Funeral Songs

[Farmer Reil]

Drawing inspiration from the "If you died tomorrow..." thread in The Lounge, which song or songs would you want at your funeral?

For me it would have to be Glory To The Brave by Hammerfall, and Land Of The Miracle by Edguy. Just because they're both beautiful, quiet songs by my favourite bands (and the former is all about heroes going to a better place and stuff).

Gorerotted - Fuck Your Arse With Broken Glass

It remains my favourite song to this very day. It might not be approved, but hell, it's my funeral, if I want a song played, it'll be played. At least show some respect to the dead me.

[Guest The Trooper]

Green Day - haha your dead (mainly for the fact i WOULD like the piss ripped out of me at my funeral. I am a comedian at heart and this would be like a fuck you goodbye kinda thing)

Ah fuck it, i'll just have the whole DSOTM album by Pink Floyd on repeat, it is the greatest thing in ma cd collection

[MalaCloudy Black]

"A Funeral Request" by Cathedral.

[Skummy]

Gorerotted - Fuck Your Arse With Broken Glass

I grew up with the drummer from Gorerotted, he used to live next door to my Gran, and he drummed in my brother's first band, and they were terrible.

Anyway, funeral song...either "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" by Pink Floyd or "Whiter Shade Of Pale" by King Curtis, I think.

[Hardcore Weapon Smasher]

Beck - Loser

A summary of my life.

[IAceI]

Anything by Coldplay. I'm dead so everyone else can suffer.

[The Chief]

death cab for cutie - i will follow you into the dark

yellowcard - how i go

[Turbo Yannis]

Man In The Box - Alice in Chains

Someone had to say it.

[Tarheels.]

Freebird, Tears In Heaven, maybe Good Riddance.

I would have a song called "you only move twice" by a swedish band call jeniferevr as it is hauntingly beautiful, then i would have a really ironic one, probably get some beegees "staying alive", also if i died in a weird way i would want a song that is about what i died from, example, die during a war i would have metallica "one"

ok, that was a bit longer than planned

[Lowerdeck]

At my cousin's, they had "I'll Be Missing You" by Puffy (the Sting sample). Didn't sound too bad, except it's really weird hearing a rap song at my particular church.

[NobBe Nobbs]

I'd have that Jose thing by the impersonator bloke.

"Glósóli" by Sigur Ros

"5 Years" by Bjork

"Finished Symphony" by Hybrid

People should listen to emotionally charged songs as I'm dead and they'll all miss me immensely!! (Y)

Or they should at least.

[Stone Cold]

"Highway to Hell" by AC/DC or "One Way Ticket to Hell" by The Darkness.

It's called "One Way Ticket to Hell And Back." Kinda makes it a whole lot more scary.....

[The Sultan of Swank]

I dunno about me, Most of the songs I would use were used at my friends funeral...

Off the top of my head,

Falling Down - Mad Caddies

If You Wanna Be Happy For The Rest of Your Life - The Skatalites

The Big Sleep - Streetlight Manifesto
