Songs you want played at your funeral
 

I would like something like Spirit in the Sky, one of my friends thought Its a Great Day to be Alive would be good. What does OOT think?

Fade to Black


Life, it seems, will fade away,
Drifting further every day,
Getting lost within myself,
Nothing matters no one else,
I have lost the will to live,
Simply nothing more to give,
There is nothing more for me,
Need the end to set me free

Things not what they used to be,
Missing one inside of me,
Deathly lost, this can't be real,
Cannot stand this hell I feel,
Emptiness is filling me,
To the point of agony,
Growing darkness taking dawn,
I was me, but now he's gone

No one but me can save myself, but it's too late,
Now I can't think, think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed,
Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye

So she's going to say her final farewell to you not through me but, inevitably, ever so coolly, through the immortal genius of the Bay City Rollers.

"Bye bye baby, baby goodbye

"Goodbye baby, baby bye bye

"Bye bye baby

"Don't make me cry "Goodbye baby, baby bye bye

"You're the one girl in town I'd marry

"Girl I'd marry you now if I were free

"I wish it could be

"I could love you but why begin it?

"Cos there ain't any future in it

"She's got me but I'm not free so..."

"Bye bye baby, baby goodbye

"Goodbye baby, baby bye bye

"Bye bye baby, don't make me cry

"Goodbye baby, baby bye bye

"Wish I never had known you..."

first one i thought of.



Do You Realize
that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize
we're floating in space -
Do You Realize
that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize
that everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes
let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize
Oh Oh Oh
Do You Realize
that everyone you know
Someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes
let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize
that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize

Re: Songs you want played at your funeral
 

The Ludlows, from Legends of the Fall. Or, Warren Zevon, Keep Me In Your Heart.

Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath
Keep me in your heart for awhile

If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less
Keep me in your heart for awhile

When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for while

There's a train leaving nightly called when all is said and done
Keep me in your heart for while

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for while

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for while

Sometimes when you're doing simple things around the house
Maybe you'll think of me and smile

You know I'm tied to you like the buttons on your blouse
Keep me in your heart for while

Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams
Touch me as I fall into view
When the winter comes keep the fires lit
And I will be right next to you

Engine driver's headed north to Pleasant Stream
Keep me in your heart for while

These wheels keep turning but they're running out of steam
Keep me in your heart for while

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for while

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo
Keep me in your heart for while

Keep me in your heart for while

Closer by Nine Inch Nails

Re: Songs you want played at your funeral
 

I sang "Just a Closer Walk With Thee" at my Grandmother's funeral last weekend. That's on the list for songs I'd consider playing. I'd feel really weird having some rock song played at any funeral I attended, so I wouldn't pick any of them.
