Songs for a funeral.

HaydenAsche · 12.08.2007, 03:00 PM

I'm doing a project on my life and I can't think of what songs I want to play at my funeral. Help a brother out.

HaydenAsche · 12.08.2007, 03:02 PM

The two that I can kind of think of:
For the Widows in Paradise, For the Fathers in Ypsilanti
Needle in the Hay

which kind of "emotions" are you going for?
I'd say
all we ever wanted was everything - Bauhaus
First Breath after Coma - Eits
Tinsel and Foil - Paik

Work backwards. What kind of emotions do you want to express at your funeral? What songs give off that feeling?

The funeral party - The Cure

avantgarde1 · 12.08.2007, 04:46 PM

well at my funeral i want (in this order):
damien jurado - fuel
nick cave - people ain't no good
sonic youth - karen koltrane

HaydenAsche · 12.08.2007, 04:55 PM

I don't really know what emotions. I really like the Bauhaus idea. Thanks, guys.

Stooges - Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell

Roll Out The Barrel
Muppet Show theme

In all seriousness though, something by La Monte Young would be good, as would "Dreamweapon" by Spacemen 3 (my personal choice for my personal funeral). Both of these embody the concept of Eternal Music, which is a beautiful counterpart to the eternity one enters upon death.

avantgarde1 · 12.08.2007, 05:13 PM

oh yeah, and rue st vincent by yves montand. i love that song.

Torn Curtain · 12.08.2007, 05:28 PM

My death performed by David Bowie

Cantankerous · 12.08.2007, 05:54 PM

going underground - the jam
hahaha sorry that was tasteless.

HaydenAsche · 12.08.2007, 05:55 PM

Which is why I love you, tanky.

Do you not use msn anymore?

Something tells me Fillmore Jive would be way better. "I need to sleep, why won't you let me!?" as the coffin is lowered down..
