which song would you like to be played in your own funeral or burial interment?

[IcemanJ256]

Amorphis - Better Unborn

 

[demon talented]

Anekdoten's Longing would be most appropriate for me. It's the most beautiful goddamn thing anyway.

 

[JesusChristPose]

Difficult question, indeed. MAYH, the entire cd or Mozart's Requiem...or Funeral for a Friend by Elton John, comes to my mind.

 

[Smitty]

If it had to be an Opeth song... probably For Absent Friends

 

[ProgMetalFan]

Pain of Salvation - "Dryad of the Woods"

 

[Sigma]

"If your happy and you know it clap your hands"

The Funeral Portrait!! Perfect song to send me down and to be remembered with. I mean seriously, wouldn't you like to go out with a dual-solo?

Right on.

"Still Day Beneath The Sun" wouldn't be bad, but kind of obvious, since it's actually about a funeral. And Opeth's Requiem would be cool too, just so pretty and melancholy. Wish it were longer.

If I had to pick just one, though, I'd have Pantera's "Cowboys From Hell"... then halfway through the eulogy I'd have a guy flying out of the grave (that everybody thought was empty, before they put me in) on a motocross bike, firing a shotgun. Because people like surprises.

just in case, the last paragraph was said in jest. i'm a classy kind of guy, no, really.

 

[Cutter]

Definately 'a Fair Judgement' at mine...

 

[Deserted]

dream theater - the spirit carries on.
oh, what a beautiful song it is....

 

[Leech]

if it had to be an opeth song, probably to bid you farewell then and for absent friends.

other songs would probably be...
anathema - one last goodbye
nin- hurt
at the gates- suicide nation
mad season- wake up
cannibal corpse-through the eyes of the dead

I've thought about this before, and I don't really know. I guess 'Thorns on my Grave' by Emperor would be cool from a lyrical standpoint: "This body should remain concealed, for it holds every disease ever exposed, It holds all pain and death I could never unleash."

Yeah, I'd want my funeral to be a really harrowing affair

GOOD CALL!!! Wow, I wouldn't have thought of this, but Thorns On My Grave would be a fantastic funeral song.

My Dying Bride - For My Fallen Angel

Love that song
