What song would you play at your funeral?

[Hell Awaits Us All]

fade to black
cemetary gates
strange world (iron maiden)

all perfect choices as well.

 

[Alter]

leif erickson by interpol

 

[GhostofSanity]

Opeth - "To Bid You Farewell"

 

[Hatebreeder]

If I was feeling tongue-in-cheek, "Pull the Plug" by Death.

But in reality, I'd like Death's "Voice of the Soul".

 

[Alter]

add land of the dead by summoning
or
Narc by interpol

 

[UndyingDarkness]

Some guy around here asked people to play "Nothing Else Matters" on his funeral when he was dying. They did it.

That's awesome

 

[A1a23]

Mayhem - Funeral fog

 

[~Derek~]

^Buried in Shitville
Where's shitville at?

 

[Jreg]

What song would you play at your funeral?

How can I play songs at my funeral if I'm dead?

 

[UndyingDarkness]

How can I play songs at my funeral if I'm dead?

You know what I mean, smart ass :Smug:

 

[metal_wrath]

That would be a long funeral.

ok, I will change my choice:

Bloodbath - Furnace Funeral

 

[Life Sucks]

How would you describe them? Someone is always name-droppin' them.

Mourning Beloveth? Very sad sounding, very melodic doomdeath, with layered guitars playing different things. The songs are very long and slow, and there are both growls and clean vocals, but much more growling overall.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

funeral, by devin townsend

 

[Daven]

Drudkh - Autumn Aurora
Triarii - Piece Heroique

 

[Alter]

I was just thining about this. WHY A METAL SONG? I mean half of the people at your funeral wont want to hear Nocturno Culto screaming about opening his veins. I would want something everyone could relate to for my funeral.

 

[Xorv]

I third "To Bid you Farewell"

and also wanna add...

Opeth - Credence
My Dying Bride - For My Fallen Angel
Agalloch - Odal
Agalloch - A Desolation Song
Agalloch - Haunting Birds
Agalloch - The Misshapen Steed
Woods of Ypres - A Meeting Place and Time
Trivium - Pull Harder On The Strings Of Your Martyr

I think thats it....

 

[Narg n Lamb]

Either Death and Healing by Wintersun or Valhalla by Tyr.

Beautiful Death(cuz that song is sick, hehe)
and then
Death and the Healing defintely

 

[UndyingDarkness]

ok, I will change my choice:

Bloodbath - Furnace Funeral

That is one of my favorite songs of all time, but that would scare the crap out of everyone

 

[Ender Rises]

Still Day Beneath the Sun by Opeth.


Top that motherfuckers. Perfect funeral song.

There is a light that hits the gloom around
Shows the footprints round this grave
Dried up roses scattered on the mound
Honouring the one engraved

Will ever the morning
Carry away
The souls of those for whom we cry

Leaving, grieving
Seeking, meeting
Binding, unwinding
Sighing "You"

Black procession through the narrow aisles
Another's gone for all to see
Near the site for one who lost his trials
Sleeping neath the ground is me

Still day beneath the sun
Asking you who is the one
And when the day is late
We know who must forever wait

 

[challenge_everything]

I wouldn't want anything played. Certainly not metal. But if I had to make a choice:

Porcupine Tree - Collapse the Light into Earth
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Bad Religion - Struck a Nerve
Anathema - A Fine Day to Exit
