Title: Which Music Would You Like Played At Your 'Funeral' ?
Post by: mongers on January 06, 2012, 04:26:04 PM

Continuing the theme about music and significant life events,

Which Music Would You Like Played At Your 'Funeral', If Any ?

For me, nothing. Hopefully I'll peg it out in the middle of nowhere and won't be discovered for years, so perhaps I'll say birdsong or the sounds of nature.

Why would I have music? I can't hear it. Also, nobody will show up.

Don't You Forget About Me.

My pall bearers will hold tape players up to the mob. It'll be beautiful.

If I can't have peace and quiet at my own funeral when can I?

We always go for cremations in my family.

So I think I'll request Fire by Arthur Brown to be played as the coffin slips away..............

You know I think I could put you in-touch with someone who could probably get him to do in person, probably wouldn't be that expensive. :cool:

I change my mind all the time.

Though I do like Clandestino's choice of the Stone Roses "I Wanna Be Adored," from an incarnation of this thread 5 years ago...

If I could get a decent performance of Fauré's Reqiuem, I'd nod along enthusiastically in my coffin.
