What song and/or album would (or will) you pick...

...to play at your funeral?

...to play at your funeral?

No brainer for me. My friends and family already know the answer to this:

(and I was at the show where the video link was made last week).

Funny you should post that just as I was sending the song to a friend.

 

[Ravi]

Amazing Grace.

 

[manifold]

Amazing Grace.

An obvious choice no doubt.


But I had you pegged as perhaps more...Sinatra's My Way.

 

[AllieBaba]

Will the Circle Be Unbroken.

 

[Ravi]

Not my type of music.

I wouldn't want something played that was a favorite at the funeral...now, maybe at the wake...

My guess for you would be The Good Ship Lollipop.

Yeah, I shoulda said wake. That's actually what I meant.

I'm leaning toward Tull's "A Passion Play"

YouTube - Leonard Cohen Hallelujah

Great song... but I like the Rufus Wainwright version:

Oh, I LOVE that version!

Thanks!

My pleasure.

 

[Ravi]

I'd go with something sobby...Billie Holiday, Jeff Beck's Bridge of Sighs, Robert Cray.

 

[AllieBaba]

Oooh...Robert Cray....not the one about him shooting his woman, though.....that would be a little much.

 

[Epsilon Delta]

I'm gonna go for "Rock and Roll All Nite" by Kiss.

[Ravi]

Robin Trower. Wow, how did I mess that one up?

 

[CA95380]

Enya - Only Time

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IjIG_7Zt4U]YouTube - Enya- Only Time[/ame]

Played it at our oldest son's funeral. Still one of my favorites.

 

[Gunny]

The Dance by Garth Brooks

 

[Inferno]

I would have them play Imagine by John Lennon

 

[builder24car]

Fade to Black by METALLICA comes to mind for me..............

 

[Striker]

Dust in the Wind/Kansas.
