Your funeral song.

[_jonas]

What song would you have played at your funeral?
What one song could capitalize the whole of you existence?

I'd choose Exit Music(for a film) by radiohead.

EDIT: explain...

[TheOtherAndrew]

Bryan Adams - Summer of 69

[versus_god]

I'll make you party at my funeral
'Cause mourning is for suckers.
I'll rent a ferris wheel and
cotton candy machine and have open bar
with all the Pabst that you can drink
the PA blasting my Clash records.

[IWasaCamera]

Same choices as the "fav song" thread, Hallelujah or The Trapeze Swinger.

[Neo Cassady]

Obligatory "At Your Funeral" post.

[TheOtherAndrew]

I'll make you party at my funeral
'Cause mourning is for suckers.
I'll rent a ferris wheel and
cotton candy machine and have open bar
with all the Pabst that you can drink

This too.

[_jonas]

Same choices as the "fav song" thread, Hallelujah or The Trapeze Swinger.
Cohen or Buckley?

i'm listening to buckley right now weeping.

[micahistheballs]

Asleep by the Smiths.

There is a better world, there must be.

[IWasaCamera]

Cohen or Buckley?

i'm listening to buckley right now weeping.
As much as I enjoy Cohen, Buckley.

[Chris Fallon]

Kid Rock. Pretty much his entire discography.

[_Andrew]

well this thread isn't morbid at all.. is it?

lol... anyway

I'd say either Sarah McLachlan's Angel or Jeff Buckley's cover of Hallelujah. Why? Because they're depressing yet I love them.

[FayeQC]

street flash by animal collective because if I have to be dead, people at the funeral are going to have to listen to wtf inducing music

[SanePsychotic]

I plan to have my body on those string thingys (like N*SYNC did in one of their videos) dancing to "Thriller". With a lightshow. :nod:

[SanePsychotic]

Asleep by the Smiths.

There is a better world, there must be.

That's actually a good pick. Might be my serious answer as well.

[hockeyguitar99]

playa hatin by josh tobin

[Chancetobe]

Well this is morbid and depressing. But, actually, I have no idea. I can't think of any songs that really sum me and my life up.

[bowl of oranges]

U2- M L K

[checkered.stars]

Killian's Red, just because it's so pretty.

[Until The Bombs]

Rollin' - Limp Bizkit.

[Dr. Acula]

Corey Hart - "Sunglasses At Night"

[June_Bug]

Kid Rock. Pretty much his entire discography.

"Only God Knows Why" was played at my brother's funeral.

Coldplay - The Scientist or anything by them.

[Regards]

Converge.

[AlternateToLife]

This feels very familiar. Didn't we already have a thread about this? (And no I'm not thinking the suicide one it was a while ago I think.)

[micahistheballs]

Converge.
Eh, just go with BMTH instead.

[DaveZeroZero]

The Truth About Heaven - Armor For Sleep

[GuitarR0cker1]

Brand New- Jesus Christ

[SauzaGold]

Freebird...

[hockeyguitar99]

The Final Countdown - Europe

[holyballs]

I'll make you party at my funeral
'Cause mourning is for suckers.
I'll rent a ferris wheel and
cotton candy machine and have open bar
with all the Pabst that you can drink
the PA blasting my Clash records.
<3 BTMI!

also, ive decided i want to have kickstart my heart by motley crue at my funeral

[Machu505]

"Televators" - The Mars Volta

[Kid B]

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

Eh, just go with BMTH instead.
:-D

[micahistheballs]

Radiohead- Motion Picture Soundtrack would be a real good choice too.

[Kid B]

Mmmmmmmmmmhmm. Stunning song.

[3mpire]

Street Spirit by Radiohead I guess. I tend not to think about these things!

[micahistheballs]

Mmmmmmmmmmhmm. Stunning song.
I will see you in the next life would be a perfect last line as well.

[DaveZeroZero]

Time to die, folks!

*drops bomb*













KAPOW!!

[Kid B]

Mii fun3r4l s0ng - Save Me (the theme song to smallville.)

