What music for your funeral?

This is for all non-EC or peripheral-EC topics. We all know how much we love talking about 'The Man' but sometimes we have other interests.

What music for your funeral?

Post by DeathWearsABigHat »

For the next episode of our Trust The Wizards music podcast, we are doing a "funeral music" special.
So let us know what music you would like played and why. We'll give you a mention on the podcast, maybe even play your song if we can fit it in.

Two candidates:

-"Voice in the Dark" for the big send-off 8) I love the idea of sending the mourners off into the night with this song resounding in their ears.
-"Lone Pilgrim," the traditional spiritual. I came to it via Bob Dylan's exquisite version, but I think Tom Jones's recent version might be better suited for the occasion.

Having had a major and life threatening event three years ago I have given this some thought. Ultimately I would like to go out to the strains of "Tomorrow Never Knows" by The Beatles. The thought of turning off my mind, relaxing and floating down stream seems enticing to me and equal to what I imagine the process of dying to be in reality. I would love that seemingly peaceful transition into 'nothingness' which I hope will be my future and final encounter with death.

Green Song or Birds will Still be Singing are the obvious choices....might go for Tramp the Dirt Down to be a contrary old git.
