What songs would you want played at your funeral? (If you ask what the point this thread is, I'll just shrug).

  • Nearer, My God, To Thee
  • Battle Hymn of the Republic
  • Eternal Father
  • Star-Spangled Banner (dammit, I want them to know I went down fighting for America! :D )
  • Adagio for Strings
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Can't say I ever really thought about my funeral. Not gonna start now.
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

Shaun Groves - The Last Notes:

[q]There is a part of me
That's only visiting
Torn from eternity
A stranger here
The awkward mingling of
The loveless and beloved
So far from things above
While I am here
So when the last notes of my soul's summer symphony
Go stealing through this old world's cold garden gates
I will hold no fear as You close my book of hours
And the hands of heaven carry me
Carry me home to stay
O Death where is your sting
Your tears and your tremblings
His peace is lingering
Even now
O Grave the battle's fought
Your vict'ry has been lost
To Christ who gave it all
To take me now
(Love, love, love, love)[/q]

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

"When ink and pen in hands of men Inscribe your form, bipedal P They draw an altar on which God has slaughtered all stability, no eyes could ever soak in all the places you anoint, and yet to see you all at once we only need the point. Flirting with infinity, your geometric progeny that fit inside you oh so tight with triangles that feel so right."

Hmmm. Tricky one, this...

Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast (gotta have this - best song ever ever ever)
Isen Torr - Mighty and Superior (close run thing with NOTB for best song ever...)
Iron Maiden - The Prisoner
Orange Goblin - Some You Win, Some You Lose
Wossisname - Addagio for Strings (you might know it from Platoon, when the guy gets shot up running out of the jungle)
AC/DC - Highway To Hell (outstanding choice, Solatar :D )
Faith No More - Small Victory
Faith No More - Easy
Iced Earth - I Died for You
Iced Earth - Violate (gotta get a singalong going on the chorus for this ;))

EDIT: Ooh, and Goatsnake's cover of Sabbath's Who Are You. Listening to it now. 'tis better than the original - no joke. Heavy as all hell, and it's got a lovely strings synth bit towards the end...

Probably a load of other too, but I can't remember atm. Anyway, my funeral is going to be a huge bash, with load music, lots of beer, and general partying. And everyone has to turn up in denim and bullet belts, and generally have a bloody good time :nod:

I want my corpse to come flailing down on a zip line as people are entering while AC\DC's "Highway to Hell" plays.  After they get what's left of me down from the line, I will be burned to the tune of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World".  And finally my ashes will be entombed in a family vault somewhere in Massachusetts to a bagpipe solo of  "Amazing Grace" .

Have a little fun, but don't let that be all they remember when you leave them.
