what tune do you want played at your funeral?

Toryglen-boy · 25 Apr 2006 at 23:40

a bit morbid this one, but i thought i would ask, as we where talking about it today at work, my choices would be

1. Adagio for Strings (the Samuel Barber version not the dance version) becuase i want everyone to cry at my send off ...

2. the theme from "The Big Top"

i know .. it just seemed fitting for my life !!

you?

I was thinking of Adagio for Strings as the thread loaded

Always look on the bright side of life might be a good un.

Snow Patrol - Run.

The Meteors - **** Off And Die

That's on the proviso that I'd found out there is a heaven and I got in and I could sit up there and watch everyone go :eek:

If i were to die now, i'd want Adrift and at peace by Nine Inch Nails played at my funeral. Nice song and hopefully where i'll be when i'm dead.

Stravinsky's Rite of Spring might be amusing

As soon as I saw Platoon back in 1987 I thought, "Damn, that's what I'll have played at my funeral".

As things stand now though, somebody in my family would probably play one of my recordings of Elvis songs.

GOd moving over the face of the waters - Moby

its played at the end of heat when de niro dies and its quite literally some of the best film making in history, when pacino holds his hand as he dies.

I was absolutly gutted and still am everytime i watch it and the music just cuts the emotional strings in half, the music really makes you think (at least i think) about what you have done in your life.

Start with : Imperial Death March from Star Wars

Leave to : Don't Stop Me Now by Queen

It'd have to be Plug In Baby - not only because it's a decent song, but because it's the one all my friends and family remember me by as I used to play it 24/7 for about 3 years.

This thread has been around before, and my answer still hasn't changed ~

Orbital - Halcyon on and on

A5H · 26 Apr 2006 at 00:13

Metallica - Fade to black

or

Nothing else matters

I just find that particular song particularly nice and peaceful.

Or if i wanted everyone sad then i'd go for a warm place, such a horifically sad song, or at least it sounds like one anyway as it's an instrumental.

PardonTheWait · 26 Apr 2006 at 00:21

I amend - if I died tomorrow I would want Lullabies by Defiance, Ohio played. Everyone would blub to the MAX.

tiesto - in my memory
