Here's something morbid...
 

Have you already picked your funeral song?

As i mentioned in another thread mine is...

The Cure - Treasure

just change "I Loved Only You" to "I Loved All Of You"

Anyone else planned this far ahead? :amused:

No...

...'Cause when I'll be dead, I won't care anymore. I'll be dead. Because when you are dead, you are really rarely caring. You are pretty much very very dead.

I second that only, funeral songs can have an impact. In my mate's funeral, the piano player played one song I'd never expect hearing in a church: A song written by one of our greatest street poets ever. That was intense. But as for me: I don't give a sh%#t. Let them play ABBA for all I care. I won't be there to listen.

I'm going to have to go with this.

Something as this will do, if I still will care, is another matter.

Well, it used to be Nine Inch Nails - Hurt. But since I'm feeling better nowadays a lot of songs could apply.

Some of Aphex Twins ambient works would do fine for example. First Parallel Stripes, in which people may contemplate or something, and when the coffin lowers Shiny Metal Rods, or Depeche Mode - Home. Hmm, I need to write that down one day.

Sure, I myself may be dead, but I know what impact funerals and their songs (moods) can have on a person. When my mother passed they played Brian Eno's Prophecy Theme Made quite an impression on people, including myself ofcourse. It turned the whole ceremonial drag into something special.

that would be really really really odd

lulu- your funeral music would be awesome!

Funerals are ceremonies for the people who stay alive, I'm sure they'll choose what pleases them best, so there's no need for me to make any arrangements. If I really wanted to send some kind of message it would make more sense for me to do it while I'm alive.

"Making of a Cyborg" by Kenji Kawaii.
There's just something appropriate about it.

To be honest, I wouldn't want a funeral. Quite frankly, I find the idea repugnant. I'd far rather have a sort of going-away party, with champagne and cake - lots and lots of cake - and mountains of flowers. (White roses for preference.) The twist would be that everyone would get to take a rose or two home with them: It's not like there are no flowers in heaven, so I wouldn't be needing them. And there'd be music for everyone to dance to, because that's what I'd be doing in heaven, and why should they be any different? :)

So, a wake then :)

I think I would play the main title theme from Fallout 3.

What? It kicks musical ass.

But, with any luck, I won't need to worry about that for another 70 years or so. I hope.

I concur, about the 70 odd years bit :)

How about we just spread the joy of whatever music we'd like, rather than ruminating on the nature of life and how we view that through the looking glass of our hypothetical deaths. Ugh.

also, after Yakety Sax, I'd most likely want this song... without the terrible youtube homemade video clip though :)

Just as long as no o ne chooses Banana Phone.

The best funeral song ever is this one.

PS: It is really a funeral song.

Sunn O))) & Boris - The Sinking Belle

pimpass, although the vocals creates bloodfountains from my ears, but pimpass nonetheless 8D



At my funeral, i want Burzum - Han Som Reiste, and the title even fits..But as i plan to live to the end of eternity, that will not be nessecery :B

I don't want a funeral as such myself.... ive told everyone that i wanna be laid out somewhere rural and let the person who thinks they know me best pick the seed of a tree they think tipifies my personality and place it in my mouth. As i decompose i hope my energy transfers and if anyone still cares they can come commune with my tree-self :) lmao

saves on any negative reincarnation i may incur due to years of offensive behaviour while also hedging my bets on the existence of heaven as i assume its gotta be a boring goodytwoshoes kinda place to end up :)

Without understanding the nature of life and apprectiating what we have by ruminating on our possible deaths, how else do we truly appreciate the opportunities we have before us? lol

Heh, true, here take this incredibly expensive momento mori :D

:omg: But why?

I'm not much of a fan of Boris either, but that song is really appropriate for a funeral.

I'll put a line in my testament saying that at my funeral, I want everyone doing the peanut butter jelly time dance.
And with the costumes.

Cool topic.

I think about it sometimes when i hear a nice song.

Can think of only one now: Strange World by Iron Maiden. All about a person who passed on and is very happy in his strange new world :)

Lmao! I missed this topic!

I don't want to think about funerals for now ^_^

But Lulu's song is an awesome choice. I sense a great event coming in the far future.

i've had my funeral planned out for a loooong time :)

The song that will be playing is "Dont stop believing" by Journey, and i intend for everyone to receive a complimentary lighter upon entering the cemetery, then, as the song begins to play, they'll all hold up the lighters, flick them on, and sway them back and forth! it'll be magical!

Little do they know, i've cursed the world, so that when "Don't Stop Believing" is played in a cemetery, the dead will rise from their graves, and eat everyone, causing a zombie apocalypse! And I'll be their king! MUA HAHAHAHA

Pop Goes The Weasel

To be honest, I really won't care mainly because I'm dead.

But if they play shitty Christian Rock songs, I'll wake up and kill 'em all.

I do not plan on dying.
But should it happen "Nibiru - Against The Sons Of Iniquity" should be played at my funeral.

All they need to do at my funeral is to open up Rhythmbox on my Ubuntu PC and rock the fuck out.

EDIT:

I changed my mind. At my funeral, it'd be Life Goes On by Tupac. Because 50% of the people there would probably laugh their ass off, and the other half would be really uncomfortable.

In fact, I want to kill myself now so I can observe their reaction from hell.