[handlikesecret]

what a depressing topic.

oh well, Bebo Norman - Time Takes Its Toll

[Rock]

Rollin' - Limp Bizkit.
Haha. I can't help but laugh at that (I'm sure that was the point).

Without thinking on it long, I'm going to say "Cautioners" by Jimmy Eat World.

[Rock]

Coldplay - The Scientist or anything by them.
That's a good choice. I'd consider it. Beautiful song.

[girl afraid]

i wouldn't want something super depressing. i always thought "in the aeroplane over the sea" would be good

[DaveZeroZero]

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is depressing purely because Jeff Magnum is not a good singer.

[chaosB4storm]

play crack the sky by brand new

[WishYouAway]

Tonight, Tonight - Smashing Pumpkins

There's a vibe to that song that's unexplainable and the ending of it is just perfect.

[Kid B]

I love that song but I don't think it's quite a funeral song.

[handlikesecret]

Another One Bites The Dust? yes please.

[imahoodlum]

"hallelujah" by jeff buckley. it's seems appropiate for the occasion and it's a beautiful song.

[_jonas]

i may hold it on a Suday & play Sunday Sun to give it a hipster vibe, plus it's my favorite song.

Starálfur & No Surprises would both make beautiful passing songs as well...

[DaveZeroZero]

How can you hold it if you're dead?

[_jonas]

How can you hold it if you're dead?
it'll be advised in The Will.

[DaveZeroZero]

it'll be advised in The Will.

I bet that by the time we get around to having to write a will, it'll all be electronic.

[TheZeroKid]

I've always wanted Grace Of God Go I by Flogging Molly played at my funeral, but that might just put everyone over the edge.

[June_Bug]

That's a good choice. I'd consider it. Beautiful song.

Yea, every song they make is beautiful. Even the upbeat ones are suitable for a funeral.

[Machu505]

Maybe "Holland, 1945" to keep everyone's spirits up.

[tomakebelieve]

For just an instrumental track, I'd choose Aeris (Aerith)'s theme from FF7. Oh my god, I am a fucking dork.

In real non-dorkiness and actual songs, I'd choose Come All You Weary by Thrice.

[_jonas]

haha very dorky.

IPMf8G8Pi5o
i want mine to be somewhere near as awesome as this scene^

[musicfiend]

Tonight, Tonight - Smashing Pumpkins

There's a vibe to that song that's unexplainable and the ending of it is just perfect.
That's a good choice but I would go with Clarity by John Mayer or I Will Remember You by Sarah McLachlan.

[Kbm600]

Jumper - Third Eye Blind.

[Chris Fallon]

Jumper - Third Eye Blind.
Kind of a bad choice, considering what it's about haha

[Until The Bombs]

Hahaha...fucking Jumper. Great song, bad setting.

[Chris Fallon]

"He committed suicide ... but we wish he hadn't."

[Until The Bombs]

:crackup:

[allhourcymbals]

The Decemberists - After The Bombs

[WakeUpBlondie]

the city is at war-cobra starship

[MADSTA]

Probably something by Elliott Smith. Or maybe Gary Jules' cover of Mad World.
Or for just instrumental Redford by Sufjan.

"Televators" - The Mars Volta
Good choice. That song is so powerful.

[PadraicPrincess]

Asleep by the Smiths.

There is a better world, there must be.

This is quite possibly the saddest song ever made.

[Machu505]

If I die at 18, I'd pick "Soco Amaretto Lime" cuz I'll be staying 18 forever.

[PadraicPrincess]

I'll see you soon - Coldplay

I Found a Reason - Cat Power

Exiltude - The Killers

[micahistheballs]

This is quite possibly the saddest song ever made.
I think Asleep and There Is A Light That Never Goes Out may possibly be the two most beautiful songs ever written.

[Kbm600]

Kind of a bad choice, considering what it's about haha


True. But I love that song to death. Wouldn't stop me.

[anonymousgirl]

(*Fin) by Anberlin.

[chris1152]

[ThemChains]

[thespearkid]

Your 8th Birthday - Cloud Cult

[versus_god]

I think that "Here Comes A Regular" would be a nice choice, you know?

