Title: What would you want played at your funeral?
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on July 04, 2003, 05:45:31 am: In the spirit of the fairly inane threads of late, I have taken it upon myself to start this one.
If this only adds to the effects that brought about my title, then so be it.

So, what music would you want played at your funeral?

I would have either O Fortuna, or Van Den Budenmeyer - Winds.
(Unlike my Uncle, who requested that Hawaiian music be played at his)

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on July 04, 2003, 05:50:25 am: Although if I was cremated rather than buried, I'd have something along the lines of Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire, or Prodigy's Firestarter.:D

Beware my friends, as you pass by
As you are now so once was I
As I'm now so you must be
Prepare my friends to follow me

Post by: Fineus on July 04, 2003, 07:49:21 am: Ahh, simple.

Tool - Eulogy :thepimp:

He had alot to say.
He had alot of nothing to say.
We'll miss him.

So long.
We wish you well.
You told us how you weren't afraid to die.
Well then, so long.
Don't cry.
Or feel too down.
Not all martyrs see divinity.
But at least you tried.

Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice that was strong and loud.
We'll miss him.
Ranting and pointing his finger
At everything but his heart.
We'll miss him.

No way to recall
What it was that you had said to me,
Like I care at all.

So loud.
You sure could yell.
You took a stand on every little thing
And so loud.

Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice so strong and loud and I
Swallowed his facade cuz I'm so
Eager to identify with
Someone above the ground,
Someone who seemed to feel the same,
Someone prepared to lead the way, with
Someone who would die for me.

Will you? Will you now?
Would you die for me?
Don't you ****in lie.

Don't you step out of line.
Don't you ****in lie.

You've claimed all this time that you would die for me.
Why then are you so surprised to hear your own eulogy?

You had alot to say.
You had alot of nothing to say.

Come down.
Get off your ****in cross.
We need the ****in space to nail the next fool martyr.

To ascend you must die.
You must be crucified
For your sins and your lies. [sic]
Goodbye...

Post by: Kamikaze on July 04, 2003, 12:11:05 pm: ah, quite a morbid thread :D

I'd want Threnody for the victims of Hiroshima by Penderecki, that song is very disturbing when you listen to it at high volumes, especially if you don't know what to expect.

You know, when Spike Milligan died and people were asked to comment, Paul Whitehouse said "sounds like attention-seeking to me". Now that's funny.

Flipside :)

[color=66ff00]Some are, hopefully mine will be. Some do have little but mourning which is quite sad considering that the vast majority of people here are catholic and should by belief be celebrating the fact that their loved ones have 'gone to a better place'.

Something I've always found strange...
