Funeral Music?

[AndrewStuart]

I'm writing a piece about funerals and death, so I'm putting together a mix to 'set the mood' (yes, morbid, i know)

Suggestions? Manchester Orchestra's Sleeper 1972 is a starting point.

My good friend passed away not too long ago and her boyfriend sang Iron & Wine's Such Great Heights at the funeral, I can't hear that song without bawling.

dead man's bones - it's extremely dark and ominous like a good keyboard should be.

[benn10]

Miley Cyrus - Party in the USA

[anthonydarko]

I've told people if I die for whatever reason, I have two requests for my funeral: One, no one must cry, everyone should smile and celebrate my life. Two, this song must be played at full blast at all times: a5BjIVS04jk

The Juliana Theory- Piano Song
Jeff Buckley- Hallelujah

i'm going to recommend songs that fit funeral themes for me, on complete, polar opposite ends of the spectrum.

sufjan stevens - "casimir pulaski day"
isis - "in fiction"

the former mostly because of the lyrics, the latter mostly because of the music.

The '59 sound by the gaslight anthem the whole song is about funeral music z2Lk5NU0XQw

[maxvsmaradona]

Wow.... I knew that's what that was about but that video is gut wrenching

fuck :-(

The dashboard video camera footage is actually what the songs about too. Really sad shit.

[deFobbed14yrs]

JEW- hear you me
i agree w/ the 59 sound

and funerals suck, just went to one today

bayside's blame it on bad luck will always be funeral to me b/c we all sang it at a funeral a couple of years ago

[steve187]

Arcade Fire - Funeral, the whole thing.

[anamericangod]

Funeral For A Friend

[SomedayTheFire]

The dashboard video camera footage is actually what the songs about too. Really sad shit.
I've seen the camera footage, but jeez that video was depressing.

[Slow Lights]

This Will Destroy You - The Mighty Rio Grande
The New Frontiers - Mirrors
The Format - On Your Porch (maybe..?)

wow ive never seen this video. i always knew what this song was about but seeing that footage just adds a completely different level of realism.

that's a love song, not about suicide like people originally thought.

Yahtzee

[BornUnderPunches]

the Beatles - Jey Jude; Let it Be
death cab for cutie - i will follow you into the dark
my chemical romance - cancer; first part of welcome to the black parade
Personally, I want an organ version Death of a Disco Dancer by the Smiths, or a song by Death Cab for Cutie, just because their songs are so moving

[HometownHero]

congrats on being a dick. fucking troll.

Lol you're a dumbass

[Ilovetheunknown]

Bayside - Winter

[maxvsmaradona]

wow ive never seen this video. i always knew what this song was about but seeing that footage just adds a completely different level of realism.

Yeah... just seeing the impact and knowing at that exact second, two people died (one being seven years old, and her being decapitated)... it's gut wrenching, really.

awesome, yet super depressing song

[cshadows2887]

I want a New Orleans funeral. And dance-funk played at the after-party. Kool and the Gang, The Commodores, Prince, Earth Wind and Fire. If it shakes asses, throw it on.

[Derka Derka]

I don't really even want a funeral, I just want to be cremated and toss in the ground somewhere.

[catherinexhimel]

I want November Rain by Guns N Roses played at my funeral.

[Kapa73]

I'm writing a piece about funerals and death, so I'm putting together a mix to 'set the mood' (yes, morbid, i know)

Suggestions? Manchester Orchestra's Sleeper 1972 is a starting point.

Bob Dylan - Forever Young, It's all over Now Baby Blue
Dawes - When My Time Comes
Shins - Past and Pending
The Faces - If I'm on the Late Side
The Kinks - Strangers
Jim James and Calexico - Goin' to Alcapulco
The Flaming Lips - Do you Realize??
Built to Spill - Life's a Dream
The Byrds - Turn, Turn, Turn
The Beatles - Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Black Keys - The Lengths
CCR- Long as I can see the light

This list encompasses different emotions of death, but it's what I got on my list so far.

[Kapa73]

I don't really even want a funeral, I just want to be cremated and toss in the ground somewhere.

I'm gonna get cremated and put somewhere too. Then, instead of wasting money on a useless casket (5-$10,000) I'm going to put it towards renting the floor of hotel and a near-by bar for anyone that wants to celebrate my life rather than mourn my passing.

[fflash]

I'm fairly certian the lyrics aren't 100% correct, but the song is good for what you want.

lol he didn't say he needed music about being anorexic.

[kim_nokiamusic]

Any of the early Black Heart Procession stuff is suitably dirgey..

[L0tt88]

pretty much anything by bon iver

[kbi the crowing]

lol he didn't say he needed music about being anorexic.

I don't think the song is about anorexia, even though it does allude to that poem. & either way it's still a sad song.
