Your Funeral

[daz436]

Your planning your funeral and get to choose 3 songs. Choose them, and explain why.

Remember this is alot different from the typical 'favourite track' thread or '3 tracks that sum up your taste' thread. If you're a bastard you might want to choose Edge of Sanity - Crimson to piss off your relatives by making them stand there for an hour while its playing. Or if you're a sick bastard you might want to choose Entrails Ripped From A Virgins Cunt by Cannibal Corpse to piss off the priest/minister/whatever funeral religiousy type person is running it. Or you could always just go for the typical depress your family with Katatonia & Radiohead. So in a way this thread isnt particularly serious if you don't want it to be, but obviously it can be if you want.

Hopefully this will take off...

I always used to go for 5 but hmm three I can do.

Nina Simone - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

The Who - Behind Blue Eyes

And I always used to say Highway to Hell, but I think that's just 'cause I couldn't think of anything.

I'd probably go with Opeth - Harvest.

Other possibilities, Vangelis - "Tears in Rain", Emperor - "With Strength I Burn" and Sinatra - "My Way".

These are some of my favourite songs of all time, really very moving in my opinion.

 

[dcat]

I am beyond Death. hehe

 

[:Wreath:]

I'm only hoping for one song, namely 'Why worry' by Dire Straits because it's one of the most beautiful songs I know and one of the first songs I've heard in my life so that would be a nice coda... Plus the lyrics kinda fit the ocassion

 

[biggsy]

I would say...

Patterns in the Ivy - Opeth... simply beautiful, moving music and lyrics. Fits the occasion.

Iris - Goo Goo Dolls... mine and the girl's song, it's obligatory

Arriving Somewhere, But Not Here - Porcupine Tree... first couple of minutes would fit a funeral very nicely.

 

[metal_wrath]

I will be REBOOOORRRNNN! Lolz

 

[Pethical]

some funeral doom...

 

[Hubster]

French Baroque for the whole funeral. Period

 

[affinityband]

Actually id love Tool - The Grudge. A damn near perfect song.

 

[NFU]

john lennon - imagine

 

[worldwide_suicide]

Pearl Jam- given to fly

 

[Id]

anothing by dark funeral!!!!!!!

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

gwen stefani - hollaback girl

 

[illidurit]

beatles - the end

 

[all_sins_undone]

deftones - when girls telephone boys

 

[Kenneth R.]

Nightingale - Glory Days I smile as I fade in this empty space
I believe that funerals should be a cause for celebrating one's life rather than mourning one lost.

Third Eye Blind - Motorcycle Driveby I go home to the coast, I paddle out on the water, and this dark and broken wave will carry me home
Favorite song by a longtime favorite band shared with someone very important to me.

Mostly Autumn - The Gap Is Too Wide (for the lengthy instrumental section that is simply amazing)

or Zero Hour - Rebirth Fields of white, reflect the light, of a rose upon a tomb. They lost one along the way...

 

[the_3_toed_sloth]

For this funeral of a popular green party polititian over here last year the dude had Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd, which was pretty badass

 

[TheUnforgiven]

I probably go with all Metallica repetoire..

the Unforgiven
Nothing else matters
Fade to black

and maybe trow in a "Bastard son of god" to cheer up everybody

 

[Mr. Bland]

Opeth - Still Day Beneath The Sun (Live)

Opeth - To Bid You Farewell (Live)

And then I would have Amazing Grace played on bagpipes.

The Opeth would be live performances by the band themselves, now top that!
