What song would you have played at your funeral?
Mine would be: " Bring me to Life" by Evanescence

I have no clue. My tastes might change, others might not find it appropriate, and so on.
But I'll tell you what I like the idea of. It's from this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Next_P ... G_episode)
"In Ten-Forward, the memorial Data has arranged is much more like a party than a funeral. Data asks Dr. Crusher what she thinks, and she is pleased that everyone is happily sharing their memories of the lost officers."
You'd have to see it to get the full effect. But that's what I'd want. As for music... well, if I did have to pick a song, it'd be maybe May It Be, or something similar from Enya.
"May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How are you are from home
Mornie utulie (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantie (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
May it be shadows call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun
Mornie utulie (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantie (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
A promise lives within you now"
Though with a certain twist of humor I like Exquisite Dead Guy from They Might Be Giants.
"Exquisite dead guy
Rotating in his display case
Exquisite dead guy
Swear I saw his mouth move
Exquisite dead guy
Outside my high rise apartment
Exquisite dead guy
Hanging from a skyhook
How am I supposed to let you know the way I feel
About you
How am I supposed to let you know the way I feel
About you "

I have no clue. I've never thought about it before, actually. @_@ Umm, off the top of my head, Jewel's "Angel Standing By" would be kind of neat I guess lol.
All through the night I'll be watching over you
And all through the night I'll be standing over you
And through bad dreams I'll be right there baby
telling you everything's going to be alright
When you cry I'll be there baby
telling you were never nothing less than beautiful
So don't you worry
I'm you Angel standing by
All through the night I'll be watching over you

And through bad dreams I'll be right there baby

Hmm, I actually want Mitch Hedberg's "Mitch All Together" playing, I always figured it would be a good way to add some levity and joy to a situation that needs it.

They said that on Saturday evening Arsenius used to turn his back to the setting sun and stretch out his hands towards heaven and pray until, at dawn on Sunday, the rising sun lit up his face, and then he sat down again.

Airships, by VNV Nation for me.
I stepped into a new world watching you fly
saw you as a friend, the spirit of dreams
I imagined a new world, lands far away
imagined those faces as you hung in their sky
I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world
now I'm leaving home, leaving everything that I have ever known
I step into this new world
leaving everything

I've seen that episode several times. I love Star Trek =O.Sonic# wrote: But I'll tell you what I like the idea of. It's from this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Next_P ... G_episode)
Back to the post, well, I dunno. I really don't want to sound like a theif, but I LOVE this song, and I have considered it being one of the songs played at mine.
LotR: RotK: Into the West (Oh God, I hope no one gets mad at me for this.)
There are others, but I haven't really picked a good one. Another song though, is In The End by Linkin Park, which is my favorite song currently.
Trust me, I've probably given this more thought than most people here, as death seems to like to loom over my head constantly.

Dude, I used LOTR too. And actually considered this song. I just picked Enya because she has more personal relevance to my life, but I like that choice too.LotR: RotK: Into the West (Oh God, I hope no one gets mad at me for this.)
You could make it the background noise of the universe!John Cage's 4'33"
After that, I think I'll have 30 minutes of static noise.
I've always been a fan of 4'33". Epic musical writing.

Well, I wouldn't expect someone get mad over LotR music, but I meant the song I picked because if memory serves me right, it was already used.Sonic# wrote:Dude, I used LOTR too.

I know what you mean. I had a relationship that ended badly and there is a cd and a few songs that remind me of her, it is painfull to listen to them sometimes, sadly they are like some of my fav songs And after my Grandma died I couldn't listen to a few songs without breaking down, I still get emotional with the songs, but not as much.
