What Would Be Your Funeral Song?
 

Ok, so not the nicest of topics, but have you ever thought what song you would like played as a final farewell to your friends and family?


I would want this song, just such an amazng and emotional piece that makes me feel down, yet makes me feel on top of the world, lol.

Was just listening to that earlier ^^

I want The Waterboys' "Whole of the Moon played at mine

Hmm never really thought about it tbh. One of my teacher's was saying that he went to a funeral, and as they were lowering the coffin into the ground they played the Countdown music :laugh:

I'm not sure if I'd want sometime upbeat or more emotional, maybe Don't Look Back in Anger or something like that

Katherine Jenkins - Time To Say Goodbye :love:

Yeah, was a at a friends funeral recently and they played Oasis' "Live Forever" and although I can't listen to it now, it was so much nicer and more personal than some dirge beingplayed by an old codger on the organ!

For fun which I love - Living in a box

For my family I'd like a poem read -

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.

You are all very depressing it is like being in death's waiting room here

Oh I had it now I forget.

I'll get back to you.

Oh ****** it, I have loads of ideas:







Chicane - Popiholla ;)
Oasis - Stop Crying Your Heart Out
Red Light Company - Meccano
Time To Say Goodbye [With A Big Brother Montage Being Projected Onto The Wall]
Greenday - Time Of Your Life [Good Riddance]
Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars
James Blunt - You're Beautiful [In the outcome that I kill myself over a girl]
Elbow - One Day Like This
Lady GaGa - Love Game [Lol jk]

The Jam - Going Underground







:joker:

:joker::joker::joker:

Guns n Roses - Knocking on Heaven's Door

or

Alter Bridge - Watch Over You

or

3 Doors Down - When I'm Gone

something by enigma

it is irrelevant as you are dead

I would pick this one as it was my first dance song plus the lyrics would be fitting(ish)

I like to think I'll live to a venerable old age, so either of these:

Mine is REMs 'Everybody hurts'.
also,Breathe by Midge Ure.

that already reminds me of someones funeral:bawling:

ROFL. How nice...

“Con Te Partiro” by Andrea Bocelli
“Nessun Dorma” by Luciano Pavarotti
“Everybody Hurts” by REM
"Losing my Religion" by REM
"Fade to Black" by Metallica
“Father and Son” and “Oh Very Young” by Cat Stevens
“Cry” by James Blunt
“One Love” by Bob Marley
“Turn, Turn, Turn” by Judy Collins
“Holding back the Years” by Simply Red
“Twilight Time” by The Platters

My nan had "Ring of fire" as the curtain went round :L

:joker:

That is probably the worst poem i have ever read... off course you ****ing died..

Oh, I'd have to have that too!

I'm gonna be cremated. I'd be too scared of waking up buried alive...

The Lonely Shepherd - Zamfir and Both Sides Now Joni Mitchell
At my dads funeral I played Over the Rainbow the Israel Kamakawiwo'ole version and the theme from The Great Escape

The Lord's My Shepherd

My Way - Frank Sinatra

A Requiem Mass of course.

Try reading between the lines and break away from such uninventive and lacklustre thinking. Poetry is more than just the words that you see at first glance.

aw that was read out at my best friends funeral.

It is realistic thinking more then anything.... " I am not there i did not die " what happened then? seriously half this ****e sounds good when you read it but makes no sense at all

Edvard Grieg - The Last Spring

I can't give you the meaning you get from the poem, but to me it represents that even though you pass from this world, you are still alive in people's memories and hearts.

That's engraved onto my nan's tombstone.

or goodbye cruel world.

Me too!!
I will make sue I would have a bell inside.:hugesmile:
