I would go with "Got Me Wrong" AIC and "Circle and the Line" Brad and then "Low Light" PJ
I hope that there is a lot of music at my funeral. I would want people to play songs that reminded them of me. as irreverent or touching as they want to be.

AFTERIMAGE.....RUSH from the album Grace Under Pressure "Afterimage"
Suddenly, you were gone
From all the lives you left your mark upon
I remember
How we talked and drank into the misty dawn
I hear the voices
We ran by the water on the wet summer lawn
I see the footprints
I remember
I feel the way you would
I feel the way you would
Tried to believe but you know it's no good
This is something that just can't be understood
I remember
The shouts of joy skiing fast through the woods
I hear the echoes
I learned your love for life,
I feel the way that you would
I feel your presence
I remember
I feel the way you would
This just can't be understood...
-ALONE-...BEN HARPER
This empty room it fills my mind
Freedom it leaves me so confined
Every single bone has cracked
But in this life, you can't turn back
I don't want to live
I don't want to live here alone, alone, alone, alone
As these words part with my tongue
I question why they're even sung
I promise but I lie
I don't even know myself inside
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be here alone, alone, alone, alone
Today and tomorrow have become one
Every single thing has become none
Human nature is a beast
What ive done the most, to show i have the least
Please don't leave me here
Please don't leave me here
Don't you leave me alone, alone, alone
How could I leave those songs off the list.
Peace

I suppose if I was the have a whole funeral album I'd include Dead Can Dance, This Mortal Coil, maybe some Nirvana, Bowie and maybe "Vampire" by Annie Lennox.
I think I would first have 'ARC' played then 'RELEASE' and then close it up with that song from Touring Band extras of the band. It's slow and I thnk it is called Instumental 2. At least that's what it's labeled as on my ipod.
So 3 different songs, but 2 of them are total 2 minutes together...

Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead
decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb. Shortly thereafter
he grew a beard.
I plan on living forever, but if that doesn't work out, how about light years? I've always thought of Man of the hour as, like a holiday we should create...Like, every year, pick one loved one from your family and say things about them while they are here, So they know you love them. Kind of like a living funeral. Everyone get together and say how much they love the family member. I don;t know,.... other than that, I read this today and thought it was beautiful:
Don;t stand by my grave and weep,
For I am not there.
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond's glint on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
In the soft hush of morning's light
I am the swift bird in flight.
Don't stand by my grave and cry
I am not there,
I did not die
Made me think of my dad, look around outside and smile today, when i normally cry at his grave.
