i would like for my funeral song to be any hymn

I've been thinking about this recently too.

For me its an equal split between the imperial march and the halo theme.

The imperial march would be much more memorial.

Friggin in the riggin, by the sex pistols

Here is my funeral song death wish songs...

I like that old kind of rock`n roll

dont fear the reaper

knocking on heavens door

highway to hell

hells bells

oh oh oh its magic

sweet child of mine

its a jungle

carry on my wayward son

-I cannot remeber the song, but it is from the 1960`s and says feel`in alright alot.

well...

what are yours~!

alice in chains - down in a hole

Damn, I forgot about Come Sail Away.

*secretly steals it*

off topic but dude misfits ROCKS!!!!!!!! i have a misfits trenchcoat you would LOVE

meet me in the middle of the air

link to song on you tube

The Misfits are never offtopic. EVER. And I probably would.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Hmm, I would defiantly go for a Tool song, but I don't know if it would be appropriate for a funeral.

Tool - 10,000 (wings for marie)

Push** - (live)


Or

Neil Young - My My, Hey Hey

Nightwish - Nemo

Enya - Deireadh An Tuath


Screw it I'm dead, their playing all those songs!

Fever Dream


*So something by Vai.. and with La Mer by NIN too.

The hokey cokey as I am being buried.

One sweet day.

Imagine how long the burial would take, "left leg in, left leg out, in out in out shake it all about"

In my Will i made it very clear that i want Father Anthony to play this song at my funeral mass & burial...

fully cranked no if's or but's.

Buckethead - All In The Waiting

The Mars Volta - Televators

"A capillary hint of red."

Triple - I'm Alive

"I had a dream the sky set on fire."

Iron & Wine - The Trapeze Swinger

"Who the hell can see forever?"

My wife recently told me she wants the song Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole. She loves the song so much, always makes her feel so calm and at peace.

oops i did it again - spears
nixons walk - from the band of brothers soundtrack

I love The Misfits. Yay Fiend Club!



Hmmm

Flesh N Blood - Oingo Boingo
or
If I Ever Leave This World Alive - Flogging Molly
or
Hurt - Johnny Cash or NIN (either version)
or for fun
Live Fast Diarrhea - The Vandals

maybe I'll just have all of em played haha.

My instinct is to say Kiss - Heaven's on fire,

but I gotta give a +1 to the imperial march. Now that's theme music!!

either Death Whispered a Lullaby by Opeth or Shadow on the Sun by Audioslave
Death Whispered a Lullaby
Shadow on the Sun

Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

Thriller - Michael Jackson.

Thriller.


Or;

Empire - Dar Williams.

Empire. The video was the only decent one for the song.

The Band - The Weight

AC/DC - Ride On

It's another lonely evening
And another lonely town
But I ain't too young to worry
And I ain't too old to cry
When a woman gets me down
Got another empty bottle
And another empty bed
Ain't too young to admit it
And I'm not too old to lie
I'm just another empty head

That's why I'm lonely
I'm so lonely
But I know what I'm gonna do -

I'm gonna ride on Ride on
Ride on, standing on the edge of the road
Ride on, thumb in the air
Ride on, one of these days I'm gonna
Ride on, change my evil ways
Till then I'll just keep dragging on

Broke another promise
And I broke another heart
But I ain't too young to realize
That I ain't too old to try
Try to get back to the start
And it's another red light nightmare
Another red light street
And I ain't too old to hurry
'Cause I ain't too old to die
But I sure am hard to beat

But I'm lonely
Lord I'm lonely
What am I gonna do -

Ride on
Ride on, got myself a one-way ticket
Ride on
Ride on, going the wrong way
Ride on, gonna change my evil ways
Ride on, one of these days
One of these days

Ride on
Ride on
I'm gonna ride on
Ride on, looking for a truck
Ride on
Ride on, keep on riding
Riding on and on and on

...Then that's that, bury me then go gather together and have some snacks!

I'd probably go with either "My Way" by Frank Sinatra

My Way
And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
Ill state my case, of which Im certain.

Ive lived a life thats full.
Ive traveled each and evry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, Ive had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.
Ive had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

That's a great song, I love the lyrics, still haven't figured out what they mean though. The Badloves with Jimmy Barnes did a great cover of this here. I think it is better than the original...sorry!

Probably a David Bowie song... either Heros... or the Laughing Gnome.

for whom the bell tolls or fade to black - metallica. If I die young, my friends already have instructions to celebrate my life. I do believe that scattering my ashes at one of their concerts goes to far though

Depends on how i'll end up with dying, but if it's wild i think i would go with something like the dillinger escape plan. I don't care if it isn't suitable for a funeral or the themes have nothing to do with a funeral, but i'd like dillinger escape plan at my funeral:) and maybe also a current 93 song

I won't have one because I plan to live forever.

I plan to have this as one of the songs played at my funeral.

lol...it would have to be a lil bit of Madness

^^

I've left strict instruction with my daughter that nothing but Deep Purple is to be played, but I'm betting she slips in some Floyd, The Band, and The Tragically Hip (to honor my influences on her).

I'm sorry but Jimmy Barnes could never compare to The Band...EVER.

As for the lyrics, to me it's just a story.

Funny thing, but I was just telling my husband what music I want etc.

First off, closed coffin. All of my current artwork on display for my final one woman show, and the song that Annie Lennox sang at the end of the LOTR "INTO THE WEST". Also too many Enya songs to mention. (Unless my Son gets his way and has me cremated and turned into Diamonds! Then we will just do a memorial Art show and Concert!)

'Always look on the bright side of life' Eric Idle

Hotel California - The Eagles

At my funeral I want the song 'Ha Ha you're Dead' by Greenday. But i'm young so there'll probably be something better by the time i'm taking a dirtnap.

Wish You Were Here - Blackmore's Night

I'm Only Sleeping -- The Beatles

Maybe... I change mine to The Good Soldier -- NIN

Dust in the Wind performed by Will Ferrell.

"You're my boy Blue! You're my boy..."

Song of the Stars - Dead Can Dance

Ave Maria - Jasper Kyd rendition, dunno why im not religious just like the sound of it

Haha classic, I can't believe I forgot about that one!

Tears in Heaven -- Eric Clapton
Would you know my name if I saw you in Heaven?
Would it be the same if I saw you in Heaven?
I must be strong and carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong here in Heaven.

Would you hold my hand if I saw you in Heaven?
Would you help me stand if I saw you in Heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay here in Heaven.

Time can bring your down; time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart, have you begging please, begging please.

Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more tears in Heaven.

Would you know my name if I saw you in Heaven?
Would it be the same if I saw you in Heaven?
I must be strong and carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong here in Heaven.
'Cause I know I don't belong here in Heaven.


I miss my friend -- Darryl Worley

Love Me -- Colin Raye
If you get there before I do, don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then, Til I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, Me.
