Funeral songs

[Diane]

Was listening on the radio this morning - apparently some Sydney Archbishop has said the prevalence for people to have the song "My Way" at their funerals shows a descent into egotistical behaviour amongst the general populace...

 

So I was just wondering, what song(s) do you want played at your funeral?

 

Mine is REM's "Everybody Hurts" - I don't want a dry eye in the house!

[NicF]

I don't care as I won't be able to hear it. I don't really want a funeral and want to either donate my body to medical science or be buried in a cardboard box in a field somewhere and I'd like a tree or something similar planted to give my family something to remember me by. Although as I'll be dead, if the people left behind want to do something else entirely well that's fine by me.

I'm going to be hovering over everyone at my funeral listening in, in my ghostly form! Once a control freak, always a control freak...!!!

YNWA for me. My MIL had REM

The Verve - The Drugs Don't work....

 

I thought about it at first as tongue in cheek.... but i reckon it would have the same effects as Everybody hurts...

 

All this talk of getting old

It's getting me down my love

Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown

This time I'm comin' down

 

And I hope you're thinking of me

As you lay down on your side

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

 

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

 

But I know I'm on a losing streak

'Cause I passed down my old street

And if you wanna show, then just let me know

And I'll sing in your ear again

 

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

 

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too

Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead

This time I'm comin' down

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too

But if you wanna show, just let me know

And I'll sing in your ear again

 

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

 

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

 

I'm never going down, I'm never coming down

No more, no more, no more, no more, no more

I'm never coming down, I'm never going down

No more, no more, no more, no more, no more

I'd just like to point out that Tyke is not the only Yorkshire person on the forum, although I'd like to think you wouldn't realise if you met me.

 

No offense taken to the comment Nicky, although Yorkshire is rather a large area and some parts are more interesting than others...
