[Music] Your funeral music

[WATFORD zero]

Over the years i have always had this conversation with my mates, and sadly, seen a few of these played out. So what are your three pieces. Entering, the bit in the middle, and when the coffin goes off. I think I've settled on these and they haven't changed in the last few years

The middle bit



The end

 

[The Rattler]

“Can’t get out of bed” - Charlatans
“Heaven knows I’m miserable now” - Smiths
And GOSBTS obviously

 

[banjo]

I’m on my way, I’m on my way
Where I’m going I don’t know
Where I’m going I don’t care
All I know is I’m on my way……,

 

[Is it PotG?]

My missus will totally ignore my wishes and put her Alanis Morrisette CD on anyway.

I won't be able to hear anything to the contrary so whatever.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Entering: Sussex By The Sea.
No middle bit.
Coffin: Sympathy For The Devil - Stones.

My ashes will then be made into a firework and I’ll be fired out over the channel from Brighton Beach.

The intro, as people are coming in and getting settled...


The middle bit...


The end...

Five Words. The Go Betweens. Bit edgy

You have to have a middle bit, it's the law, although I do like the finale

 

[Papak]

@WATFORD zero you have my choice in Jimmy Cliff, it almost seems to have been written as a funeral dirge.

I don't actually want a funeral however so not sure what options I have when the time comes...

Seriously? Cant I just have a pause, or maybe a poem?

Sympathy is a song I have loved ever since I first heard it. it’s my favourite song. It’s also a nod to my parents, especially my father, as I was raised in a very musical house.

Going up the chimney - Highway to Hell.

When my dad died a few years ago he’d always joked he wanted to go through the curtains to ‘Great Balls of Fire’ (partly his sense of humour but he was also a massive Jerry Lee Lewis fan). He did…….

 

[McTavish]

Entering: Should I Stay or Should I go Now - The Clash

Middle Bit: Rip it Up and Start Again - Orange Juice

Cremation: (Burn Baby Burn) Disco Inferno - The Trammps

 

[el punal]

Would anything by the Grateful Dead or Stiff Little Fingers be considered inappropriate?

I must admit, I'm not sure about the whole religious funeral/celebration of life thing but it seems to be popular amongst most religions. However three good songs, 'entrance, bit of a thoughtful moment, on your way', is something I would hope we can all agree on

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

Sparks Nr 1 Song in Heaven is my entry music

I can't believe you wouldn't want all your mates to have a 'thoughtful moment' (and sympathy iIMHO is magnificant )

I think you should go for a VAR review interlude in lieu of your middle bit

 

[MattBackHome]

I'm not telling you muppets cause you'll just nick my songs and then my funeral will be commes les autres.

Suffice to say there wont be a dry eye in the gaff, you just wait.

Fair point. Maybe something by Hot Chip then. Reason being is I feel they’re the single most band which has given me my most enjoyment on record and especially live.
