Have you got your 5 songs for your funeral ??

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

I will need to think about it. None of my friends nor family would tolerate five songs though. Two maybe, three max.

I've always thought "Your Silent Face" by New Order would be one, in part due to the last line "You caught me at a bad time / So why don't you piss off."

And Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here."

Especially when the first one is the full length run through of Quadraphenia Foggy.........

I love that record but it’s not exactly me — I like it for its Englishness. But maybe I’d do with “The Rock”, my second favo(u)rite instrumental of all time after “La Villa Strangiato.”

Them Bones - Alice In Chains
Down in a hole - Alice in Chains
Man in the box - Alice in Chains
Rain when I die - Alice in Chains
Agadoo - Black Lace

No cremation for you then?

FFS why aren’t you on the BM album thread? Could use you to add some quality/difference!

If drunken promises from 20 years ago mean anything I'll not be needing any songs.

Couple of mates "promised" to raid the funeral home, nick by body, stick it in one of those big wicker hamper things along with a load of rocks, tie it all up securely, and then sling it in the local reservoir.

Sorted!
Jobs a good 'un!

Plus added bonus of possibly becoming a future "cold case" for the coppers to never solve.
What's not to like? ;)

Couldn't give a shit , I'll be dead

For me.
And Nothing Is For Ever - The Cure
Waltzing Along - James
All I'm Saying - James
I Am The Resurrection - The Stone Roses
Another One Bites The Dust - Queen

That Cure song is one of the saddest songs I've ever heard and I struggle to listen to it. I should add that I like the Cure too!

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Still working on other contenders but two more . . .

"Here Comes The Flood" -- Peter Gabriel
"Home" -- Foo Fighters (sorry -- it's a great song though)

Direct cremation, no funeral. Under a grand.
