant help it, pyramid song makes me cry. i think i would choose pyramid song after all.
