You get 3 songs at your funeral.......what are they?

[Dr.Destructo]

It's that time.
You're laid out to rest or interned in your urn.
The Wake is starting up. But part of your Will stipulates they have to play your most favorite 3 songs at your Wake.

What 3 songs are they?


Here are mine :

 

[excalibur]

Faith of Our Fathers for certain.

 

[Concerned American]

I Don't Want to Miss a Thing
The Time of My Life
Danny Boy
Not necessarily my favorite songs, but appropriate for the occasion.

 

[White 6]

It's that time.

What 3 songs are they?


Here are mine :

One would have to be:

 

[Chuz Life]

 

[dblack]

 

[otto105]

 

[Failzero]

Wagner “Prelude to act 3 Lowengren” Jane Russell singing “ One for my Baby” from Macau soundtrack , George Michael “ Cowboys & Angels”

 

[dblack]

Prine is a master lyricist, but this one always gets me:

"You never know how far from home you're feeling
Until you watch the shadows cross the ceiling"

... in part because when I first heard the song I was really depressed, and had just spent the entire day lying in bed, watching "the shadows cross the ceiling". I knew exactly what he meant.

[elchorizo]

Here are mine :

The three that I will be able to listen to.

 

[westwall]

I Can See Clearly Now-Jimmy Cliff

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life-Monty Python

Shambala- Three Dog Night

 

[LuckyDuck01!]

While not going to have a funeral or gravesite service, "if" I were to have a funeral, the three would be:
1. Oh Death by Ben Fuller.
2. Gloomy Sunday by Rezso Seress.
3. Funeral March by Chopin.
I figure that by the time those three are over, at least half the attendees would have slit their wrists.

 

[lg325]

1.Precious Lord take my hand/ Peace in the Valley
2.Rock of Ages/Farther Along
3.I 'll Fly Away/ Swing low Sweet Chariot
It's six songs but it is hard to decide. number two those are traditional at my family funerals.

I second that song. Another song that I would want done is one that I heard Alan Jackson sing not long after 9/11 took place. CMT did a three-hour commercial free concert that a whole bunch of singers took part in. On there, Alan did a song named "The Other Side Of Life". This was just weeks before he sang "Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning" for the first time. Right now, I can't find a clip anywhere online of Alan singing the song.

My third song would be this one from Alison Krauss.



God bless you and Alison and AJ and Enya always!!!

A few years ago, I went to the funeral of a co-worker who committed suicide. Apparently, this married woman with two teenage kids was having an affair with one of the senior managers and her husband found out.

The funeral was attended by many people from the same company, many of whom knew the full story.

Her cuckolded husband chose, "... one of my wife's favorite songs" to play at the funeral ...





Lesson to take away from this? ALWAYS choose your OWN funeral music.

^^^ Even if wishes are put out there, they can still be ignored. I remember my grandmother telling me when I was a kid that she wanted "Last Date" by the late Floyd Cramer played at her funeral. It was never played when she passed in 2013. I lost a cousin two years earlier who did not want to be cremated, but she was cremated anyway.

God bless you always!!!

Holly

 

[Elusivebutterfly]

Only one.
