    what a fucking great choice...been feeling that song a lot lately

    id probably go with 'this is a low' personally though

    i love that song...

    some people say its more like a 'wedding song' ( i heard Jennifer Aniston used it when she married b.pitt) but i like the 'mellowness' of it.

    Difficult choice...hmmm

    Off he goes - Pearl Jam
    Track 16 of Red Hot Chili Peppers' By the Way (Venice Queen?)
    Paradise City - Guns 'n' Roses

    But actually to entertain your guests there should be some funky music as well!

    So are these songs played at our own funeral or the last three songs we would want to hear before we die?

    Funeral:
    1. Something, anything by Led Zeppelin, probably "All My Love"
    2. Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley
    3. Something rockin, cuz if people are really at a service for me they would know I would want to listen to something rockin

    Last songs I hear:
    1. Again, anything Led Zeppelin
    2. The End by the Doors
    3. Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns by MLB

    i though i was the only sick person who picks their funural song. anyway, number one was and will always be ROAD TO NOWHERE By the Talking Heads.

    Number 2) The show must go on by Queen
    and finally Number 3. Why go by you know who.

    Natalie Merchant - Life Is Sweet
    Pearl Jam - Light Years
    10,000 Maniacs - Verdi Cries

    Edit: I might change one of them for 99 Red Balloons by Nena. Don't know which one, though.

    Desolation Row is a great song for almost any occasion.
    « One man's glory is another man's hell.
    You’re on the outside, never bound by such a spell.
    Together in the darkness, alone in the light.
    I took it upon me to be yours, Timmy,
    I’ll lead your angels and demons at play tonight......»

    First:Alive
    Middle :a song from blondie
    Last: You never walk alone
  • danedane Posts: 1,062
    The obvious choice would be "Alive", due to the chorus. But I'm not really shure the rest of the lyrics fits a funeral (not mine at least)
    Other than that, I would pick "Immortality" and "Gorgeous" by the danish band Kashmir.
    Not being a narcissist here, but having the line "the reverb you left is never over. Tolling for the only one who is not present " song at my funeral would be....uhm...killer :)

    Tom Waits has a ton of songs that would fit this occasion.

    howbout:

    That Feel
    Come On Up To the House
    Take It With Me When I Go
    Tom Traubert's Blues
    Innocent When You Dream
    Cold Cold Ground
    Train Song
    Anywhere I Lay My Head
    No One Knows I'm Gone
    Hold On

    the list could go on and on.....
    "What’s Orphans? I don’t know. Orphans is a dead end kid driving a coffin with big tires across the Ohio River wearing welding goggles and a wife beater with a lit firecracker in his ear." - Tom Waits

    Some yes, not too much. Cool voice yet very typical. Not quite easy listening.
