mike1963 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Hi all just wondering what song would you like played at your funeral - personally I'd like to go for Zeppelin's "In my time of dying" monster track) but at 11:04 might be asking a bit much ant thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrus Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 The Smiths, There is a Light that Never goes out. Joy Division, Love will Tear us Apart. Richard Ashcroft, Into the Brave New World. (I hope I see you on the other side) Average White Band, Tower of Power. More Kante, Yeke Yeke, (hard floor mix.) B-mex (Sasha) Apolonia. Sorry theres so many but, I can't choose one, there would be more too. I'd like hours of music that typifies me. Ending on a real happy note with loads of dance and disco. All this instead of people crying and giving speaches they can hardly say. redrus Ps; good thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeky Farang Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I DID IT MY WAY And now, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain. My friend, I’ll say it clear, I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain. I’ve lived a life that’s full. I’ve traveled each and ev’ry highway; And more, much more than this, I did it my way. Regrets, I’ve had a few; But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption. I planned each charted course; Each careful step along the byway, But more, much more than this, I did it my way. Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew. But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way. I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried. I’ve had my fill; my share of losing. And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing. To think I did all that; And may I say - not in a shy way, No, oh no not me, I did it my way. For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels; And not the words of one who kneels. The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way!

tutsiwarrior Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 what a bunch of tossers...wanting popular music at a funeral for my own taste and to respect those that will come to see me off with the solemnity that the occasion deserves the second movement of J.S. Bach's Violin Concierto in E minor (cant remember the BVW number) the second movement is a dirge with a distinct musical passage that will allow my wicked soul into heaven when my mother died in Cochabamba there weren't no music...I hummed it on the way to the graveyard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsme Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Agreed with LaoPo Queen - "Who wants to live forever?"

Tippaporn Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 (edited) Agreed with LaoPo Queen - "Who wants to live forever?"Agreed with Redrus, I'd hate to see crying ppl to my funeral (uncertain if I'll be able to see ) so I'll make sure to leave enough money for my funeral and for a good piss up party on my will Ditto Rus and itsme. No cryin' and sorrow at my funeral. Have a good time or don't come at all. I'll leave money for the party. I'll be hangin' around somewhere, though. Most westerners wouldn't be able to see me but I suspect I might be glimpsed by some of the Thais. Great selection of songs by all. And that includes the two other similar threads of last year by Jai Dee and Mr. Thomas Merton. I never thought about it before but if I have a Thai funeral (which it appears I will) I'll need to come up with a week's worth of music! Still not enough time to cover every song I love. Even though it's been done before, good topic! Edited March 19, 2006 by Tippaporn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdnvic Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Should be reasonably non-morbid, but also a celebration of some of my favourite music, focusing on insturmentals. White Hot - Red Rider (The version with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra) Pachelbel's Canon in G - Full orchestration with a bias toward the strings Piper's Lament - With a live piper if possible. Take The A Train - Duke Ellington Theme From A Summer Place and Theme From Moulin Rouge - Percy Faith Orchestra Rebel Rouser - Duane Eddy (An extended Duane Eddy mix would be nice) Carmen - Herb Alpert Stranger On The Shore - Aker Bilk cv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiPauly Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Stranger On The Shore - Aker Bilkcv I have not thought about that tune in 25 years. I remember it now you mention it Aker used to wear a bowler hat and a striped waistcoat as I recall Beautiful tune.....but guaranteed to get the tears rolling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