[alltimecam]

party all the time so everyone can remember how much i liked to party
i hope someone catches the reference

[_jonas]

I want Pink Moon played in it's entirety over & over again.

[Kid B]

If I had to pick a Nick Drake song I think it'd be either Place To Be or Horn.

[_jonas]

I mean the album

[Kid B]

I figured.

[DaveZeroZero]

party all the time so everyone can remember how much i liked to party

The Black Noise Party Boys' new EP?

[versus_god]

I'll make you party at my funeral

[Burning Star IV]

I've always wondered what would happen if Moneen's "The Song I swore Never To Sing" was played at someone's funeral who committed suicide.

Lyric: So kill yourself, surprise your friends.

[wroteurname]

At Your Funeral-Saves the Day
/lawlz

[Burning Star IV]

All the more appropriate if they drowned while high.

[DaveZeroZero]

I've always wondered what would happen if Moneen's "The Song I swore Never To Sing" was played at someone's funeral who committed suicide.

If only more kids in Wales knew of and like moneen, there could be some funny moments from the Bridgend suicides.

[zeropunk16]

AFI - The Leaving Song.

[DaveZeroZero]

it should so be Taking Back Sunday's "Timberwolves at New Jersey".

[Getup and Dance]

Jay-Z - Encore

[Bob Payne]

Tom Waits - Sea Of Love
or
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man

[ThemChains]

I'm serious...go listen to Asunder. The music for any funeral.

[pseudonym28]

kaddisfly - silk road

[chaosB4storm]

Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper

Probably not, but just saying...

[Anthony Lutz]

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

[Anthony Lutz]

Asleep by the Smiths.

There is a better world, there must be.

This would be a really good one too... I never thought about this song in a funeral setting.

[nashiscash1324]

Ding Dong Song by Gunther

[CheshireCat182]

I Miss You by Blink 182

[ThemChains]

The ironic posts in this thread...

[speakhandsforme]

Interesting topic; it's impossible to choose though. The following tracks come to mind, though:

There Went the World by Number One Fan
Polaris or Just Watch the Fireworks by Jimmy Eat Word
For the Sake of Remembering by Dave Melillo
Arietta by After the Sirens
Judah Reprise by After the Sirens

[mcdizzle88]

Just went to a friend's funeral on Monday. He was a soldier, and was killed in Afghanistan on the 1st.
He wanted "I Won't Back Down" by Johnny Cash to be played at his funeral, and his mom made sure that happened. It really got me thinking about this subject. I've thought a lot about it since then, and I just can't decide.

[fishguts182]

[DaveZeroZero]

If you'd play Jeffree Star on any occasion, especially your funeral, you deserve to die.

Just make sure you warn your guests to bring earplugs to the funeral service.

[TragicTricia]

[missrubybee]

Down- Blink-182

[kafe]

I haven't thought about this in years, and the last time I thought about it, it was Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
Now I can't decide, but maybe something by Sleeping at Last like 'Umbrellas' or 'Currents'

Or maybe Robyn's 'Eclipse' because it reminds me of a carride I have vivid memories of. The lyrics are kinda suiting also "There's an eclipse in your eye where I used to shine / Then it all just falls apart, The day I break your heart"

[shotgunxsinner]

Demolition Lovers
I made my only few friends promise to make sure it will be.

[Genuma]

Burn Baby Burn as I get cremated

[TragicTricia]

Would you run off into the sunset with Jeffree Star instead?
I probably would.

[Mirrorsandfevers]

Hard question.

[Bobby Tucker]

"Cut! Print It" by The Starting Line
"Wait, Wait, Wait" by The Format
"Rescued" by Jacks Mannequin
"If I Die" by Something Corporate
"The Lake House" by Hidden In Plain View

I'd prefer the first one, but after that take your pick, I guess I won't really have the choice at that point...

[Kid B]

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is depressing purely because Jeff Magnum is not a good singer.
Wow you are an idiot.

[swt_catastrophe]

Either Knights Of Cydonia or Stockholm Syndrome by Muse.

[Regards]

So Long, Lonesome - Explosions In The Sky

[The Boathouse]

Greatest View - Silverchair
