Springsteen track for a funeral

[KJP]

The acoustic version of no surrender could also be a good shout

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

If you're looking for a rollicking song to send him/her off to No Surrender will perfectly fit the bill IMHO.

Terry's Song was written for a lost friend, details in the link. And it's not too morbid!

 

[Vegas Seagull]

If female then Secret Garden may just be the one

 

[studio150]

i would go for 'the rising' which was written as a reaction to 9/11, but seen by many as uplifting.

For anything more sombre I would go for anything from 'Nebraska'

 

[Southern Scouse]

The River for me.

 

[seagullwedgee]

Some day we'll be together.

Google it, there's a youtube clip, the lyrics fit really well.

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

At our good friend, Roy Chuter's funeral, there was quite a few Springsteen tracks. Wonderful & moving send off with no religion involved. just how he wanted it.

Er, you might want to check the lyrics! Beautiful song, anyway.

This is Terry's song, ideal for a really close best mate. The lyrics are very meaningful

[Mr Smggles]

Thunder Road is a classic.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Another one for a best mate. [yt]LgMCTHTJov4[/yt]

 

[Spider]

Bobby Jean, bittersweet but upbeat

The Promise, weepy

The Wrestler, just sounds like it would work (though it's not a track I'm massively fond of)

Racing in the Street, Springsteen Classic!

Badlands or The Promised Land

You misunderstand them, as many do...

When I go I want my service to end with 'The Last Carnival'

 

[albie_noobs]

If it's for a bloke, you could do worse than spinning The Promise, from the CD of the same name, which are the outtakes from the 1978 Darkness On The Edge Of Town sessions

Includes the killer line, 'All my life I've fought this fight, the fight that no man can ever win, every day it gets harder to live, this dream I'm believin' in...'

And it's a ballad

Another vote for 'The Promise', beautiful track, written around the same time as Born to run but discarded along with some other quality material. Springsteen was absolutely prolific around this time and a lot of stuff never saw the light of day until much later.

 

[topbanana36]

Thunder Road' all day long

absolutely this

Quite possibly, but so might the mourners!

Enlighten me...
